ASsoCIATIoN-AN IMPORTANT SESSION OF
THAT BoDY.-Last Monday night the Mer-
chants and Manufacturers Association held
its regular monthly meeting, President, j. A
Cochran in the Chair.
The regulations adopted at the June meeting
governing weights of Hay and Grain were re-
pealed.
Mr.. Charles L Weller offered the following
preamble and resolutions which were adopted
without dissenting voice. Several members
Of the Association made brief remarks upon
the merits of the questions involved in them,
and all concurred in the propriety of the move
ment indicated.
WHEREAS there has ever existed the most
cordial relations and mutually beneficial trade
intercourse between the city of Staunton ana
county of Highland, and the border countles
of West Virginia; and DESTROYS OF perpetua.lng
those kindly feelings and by the mutual eHorts
of city and county to enlarge our dealings ana
intercourse and thus to develop the resources
of both, it is meet and proper, that tne Mer-
chants and Manufacturers Association OF Inc
city of Staunton should inaugurate movements
for the accomplishment of these purposes. 10

Staunton through the intervening sectlon 0!
Augusta county and thence through H1gniand
to the West Virginia line will best promote lne
objects in view. A charter for the construction
and Operatl on of such a work is the frst ana
necessary step by which a commencement can
be made. Observations as to routes and lOca-
ton and free Interchange of views among the
people interested are essential in any move
ment made, and therefore, in giving starting
shape to the design the Association deems IL
proper, that in the application for charter
there should be as full representation or all
the interests involved as 1t may be practicable
to obtain. Therefore be 1t,
RESOLVED, LIST. That the President of this AS
ISOLATION do appoint Committee of nine, nVe
from the members of this Association. two
from the City Council and two at large from
citizens of the city, who are requested to confer
with the people of Augusta county along the
sections thereof which may manifest inter-
est in the work, also with those of Highland
county and those in the West Virginia coun
ties disposed to CO operate in the scheme, and
after maturing their views in the premises
prepare an application in time for the meeting
Of the next Legislature for the purpose of OBJ
tanning charter, and that said committee re-
port to this Associ ton from time to time the
progress made.
Resolved, End. That this Association respect
fully and earnestly requests the active co-opera-
ton of the citizens who may be selected from
the Council and from the city at large in con-
cert with its own members in carrying forward
the design which has called the committee into
existence.
The committee provided for under the fore
going resolution, and other committees created
at the June meeting. as proposed by the report

ed hereafter.

County.
A MOST VALUABLE WORK THAT ALL SHOULD
POSSESS.

We are pleased to announce that the illus
trated Historical Atlas of Augusta county,
published in admirable style by Messrs.
Waterman, Watkins Co., of Chicago, Hi
nois, is now ready for delivery to subscribers
and purchasers. This very valuable work,
which is a mine of Information, is furnished
at sl2 per copy. Though this may seem high,
yet it is not so for any one Its chief features
Is worth more than that sum to any intelli-
gent Citizen of this county.
1t contains an accurable and carefully pre-
settlement to the present time, written in
clear and concise style by Hon. Jos. A. Wad-
DELL than whom none could have performed
that labor in better manner.
1t con tains, also, beautiful maps, from orig
inaI surveys, by Maj. Jed Hotchkiss, of the
United States, Virginia and West Virginia,
Augusta county, Staunton, and each of the Dis
in the best style. These maps alone are worth
more than the price of the work.
Mai Hotchkiss, ALSO furnishes the Physiog-
raphy of the county, embracing the extent and
character of the surface, the waters of the
county, Geology, Mineralogy, Meteorology,
animal and vegetable productions. etc. 1t
contains, also, biographical sketches of c1ti-
zens of the county, and engravings of Public
Institutions, and private residences, and OBJ
jects of interest too numerous to mention. 1t
is useless to go more into detail as those who
wish to buy it will examine it and judge OF its
merits for themselves.

The rage for color in ornaments is the same
as that in every other direction this season.
This summer yellow predominates in the way
of color. but the tints and shades are endless.
Fans of large and unique forms are the only
ones that should be used for wall decorations
Chartreuse is color that embraces many
shades of green, from old bottle to pale cress
green.
Embroidery, flowers, feathers and tfnsel are
the combinations found in dressy summer bon
nets
Large bows of white ribbon or OF piece goods,
generally soft silk, adorn many summer frocks
The Jersey is now only worn OF a morning
and is quite discarded for dressy and elegant
toilets.

Absinthe and pale coral is a French color
combination much IN favor on the other side
at present.
EViolet is shade which is more used this sea-
son in millinery than ever before, or at least
for many years.
Very new and elegant dresses are of net,

For lawn tennis and out door sports, striped
materials take the lead in cream and blue

White canvas having stripes of color is most
effective when made into y skirt with pure

Some lovely wide garden hats have been
made of pleated gauze and net frames with sat-

Department..
Programme of the summer Normal at
stanton.

Peabody Normal Institute will be held at
stauntop. Va, beginning July Nth and closing
Auoust 9TH 1885 1t will be conducted by Prof.
CHI. winston of Richmond College, assisted
bv Prof F. V. n. Painter, of Roanoke College,
and Prof. VIM. F. Fox, Principal of the Rich
mond High School.
The programme of exercises will include: l.
A daily lecture On some general department of
education as the history of psychology Of edu-
cation methods of teaching, school organiza-
ton and discipline, &c. 2. A daily lecture on
elementary science as adapted to the work of
the common schools 3. Daily exercises in
arithmetic, grammar. photography, language,
reading, geography, history, writing and map.
drawing. And, 4. If found desirable, brief
course in higher composition and English and
American literature.
The effort will be made to divide the school,
as far possible. into two classes, one for ell
ementary and the other for advanced instruc-
ton. The teachers in attendance will be ex-
pected, therefore, to furnish, at their registra-
ton, such Information as will afford the in
structors reasonable basis for such division.
In assigning teacher to either division regard
will be had TO his wishes and needs.
The instruction will be thoroughly practical,
far as the instructors make it so, and will
be adapted to the needs OF teachers these
shall from time to time reveal themselves. In
some subjects the Question and answer meth
cd will be adopted so far as it seems desirable
and an effort thus lie made to utilize the knowl-
edge and experience of the teachers them
selves.
The course will be consecutive and as far as
it goes, complete. It is important, therefore,
that teachers should be present on the first day
and remain till the close of the Institute.
The following programme will indicate in a
general way the division of subjects and the
plan of work, but 1t will be modified if necessa-
ry to meet the wants of the school,
