DIED

On Nov. -. 1881, Mrs. Amanda Flynn,
who lives near Toms Brook aged 81
years, months and days.
She was a faithful, gulieless, sincere
and true woman. Though one very nm
assuming in manner and conversation.
Her life was wholly devoted to the little
world about her, her own family first,
over whose comfort and interest she pre-
sided "a faithfully ~ is possible for even
mother 60 do. Then her care and all
possible aid was extended 70 all who
camo within her reach, 50 much so that
her neighhois say none went unicd from
her door Even the unsightly beggar was
always the receiver Of her hospitality for
she was willing 10 do something for the
unworthy rather than turn the needy
away empty. In this way and many
other good works her character IA that of
the approved christian, and though not u
member of the church she was firm
believer in christianity woman Of
prayer herself and one who taught her
family of devoted children 10 lisp the
name of Jesus in prayer.
blessed are the dead who die in the
Lord, from henceforth; yea, saith the
Spirit they do rest from their labors and
| their works do follow them"
May their Heavenly Father comfort the
crushed husband and bind up tenderly the
/ bleeding wounds Of these dear children
and lead all at last to heaven. b.

young lady, esteemed by all who knew

A DAsIARDLY ACT.-Last evening about
) o'clock, the magazine of the Virginia
Military Institute was blown up and to-
tally demolished. There were about five
hundred pounds of powder in the brick
magazine. Fortunately 10 serious dam-
age. other than the destruction Of the
powder and Building, was done. The ex-
plosion was terrific, and houses in Lex
ington were shaken from garnet to cellar
Many of the lights in the barracks were
blown out, bricks were thrown as far rs
the Lexington Manufacturing Company's
Works. The magazine was situated on
river cliff back of the institute and not
more than seventy-fvo yards from the
Richmond and Allegheny railroad track.
There was train due just about the time
the explosion took place; had the train
been near the magazine at the time of the
blow.up, it would most probably have
been thrown from the track. Glass were
broken in the barracks and professors
houses.
The act is supposed to have been done
by a cadet, and a slow fuse must have
been used. Five cadets were dismissed
at dress parade Tuesday afternoon for
having some ninety pounds of State pow
der, which they had stolen, concealed in
their room. The cadets have for some
weeks been amusing themselves explod-
ing bombs, ETC., in rear of the barracks /;
but this is the first wantOn destruction Of
State property we have ever known. The
loss to the state is about $1,000. The af
fair is being thoroughly Investigated, and
the guilty party, be he cadet or citizen,
will receive the full benefit of the law.
The Commonwealth attorney has been
asked TO notify the Governor and have a
reward offered for the conviction OF the
criminal -Ler. Gazette, 4h.

IfXmas day on Thursday be,
A wiuday winter ye shall see;
Windy weather in each week,
And hard tcmpests, strong and thick
The summer shall be good and dry,
Corn and beasts shall multiply;
That year is good for lands to TIL,
Kings and princes shall die by skill;
Ifa child born that day shall be,

And if sickness that day betide,
