George w. Giffin of East Hardwick,
w., clerk for f. G. Williams, in Gov
entry, took morphine on Friday, and
died that night. He was 20 years of
age, and confessed to the doctor that
he had taken first a teaspoonful and
later a tablespoonful of the poison. He
said he wanted to die, and that the
girl whom he loved, naming one at St.
Johnsbury, would be dead as soon as
himself, as they had planned to take
poison at the same time.

DRAGGING PAINs.-Dr. r. V. Pierce,
Buffalo, N. Y: Dear Sir-My wife had
suffered with female weaknesses for
nearly three years. At times she could not
move, she had such dragging pains. We
often saw your 'Favorite Prescription
advertised, but supposed like most patent
medicines 1t did not amount to any thing,
but at last concluded to try bottle, which
she did. 1t made her sick at first, but 1t
began to show its effect in marked i'm
provement, and two bottles cured her.
Yours, etc., A. j. HUYCK, Deposit, N. Y.

coming back to them.

FALL OF OVER ONE HUNDRED FEET WITH
OUT INyURY--NIRACUL0Us ESCAPE PROM
pEATH-FUNERAL OF REV. r. r. JACKSON
SAD H--PERSONAL-CR0P PROSPECTS.
Correspondence Of the Richmond Dispatch.l
JUNE II, 1882.
A most miraculous and remarkable es-
cane from instant death occurred here this
morning. Mr.. David Thomas, we'll
known Young citizen, fell a distance OF over
one hundred feet from the roof OF the
"City Mills" building, belonging to Messrs.
Davis. Roper & Co., on the south bank OF
tbe Appomattox, and escaped even the
slightest injury. The steep roof OF this
building is being slated, and MIR. Thomas
nj the time was engaged in removing one
of the heavy dormer windows from near
the apex OF the roof The timbers became
loosened sooner than expected and fell
against Mr.. Thomas, who was unsupported
i'm his position. He was knocked down
and dragged distance OF some thirty
feet TO the caves Of the roof. and
thence of into the air fully q
hundred feet above the ground.
I'm his descent he turned many sommcr-
| saults. His escape from instant death
was due to the fortunate fact That ne
landed in the forcbay OF the mill, in which
there was about twelve feet depth OF water.
Here another remarkable circumstance
NAV be noted. The forebay is crossed by
heavy stills at distance of about four feet
from each other. He fell between two OF
these without touching either. The win
dow-frame that fell with Mr.. Thomas
struck against one OF the sills and was
shattered into fragments. Mr.. Thomas is
now walking about the streets as well as
before his fall, and apparently refreshed by
his bath.
The funeral Of the Rev. Robert +. Jack
son took place this afternoon at O'Clock
from st. Paul's church in the presence OF
very large congregation. Many OF the
clergy from Richmond and number OF his
late parishioners came over to attend the
funeral and show their respect to his
memory.
Mrs. NJ. =. Bridgers, a daughter OF the
late DR.. S. NJ. Sheppard, OF Augusta coun-
tv, and wife Of Mr.. s. s. Brdgers, promi-
nent merchant of this city, died last eve
ming after brief illness. She leaves a
family of six young children. Her funeral
took place this afternoon.
Rev. DIR. L. ii. Rutherford, OF st. Louis,
arrived in the city this afternoon to spend
several weeks with his old friends. lie
was formerly and for some years the pastor
of the Tabb-Street Presbyterian church..
DR.. Witherspoon, the present pastor, Is
now visiting in st. Louis.
The crop prospects in the South-Side Sec
ton may be briefly stated as follows ::
Wheat better than for many years past;
winter oats splendid; spring oats failure,
owing to the dry weather and lice; cotton,
corn, and peanuts late, but generally
healthy: tobacco backward on account OF
dry season, but plants plentiful.
The internal-revenue receipts in the Pc
tersburg district for the week ending to-
day amounted TO $4,000. The exports OF
manufactured tobacco for the week amount
ed to 59,G9S pounds. ROBIN ADAlR.

There was an excellent programme OF
recitations, music, calisthenics, essays, and
all that, for the closing exercises of the
public school, which took place yesterday
at the Masonic Hall, and the programme
was executed admirably. II only there had
been some " flashes Of silence" while other

The people OF Patrick county will be
called upon on the lst Of July 10 vote for
or against subscription of $4,000 for the
Danyille and New-River railroad. Major
Sutherlin commenced canvass of the
county on the 18th, and expects TO canvas,
the county thoroughly. This amount. it Is
estimated, will extend the road from Mar
tinsville TO TaylorsviIle. A writer from
that county to the Register says that the
wheat crop is nearly ready for the scythe
the oat crop unusually promising, and
the tobacco absolutely magnificent. The
same writer says that the reports us to the
suffering in that county have not been al
all exaggerated. From other quarters
learn that the crops Of vegetables are not
good, and that not very large crops OF corn
were planted nor large crops OF oats sown,
the people not having the teams necessary
for the blowing. The railroad question,
however, is not matter Of one year or OF
two.
The report from several parts Of the sur
rounding country is that the crop Of oats is
not very good, and, first, because Of the
damages by the insects; second, because
the dry weather, which has not been so
very good for the wheat, has not been good

A TRUE BILL.-The President OF the
Philadelphia Board Of Education declares
that in the schools under his charge the
memory has become the measure OF scholar
ship. He added:
Construction which is merely task ofthe
memory must be iatiguing drudgery to the
pupil, iifeless and narrowing to the teacher.
il leaves the scholar in the end with the
most limited benefit from his severe tasks,
and. instead Of implanting love Of know
ledge, creates repugnance for and dis
gust with books OF IN improving charac-
ter.'
We suspect that the fault alluded to as
existing in the public schools OF Philadel-
phia characterizes too many schools else
where. Professor HUXLEY, in one OF his
model essays, declares that the same defect
is to be found in the schools in England
with which he has to deal as superintend'
ent.
