STRICKEN WITH PARALYSIS.-On Fri
day last while Jacob 2. Efinger, ESQ.,. OF
Harriso aburg, was arguing case before
the Supreme Court, now sitting in this
place, and in which'he is one of the par
ties litigant. he was stricken with paraly-
sis, and was in the act Of falling, when he
was caught, and after few minutes was
conveyed to the Virginia Hotel Il, chair.
supported by two colored men. He had
been on bis feet but few moments when
he complained of feeling badly. and al
most instantly he was FRUSTRATED. His
speech WAS not affected, but the limbs on
one side were rendered helpless. His wife
was telegraphed for and arrived on Fri
day evening, and Mr.. Efiinger was con-
veyed to his home on Saturday morning.
The case in which he was engaged involves
the Bryan property near Harrisonburg,
which has been in the courts for twelve
or fifteen years. 1t was before the Su.
preme Court of the United States, where
Mr.. Effinger appeared as his own coun-
sci, and by which decision was rendered
on the point considered in his favor, re-
versing the State Courts, both Circuit and
Supreme. Mr.. Efiinger was in fine spirits
over this success, and was conversing with
an old acquaintance in very lively strain
just before going into the court room. We
have not heard as to his condition since
he arrived In Harrisonburg. Geo. w.
Berlin, ESQ.,, of The Rockingham bar, con-
tinued the argument for Mr.. Effinger. af-
ter the latter was Frustrated

OPERA HOUSE O-NIGHT.-Commen enc
ing this Thursday evening. the Zera Semon
and Royal Marionettes begin three
nights engagement at the Opera House
The show is said to be one of the funniest
on the road. They give the comical panto-
mime Humpty Dumpty Besides the show
one hundred valuable presents will be
given away at each entertainment. The
Augusta Chronicle says of Semon's recent
appearance in Augusta.
Notwithstanding the very disagreable
weather, a large crowd collected at the
Masonic Theatre last evening to witness
the performance of Prof. Zera SemOn
tiOn of some of the professors tricks,
which were truly wonderful. Then came
the royal marionetteS, something that has
never before seen IN Augusta. There
were seven figures representing MINISTRIES
with moving limbs and mouths. The
movements of the figures were very like.
and their antics ELECTED much applause.
After the minstrel performance skeleton
was exhibited, the movements of which
were curious. Its arms and legs would
leave the body and contract into many
varied shapes dancing around the stage
and then suddenly jump into their respec
tive places on the body. Other perform
| ances of varied characters were given,
after which number of handsome prizes
We're given out.
The performance was the finest of the
Kind ever witnessed in Augusta, and will
undoubtedly draw crowded houses each
night. u

popular and successful young lawyers
Geo, M. Harrison and II. St. Geo. Tucker
have formed a partnership to practice
their profession in the courts of Augusta
and adjoining counties, the Supreme Court
Of the State, and in the Federal Court at
Harrisonburg. They are young men of
ability. industry and close application to
business, and indeed possess all the ele-

mend them to those who may be so unfor-
tunate as to get entangled in the meshes
of the law, as safe counselors and efficient
business men.

The Cluverills Case.

|
Before the Supreme Court sitting in this
place, the counsel for Thomas j. Culver
JUS, the convicted murderer of Fannie
Lillian Madison, on Thursday last pre-
! sented petition for rehearing. The
petition Is confined entirely to the law
points. The greatest stress is laid upon
the point that the Hastings Court had no
authority to extend the term from one
month to the other. Upon this pc ut the
petition presents twenty-fve pages Of legal
cap paper
There was no argument upon the pre-
sentation of the petition. The presenta
ton is an ec parte affair. If rehearng
Is granted the Attorney General and Mr..
Meredith will file an answer to the petit
ton. and then argument will follow. II
the court refuses to grant rehearing the
decision of the Supreme Court will be GER
tilted down to the Hastings Court, and the
judge Of that court will have to resentence
the prisoner. 1t is thought that the court
will be ready on the first opinion day next
Thursday to render decision upon the
petition for rehearing. If the opinion is
adverse to the prisoner he will doubtless
be resentenced some time in October, or
at the November term of the Hastings
Court. In Virginia no person can be ex-
ecuted under thirty days after sentence is
passed.
MARRIED.-Miss Lucy Brown, daugh-
ter of the late VIM. G.. Brown, of this

Rev. w. Settlemeyer, pastor OF the church
named officiating. The interesting cere-
mony was witnessed oy large number of
friends of the contracting parties, who.
upon its close. proceeded to Winchester
where few days were to be spent among
friends and relatives of the bride. From
there the young couple are to proceed to
Romney, w. Va, where they will make
their future home, Mr.. Ruhl being pop
ular business man in that place. Both |
parties.are well known and popular in this |
city, and carry with them the hearty |
wishes of numerous friends for perfect hap
piness and full success in their new rela- !
lions.

cOlOreQ employee OF tne INSTITUTION, ana
Elmira Lewis, of Staunton, were married
in one of the colored churches in this
city on Thursday evening last. Quite a
number of the officers. teachers and en-
ployees were present. The bride and her
attendant were both handsomely dressed ;
the ceremony was performed in very
creditable manner, and the wedding march
by the colored organist was well rendered.
A handsome bridal present from officers,
teachers and employees of the Institution,
attested their kindly interest in the well
fare of the groom.
We direct attention to the advertise
ment of Capt. j. n Qp;e, who desires to
sell his farm two miles north of Staunton.
This is well located estate. and is capable
of high state of cultivation. AT one
time it was considered one Of the best
farms in the county, but it has not recov-
cred entirely from the war period. Agood
farmer would find it splendid Investment,
out of which money could be made in the
Improvement of the land as well as from
the crops, as it can be purchased on very
reasonable terms. Capt. Opie has deter
mined to leaye Virginia and remove to one
of the Pacific States to practice law.
We had the pleasure of call on Satur-
day last, from Rev. A. w. Moore, editor
and proprietor of The Centenary, monthly
publication of wide scope and useful de-
sign, issued at Lancaster, S. g.. for 81 pei
annum. The plan Of the publication is
novel, embracing several departments with
a special editor for each, treating OF live
subjects the discussion of which cannot
but have Statutory effect and exert
beneficeDt influence in forming healthy
public sentiment. Mr.. Moore is canvass.
ing for subscribers, and we commend the
Centenary to this community as 4 monthly
really deserving patronage, especially as
the price is very moderate.

LETT.-We regret to learn that Mrs. Lima
McCue Sublett, wife of Mr. Walter S.
Sublett, of Richmond, and daughter of
Judge John H. McCue, of this place, died
suddenly at her home in Richmond, on
the morning of the 18th of Sept, aged 80
years. Mrs. Sublett had been on visit to
her parents, and lsfs Staunton about a
week ago the picture of good health, al
though somewhat complaining The first
intimation of her illness was received on
Tuesday evening last through telegram
requesting the presence of some one of
the family. Hvr mother, Mrs. Judge Nc
Cu', intended to leave for Richmond on
the Wednesday morning train, but while
at breakfast another telegram was re-
ceived announcing the death of Mrs. Sub
lett at 6 O'Clock yesterday morning. 1t is
Il sad blow to the devoted father and
mother and sisters and brothers. Mrs. SUBJ
lett was great favorite in Staunton in
her girlhood days, and carried with her
through life the warmest friendships and
attachments of her many friends in this
place. We sincerely sympathize with the
friends and relatives of the deceased In
this sad dispensation. She leaves a hus-
and and two little children, aged four
and six years, to mourn the loss Of true
wife and tender mother.
GRAHAM II. HARRIs.-We mentioned
last week the appointment Of Graham H.
Harris, as assistant U. S. Attorney for he
District of Chicago. and now avail of the
mention Of this fact. to commend the selec-
tion AS one emlnsntly proper. Mr.. Harris
is young man Of decided talent. and has
already won high position among lawyers
of the Empire City of the West. His. en-
ergy, pluck and independence have drawn
around him friends numbering some of the
most prominent and distinguished citizens
of that community. His genial DISPOSE
tion and high sense of honor his quick
comprehension of the intricacles of the
law his manly bearing and promptness in
businessmatters have laid for him the
foundation of a useful and influential
career if life is spared him. Although diff
fering with him politically. we can appre-
ciate his merits and bear test imOny to his
many good qualities. He is native Of
Harrisonburg. the eldest son of Judge Jno.
T. Harris, and nephew of Rev. w. A.
Harris, principal of Wesleyan Female In
stitute. Neither the place Of his nativity
nor his family and friends need have any
fear that he will not bear himself as true
man should, and reflect seredit upon the
appointment which has recently been
