Deafis OF Miss Mary Helen Ferguson.

We are sorry to announce the death of Miss
Mary Helen Ferguson, who died, of maarial
fever in cksonvilie, Florida, on the 18th inst,
at the age of 25 years. She visited that land of
flowers some mouths since with her devoted
friends Misses Bertha Won Hillern and Maria
]. G. Beckett, the artists, wh visited That State
for the purpose of sketching and painting
some of its most lovely scenery.
Miss Ferguson was native of Norfolk in
this State, and was daughter of whom Vir-
ginfa may well be proud, for she possessed fine
literary talents, and her character was as
lovely as her genius was bright, and her taste
delicate and refined. In years past, when
.sAs the sweet moon on the horizons verge
The maid was on the eve of womanhood'-
when her young genius was just beginning to
plume its wings for the higher flights it after
wards attained she contributed number of
articles both in verse and prose, to the SPEC
TAToR, which were much enjoyed by its read
ers-some of them translations OF the poetry
of the German poet, Heine.
We publish in this issue just, modest, sin
cere, and unaffected tribute to her merits, con-
tributed by one of her intimate female friends,
who is not only a skillful artist in sketching
scenery with the brush, but. as the article
shows, is also skiiiful in sketching character

The Anarchists were very few in num-
Der in this country two years age. 1t is
estimated that there were not more than
a hundred and fifty in Chicugo and not
more than two or three hundred in New
York. In each large city there may have
been a few. Since they are being appre-
hended and punished the number will dim
inish, and with score of scaffold excel
tions in Chicago the red flag fiends would
disappear altogether. When an organised
body of men has the shadow of truth or
justice ON its side it is NO easy matter for
the community to suppress that organisa-
tion., But when men band themselves to-
gether for the avowed purpose of setting at
naught the law and overturning society,
then the law backed by public opinion, can
make speedy progress in the work of ami
hilation. -Richmond State.

BASS AND THEIR HABITs-sPARE THEM IN
MAY AND JUNE.-A gentlemen whose home is
| on the Eastern side of the county sends us a
letter which touches upon subject of impor-
lance to the people of the county. We hope the
extracts made from it will be read and the ad-
vice given by him adhered to-
II send you the following facts in regard to
the habits of the bass. as the result of several
years observation, and that you may call the
of catching them during the months OF May
and June. The bass begin to spawn about the
first Of May, first throwing up circular or
oval-shaped bed of gravel and coarse sand, up
on which it deposits its eggs. to the number of
many thousands. After spawning, the fish re-
main near their nest, as you might call it, and
guard their eggs with the utmost Gre pursu
ing and running off any other species of fish
that might chance to come near. lido not know
how long it takes the eggs to hatch, nor how
long the parent fish looks after the young, but.
pI esume, until they can pretty well care for
themselves. The fish are very easily caught
whilst guarding their spawn, as the fisherman
has only to bait his hook and drop it in the
nest and then hide h1mseifuntil the fish hooks
itself This is not sport, in its true sense. but
simply wholesale destruction, as the spawn is
greediiy devoured by other species of fish as
soon the faithful guardian is taken away
The above mode of fishing is the one by which
the large catch of bass. mentioned in one of the
Stauuton papers lately, was effected.
Many of the Northern States have laws pro-
hibiting the catching of bass during what is
known as the close season from LIST of May to LIST
OF July and think it would be well if we had
the same law in Virginia. Our Valley streams
have only been stocked with bass in the last
six or eight years, and if we want them to in
crease and furnish our fishermen with good
sport in the future, must let them alone
during May and June. Back creek is favorite
spawning ground, on account of the deep pools
and sandy bottom, there being little or no mud.
and the landowners Will hereafter most ear
nestly protest against any fish being caught
during the close season spoken of above"

DEATH OF CHARLES J. BRAwLEY, OF ROCK
BRIpGE-The Lexington papers for some days
previous noted the critical illness of Charles j.
Brawley, Esq, who died at his late residence
in Rockbridge county Thursday. of last
week. of heart disease. For more than
thirty years he had been an active and
prosperous citizen, and held in high es.
TEEN. For that time he was Superintendent of
the Poor the farm, and the properly of the
county assigned to such purposes He was an
enlightened and skillful farmer and made the
county homestead productive and remunera-
tive His acquaintance and associations were
extensive, blending courtesy and generous
dealings all along the pathway of life, during
which he displayed public spirit and enlight-
ened zeal in behalf of every measure which
promoted the public welfare. Retiring few
years since from the pubic service TO his farm
where he enjoyed a fine competency, the close
of life was there spent amid rural scenes
his own hand and his genius had delighted to
adorn.
