SPRING AND SUMNER CLoTHING.-It will be
seen by reference TO his new advertisement,
that John w. Abby says "he is now receiving
the largest and best seiected stock OF mems,
boys, and children's clothing he ever offered In
this market" This being so, his stock must
be good one, for he has always heretofore kept
good stock on hand. He is good merchant
who can be relied upon to do business upon
the square." He is so well and favorably known
as not to need any special commendation.

THE METEOR OF SUNDAY MORNING OF LAST
WEEK.-The meteor of Sunday morning of
last week, which was so large and brilliant and
the explosion of which shook the earth like an
earthquake, and which was seen and felt over
a great part of Eastern Virginia, was also seen
and felt in Page county west of the Blue Ridge.
and those who saw 1t there thought 1t was
quite near them. To be seen at the same in
slant at places so distant from each other
shows that it must have been very high up,
and the fact that the earth was shaken in all
these places shows that the explosion must
have been OF almost inconceivable violence.
On the 9th of February similar one was seen
In Connecticut and Rhode Island, and short
time before similar one was seen in Missis-
sippi and Alabama. 1t would seem that the
earth in sweeping through its orbit is passing
through belt of meteors. They travel with
such inconceivable velocity that the friction
produced by the resistance of the air of our
atmosphere causes them to ignite But what
causes them to explode7 Who will rise and
explain? "There are more things in heaven
and earth Horatio, than are dreamt of in our
philosophy"
Virgins should have predicted the meteor
which did appear, instead of the destructive
storm which did not, and then his fame as a
prophet, of which he seems to be SO ambi-
tious, would have been established.

The "chief' says 1--WE have not received q
copy of the Telegram in which 1t referred 10 his
ma, ter and do not know NJ the time OF writ
ing this what 1t said'' OF course, the editor
in-chief" of the SPECTATOR penned the above
quotation before SIX O'Clock on last Saturday
evening, about which time he was seen with a
copy OF the Telegram In his hand. and WAS
heard to make reference to our little squlD.
The Telegram has been sent to the SPECTATOR
regularly every week.-Saturday Euenvng Tele-
gram.
In the short space of the last SIX lines In the
| above paragraph. there are three positive as
| sert;ons, all of which. ITO put it mildly" are
| incorrect.
| lst Our article referred to was not written
| "before six O'Clock on Saturday evening"" but
several hours after,
| End. We were mol, at that time, 'seen with a
| copy OF the Telegram in our hand" for thai
copy was not "in our hand" till Monday, when
copy was handed to US by a friend. That a
copy was not "seen in our hand at the tims
asserted can be proven by the gentleman wig
was with us at that time.
| 3d The Telegram has net been sent to this
SPECTATOR regularly every week. The first
| issue was not sent, the second and third were
the fonrth and fifth were not, as the Editor o.
| the Telegram knows, II he directs his paper tc
exchanges.
The community can judge from the above
what degree of credibility to attach to the state
ments Of the Telegram
The next paragraph in the article of the Tel
| egram is as follows:
"Our reason for popping that little squib last
| week was because " were under the impress
/ sion that the failure of the SPECTATOR to give
us common courtesy was Intentionally done
and we are still of the same opinion"
Like most other rules, there seems to be
some exceptions to the rule of Judging ofoth-
ers by yourself" 81
| II our averment that the failure to notice the
| Telegram upon its first appearance was not in
territorial needed support, 1t could be sustained
by four persons who were present when we
gave the instructions to give 1t a suitable no.
| tice.
| 1t is said that some are so perversely consti-
| tuted as that when

Convinced against their will
Are of the same opinion still.

And some like the veracio us individual who
said 1.-The horse was sixteen feet high" havt
such an unreasonable pride OF consistency tina,
they will persist in their first statement when
they know It to be untrue.
The Telegram calls itself "a poor little. devil
fly" wewlll not dispute the correctness o
its self-appreciation, being "too poiits to diher
from it in 'opinion"-in that regard.
We have given this ''poor little devil-fly
more notice than it deserves, but it woult
seem cruel to withhold from it that which Il
seems most to crave. 1t may huzz. but it can
not wound, for it has no sting, al we remain
in the language of "Rill Arp" "calm and Sc
rene,v knowing that
ocean need not Be into tempest tost,
