WESTERN LUNATIC AsYLUM.-In the
Dispatch of Saturday, we find the follow
ing
Among the bills introduced at this SEES
sion of the General Assembly is one by
Mr.. Opie, of Augusta, appropriating some
ST. 900 to defray the current expenses of
the Western Lunatic Asylum for the fiscal
year ending September so, 1884. DR.. A.
M. Fauntleroy, the superintendent of the
asylum, in advocating the bill before the
committee yesterday, stated that of the
800, 1000 appropriated by the last General
Assembly for the fiscal year commencing
October /, 1888, and ending September 80,
1884, $4,000 had been expended by the
Coalition administration in the six and a
half months Of the fiscal year during which
they had control. In addition to this they
spent Sic, 1908 of money derived from pay
patients making the average expenditure
per month, $l3, 1894. 96-leaving only money
enough for the remaining five and a hall
months to furnish monthly average Of
$4, 4S5.
1t would at least have been fair to have
stated that every dollar appropriated by
the old Board Of Directors had been judi
ciously expended and properly accounted
for. The heavy expenditures Of the ole
management were for permanent improve
ments, which were badly needed.

A Work OF ART.-Mr. G. A. Richard
son has completed the successful model
ing and casting of a life-size bronze bust
of Hon. James G.. Blaine. This work was
begun and executed in two weeks time.
Mr.. Richardson has only seen Mr.. Blaine
on one or two occasions, but each time
studied his features closely and carefully
His work now shows he has faithfully
copied the well known lineaments OF the
original in plaster-of paris and bronze,
simply relying on his memory, with the
aid of several fine photographic portraits
used during the progress of the work. This
excellent production can be seen fol
few days at Mr.. Richardson's law office
We would suggest to Mr.. r. tt
place his work in some suitable place Sc
the public generally can see it. 1t bears
the evidence of an artists hand in every
line and feature, and would be a credit tt

PASTORS CALLED.-On Sunday morning
last, after an impressive sermon by Rev.
J. A. Preston, of Thinking Spring Church,
the members of the First Presbyterian
Church, of Staunton, held congregational
meeting for the purpose OF calling pastor
to the vacant pulpit of that church. The
vote was taken by ballot without any NOM
nations, and resulted as follows : For Rev.
J. P. Strider, SO Rev. W. S. P. Bryan, SO ;
Rev. S. III. Halves, q Rev.W. w. Moore, l..
Mr.. Strider having received a majority
of all the ballots cast, was declared by the
Moderator the choice Of the congregation.
Mr. j. A. Waddell, for the minority, then
moved to make the call unanimous, sup
porting his motion in an earnest and i'm
pressive little address. The motion was
seconded by VIM. Frazier, who urged har-
mony, and spoke in warm terms OF the
wisdom of the selection. Prof. L. Poyntz
moved that the vote to make unanimous
be by ballot, but his motion not receiving
a second, the original motion was carried
without dissenting voice.
On motion Of Mr.. Waddell, the Moder-
ator appointed the following as commits
sioners to prosecute the call in the way
deemed most expedient
Jos. A. Waddell, VIM. A, Burke, VIM,
Frazier. On motion, the same persons
were authorized to subscribe the call for
the congregation. The motion of Mr..
| Chas. Grattan, that the salary offered be
81, 900 and the parsonage, was unanimously
adopted. The meeting then adjourned
with the benediction.
| Rev. Mr.. Strider has been temporarily
supplying the pulpit of the LIST Church.
and during his sojourn among our people
has completely won their hearts. He is
an able, impressive speaker, and we doubt
not will prove power for good in the field
to which he has been called. The congre
CATION has made wise choice,

MURDER IN THE CoUNTY.-On Satur-
day night last, near Patrick S Mill, in this
county, Ely Middlebrook shot and killed
Thomas Brown, and also shot Wilson Co.
ings in the arm, inflicting painful wound.
AL of the parties are colored. The diff
Guilty is said to have been occasioned by
jealousy, Middlebrook accusing Brown of
being too familiar with his wife. The two
men had been quarrelling outside of the
house of Wilson Goings, the father of the
woman in question. After listening to
them for some time Goings called Brown
into the house, where MiddIebroQk's wife
was and shut the door i'm Middlebrqok,s
face. This so enraged the latter that he
made an attempt to effect an entrance by
force and succeeded sufficiently to enable
him to introduce his pistol and fire at
GOings, infiicting a severe wound in the
arm. He then ran to another door,
forced an entrance and grabbing Brown
with his left hand, shot him dead. The
pistol used was a fve-chamber Bulldog
Brown was also armed.
On Sunday morning, Middlebrook, who
had made no effort to escape, was arrested
and sent to Jail under commitment Of
Justice COiner.
