The twentieth quadrennial session of the
General Conference of the United Brethren
church, began in Y ork, Pa, yesterday. 1t
numbers about $50 delegates. This is the
highest body of the church and examines
the administration of each annual confer
ence, prescribes their boundaries, prescribes
the episcopal districts and assigns the bish-
ops, &c. Its most important work at this
session will be the ratification of the new
constitution, which has been endorsed by
the required two-thirds majority of the de
nomination. and which provides for lay del
egates in the General Conference, and re-
moves the ''vexed" article prohibiting con.
nection with secret societies. There will
be a minority of about twenty in the Gen.
eral Conference opposed to these changes
and who will take their position on the
claim that the appointment Of a Commits
sion by the last General Conference was
an illegal proceedings. The delegates from
the Virginia Conference are Revs. j. w
Howe, J. w. Holt, G. 2. Dyche and A. P

fulfill the possibilities which Friday night S
concert shows are within its reach.
Ii the Choral Society viii take u sugges-
ton from one who has owed musical or
CARNATIONS much for pleasure derived
from them for more than a score Of years
it will adopt some rules that will work well
il tried-positively prohibit all encores
fix the time Of the concert arbitrarily at
two hours; have the supreme control OF all
matters connected with the concert after
it has begun, lodged in the hands of one
man; limit all solo work-vocal and instrtl-
mental-Snd make the work of the chorus
the prominent feature, instead Of only four
choruses out of fifteen numbers, as was the
case Friday night.
Since the concert of Friday, the Choral
Society, at it's regular meeting, has adopted
a plan for the future which, we are sure,
will meet the approval Of the public. The
price of an Honorary Membership is only So.
During the season which extends from Sep
TENDER 1st to June 1st the Society will give
three grand entertainments, each of which
will consist of an opera OF an oratorio, and
will give a private dress rehearsal. To all
Of these, the certificate of Honorary Mem
bership entities the holder to admission.
We trust the public of Staunton will give a
generous support to this plan and put the
Choral Society on sure foundation.

Staunron Men With Public Amusements

Staunton has contributed quite literally
to travelling amusements. Young Willie
2. Schmid, formerly First Clarinet of the
Stonewall Brigade Band, whose return from
the South we noticed lately, went through
every Southern States with the circus he
started from Staunton WITH and then PLAYED
with minstrel company for some months
MI. Armadale Root, son of MI. E. NJ.
Root of this city, is now in Michigan
travelling with Zera Semon, the magician,
as his advance agent, a position he has filled
successfully for a long time. He has been
through Canada, the Northern States. and
the West. The acrobat with Thompson S Cir
Gus which recently showed here and is now
playing at stations on the G. & O. road
west of here, is Bob Fifer, aged eighteen,
a Staunton boy and son Of the late Benz. f.
Fifer. The Allegheny Sentinel says of him,
that GAS a contortionist, ventriloouist,
tumbler and dancer, we have rarely seen
him equalled and never eXcelled.n Robert
Fifer formerly ran circus with the MAYS
boys, who were also from here, and later
was playing at a theatre in Richmond.
One Of the cold time7 boys who went off
with circus was Jim Bryan, who made
the tour with RObinson's circus years ago,
and can give the youngsters who have any
idea OF doing the same things, many points
about the hardships of the life.

1t is now said that Samuel Spencer, for

The Fincastle Herald says that the con-

An Excellent PAPER.

The first number of the Highland Recor-
der, revived by MI. J. j. Straughan, Of
Staunton, is a good specimen of a first-class
county paper. It's editorials are clear; it's
general news shows care, and it's local de-
partment shows activity in news gathering.
If our neighboring county of Highland does
not give Liberal support to so good a paper,
MI. Straughn may fairly conclude that it
is not ready to support any paper at all.
Our Staunton merchants should not for
Get. in their own interest, that the Recorder
is revived, and that it is an excellent vehicle
through which to reach the Highland trade.
