To he Editor Of ne Dispatch;
have no doubt that this unfortunate
gentleman was laboring under u diseased
brain when he wrote his will. He expect
ed death in some form-when, how, OF
where he knew not. Had ho then con-
templated suicide he would probably have
committed the rash act sooner. The
disease on his brain was making slow but
sure progress. His gioomiest hours were
doubtless when he was alone at night.
Some years ago knew OF case where
this disease was growing for nearly TWO
years, the man mean while attending regu-
larly to his business. He did not commit
suicide, but death resulted from disease
of the brain. "a proven by post
morton. IT was unfortunate that Mr.
Griffin had no roommate. gloomy
people should be a. little alono
as possible. especially at night. Had
this rash act been postponed 1t would,
in my opinion, have been some day accom-
plishsd. perhaps after marriage. when
would have been sadder than now. MIR.
Grifin was not responsible for this act,
feel very sure. The excitement incident
10 the preparation for change OF bis as-
sociations had in some way not unnaturaiIy

STATE NORMAL SCHOOL.
No Truth In the Recently-Reported Prac-
teal Joke at this Institution.


Verv recently an item was brought to
the Dispafch Office by well-known young
businessman of this city, representing
that as the result OF a practical joke played
upon three of the pupils of the state Nor
NAL School of Virginia. at farmvllle. all
were badly scared, and one was made so
i'll that she was confined to her bed. A day
afterwards comment was made upon the
affair in an editorial in this paper. by the
next mail our Farmville correspondent re-
ported that the story was wholly untrue
that there had been no such occurrence at
the school, and that there are no such
pbysicians in Farmville as the two men,
toned as having attended the patients.
This letter we referred to our informant
(whose standing III this community is
high). who answered that he very much
regretted the trouble that he received tho
information in letter from one OF the pu-
pills of the school, who requested its pub
fication. and that he would be glad 10
make any amends in his power.
This we transmitted to our farmvllle
correspondent, with the request for him to
see the principal of the school and ask
what further steps we should take: The
reply came yesterday morning, and IS that
"in Justice to the school the Dispatch
should state that the publication of the
paragraph was due TO a misapprehension
on the part of the Dispatcfs informant.
and that no serious joke has been played.
nor has any injury whatever resulted from
any joke here"
