Mrs. Virginia Waddell, wife of Hon. Jo-
seph Addison Waddell, of Staunton, died in
that city June 30th, in the list year of her
age. She was a niece of the eminent DIR.
Archibald Alexander The Valley Virgin
ian PAYS the following just tribute to the
memory of the deceased--a lady whom it
was our privilege to know we'll in war times :;
"She married Joseph Addison Waddell
about 40 years ago, and their lives have
flown along in peaceful and undisturbed
current. until death hath parted them.
They have never mad any children, and
therefore have lived nearer to each other
than married couples ordinarily do, their
home affections and lives being undisturbed
bv influences which, in the ordinary course
of things, divide the home life into many
varied parts And yet their lives have been
so remarkably free from selfShness as to at
tract the attention of all who have known
them. They have been father and mother
to many children, and have given unstint-
edly of their means, for the promotion of
the highest good of others. There are many
who mourn the taking away of Mrs. Vir-
ginia Waddell, WHO have known her as a
good woman, a generous friend and kind
hearted neighbOr TO those to whom she
has been not only friend, but as well a
counselor and guide, amid the cares and
troubles of life. her loss will be sOrely felt
Quiet, simple and unostentatious in her
mode of life. she selected with rare judg-
meut and discrimination worthy objects,
where she might give of her means, a God
had blessed her. The fragrance of such a
life is the distilation of a noble nature, re
fined and elevated by Gods truth and
Christian graces. Its influence will be felt
long after the mortal remains have crumbled
into dust, aGd if those who have seen and
known the truth of her life, will but follow
her bright example and noble teachings );
they will, in the general resurrection, be re-
united to their friend, who did them only
good, served faithfully in all the walks Of
life. and won for herself Grown of right
eousuess, and the approval, well done,
good and faithful servant"

the first fall and first blood, but his mode
Of fighting was strategic rather than direct.

his antagonist to come and fight like a
man. haunting him on his lodging tactics.

sullivan would be the winner After the
secenty.ffth round, though Kilrain was
toeing the scratch, his second threw up the
sponge to save him further punishment

sons for his defect-over training, improper
training, the heat, etc, Sullivan was plain
ly in much better condition. The Baltimore
bruiser-or more apparently, bruisee-was
