The New Pastor of linking Spring.

The Presbytery of Winchester held a
called meeting at Charles iowa, W. Va,
on the 8th inst, to hear the equest of Dr..
George w. Finley for dissolution of his
pastorate of Romney ard Springfield, w.
Va, churches and dismissal to Lexington
Presbytery. Dr.. Finley having made his
request, and the Commissioner from Tink-
ling Spring church and Commissioners
from the Romney and Springfield churches
having been heard, Rev. DR.. Hopkins offer
ed the following paper which was adopted !:
Rev. George w. Finley, D. D., came to the
Presbytery in 1868, when our Presbytery was
in critical condition. His labors, his pru-
dence and his Sanctifed skill have contributed
largely to both our unity and our progress;
while his fidelity, his tenderness and his abil-
ity as a minister have added much to the
strength of his present pastoral charge. He
has become endeared to the hearts of both this
Presbytery and our people. Now that he is
called to another field of labor and has re
quested Presbytery to dissolve his pastoral
relations with Romney and Springfield
churches which he has served for twenty-one
years with so much acceptance and satisfac-
ton, and the Presbytery having heard the
voice of these congregations in response to his
request, it is now
Rssoloed That the request of Rev. Geo. W,
Finley for the dissolution of his pastoral re-
lations with Romney and Springfield and for
his dismissal to Lexington PreSbytery is most
reluctantly granted, and that the Stated Clerk
be directed to furnish him with the necessary
certificate,

A Mechanical Curiosity.

$ 1.-THE Fast Mail,' given at the Opera
House Monday night, was series of me-
chanical curiosities strung ON dramatic
thread, decidedly the most remarkable and
successful ever seen here. We have never
seen the minute details so closely followed
in realism on the stage. The open river
effect in the steamboat scene was fully
equal to that famous moon rising scene in
Faust with which the American Opera
Company delighted the country some years
ago, and the explosion and wreck was ma
tural and startling. The triumph however
of mechanism was in the big freight en-
CINE and train that clanked and puffed
across the stage. Not detail-not even the
clanking of the coupling pins, or the click
ing Of the rails was omitted. The passage
Of the EAST Mail' however was failure,
from the breaking of the machinery and
caused great disappointment in front of the
curtain and some earnest profanity behind
the curtain. The scene of Niagara Falls
was beautiful-the zeal mist rising from the
water of the falls Icing made by a steam
boiler. For studied attention to every de-
tail, and strong illusion by means of ma
chiuery, no realistic dramatic effect has
ever been seen here OF, we should think, in
the United States, to approach the Fast
Mail -

Debate at the Y. M. e. A.

The first debate of the new society at the
Y. nj. G. A. Tuesday evening, was attend
ed by good audience, including a num-
Der of young ladies. The debate, by MI.
Garter Braxton in the Affirmative and Mr..
j. Lewis Bumgardner in the negative, on
Resolved that the Puritan has done more
for America than the Cavalier resulted
in some good speaking, and close call for
the Cavalier, he being only saved by an ''S
to - vote. Next Monday night, the own
ership of the railroads by the general gov
eminent, is to be discussed with r. e. r.
Nelson. G. 6. Shepherd, Taylor Mccoy and
E. G. Hardy for the government, and J. A.
Glasgow, II. Powell and f. 7. Powell fol
the railroads. From the character of the
questions put up, this society appears to
desire to make its public debates instruc-
tive. That being the case, we would sug-
gest that the subjects be announced Ito the
debaters at least) month ahead, so as to
give them an opportunity for original pre-
paratiOn. Taking the subject for next
Monday night, for instance, no speaker
with the limited library resources of mod
ern information at his disposal in Staun-
ton, can fit himself to discuss it in week.
A short notice in a debating society reduces
the speaker to the parrot-like repetition OF
somebody elses views fitting the side he is
assigned to, and does not improve him neal
as much as if he assorted and then assimi-
lated the current information that is to be
found on the topic.

DR.. Murray's New Home.

The agnes Scott Institute" at Deca-
tur, Ga, to become member of the fac
ulty of which Rev. Dr.. James Murray the
beloved pastor of Bethel church, in this
county, resigned his charge, is the only fe-
male Seminary in Georgia under Presbyte-
rian control. 1t was erected as princely
gift by Col. Geo. w. Scott, in memory of
his deceased mother, Mrs. Agnes Scott,
and he has already donated to it Sill 1856.
1t is four stories high, lighted by electricity
heated by steam and with all the modern
eonveniences. AT it's final dedication "to
the service of God and the cause of Chris
tian education, some weeks ago, the Synod
of Georgia was present, and the property
was formally turned over by the donor to
the trustees. The dedicatory address Was
delivered by Rev. DR.. G. Il. Stricken, and
a biographical sketch of Mrs. Scott was
read by her son, Hon. John Scott of Penn
sylvania. The Institute commenced three
years ago with teachers and 81 pupils, and

Dissolution of Pastoral Relations.

On Sunday morning last, the congregation
of the Second Presbyterian church accep-
ted the resignation of their pastor, Rev.
Dr.. FL. H. Halves, who has received a call
from the Virginia Synod to evangelistic
work. The acceptance was accompanied
by the adoption of q series OF resolutions,
setting forth clearly that the resignation
was only accepted because of their inabili-
ty to longer continue the pecuniary support
they had hitherto given him, and further
setting forth the deep regret with which
they parted with him.
At the meeting Of Presbytery, Monday,
the action of the congregation and it's deep
regret at parting with DR.. Halves were re-
ported to that body in fitting terms by Ell
ders Jed. Hotchkiss and T. G. Morton.
Dr.. Mcfarland Of the First church, also
took occasion to testify his high apprecia-
ton of Dr.. Halves as co-laborer in this
field, and his sorrow at parting with him.
In compliance with Dr.. Halves wishes,
Presbytery did not dismiss him to Abing-
don Presbytery, where his future work
will lie, but gave him permission to labor
outside OF its own bounds for year.

THREE MEN KILLED AND TWO BADLY
INJURED.
There was an accident to freight train
on the G. Il 0. near the White Sulphur
Wednesday night and wrecking train was
sent for to attend to it. Seeing the wreck
ing train pass him, and MISLEADING it for the
vestibule for which he was waiting, a
| freight pulled out of Mohler's siding near
Anderson, W. Va, and started West. At
O'Clock A. NJ. it met the vestibule coming
East at As miles an hour. No Car in
the vestibule train except the combination,
mail and express car WAS injured and no
passengers were hurt. The combination
car had the roof torn off and was crushed.
Postal Clerk Sidney Garland Burnett of
Richmond, was instantly killed; Postal
Clerk w. B. Simms, was thrown out
through the roof and little injured; Ticket
Collector Raume Whose run is from Cliff
ton Forge to Huntingdon had both legs
broken; Fireman Lyons of the freight was
killed; Engineer Lear of the freight was
severely wounded, and brakeman Mayes
was crushed and died in three hours.
Engineer Peck escaped by leaping
from his engine after reversing it. Express
Messenger Carpenter was caught in the
wreck Of the car and slightly wounded.
Among the passengers on the vestibule who
stopped in Staunton Wednesday evening
when that train got here at o'clock, was
MI. M. B. Gruber of Baltimore. He said
the accident was hardly felt at the rear of
the train owing to the vestibuling of the
cars, and that 30 passenger car nor passen-
ger was injured,

Stanton Alone Does It.

In the course of an exhaustive report on
education presented by Rev. DIR. Quarles of
Washington & Lee University, before the
Synod of Virginia at its late session in
Roanoke, statement quite creditable to
the Public Schools of Stanton was made.
Carefully prepared statistics of the school
dations in all the cities and towns in the
State being given, the speaker remarked
that Staunton was the only city in the State
that provided sufficient seating and other
accommodations for her children of both
sexes and color, and he commented on the
fact. 1t is a fact greatly to the credit of
our City Council and our Board of School
Trustees.

From, the Great Wagon Factory.

Saturday morning, there passed up the
street a new farm wagon on it's way to it's
owner, j. J. Shuey, of this county. 1t had
been made at the big Bodley Wagon Works,
and as it was the first our people had seen
from there it attracted much attention. 1t
was solid and substantial, and had good rer
liable workmanship all over it. The idea
had been among our people that the Dodley
wagon works only made the broad tire
wagons for the sugar country South, but
now that it is known they make farm wag-
ons, we hope to see them dong all the
work for this great Valley OF Virginia
which has so long bought Its wagons from
the West.

following resolutions, praying that the strong,
sensible women of our State will unite with
us.
Remembering with intense sorrow the many
recorded instances as we'll as those which
have come under our own observation, where
in young men have been tempted beyond re-
call through the social wine glass rendered
by some we'll meaning, perhaps, but thought
less society friend, we deem it a fitting time
to sound a note Of warning; therefore
ResoLred. That we do earnestly implore our
ladies to refrain from offering wine or any
other intoxicating beverage at any entertain
ment during the coming festive week.
Resolred, That we urge our young men to
avoid the glass that inebriates, in every time

a Compliment to a staunton Teacher.

The young lady mentioned in the notice
below, which we copy from Jackson.
Louisiana, contemporary, IS Miss Alice M.
Yost of Stauhton, q daughter of Maj. S.
M. Y ost. She is teaching music in the East
Feliciana Institute there. She graduated
in music with high honors at the Wesleyan
Female Institute here, and is one OF the most
accomplished pianists that has been gradu-
ated there OF at any of our female colleges.
Her many friends here will be glad to see
that her remarkable talent is as highly ap-
preciated in her new home as it is in Staun-
ton, her old one. Her performance was a
part of an exhibition given by the young
ladies of the MARY Catlett Lyceum' NAM
ed in honor Of Miss Mary Catlett who is
the Principal of the Institute:
1.-THE skillful manipulation OF the ivory
keys was the delight of a charmed audience
as they watched in enraptured silence the
trained and nimble fingers of Miss Yost,
Feliciana Institutes accomplished music
sion to the I'd Mazurka of Goddard. So
sweetly did the soft strains flow out from her
almost magical touch, filling the auditorium
with melody that came from the grand instru-
ment which responded lnsplratlon-lIke. 50
sweetly to the master touch of a skillful
hand that the audience testified their loyalty
to the fair performer and her art, with rounds
of generous applause. To the same gifted
young lady was accorded the compliment of
closing the programme, and her effort was the
climax of perfection, for in the Witches
Dance her rendition displayed to the best
advantage the finish of her musical accom-
plishment.
.iPaganini's compositions are of that high
type of the metaphysics of music that make
them not only difficult OF execution. but rare
ly appreciable by amateurs, save when in the
hands of thoroughly accomplished perform
er. Miss Yost may not only take just pride
in the art in which she exhibits such rare
talent, careful study and high cultivation,
but also feel highly fiattered at the warm re-
ception which the assemblage gave to her al
NMStic rendition"
