Association, attended by prominent attor-
MICS from the counties Of Lee, Scott and

her I'D, with Judge w. T. Miller In the
chair. the following resolutions were
unanimously adopted:
4 We earnestly recommend 10 the next
General Assembly OF Virginia the name Of
Hon. W. S. K. Morrison. judge OF this,
the Seventeenth Judicial Circuit for one
OF the Judges Of our next Supreme Court
of Appeals Judge Morrison has presid-
, ed over this circuit for more than six
wears and we know him 70 be- courteous
and cultured gentleman. an able, faithful
and pure Judge. He Is now in the prime
Of life, Is deeply yersed In the principles
of law, and has rare judicial qualifications,
and we believe he would dignity and
adorn the appellate bench.
. We hold that In the selection Of our
appellate Judge. the Legislature should.
where practicable give preference to
those who have faithfully. and with mark
ed ability served the State In the capac-
ity Of circuit judges. We believe Judge
Morrison Is eminently qualified from
training and experience 10 deal with land
and mining law which is class OF It'll
CATION largely peculiar to this section OF
the State and which must occupy more
and more attention OF our highest court.
We therefore name committee OF

Judge Morrison was called upon several

A Brave Soldier.

A hundred years ago the unfortunate
people who came into the hands of the
surgeons, generally soldiers or sailors
who had been hurt in action. were forced
to undergo the operations necessary to
the prolongation of life without taking
ether or chloroform, as is now admins
tered to make the patient unconscious,
and so free from pain attendant upon
the operation. To secure quiet, often
the subject had to be bound by ropes, so
that much as he might desire to vince
he was utterly unable to do so.
Occasionally patients would show re-
markable fortitude at the crisis of their
troubles, but none ever showed more
than a soldier who, on the morning after
the battle of Yorktown, oct. 10, 1871,
was brought into the hospital, having
been shot in the knee. 1t was found
necessary to amputate the limb, and the
surgeon ordered the nurses to bind the
man fast preparatory to the operation.
Never protested the soldier. You
may tear my heart from my breast, but
you shall not bind me. Can you get me
a fiddler"
His request was complied with, and he
proceeded to tune the instrument, after
which he said, 80, doctor, now you can
begin" Andhe played during the whole
of the operation, which lasted 40 min
utes, without utteringa single false note
or disturbing his features in the slight

A Monster Owl Killed In the CatskilIs.

Henry E. Mckenzie Of Port Even
came up the L. and d. railroad as far as
Olive Branch for the purpose Of shoot
ing game. While out in the woods near
Browns Station Il large bird flew over
his head. Mckenzie fired and succeeded
in injuring one of his wings. causing it
to drop in woods near by. He quickly
ran to where it fell for the purpose Of
securing it. When he reached the spot,
he made an attempt to get it, but it
sprang at him III such furious manner
as TO cause him some alarm and great
deal of anxiety as to his personal safety.
With the aid of his companion, Ed
ward Davis of Olive. and a long pole
they succeeded III turning the bird on
its back and tying its feet with piece
Of rope. thus rendering it helpless and
safe to carry. 1t turned out to be a great
owl, a bird rarely seen outside of British
America. its natural habitation. Its
wing measurement is feet, it stands
nearly >! feet high and has head about
IS inches in circumference, surmounted
in two large horns. The only injury
done the bird was a slight wound about
the left wing, and it was taken to Port
Even by Mr. Mckenzie, where he has it
on exhibition. Many people who have
visited Central park and seen the many
curious owls there say that nothing like
it, either as to size or resemblance, is on
