Reports from nearly all sections of the county contain the stereotyped ex pression, “the crap is right smartly in the grass.” F Mr. Tarver, of Augusta, had his arm broken, in jumping from the cars, opposite the Carter place (two miles below Waynesboro’) on Wednesday last. We hear that he is getting along very well. t Careless Driving. —A driver of the colored way of cracking fkc whip, while driving across the bridge, near our office, Tuesday last, ran against one of the corner posts*, breaking it down, and carrying the railing with it. Wc hope the council will not have it to replace f X Moot Court, composed of the younger members of the Waynesboro Bar, have decided the- recent amend ment to the Bankrupt Law unconstitu tional. Wc suppose this settles the question. The United States Supreme Court will certainly not dissent from thedecison of this august tribunal, t Executions arc more plentiful than anything else in this county. This will bo apparent by reference to our columns of advertised public sains of the sheriffs —they are “Everywhere, everywhere— Like the butterfly’s silvery wings (That are seen by nil in the summer air), Wc meet with these boautiful things." t One More Unfortunate. —On Mon day night last, “within a mile of Way nesboro town,” a gentle nnd valuable line was slaughtered by that appropri ately-named appendage to the engine of the down train. After awhile we should not be suprised if section hands were ashamed to look cattle in the face. F Tins former agent of the Wheeler & Wilson Sewing Machin#, Mr. A. C. Mitchell, having “gone to Halifax,” Mr. T. J. Stanford has been placed in charge of this circuit. Mr. Mitch ell informed us, a few days before he left, that he had sold nearly three hund red machines in this county. We wish his successor like success. f Peters’ Musical Monthly is the best publication of its kind in the universe. And Peters’ Establishment is one of tfie most complete “music emporiums” in existence. We can only judge of these things by comparison. And when we compare this “Prince of Music” with the balance of mankind in the same liuc, we are forced to know that he is paramount to them all. * * ■ jrn Social Qranqis, is the name of the Farmers Lodge, recently organized in this county.

Tel fairville is rather a collection of country residences than a village. Tho inhab itants of that portion of Burke county, impressed with the necessity of educa ting their children hnvo ,collected to gether in this way so as to bo in prox imity to the school which was founded by Mr. Hodgson several years since. Mr. Lkßoy A Murphy is in charge of this institution, and the scholars evince having been taught well—lie is thoroughly competent, ai:d a man of ex perience in teaching. The examina tion was conducted in the most opon and fair manner, showing that the pu pils were not crammed for the occasion. At night there was the usual exhibi tion which follows examinations. We think there is a good valuable time consumed in preparing for these exhibitions, and on that ground do not approve of them. However, there were several of the scholars who showed his trionic talent. One Mr. Powel : s the | very best amateur we have ever seen Hodgson lustituto is fortunato in having Mr. Mukpiiy for its principal, f We often receive letters asking us to send The Expositor to some person or persons, with a promise to pay at some future day. Of course, under our pre sent rules, these letters receive no at tention—we cannot afford to answer them. In order to secure the paper partjesmtM( invariably accompany their ordors with the cash. And tho receipt of the paper by parties so sending, should be a sufficient receipt for their money. t F W ood’s Household Magazine for July is ahead of any previous number, and when wc consider its usual standard ex cellence, this is rare praise iudeed. It is household , not only in name but in character , and its table of contents shows a wonderful adaptation of articles to the individual members of the family cir cle. “Sim’s Little Girl,” a temperance story by Mary Hartwell, “Weather tough Block,” by Kail Ivase, “How The Vow was Kept,” by 11. V. Osbornc> “Lunatics at Large,” by Rev. F. W. Holland, and “T. e Declaration of In dependence,” by J. B. Wakeley, D. D., are among the more noticeable articles. The Children’s Department is crowd ed full, and contains a poem, in biby-talk, which without doubt, will be very ac ceptable to the little ones. The price of the magazine is one dollar a year. — Address, Wood's Household Magazine, Newburgh, N. Y. Weslyan Female College.— We ac knowledge the receipt of the catalogue of Weslyan Female College for 1872-3. It is gratifying to us to say that the evidence before us abundantly attests the fact of the continued prosperity of this time-honored Institute. Weslyan Female. Cqjlege is the oldest college for the education of females upon the American continent, and many, very many, of the noblest, lest, and most cultivated woman all over this country are her alumni—who have at different periods passed from within her classic walls to give worth, dignity, and char acter to the sooiety in which they have lived. Some of the daughters of old Burke are now being educated there, and all take high rank in their classes. One, the daughter of our worthy fellow citizen, Hon. J. B. Jones, bears away the first honor in the graduating class of this year. The commencement exer cises will begin on the 10th inst. and close on the 16th. The next session will commence on the 6th of October next. The Board of Instruction are compose'd of men of higi Christian char acter, scholarly attainment, and emi nently fitted for the education of our daughters. The catalogue shows that there were two hundred and twenty five young ladies in attendance upon the exercises of the collego for the year ending July 15th. The editors of the far Western week lies are not deprived of all that makes life endurable, as one would suppose from the looks of their sheets. The editor of the Record, an Arizona paper, has now on his table two invitations to act as second in a'duel, an invite to an Indian hunting raid, a pair of boar skin pants presented by a hunter, a three pound nugget of silver, a free pass on a stage route, two lutte y tickets, three Apache scalps, a call to act as postmaster and justioe of the peace, and twenty seven dollars worth of fdro checks. SUNDAY SCHOOL PIC NIC. A fhecting of the Teachers of the Waynesboro’ Sunday School was this day held at tho office of lion. John J. Jones, Superintendent, for the purpose of devising ways and means by which to provide a pic uic for tho children of the School. Col. J. J. Jones was requested to act as chairman, and E. F. Lawson was appointed Secretary. All matters involving the iutcrest of Sunday Schools in this locality were thoroughly eliminated by discussion and debate, after which it was unanimously resolved that a pic uio be prepared for the benefit of the childreu connected with tho School, on Thursday’ tho third day of July, at such place as tho com mittees may designate. Two committees, tho first composed of five ladies, the latter of six gentle men, were appointed to make all neces sary arrangements for the occasion. It is unnecessary to enumerate the duties of these committees here, as they fully comprehend and understand their respective duties. It was rosolved that notice of this proceeding be given by publication in The Expositor. The committees : First.— Mrs. J. D. Munnerlyn, Mrs. E. F. Lawsoj, Mrs A. Rodgers, Mrs. J. E. Scales, Mrs. S.

The Washington Republican gives an account of an interesting interview with Mrs. Mary Custis Lee, the widow of the late General R. E. Lee, at the res idence of her relative, Mrs. Fairfax, of Alexandria, Va., where she has been visiting. Mrs. Leo is a great grand daughter of the George Washington Parke Custis, whom Washington adopt ed at the age of six months, and is ap parently about sixty years of age. The following is a summary of the interview. The home of 31rs. Lee’s youth and married life, Arlington, was built by her father, to which she was carried when only a month old, and had for her, besides the associations of a happy life, the relies-and records of a family she was taught to revere. In 1832 3lary Custis married Robert K. Lee. Her father, George Washington Parke Custis, dying in 1857. gave to 3frs. Lcc j by his will, the estate during her natural life, and at her death to descend to her son, George Washing tou Custis Lee, and from him entire and unchanged to lus latest posterity. Beyond the simple duties of an execu tor, General Lee had no control of the property, and never either before or since assumed or attempted to assume a single right of ownership. There are eleven hundred acres in all, and some two hundred acres of the estate are occupied as a soldier's ceme tery. The land at the time of its liter al occupation by the government could not have been worth less than two huudred dollar.. per acre. Since trtlac time its value, for various reasons, lias rapidly appreciated. At the time of its nominal purchase by the govern ment tor the faintest sort of a song, un der tho operation of a tax sale, there were several of Mrs. Lee’s friends ready to make the purchase for her,, or to pay the taxes. Mrs. Loe willingly and cheerfully accepts the unfortunate sit uation in which she was placed, with*- out dosire that the sacred purposes to which her homestead has been devoted shall ho disturbed, hut expects that justice will bo done her in the premises. When Mrs. Lee’s father died he in serted a clause in his will that all the I slaves belonging to the estate'should be set free after tho expiration of five years. The time of their manumission came on in 1863, and right in tho very height of the war, Geucral Robert E. Lee, as the executor of tho will, summoued these slaves together at a convenient point within his lines, and gave them their free papers and passes through tho Confederate lines to go whither they would. The Republican also publishes the copy of tho United States sales certifi cate, with an order from President Lin coln to the commissioners under the act, to bid in Arlington for tho use of tho United States. — + m •- Thoma3 Nast ( the artist, has been engaged by James Rcdpatb, of Boston, toleoti|roncxt season on : ‘Cario*twing.” "I am Dying, Egypt, Dying.” ONE TOUCH OF NATURE MAKES TUB WORLD AKIN. The letter of our Louisville corres pondent written on board the steamer General Lytle, will be found of more than ordinary interest. Tho name of this steamer recalls one of the most chivnlric and pleasing incidents of tho late war. It was in one of the battles of the West—and which of them our memory doc.<i*not supply—that General Robert 11. Lytle, a member of the Cincinnati press, who had risen not only from printer to editor, but from private to General, was killed far in advance of his command, while gallantly lending an assault upon our lines. Ilis horse bore his corpse into our lines, and tho steed and his dead rider were both captured. So soon as it was known that the author of that rare poem, as familiar and as greatly admired South as North, ‘I ain Dying, Dying,’ lay dead in the camp officers and men crowned around to take .a last look at the face of the pOet-soldier who had achieved so great a literary triumph. There was no rejoicing over the death of this fallen enemy; but there was in truth something on each soldier’s cheek that for the moment washed away the stains of powder. Tenderly they took him up, and when the battle wgs over an escort of honor, appointed from among the leading Confederate officers, bore him back to his own camp, under a flag of truce, on a rudely constructed funeral bier, with his martial cloak around him.. In life he had touched that chord of human sympathy which makes all the world akin—and in death its harmonious vibrations sileuced all resentment and thrilled the hearts alike of friends and foes with a nobler pas sion than hatred or revenge. —Richmond Enquirer. Resuscitating the Drowned. — Dr. Joux, an eminent physician of Brussels, having recently exhausted ail known scientific remedies in attempting to re store an apparently drowned man, and failed, proceeded to apply plates of iron, heated to a white heat, to the upper parts of the body, near the more vital organs. /Vfter a short time, to the as tonishment of the assistants, faint signs of breathing were observed, and in the course of half an hour the man came to life, and was finally fully restored, the only inconvenience sustained being the result of the severe cauterization which his skin necessarily underwent. The Sun Cholera Medicine.— Owing to the carelessness of the printer, the prescription which is an absolute specific for the prevention of Asiatic cholera, if taken when tho looseness of the bowels is first noticed, and is good at any stage of the disease, was not as alcar as wo intended. Wc repeat it here : Tinct. Opii, Tinct. Oapsici, Tinct.'Rliei co, Tinct. Menth pip, Tinct. Campho, Mix equal parts each. As already explained, it consits of a mixture of equal parts .of tincture of opium, red pepper, rhubarb, peppermint and camphor, and the dose is teu to thirty drops iu two or three teaspoon fuls of water.— M. T. Journal of Com merce. The New York Commercial Advertiser, a uewspaper that is, at times, both wit ty and wise, thus comments on tho statement that many “relics of barba rism” are still lingering in'society. “Wo ought to bo thankful,” says our wide awake cotemporary, “for the variety they afford us. The age is suffocated with civilization. It has unsettled the ‘sweet contentment’of married life by the blandishments ot divorce laws ; it has robbed honesty of its manly part, and sent it crippled and limping through out the land ; it has dulled the pride of public virtue, and made all men slaves to the lust of riches; it has raised false standards in society, religion and politics, and has jostled justice to tho brink of creation, and dropped it over into New Jersey. If relics of barba rism are selling cheap, give us moro of thorn.” IiiroRTANT Discovery.— Galileo invented tho telescope; Columhus discovered anew world; llarvey/tho circulation [ tho blood, and to Prof. Morse is due the oredft of teaching the lightning how to talk, but it was rosorved to Dr. J. Rraii fislt) to ponetrate tho mystic depths of science, and drag therefrom the wonder of our century. Tho victory has been won, and woman is free!-- Tho sale of Dr. J. Buabfield’s Female Regu lator is unprecedented in tho history of popular rerae lies,and thousands of certificates are coming in from grateful women, throughout the Union, attesting its powers and applauding its untold beuefits to their sox. For salo in I Vaynesboro’ by Wilkins A Cos. v myl~3in The Civil Rights and Enforcement Bill Embodied. The Louisville ledger discovered these bills embodied in n remarkable boy who made his appearance at the Nashville depot last week, and whom it declares to be ono.of the greatest curi osities of tbo ngc. lie is half white and half black, not in the m ilatto and miscegenation sense, but the lower hall of his body is whiter than white folks usually are, while the upper portion was as black as midnight. His mother, a coal black negress, was with him, and they left on the Nashville train at seven o’clock last evening. lie is but three years old, and has already learned to make money out of his peculiarities, lie made several tiicklcs yesterday in a very few minutes. There is a round patch, about three inches in diameter, I of perfectly beautiful hair on the top! of his head, which is surrounded by lit tle kinky negro wool. The boy is to be taken on to Wash ington and presented in form to Charles Summer. lie is then to bo placed dai ly on the pedestal in the rotunda of the capital and stand there as the living embodiment of Radicalism, to provoc that their schemes arc not at able war with nature and God Almighty. A portrait of him will also be carefully painted and placed on the Radical standard with the motto — u in hoc signo vinccre." After this they will all tako the 4th of July and feel better. A trio of Spanish females, mother and two lovely daughters, representing themselves as Cuban refugees, and having bogus letters of recommenda tion from the President, members of the Cabiuet, General Sherman, and other prominent persons, succeeded in raising §B,OOO by subscription in San Francisco, recently, “to establish a fe male seminary.” They disappeared all of a sudden, and were last seen in New York. .Something New Under the Sun. —Anew era is dawning upon tho life of women. Hitherto she has been called upon to suffer the ills of mankind and her own besides. Tho frequent and distress ing irregularities peculiar to her sex have long been to her tho “direful spring of woes uunum berod.” In the mansion of tho rich and in the hovel of poverty alike woman has been the cod stant yet patient victim of a thousand ills un known to man—and those without a remedy.— ‘Oh, Loan, how long!” in the agony oT her soul hath she cried. But now tho hour of her re demption is come.
