Decline OF Securitien in London.

LONDON, Oct 23.-The Economist says:
'eThe most pronounced feature of the week
was the fall in English, American and Cana
dian securities. The movements in the two
last named are due to the disquieting condi-
ton of commercial relations across the At
lantic, which induced some Of the Canadian
banks to strengthen their cash reserves from
this side. Canadian railway securities have
fallen heavily, partly because of the issue of
the colorless report of the Grand Trunk rail
way company, which was made the pretext
for renewed speculative attack. Virginia

Pleased with the staunton Institute

Those from Richmond who attended the
institute for colored teachers at Staunton
are well pleased at the manner in which
the institute is being conducted. A gen.
tleman who arrived in this city from
Staunton Saturday. says: There are about
eighty-seven teachers in attendance. This
makes about ten more visiting at Staun-
ton than there were at the Petersburg In
Stitute last year and it is conceded by all
who have conducted former Institutes that
this is about the best one of the kind held
in the state
This is another evidence of the fact that
home talent is as well qualified for the ed
vocational work as any who have heretofore
been employed from abroad. 1t seems that
Professor Mitchell has made no mistake in
selecting and assigning his assistants to
the various departments. Prof. StOrum
seems especially fitted for instruction in
mathematics. Mr.. Parker of Alexandria,
who is in charge of the musical depart
ment. is one of the best informed persons
in that branch i'll the State. Prof. Moss
is at home in teaching the art of instruct
ing in geography and map-draWlng. Miss
Morris, of Alexandria, the instructor in
grammar. is acknowledged to be one of the
finest female educators that Virginia has
produced. She is energetic and thorough
ly interested in her work. Miss Boulding,
of Nottaway. is at home in the kindergar-
ter and object lesson system. And these
are all save Prof. Storum, VirginlanAby
birth. This shows, too, that the, present
Superintendent of Public Instsuctfon, who
is willing to give home taleN chance,
made no mistake in this instance. : Wing.
DEATH OF Col, JAS. COCHRAN.
an oversight we neglected to notice last
week the death Of Col. Jas. Cochran, which
occurred at his home in Culpeper, on the
18th. ]. Several weeks previous he had
been stricken with paralysis and never
rallied from the effects. Col. Cochran was
a native of this county, and the son of the
late Addison Cochran. He was man
whose many noble qualities of head and
heart won to him friends in all classes of
society. He was born at Loeb Willow,
near Churchville, Dec. 80, 1923. In youth
he attended the old Academy in Staunton.
and subsequently graduated in law at the
University of Virginia. He practiced in
Bath county for awhile and then moved
to Stauntcn where he continued actively
in his profession. At the breaking out of
the war he entered the Confederate ser
vice, and became a distinguished and dar-
ing officer. After the close of hostilities,
he married a daughter of the late Benja
min Crawford. Esq, and moved to Cul-
pepper, where he practiced law until APP
pointed post master at that place, posi-
ton he held until short time since ago.
which time he has been engaged III the
hardware business. Col Cochran was

DRUNKENNESS CURED. 1t is
generally presumed that when a man
has been cured once Of some iniirmity
or complication of diseases by the
use of our medicine, that he knows
good thing when he sees it. 1t is
stated by those who know that a
monkey cannot be induced to par
take a second time of any drink
which contains alcohol. 1t appears
as if the memory OF the pangs and
tortures first inflicted exert a len
eficial influence upon the animal.
Man is quite different in this regard
and a glance about us will show that
numbers Of our friends and neigh
bors are daily becoming the worse
by the use of intoxicants. This can
be remedied by the moderate use of a
well known remedy called Perun0.
If the medicine is taken daily, the
appetite for liquor will be finally re-
moved, and the patient, no matter
what his previous condition, will be
restored to sobriety. Yes, Perund
is great medicine, and should be
used by all. Send for it.

Then there seemed to ensue a
