A Retrospect and a w elcome.

The presence with us as citizen, Of B. F.
Mailman, Esq, late Of Augusta ounty. recalls
the pleasant fact that 1t was on his estate near
Middlebrook. that the Virginia Collegiate In.

our older citizens that this Institute removed
from Augusta to Salem, in 1877, and was re-
chartered In 1853. as Roanoke college. One OF
the buildings Of the old institute Is still stand
ing On Main street. and we trust that the au.
thOrities of the college will have 1t perpetuated
by the Photographic art as an interesting relic
for its fine library hall.
Mr.. Haiiman was warm friend of the Insti-
tute, giving 1t ten acres of his lands and other
wise aiding by intelligent and liberal interest
in promoting its prosperity in its first location
where, by the way, our worthy townsman, DIR.
Wells, who has since gained distinction in his
vocation as teacher and otherwise, was partly
educated. Mr.. Mailman was one the original
trustees in the incorporation Of Roanoke col.

Of the college, and trust that he will live long
to witness Its increasing influence and pros

RefOrmatOry Association,


Col. Alexander Hogeland, of Nebraska, Presi-
Boys and Girls. has been in the city several
days for the purpose of establishing reformato.
~ work among young men who ,are living
in idleness with disolute habits. Saturday
afternoon and during the day Monday he made
public addresses at the courthouse. He spoke
at two ofthe churches Sunday. and Monday
night at the Young Mems Christian Associa-
ton rooms. His long connection with the in
stitution he represents and experience in turn
ing hundreds OF young men from evil ways to
good and Industrious habits, and the necessity
for reformatory homes in cities and towns and
lthe good thus accomplished are the principal
features Of his theme.
At the meeting of the \. M. G. A., Capt. Jas.
N. Mcfarland presided, and ]. Il. Dreschler
was Secretary. After the address of Col, Hoge.
land, Judge Grattan and Rev. DR.. Nelson were
requested to present their views, which they
did. The first said there was evident need of
reformatory influences for many of the young,
but there would be much difficulty in estab-
fishing plan as contemplated In the remarks
Of Col. HOgeland by securing farm home till
other homes could be found for them. Judge
Grattan stated many OF the difficulties which
surrounded the question here, but thought an
association might be formed for the disso-
Lutte and idle youth and procure homes for
them.
DIR. Nelson saw the difficulties as they were
pointed out by Judge Grattan in establishing
an expensive system. but something should
be done and he would contribute in every way
he could to the work.
1t was finally agreed that a committee con-
sissing Of y. N. Mcfarland. ]. H. Dreschler. E.
T. Jessup and ] L. Templeton. should take the
matter in hand and see what could be done.
The committee was in session yesterday. and
selected twenty four persons equally divided
between ladies and gentlemen. who will as
semble at an early day and form an organiza.
ton for obtaining homes for boys and girls.
Five applications from Augusta farmers are
now on file requesting to be furnished with
children to whom good homes will be given.
Col. Hoggland leaves for home this morning.
He expresses himself as much pleased with
his reception here and will take special inter-
terest in the work in this locality.

Theofficers chosen will not falter in constant

Mr.. Gait. the President. has considered 1t well
and carefully and in all its bearings. The
charter will authorize the company to proceed
with $4,000 paid In. but 1t Is proposed to make
1t strong and effective in the fullest sense. and,
to that end. 1t can be increased to $500 900. The
interests it is to control and build up are now

Elsewhere the interested reader will find a
summary of Intelligence of the condition Of
weather and crops in several parts of Virginia
as well as of wheat in the Western States. IN
all We see no change in tie situation as it has
been weekly presented In the SPECTATOR for
several weeks. respecting the conclusion
reached as to the wheat crop.
In Augusta and adjoining counties, during
the fifteen days before harvest, there was some
Improvement from the backward condition of
the growing wheat ard grass as they generally
appeared from April till that time. From very
full enquiries made of farmers from all pests
of Augusta county Monday last (Court-day)
the conclusions expressed several weeks ago.
that If the average should be three .fourths of a
crop. we would do we'll. Some observing
farmers think now it Will not be that much :.
Here and there, there is q full crop and in
other localities not over halfa one In Rock.
ingham and Rockbridge, the percentage of
production. we think, is greater than In Au.
gusta. From personal observation as we'll as
from enquiry the Fulcoster grain has produced
the most satisfactory results. Harvest COM
menced last week in this section of theValley
and will be mostly over during this week -
hay making as usual crowding with corn the
over-taxed time of the farmer.
The Government report to June estimates
lower percentage of yield of wheat than the
same authority announced in May, but not as
low as generally anticipated. The sequel
showed that both sellers and buyers at Chi
cago. as.well as other large grain centers, lost
confidence in their own theories and sudden
fluctuations resulted.
Baltimore is the earliest and largest receiver
of new southern wheat, and the lower Kappa
hammock river counties of Virginia the first in
market. AS announced last week. Virginia
new wheat was sold in Baltimore on the 18th.

years. When he first saw the animal he was
some distance from him, but being armed
with Winchester. he fired at the bear and
wounded him. This slight wound Infatuated
the animal very much. and he reared upon
his hind feet and started for his enemy. Ed.
stood his ground like one out of thousand
would have done, and as the bear approached
he gave him the full benefit of the contents OF
the contents of seven Winchester cartridges,
No. A. Six Of the shots did not check the
bears progress. and when the seventh one
was fired the bear was standing erect not more
than foot from the muzzle of the gun. This
load fired between the clashing teeth and into
his frothlng mouth did the work. When the
smoke died away a 600 pound bear laid at the
feet of the youthful but brave hunter.-Hi0h-

The Heated Term.

The past few days may properly be termed
heated term, for the thermometer stood at go on
Sunday and Monday at the warmest part of
the day. and at IS on yesterday. Usually the
warmest weather succeeds the longest days.
but, so far this year, the warmestwas during the
longest days. When the earth gets heated
up, there may be still warmer weather. We
think that this intensely warm weather of the
past several days was caused by the depressions
which passed from the West to the East North
of this latitude during the past week and caus-
ed the destructive storms in the West, which
had the effect of causing the warm air of the
extreme South to travel North to fill the par
tial vacuums thus occasioned, in the same
manner in which the weather was made SO
comparatively mild during the past winter by
the storms from the Northwest passing out
of the st. Lawrence Valley instead Of passing
down the Mississippi Valley. The destructive
cyclones aud tornadoes and thunder storms
are caused by heated air. sustaining moisture,
coming in contact with cold air currents.
