The Board of Visitors of the D :.
D. & B. Institution.

Tuesday last, the 1st Of April, was the
day appointed by law for the first meeting
of the new Board of Visitors of the D., D.
q B. Institution. appointed by the Board
of Public Works. On that morning the
commissions for the visitors arrived by
mail, directed to Edward Ecbols, Esq At
the same time Senator Twyman, of Madi-
SOL, one of the new Visitors appeared,
having arrived at the Virginia Hotel the
night before. He made visit to the In
stitution and fuding that no other foreign
Visitor had arrived, took the 9:45 A. M.
train back for home. On Wednesday Jas.
r. Stout, of Augusta. and Jos. A. Wad-
dell and Isaac Witt, of Stanton, three of
the new Visitors, held meeting in Staun-
ton, and by virtue of the law empowering
''any three members of the Board of
Visitors to Call meeting of the
same,' issued call for full meeting
of the Board in Stauntol on Thursday,
April 10th, and mailed the call to
the various members. AS there seems
to be some misapprehen sion about
the law affecting the Institution it may be
proper to state that it only vacates the Of
fees of the Board of Visitors, and not the
places of the officers of the Institution.
1t is probable that the Democratic Board
which meets next Thursday will follow
the same plan adopted by the Coalition
Board of 1882 and make no changes in the
Institution until the close of the session
in July. Vacancies that exist or may oc-
cur before the end of the session will be
filled by the present Board. The old
Board had had an inventory taken and
settled up it's affairs preparatory to turn
ing over the control of the Institution to
the new Board last Tuesday, but the
transfer is delayed until next Thursday.
The delay IN the issuing of the Commls-
sions to the new Board arose out of the
fact that the clerk to the Board OF Public
Works mistakenly supposed that April
18th was the date of their meeting.

The Law Against Carrying Concealed
Weapons

The following act amending and re-
enacting the 7th section of the Revised
Criminal Code in reference to the carrying
of concealed weapons, was passed at the
late session of the General Assembly and
approved by the Governor on the 22d of
February. In view of the fact that many
persons are in the habit of carrying con-
cealed weapons, we publish the law as it
now reads, as matter of general interest:
Section 7. eff person carry about his

shot, or any other weapoa Of the like kind,
he shall be fined not less than twenty dol

slung shot, or any other weapons of he
like kind, shall be confscated by the police

he is pretty good amateur. but when
men are getting to be gray it is time to
forget few of their boy tricks.

influence felt.
Lewis Eubar, who lives over the woods
near Bristol, came out to the village on
Friday last, and, returning. struck into
the woods near n. Culver's to save
mile or two travel. While following the
path he stepped into a large bear trap,
which drove tooth through his boot
leg and several thcknesses of trousers
and overalls, which were tucked into the
boots and into his leg. By hard work
and the help of stick he managed to get
the spring down and tied down and his
foot out, but is now seriously lame. He
was prisoner for several hours. Some
one was evidently very careless, to say
the least.
