The librarians records show that
during the year ZIG persons have
availed themselves to greater or
less extent of the privileges of the
circulating department, the total
issues of books amounting to 1880.
Your committee intended to present
herewith a statement showing the
proportion of books of the different
classes which have been drawn out
during the year, but owing to the
manner in which the accounts have
been kept it was found impractic-
able to do so without an unreason-
able expenditure of time and
trouble. Such record, even if
complete, would give an imperfect
idea of the work accomplished, in
somuch as large portion of the
best service of the library to its
members is rendered through the
medium of the reading room and
reference department. The latter
consists of nearly five hundred and
fifty volumes exclusive of the Cart
wright Collection already described,
and considering the disadvantages
under which it has been got together
and the limited means at our COM
mand, may be regarded as very
creditable collection.
The four thousand books consti-
tuting the library at the present time
are distributed among the different
classes as follows:-

Last night about ii O'Clock DR..
Frank Spencer, prominent physician
Of this city, died at his home, on Elm
avenue, after protracted illness with
cancer Of the mouth. His sulferings
were intense, and his death was ex-
pected long before it occurred. DR..
Spencer was ffty-fye years Of age. He
was native Of Maryland, and
served through the late war as surgeon
Of one Of the Maryland regiments.
At the close Of the war he located in
Lynchburg, and has resided here ever
since. He married Miss Bailey, daugh-
ter Of ex-CGuncilman John II. Bailey,
and is survived by his wife and several
children. DR.. Spencer had been for
some years member of the Board Of
Health, and was reelected by the new
Council three weeks ago.
Last night at a late hour Mr.. Willie
Davies, well-known and popular
young dry-goods clerk, was discovered
by policeman near the public build
ing excavation in an effort to take his
own life by inhaling chloroform. He
was at once taken to a physicians Of

the young man had attempted suicide.

Industrial Schools

The Pennsylvania teachers, in their
convention at Harrisburg the other
day, discussed the subject of industrial
education, and reached the conclusion
that the public schools were turning
out too many professional men. A
Philadelphia contemporary, comment
on this, says:
THE subject Of industrial education
is live one, and the time is close at
hand when industrial schools will BE q
part Of or public-schOol system. At
the same time it must be understood
that whenever the system of industrial
education is adopted, IN order to make
it successful. the training Of the youth
must be in the hands of those who have
practical knowledge of what they at
tempt to teach"
1t is only question Of time when
every large city must have its indus
trial schools, but it is = question with
many whether industrial education
should be made part Of the public
school system. 1t would be better
to incorporate it upon the public
school system than not to have it
at all but in order to make it
entirely successful it should be con-
trOlled and in large measure supported
by private enterprise. While, as we
have heretofore stated, we would no
ignore State or municipal aid to an in
dustrial school in Richmond, we would
have the school managed by men who
have practical knowledge of what is
attempted to be reached and of what
The industrial fields demand in the
matter of training youth.

The Supreme Bench.

The age at which the justices of the
Supreme Court Of the United States
may retire upon pension for life is
seventy. MIR. Justice BRADLEY is al.
ready seventy; Chief Justice WAITE,
Mr.. Justice FIELD, and Mr.. Justice
MILLER will become seventy next
year. SO that if these justices all re.
tire Mr.. CLEVELAND will have four VA
cancies TO fill. As it is not to be pre-
sumed for moment that any Demo-
cratic .owyer would countenance
violations Of the eleventh amend
ment 20 the Federal Constitution.
there is at least a possibility that the
Supreme bench will be very much i'm
proved before long. If Mr.. Justice
FIELD retires, We shall be free. He
was appointed by Mr.. LINCOLN. His
Democratic principles do not enable
him to see that the States arc by the
Constitution not liable to such suits A.

recently decided could DO brought

PETERSBURG AND VICINITY.

Affairs ut Dinwi eddie Courthouse Puryear's
Case Before the Grand JurT-Dea Of an
cI.Confederate-POIitic
| Correspondence ofthe Richmond Dispatch.
PETERSBURG, July 81, 1885.
There was large attendance at Din
widdie Courthouse yesterday, the regu-
lar court-day, it having been announced
that Holmes Puryear, the alleged
wife-murderer, would then be arraigned
for trial, with the privilege of selecting
the court in which his case should be
heard. But the crowd was disap-
pointed. Puryear did not put in his
appearance. This morning, howcye.,
Sheriff Gillian, at an early hour, took
Puryear out Of our city Jail, and having
secured a covered conveyance, carried
him out to the courthouse. Several
guards were in attendance to protect
the prisoner.
Yesterday the court was engaged in
trying the case of James Branch, who
is charged with horse-stealing. The
trial consumed the whole day, and
finally had to be adjourned over until
this morning, the testimony of witnesses
being very voluminous. The court
also had on trial to-day an aged white
man named Ethelbert BriStow. Bris-
tow, before Puryear'S removal, was
confined in the same cell with the al
legged murderer. He is charged with
arson, having set fire in broad day, so
it is charged, to a house belonging to
Mr.. William Peterborough. NO de-
cision had been reached in this case at
the time this letter was closed.
The afternoon train from the South
brought here to-day for intcrment in
Blandiord cemetery the remains Of the
late Colonel Joseph G. Lockhart. of
Northampton county, n. c. Colonel
Lockhart was a graduate Of the Uni
yersity Of Virginia, and for many years
was connected with the press Of North
Carolina. lie was a gallant Confcd-
crate soldier, distinguished for bravery.
He had many sincere friends in this
city.
1t is announced that the friends Of
Joseph p. Evans (colorcd). the indie
pendent candidate for Congress in this !
district last fall, will hold meeting Oh |
Thursday evening Of this week to con-
slider what their course shall be in the
coming canvass, which party they will
support, and whether they will nomi-
nate candidates for the Senate and
House of Delegates. There are some
who believe in maintaining and assert
ing an Independent attitude. but the
mass of the party, it is thought, has
returned to the old Republican fold.
The weather has been extremely hot
for the past several days, and the mer-
curry has ranged up about the hundreds.

BARRIsoNBURG VA, July 20.
The Democrats Of Rockingham met
in mass-meeting in the courthouse here
to-day for the purpose of selecting del
egates to the Gubernatorial Convention
in Richmond on July 29th. A larger
meeting never assembled on a similar
occasion in our county, and the greatest
good feeling prevailed throughout. The
following is full list Of the delegates
and alternates selected: Delegates
J. c. Hellzel, II. V. Stga ger, G. r.

gates are uninstructed.
Delegates were also chosen for a
county convention TO nominate candi-
dates for the Legislature. The first
Saturday in September was fixed upon
as the time for holding the County Con-
vention. Speeches were made by Hon.
j. 7. Harris, DR.. j. Ii. MoiIett, Colo
mel q. b. Roller, II. V. Strayer, Win
field Liggett, Hon. G. b. Keezell, and
others, and the ball was put in motion
for a rouSing victory in Rockingham
this fall.
Colonel Reuben n. Harrison, a for.
mer representative in the Legislature
from this county, was buried yester-
day. He was seysnty-three years old.
Considerable excitement was created
here on Friday and Saturday ~ the ex-
huming of the body of 6. p. BrufIey.
who died on Monday Of last week from
what was supposed to be spoplexy.
The opinion was expressed by DR.. s.
IL. Moiiett that he had been poisoned
by an overdose Of morphia, but the
body was in such an advanced stage of
decomposition that an examination was
deemed inexpedient. The coroner's
jury rendered a verdict to the effect
that there was nothing before them to
Justify the supposition that the deceased
came to his death by poison.
Drought prevails in some portions
of this county to an alarming extent,
but rains are being reported.
The mercury is standing at IS degrees
here to-day. X.

The people Of this county met in
township assemblies on the 18th and
appointed delegates to the Convention.
The delegates 90 down with decided
preferences, but they are generally LETT
uninstructed. In some Of tn town
ships the Good Templar, are very
strong and active, and they express a
very decided desire that the Conven-
ton will put alocal-option plank in the
platform, and thus take the temperance
question out Of the canvass for Cow
ernor and leave it local matter.
A well-informed citizen from Per-
son county. y. c., says that there has
been revival of the proposal for the
extension Of the Sutherlin and Milton
railway to RoxbOro', and that it is
given out that if the people of the sec
ton concerned will 10 the grading and
put down the croSs-ties the Richmond
and Danyille company will put down
the iron and provide the equipments.
Mr.. James Coleman, worthy citi-
zen Of the Sharon neighborhood, did
good days work on Saturday, but did
not feel well on Sunday morning. and
after breakfast lay down again. \
short time thereafter it was found tina.
he had quietly breathed his last.
There was never so much good done
for the crops Of the planter and his hap
piness as was done by the recent rain.
Some of the tobacco, as the planter
says, had formed itself, and from that
good marketable article cannot be
made, but the prospect generally is
very good and enjoyable.
There was never so much interest
taken in church business in the county
as at present. 1t is not at all unusual
to find that one church has several
Sunday-school stations, and that the
same man (eyen from town may speak
to the several schools in one day and
receive pleasant attention. 1t is found,
too, that the churches are more ready
to combine and cooperate with each
other in the procurement of pastors
and the obtaining Of common adyan-
tages than was once known to be the
case. And it has been observed, too,
that along with the orator the newly !
turned-out preacher is listened to with |
attention. ALPHA.

To the Editor Of the Dispatch:

dark horses. Now, Mr.. Editor, | de-
sire 10 submit that fairness, Justice.
and good policy require that all nomi-
nations be closed at least after the
second ballot. 1t is not unfrequsntlv
the case that the friends of an aspirant
will hold him in reserve, trusting that
a hot rivalry between the candidates
first put in nomination, and whose
names have been most prominent be-
fore the public, may enable them to
spring their fayorite upon the Conven-
ton at an suspicious moment, and
thereby secure his nomination. If
1t is known that such a course will
be permitted by the Convention,
it will in all human probability result
IN great harm to our party, for the
friends Of the " dark horse or horses.
will invariably cast their votes for the
weaker candidates to prevent the nom
nation OF one of the stronger, thereby
protracting the proceedings of the Con-
yention and harassing and irritating
the feelings Of its members. Such a
condition of things might lead to the
success of a dark horse, but it would
not only not be fair sailing, but it
would create great deal Of bitterness.

would jeopardize the success Of our
ticket. If harmony is to characterize
the proceedings of our Convention, and
the garland Of success to crown our
