An DISCOVERY,

While j. S. Derway was at work in his
swamp near Heineberg bridge yesterday
near muck bed he stepped upon one end
of II gun almost completely covered IN the
soil which caused the other end to fly up
from its resting place. Upon examination
it was found to be double barrel breach
loading shot gun manufactured by Rem
ington 81 Son. The iron was completely
encrusted with rust, but the wood parts
were well preserved and had the appear
ance of having been in the soil but few
months. About year ago Mr.. Derway
dug two holes in the swamp within II few
feet of where the shot gun was found, for
the purpose of procuring muck and he
went there on this occasion to examine
them. lie found them covered with alders
which had been thrown over them and this
TACT with the unusual occurrence of find
ing gun of this description aroused his
suspicion. He brought the shot gun to
this city last night and the place where it
was found will be thoroughly examined.

Catarrh Can be Cured

That exceedingly disagreeable and very
prevalent disease, catarrh, is caused by scrof-
uous faint in the blood. Hoods Sarsaparilla,
by Its powerful purifying and vitalzing action
upon the blood speedily removes the cause,
and thus effects radical and permanent cure
of catarrh. Those who suffer from its varied
symptoms - uncomfortable flow from the nose,
offensive breath, ringing and bursting noises
in the ears, swelling of the softparts of the
throat, nervous prostration, etc. - should take
Hoods Sarsaparilla and be cured.

NORMAL SCHOOLS THROUGH
OUT THE STATE.

1t is certain that tha Public School sys-
tenn contemplates teachers educated for
that profession. and also that the facil-
ties for that education shall be distributed
throughout the State at convenient points,
The distribution should naturally be on g
Normal each for the Southside, Tidewater',
Piedmont, and the V alley. The Southsid g
already has its. and most excellent one,
located at Farmvilte; but we see its Trus-
tees are asking for an appropriation from
the legislature of an amount of money
only cons istent with thu view that there
is to be no other normal school in the
Site. This view Is erroneous and che
pr 50 of the different sections should cor
rect it noac, and set forth to the legislature
the claims of their loo alities as we'll as the
necessity of adhering to the plan as origin
ally contemplated. The percentage of
Ing with marked rapidlty. In the years
1883 and 1884 the number of white male
teachers decreased per cent, while the
number of female teachers increased 70
per cent. 1t is above all things impor tant
that this rapid increase should consist
AS far as possible of teachers educated to
their profession through Normal schools.
That at Farmville we'll illustrates
the eagerness for such education, having
over $50 pupils before it was a year old.
The Constitution looks upon them as a
part OF the general public school system,
and while it says the General Assembly
mag establish agricultural and graded
schools, says, it ''shaU establish, as soon as
practicable, normal schools, Being part
IF the general system they should he dis
tributed in the different divisions of the
State. Their presence would increase the
interest in the system in each quarter they
are located in, and besides that, make them
easy and cheap of access to tho pupils.
AS for the school for theValley section,
Staunton is both abba and willing to sup
ply handsome building and grounds
the Methodist Institute on Main Street,
with few thousand spent by us in altera.
tion-for the school, free of COST 1t Is
remunerative expenditure seeing that
from such an Intelligent section as the
Valley of Virginia 1t would bring from
five to six hundred pupils deslrous of be-
coming teachers, who would make their
homes with our families. It is not how
ever so much to attract attention to the
Importance Of Staunton as the location
for one, that we write. as it is to ask the
interest of our contemporaries in other sec
lions in the enforcement of general dis
tribution of these schools, instead of an
choring the system to one spot by the ex-
penditure of dlsproportionate amount of
money there.
