We were truly sorry to learn of the death of
Mrs Fanny Hopkins, daughter of the late
Henry Bisling, and wife of Gerard T, Hop
kins, Esq, which occurred at her home at
"Cave HILL one mile east of McGaheysville,
Rockingham county, on Wednesday night,
Feb. 2Sth. She was a most excellent woman
in the full sense of the term, and was faithful
and true in all the relations of life, and was
not only highly esteemed, but greatly loved
by all who knew her. She was sister of the
late Geo. J. Kisling of Harrisonburg, and of
Whitfield Kisling, the gallant, Adjutant of the
10th Va Regiment, who was killed on the 18th
of May, 1864, in the battle of Spottsylvania
Courthouse.
A correspondent of the Rockingham Regis
ter, writing from McGaheysville, under date
of March 9Th, says
Our community has sustained great loss
in the death of Mrs. Fanny Hopkins the be-
loved wife of Mr.. Gerard 7. Hopkins She
enjoyed married life of 464 years, during all
that time exhibiting the most lovely womanly
character. Her funeral took place from he1
late refidence on Friday at II o'clock. A large
concourse of friends were present. The ser.
vices were conducted by her pastor, Rev. c. J
Kennard, assisted by Rev. Jacob Hopkins of
Mt. Jackson. Her remains were laid to rest
in the presence of many mourning friends
and loved ones. Just before the body was
committed to the ground, by request the beau
tiful hymn was sung, ''We Never Say Good
Bye in Heaven" and while the grave was be
ing filled, "Oh Think of the Home over There

HercuIean Labor.

An old friend and subscriber asks us to per-
form a labor almost as great as any of the
twelve labors assigned to Hercules. He
wishes to know everything that occurred in
the late Legislature and requests US to "give
through the SPECTATOR a synopsis of the whole
and every act that was introduced; of every
act vetoed by the Governor; and of every act
that has become law"
To comply with this request would necessi-
tate filling several issues of the SPECTATOR
with matter that no one, except himself posi-
bly,, would read, and our subscribers would
think us daft.

DISCOVERED IN THE PYRAMIDS
The New York Herald's European edi-
ton publishes the following: THE
treasury of the Kings Ousourtesen, of
the twelfth dynasty, has been discov-
cred at Dashour, by Mr.. Morgan, the
director of the excavations going on in
the interior of the pyramids. 1t was
hidden in a tomb near relative of the
royal family. Jewels and gold incrust-
ed precious stones were in great varie-
ty, including a crown, probably the
oldest specimen of Egyptian art, and
exquisitely moulded lions. This dis
covery doubles the Importance of
Ghizeh.
If a veteran of Gettysburg, man
whose courage and devotion place him
in the front rank of brave men, cannot
be trusted by his comrades of the fed
eral army to do them justice as pen
sion commissioner. who can be expect
ed to give them their deserts? Judge
Lochren, the present commissioner of
pensions, won his spurs as fighting
soldier in the Union ranks, and certain
ly it seems that he ought to be in
sympathy with the veterans in the
matter of pensions. But probably
Lochren is not acceptable to the non
fighting brigade, or those who only be-
came belligerent after the cruel war
was over. This would not be surpris-
ing. A genuine fighter would be dis
tasteful to these people under any
circumstances.-Iadec-Appeal.
