which were spread and all invited to the
repast. We would like, in order to do JUS
tice to the Professor and pupils, to give
the speeches and dialogues on the occa-

pany. Of late years Mr.. Hawkins health

himself compelled to retire from active
labor, and in recognition of his long and
faithful services the Company have retired
Mr.. H. on liberal salary for life.
Mr.. B. B. Eskridge, who for ten years

has been appointed agent. Mr.. E. is an
old express man, having been in the SER
vice for thirteen years !; is well known and
popular with the Staunton people, and will
make a most efficient successor to Mr..
Hawkins. Mr.J.H. Alexander, son of DR..

ton Of chief clerk. We congratulate the

into the hands of two such popular gentle
men. Mr.. Jas. Teabo solongand favorably
known in that connection. will continue
in charge of the delivery department.

The recent decision of the Court of APP
peals at Richmond in the case of Ken
drick settles the question of the right Of
a witness to refuse to testify before court
on a plea that his testimony may do him an
injury. For some years past it has been diff
ficult to convict any one for keeping a gam-
bling house, because the witnesses who had
knowledge of such places usually refused
to give testimony on the ground that @
do SO would be an injury to them. Inc
same plea was used in other cases. The
decision Of the court in the Kendrick ease
settles this point. Judge Fauntleroy de-
liyered an able opinion in the case, con.
