COUNTY COURT - MAllONEITE TAX-RECEIPT

Correspondence of the Richmond Dspaich.l
FINCAsTLE. November II, 1882.
\ large crowd attended County Court
yesterday, and everybody wanted to know
The news from the election. Was there
ever before so much delay in getting at the
facts and figures OF Virginia election?

two against parties for felonious assault

A PREMONITION OF DEATH,
Sad indeed were the circumstances that
assembled the large crowd in the NIetho-
dist church this evening. Mrs. ID. p.
Crush, the wife OF the popular young
sheriff of this county, was bride Just a
few months ago, and to-day she was
buried from the Methodist church OF this
place, Rev. Collins Denny officiating. 1t
is quite remarkable that shortly before she
was taken sick she had premonition that
she would die OF typhoid-feyer, and made
known her fears to number OF her
friends. In few days she was taken with
typhoid-pneumonia, from which she died.
On the fourth Sunday in this month DR..
c. Tyree, OF Liberty, commences Il pro-
tracted meeting at this place.
Rev. G. Gray has just returned from a
similar meeting at the Natural Bridge, at
which seventeen persons professed CONVEX

TREF-PLANTISG AT ALABAMA AGRICULTURAL
AND MECHANICAL COLLEGE.
Correspondence OF the Richmond Dispatch'I
There was grand gala day at the Alabama
Agricultural and Mechanical College few
DAYS AGO. in which the officers and cadets
OF that institution, the young ladies OF the
Female Seminary, and the citizens Of Au-
burn generally participated. At the sug-
gestion OF the new president, DR.. W. LIE
roy Brown, (who by the way, is one OF
Virginil's distinguished educators,) the
faculty suspended all college exercises to
have a tree-planting on the college campus.
A large number OF memorial and honor
trees were planted, and each officer and
cadet of the college planted tree, which
will be under his especial care. Hundreds
OF trees were planted, representing most
OF the forest and shade-trccs OF that State.
This is a beautiful idea, and no doubt these
trees will add greatly to the beauty OF the
campus of the institution.

"For the past two days two Latter-Day

1t is the Cameronian idea that the Re-

henceforth every Republican is at liberty
to do what and go where he chooses. The
purpose, 1t is said, is to force NEW de-
parture," and negotiations have already
been opened with class OF Democrats
favorable to 1t. The expectation, 1t is said,
is that it will not be difficult to attach a
considerable part OF the South to such a
movement while the Stalwarts and what
may be described as "Butler Democrats"
in the North are said to be ready for 1t.

Texas Land Sold for an English

memphis (Tenn) Avalanche.l
one OF the largest sales OF land ever
known was effected by Captain w. &. Veal,
OF Dallas, Texas. He sold 100000 acres
OF land in Western and Northwestern
Texas to an English company. This COM
pany will sell alternate tracts OF from 300 to
800 acres to European immigrants wishing
to settle upon il. The settlers will improve
their possessions, and by so doing will in
crease the value Of the reserved tracts. In
many parts OF Texas the value of land has
doubled itself i'm the last two years. Within
six years land that was bought for 81 an
acre has been known to bring from $40 to
$50. The Texans, in many parts, do not
look with favor upon these extensive
English purchases. They are afraid OF the
tyranny Of landordism. They forget that
there is great deal more land in Texas
than in the whole Of the British Isles.

The Bangor Commercial in well con-
sidered article advocates change in the
law of libel. 1t shows that journalism
has outgrown the present law, and sug-
gests that at least an amendment should
be made that "the person who sues for
libel should be able to give bond of suf-
ticient amount to pay the costs in case q
libel is not proven This is certainly
very sensible and just proposition
Now the seeker for notoriety may find it
by bringing a libel suit and leaving the
defendant to pay the costs. SO far as the
newspapers are concerned they do not
ask or expect any special immunity, nor
will they shirk any part Of their respon-
sbility to the public. But it is unjust to
place them at the mercy of notoriety-
seeking cranks and specializing pettifog-
gers, and we commend the suggestions
OF the Commercial to our contemporaries
as worthy of consideration
