Wayt and M. Oberdorfer, clothier. As persons will very naturally inquire why this College was incorporated and what are the benefits thereof, we will succinctly a few of them. First.

It will add charterand dignity the college, and will ensure for it even greatei patronage fian it has had hereiofore, whlci will be a benefit to tho city as well as to the college. This college has been well patronized, and Its patronage Increases as its merits becom more widely known. There are more than fifty students In attend ance now, and half as many more are engaged for the next month. The graduates of this college have no difficulty in obtaining good situations as clerks in business houses i The early bird caches the bronchitis, and lovers of early morning walks will find this a true maxim.

was celebrated at toe Association Hall on Friday, November 28th, 1884 In the absence or the President, Alex. F. Rob. ertson. First Vice President, presided.

The services were opened with a hymn followed by a prayer from Maj. Jed. Hotchkiss. The first chapter of Joshua was then read, and Mr Robertson staled briefly tbe object of the meeting, after which Rev. J.

P. Strider addressed the Association. Mr. Strider was lis tenpd to with close attention, and his remarks were admirably suited to the occasion. Prof Webb, of the Virginia Female Institute, presided at the organ, and Mr.

Edwin Taylor played on the cornet, and, therefore, It goes without saying the music was very good- Mr. H. M. Mcllhany briefly reviewed the work of Y. M.

C. As. throughout tbe country, and showed "how the organizations had steadily grown in favor. The meeting was a pleasant one, and we dare say all were glad they had come. CANDIES, CAKES, and all that Is nice for Christmas "goodies," at c.

The ever vigilant and zealous Democrats of the Greenville section had their jubilee celebration Thursday night.and the Mt. Solon true-blues Jubilee Tuesday night of last week.

At the flrst-uamed place, there were crowds from Mtddlebrook, Newport, and Midway, the Stonewall Baud from Staunton, and the Cleve land guards of Waynesboro. Harry Tucker made one of his happiest efforts and the re joiclngwas unbounded. At Mt. Solon, bonfires and fire-works made a large display, and everybody was in a rejoicing mood. Capt.

James Bnmgardner, as in the field, came up boldly to the de mand of hosts of friends, and gave them a parting speech which will be remembered the canvass and the scenes of the great contest of 1884 Into history. ROASTKD COFFEE still are the go. Try them, at C. C. Wheat's.

An Interesting Lecture. IIARTIN LUTHER AND JOHN IiUNYAN. We regret that we have not the space to notice as they deserve the very admirable lectu es on Martin Luther and John Bunyan that were delivered, respectively, on Monday and Tuesday nights this week in the Baptist phnrch of this city, by Rev. Arthur Millard, of Illinois. These distinguished and remarkable men are fine subjects for a good lecturer, and as Dr.

Millard belongs to that class, his lectures upon them were more than ordinarily enter taintng and instructive. Should Dr. Millard ever tavor our city again with a visit, he wit) be cordially received, and his lectures will be niimefousiy attended. Warrant Monday, December Ist. 1884, Charles S.

The meetings, just closed, at the Baptist cNnrcb, have excited great interest, and drawn 'a ge congregations every night three to hear the gospel preached. Dr.

Mil lard has been of great help to the Pastor, Rev. Allan Curr, and will be remembered tor many days to come A number have been baptized and added to tbe church, and more are expected to follow.

WHERE TO BE FOUND AND WHAT TO RICH DISPI.AT FOR Alt. Our bright little city will greet the approaching season of Christmas with all that Is appropriate in association with the occasion.

Childhood, youth, manhood, and old age, all alike mingle in a common joy and yield their thoughts and time to the many reflections which the closlngyear produces. Thankful for life and health and prosperity, ail are well prepared to review the past, and enter upon the realities of the New Year. The intervening days are rich in remembrances of the one, aud not without precious hopes of tbe other, coming with ail its unknown future. Let happiness and contentment, moderation with pleasure, be blended with all that is done. It Is the season of precious gifts and a time for the renewal of perpetuity of attachments, and the forgetfulness of the rough points of our nature.

Cheerful, warm fires, blazs brightly, and comforu shed their joys around. With the loved ones of our households, and our companions anil friends, we I not forget the poor and the needy. In the common festivity there will be many who arc; dustltute and whose forms are bowed down. Charity and the heart to give will enter toe lonaiy home in all the beauties of christian benevoiencc and bid the weak and the despondant to arise from the dreariness where want and sorrow have placed them. Inthisand a few succeeding issues of the Spectator many of the merchants, tradesmen and dealers of all kinds, will make special display of what they have and where to buy gifts and ths hundreds of articles defined appropriate for the reason either in making their ovn homes happy or bestowing favors, upon others.

A DISTINGUISHED NATIVE OF AUGUSTA COUNTY. On Saturday morningat So'clock, Nov.22nd., Judge Andrew S. Fulton, a native of Waynesboro' of this county, full of years and honors, breathed his last, at the residence of his sonin-law, J. P. M.

Sanders of Wythe, at the ad vanced age of 84 years, 1 month, and 23 days. He had many relatives and friends In this county. As the Wythvllle Dispatch says, almost half a century, Andrew S. Fulton was a prominent fignre, not only in the history ot Wythe county, but of the whole of South West Virginia. During all these years he was respected, esteemed, and loved by the whole people.

His pure, unselfish and nicorruptible nature challenged the confidence of Ihe public, and iv ail relations of life he played well his part. Whether as a lawyer, a legislator, a politician, or a bright ornament, to the bench, his character was without a cloud, and his name was never mentioned without respect. And these characteristics were equally conspicuous In private life. As a husband, father, and friend he was tender, bind and true, and leaves behind him a memory which will long be kept green iv the hearts of the people of this section wtiere he was so well known and to deariy ioved. Tnough ho had passed the allotted term of man's pilgrimage on ccrlh, the tidings of his death will still bring a thrill of regret through our mountains and VbllO) s.

and many will be ready to exclaim, "a great man has fallen." Peacefully and calmly he contemplated the "Inevitable hour" and was never heard to utter a murmur or cemp alnt until the vital forces of an unusually vlgoron3 frame at last succumbed, the wheels of Die ceased to revolve, and lua ppirit ascended to God who gave it. Andrew S. Fulton was born Hhh Sept. 1800 near Waynesboro, Augusta couuiy, Va. He was educated at Hampden Sydney College, afterwards read law in' the office of Judge Briscoe G.

Baldwin, iv Sf-tuiitO'i Va. He settled in Abingdon. Va la ld2J aud euieted on tbe practice of law with bis brother, John n. Fulton, who bad a few years previously located tn thattjirn. He was led in Wythe county, in IS2S to Miss Sallle ffineanansr, and short renw-v.

tn Wythvilie, and soon attained prominence in the community and In his profession, lie i-erved his county one or more terms lv the Legislature of Virginia, was elected to Congress i.s a Whig iv 1847 and served one term only. Iris District, b-jintr largely Democratic. His Whig colleagues from Virginia were Wm. Ballard IVestjn, Wm. L.

Goggin, Thos. S. Pdudleton and John Minor an array of names which may well challenge comparison with any delegation from either before or since that time. He served as Commonwealth's Attorney for Wythe county for several years, and In 1852 was eieoted by vote, Judge of the Circuit Court, which position he filled with great distinction and ability until 1867 when he was removed by military authority. Since his retirement he has led a quiet patriarchal life among his children and other relations Judge Fulton had nine children, five of whom survive him.

JED. TOHKIBS. On last Saturday night, Maj. Jed. Hotchkiss delivered iv the Hall of the Y.

M. 0. an interesting lecture for the benefit of that Association. The audience was not us large a's the merits ofthe lecture, and the object In behalf of which it was given, deserved. He Introduced his lecture by roferrin-j to the material and the mode of manufacture and the style of dress of our forefathers, and gave tho origin of the cotton trade of this country, showing from what a little beginning It bad grown into such marvellous proportions.

He then save the location and dimensions of the vast buildings constructed in the park at New Orleans tor tha World's Exposition, and the character of the countless thousands of articles that would be on exhibition in them. He gave the character and an approximate estimate of the articles that would be on exhibition from this State. Tie s'u'owod by reference to large maps of bis construction, that rrould be at the Exposition, the geography aud geological reatures or this state, and It Is that. Virginia is favored above other States by Its variety of minerals aad productions. It contains almost, every valuable mineral, and can produce in Its soil almost every necessary production.

He alto shower how ths vast territory lying between tbe Blue Ridge and the Rocky Mountains was fortnel, beginning lv tha early geologic ages when the Potsdam Saudstone was formed In the bottom ot the vast ocean that then savored that portion of this continent, and tnen a layer of Iron spread over it, In the outcropping of which are found all the Iron mines of this State; and then layer upon layer, str upon stratum, of different rocks and miner Is were formed until that vast basis was filled, when the bottom dropped out and the sides fell in, causing the displacements and upturning of the Btrata as newfound The Blue Ridge was tho eastern shore of this ocean, as is shown by tbe holes In the Potsdam sandstone there found and other evidences. We do not propose to report this lecture, but only to give some lclea of Hs general scope, and to say that it wag, to us at least, and we sup. pose to all who heard it, quite entertaining and instructive.

IRREGULARITIES IN THE AUDITOR'S OFFICE. It is the duty of the clerks of the various courts of the Commonwealth to collect the tax upon civ-1 process, deeds, and to make report thereof to the Auditor and cover the sairs into the Treasury between the Ist day of September and the 15th day of December in each year, with very heavy penalties upon them for failure to make such report and payment within the time specified From an examination, says the report of the Committee, it appears-that there were 113 clerks of county and corporation courts, the same number of clerks of circuit courts, and one clerk of Richmond City Chancery Court, making in all 237 clerks, who ought to have made such reports and payments for the year ending September 1, 1882, and September 1, 1883. But the records show no report or payment from 153 of these clerks for the year ending September 1, 1882, and none from 107 of them for the year ending September 1, 1883. This state of facts can be explained in but one of two ways: Either the clerks failed to make these reports and payments, which are not entered to their credit, or they made them and were not credited by them on the books of the office. The Committee only had time to make thorough investigation as to three counties, from which it appears that sums to the amount of $1,533.43 are proven as having been paid into the office from three of the counties of tho State, of which the books show no trace; and one sum, in addition to these (the amount of which could not be given), is also proven to have been paid in and not entered.

The report says: "Your Committee be- P'eve that a full investigation will show that many thousands of dollars have been paid into the Auditor's office by the clerks and not entered on the books of that office." The report of tho Committee concludes as follows: Committee recommend as being probably the only measure now practicable the appoinmetit of a committee to continue the investigation after tliis session of the General Assembly shall have adjourned sine die, and to report to the next meeting thereof, with leave to such report printed at any time, and with as full powers in other respects as may be granted to it. Respectfully submitted, John B. Moon, Chairman; R. T. Barton.

The history of the central section of tbe great ley of Virginia is its history. With the ej tion of two other journals in the State it its rank in years of existence, and In castl view over all tbe country from karylar Tennessee, west of the Blue Ridge mountt lis entitled to wear the honors of age in a with lis esteemed contemporari, What eventful years and times It has Coming into life during the quiet administration of Monroe, it has steai noved evenly along the pathway of true jc tailsm, a representative organ of a noble md the champion of correct and sound prli iples. Before the formation of the great itlcal parties of which Henry Clay and A Ircw Jackson were the exponents, it was ctiveand zealous champion of the people a he people's rights. Receiving inspiration pctiy from the rounders of our government, I as maintained tho true theories and tbe hi. urposes which established civil liberty ni beral rule on the American Continent, as witnessed the rise and fall of great parti it has passed through the scenes of troub hlch came upon all the country, and i the day or Its birth and first active life, I ipreme devotion to right, to Justice, togoc government, and the advocacy of substanth and liberal progress, guides Its aims and cor.

secrates Its motives. The mission of a newspaper Is one of responsibility. It exerts an almost suprem control In the ramily, In social life, and in bus Ineas affairs, for good or evil. The cultivation of proper literary taste, promotion of agriculture, commerce, and man ufactnros, and the advocacy of measures true progress, are the chief cares In the labon of those who conduct tbe columns of tin Spectator. Education first and foremost it Emdwork of all advancement, and upon Is, the chief as well as the minor purd objects of man's existence are found- Platforms are.

In these times, considered the proper mode lv which to present claims for public recognition and support. The Spectator retains its old and time-honored principles and purposes. Under the benign Influences of a new national administration, which will recognize the equality of all sections of this great country, and, adhering to its enunciated purposes, tbe Spectator will maintain Its place In the public arena, with high hopes of present and future usefulness, which shall be wo. thy of Its past history. In the details or Journalism are many interesting features.

It is a question In this day which engrosses the minds or editors most, the chart under which they work.or the attractive and entertaining subjects which caD be gathered by effort and Industry in the daily round of toll. Correspondence, news, reviews of books and standard publications, thorough market reports, are some of the details, but not the least, in making up a readable and lively paper. Then the local department. If not first In importance. Is tbe first read, and still continues to claim that constant and discriminating attention so essential to the Influence which it exercises on all minds, especially the young.

The fact of the prominence given it, makes it ol' first Importance, and In progressive journalism it lias already taken that rank. TuaSr-EtfATOE will labor to merit enlarged patronage In Its subscriptions, and In its advertising ami job-printing departments. It feels that there is no more to do than to invite a cordial co-operation of old and new and yonufc' friends to its aid. Now is a most desirable time to commence with its regular weekly visits, and to. realize how efficiently and faithfully it can serv6 thepurposesof entertainment and instruction.

The Next State Canvass- Those who subscribe now for a year will get the paper through the canvass of the election for State officers next year, the result of which will Involve grealer interests to Virginia than the Presidential election. No voter should be without the Spectator during thst Important canvass. The weal or woe of Virginia will depend upon Its result, The Markets. The market reports alone of the Spectator are worth more than Its subscription The markets are reported fuller, and ths livestock markets earlier, in the Spectator, than In any other paper of this city.
