AN ADvENTUREA AT SEA.-Several ofthe land
lubbers, who left here last week for several
weeks sport on be briny deep are pretty well
satisfied with their experience. We learn,
through a letter from one of them. that on last
Friday. whilst out from Newport News in a
fishing smack, they were struck by sudden
and most terrific storm, which carried them
seven miles out to sea- and their lives were in
imminent danger at every moment The Cap.
tain of the vessel was himself frightened and
declared it the most severe gale he had ever ex-
perienced. However ''all's well that ends well''
and we are glad to say that no lives were lost,
though we understand that the internal reve-
nue. tax laid on them by old neptune was about
100 per cent. ad ualoren..
They went down to the sea in Ships The
sun shone bright and the dancing wavelets
were beautiful to behold. The music man
sang "a Life on the Ocean Wave" the treasu-
rer marveled at the riches presented to his
view, free to all, who would gather, and with
no tax on the coupons the country-man COM
lean hue of his own native mountains; in fact,
everything was altogether lovely and the
goose was hanging high" But, alas! the
change! A small cloud rose in the west-a
small wind rippled the waters-.he small boat
began to rock and the three little men from
the Valley" began to feel sick. The treasurer
could carol no longer, the cook was done up
brown, and the summers son of Hebron wreak
ed his discomfort upon the oceans bosom.

A Protest by . Mute.

EDITOR SPEcrAToR:-I earnestly. but re-
spectfully, beg to present you this for publica-
ton through your excellent paper.
Mr.. W. M. Berkeley, a most worthy, faithful.
and beloved teacher was disgracefully turned
out Of this Institution after it became known
that he was reelected and his place filled by
John W. Michaels. who pretends to be a Read
ulster, but cast his ballot for Daniel 1. as well
as all others, do intensely protest against such
change.
I know Michaels well, and have for years
known him to run strongly on Democratic
principles.
Michaels first effort was to get DR.. E. L. Tur-
ner's place, and as his case was in progress,
thinking it would certainly be effectual, went
into an adjoining room and made brilliant
speech, in the presence of a young lady and
two gentlemen, against Funderism.
The case resulted in the election of F. G..
Yates and Michaels became much enraged and
said: Yates cannot spell well; he cannot say
the Lords Prayer; he is unacquainted with
signs; so is Brannaman; and began to protest
against it.
Michaels has no experience in printing. He
has never been q printer by trade though he
SO informed the Board. I am not in the habit
of calling any one a liar. but I will say the
above is a falsehood.
Now, we are all surprised at the removal OF
Mr.. Berkeley, who has been for many years
| connected with this Institution, and devoted
his whole time to the educational welfare OF
| the deaf and dumb. He is an honest man and
| Christian gentleman. TAx-PAYER.

CHANGE OF Observation-Disclosures the
recent term of the Circuit Court of Augusta, the,
name of the widow and infant children Of the
late Joseph D. Mallon was changed from Mal~
lon to Kelly. It appears that Mr.. Mallon's
paternal name was Kelly. but he. after reach-
ing manhood. adopted the surname Of his
mother, and shortly, afterwards came to Au-
gusta to reside with brother and sister of ht,
mother, Mr.. John Mallon and Miss Kate MsAl-
lon 1t is not unusual for person to adopt the
surname of his mother, butt for family reasons.
Mrs. Mallon thinks it better that she and her
children should hear the name Of Kelly. Hence
the change.

1t is our firm conviction that the best
thing the party can do is to let Mr.. Mas
sey make the fight without contest. Let
there be no convention. A convention
called for that purpose alone, we deem
altogether unnecessary and imDolitic.
Mr.. Massey has declared himself, in
language unequivocal, to be Democrat,
unwilling thaG Virginia shall be handed
over by Boss Malone to Boss Arthur, as
a recompense for the patronage which
has been placed at his disposal by the
Administration. This is certainly
enough to entitle him to the suffrage of
every true Democrat in the State. This
is not the time for our party to assume
an air of defiance, and claim a strength
which the figure for the past several
elections do not warrant. We are con-
fident we can win, because we are as
fully confident that our party will be
governed by sound discretion and judg
ment in their actions prior to and DUR
ing the coming fignt.-Rockiaghan1

The simple question to be determined
is, whether Massey will gain more read
