southeast direction, and about half way
between this place and Greenville the hail
poured its heaviest, completely hammer

divesting the trees of their leaves. AT

What Page Mccarthy Thinks of a
Staunton Democratic Boss.


The last number of the Reformaer, an
able Democratic paper, published in Rich
mond, by Capt. Page Mccarthy, has tie
following ineisive paragraph about a
Staunton Boss and the methods employed
to accomplish certain ends. The refer
ence is easily understood, and the sting of
the thrust appreciated
There are some ugly rumors a1oat, con-
corning ring in Staunton organized under
certain influences to control certain offices.
A short time ago most competent and
worthy officer was turned out. and at that
time we refrained from publishing the
authentic story of the transaction. If such
a thing occurs again, however. the Re
former will be we'll Informed of all the
crookedness and will give the people of
the state little treatise on ''Bossism' in
the Democratic party that will be read I'M
til it calls popular Indignation down on the
guilty individuals. Are we to destroy the
infamous Malone boards merely to
hand over the institutions of the State for
the use of bosses and deputy bosses
lot quite yet, and DON'T fail to make a
note of it.
Of course, it is impossible for a Demo.
cratic editor TO strike at the crookedness
in his own party, without trying to ease
the rebuke by a fling at Malone" but
this may be tolerated. if it is necessary to
get at the true inwardness of Democratic
tricks and expose the manipulations of
Democratic bosses. When the Captain
understands the Chinese methods of the
situation, he will be better equipped for
the mission of Reformer in this local
ity.

A colored man named John Warrick
was found dead on the track of the Shen-

prevalent, as it is thought he had con-

other colored men were seen with him the
evening before his body was found, but no
arrests had been made at last accounts.

city government. Two democratic tickets
for city offices at the election to occur on
the 9th instant will be the result. The
indications are that the independent demo
Gratis will carry the city. Every old office
holder is in danger, and the excitement
consequent upon the probable loss of place
has created the greatest confusion among
that class. The fight between the indie
pendents and workingmen on one side and
the beurbons on the other promises to be
very bitter.' And this is the feeling all
over the State. The arbitrary rings which
have been ruling the cities and State with
an iron hand cannot always hold the peo-
pie in slavery.

Closing of Spring Hill School.

On Tuesday. the 18th inst, it was the pleas
ure of the writer to be present at the closing
exercises of Spring Hill Grad ed school, This
school, which has been managed for the past
three years by Prof. Jacob Michael and Miss
G. Anna Trout, ranks among the first of the

brought forth expressions of surprise from all.
This little class was examined on the board for
nearly an hour-passing through vulgar and
decimal fractions. They were worked rapidly
and exhaustively and yet there was not ques-

this class had begun arithmetic this session.

After dinner the school was again called to
order and the exercises concluded. Messrs.
East, Clinedinst, Good, and supt. Roller gave
