Mr. Sprunt. ln the absence of tbe moderator, called to order and opened the session with prayer, after which Rev. J. E.

Booker occupied the cbair. Rev. Mr. Walker, stated clerk, was present, besides other ministers and Elders constituting a quorum. Rev.

Taylor Martin, or Mechlenburg Presbytery being present, was Invited to a seat as corresponding member. Tbe objects or the session were then explained, when Rev. Mr. MoCntehan moved that the pastoral relations or Mr. Sprunt to tbe Augusta Church De dissolved and tbat he be transferred to the Orarge Presbytery of North Carolina.

Messrs. Wm. H. Moorman aud P. H.

See appeared as Commissioners from Augusta Church and submitted the following preamble and resolutions which were adopted by that church on the Ist instant, both of them giving expres-ion to the sentiments of tbe church and community in being called to separate from a pastor and friend held in such nnivenal esteem and affection "It is with feelings of sadness, tbat vt hear of onr beloved pastor's determination to ask tbe severing of the tender ties tbat have united us ln tbe pleasant relations of pastor and people for almost six years to our spiritual good and advancement. For he bas been to us a pastor ln every duty; the very embodiment of christian zeal; seeking continually every opportunity toad vanoe his master's cause, and his people's good, both by precept and example, in a spirit so loving and tender, as to draw the tendril, of hie people closely about him. Feeling, as we do, tbat his ministry has been go bleat and productive of good so great, that we could not unite with him in his request, even though he felt it his duly to go, did not the question of bea th ap peal to tne feelings of love, tbat prompts us to wish to retain him as our pastor. Therefore, belt- Sesolved Ist. Tbat.

as the promotion of his healtn would be tne preservation of his use fulness, ltis our sad duly to unite with him ln his request that the relations as pastor and people be dissolved. Resolved 2nd, That we heartily recommend bitn to the people to whom be goes as faithful in duly, tender and loving in ail his dealings, and earnestly hope tht will bold up bis hands and strengthen his zeal with loving apprecia tion." Mr. Sprunt briefly addressed the Presbytery ln touching language, and under a deop sense 'of the clrcumstabces which had led him to take tbe step which separates him from a congregation and Irlends so dear to him. The manifestations by all, tbe young people as well as the older, and tbe colored also, ln expressing their desire that he would remain as their pastor had come to him se often and lo so many ways that lt was indeed a struggle with him at times to obtain his own consent for this dissolution of ties. He bad been repeatedly informed by his physicians that digease was making inroads on bis bealtb, which a more climate would probably arrest, and as he knew this disability was growing annually, he bad at last concluded to geek relief, by tbe cbange.

He referred to August Churoh.ttnd his associations tbere, ln tender and solemn words. Mr. Sprunt also spoke of tbe church at Henderson, N. C. to which he goes.

He had every reason to believe that tbe charge would Improve bis health, but. that was not tbe on consideration by whicb he was guided He believed that lt would be in hipower to accomplish more in tbe work of tbe ministry there tban here, and that fact Im pre-sed him with all its importance. Revs Walker, Wlnfree. Ballnj. and John son, made brier addresses in relation to the separation from Mr.

Sprunt. tbat breathed thi full spirit or chiistian love Mr. Johnson, who recently assum-d the pastorate at Hebron, vacated the pulpit Mr. Sprunt It called. Tbe resolution was then passed, and Mr.

tSprnnt was request! to preach next Sunday at the Augusta chutch and declare the pulpit Vac-Dt. The Presbytery then adjourned. lIKITHS AT AND NEAR Margaret Hess, widow of Erasmus He deceased, (sister of Capt. R. K.

it SPECTATOR AND GENERAL Frequent mention has been made ln the Spectatok or tne constantly increasing facilities in tne number of new stations. President Spencer of tbe Valley Railroad is giving the country between Lexington and Staunton on that line. A new one recently established, about sixteen miles South of Staunton, has been christened "Spotsmood," and already we have at the new Post office established there a goodly number or subscribers. One, an esteemed friend, not if any, on the sunny side of three-score years of earthly pilgrimage, asks that tbe Spectator shall entertain him and other readers in his locality with some of the details of the history of the floe old Colonial Governor, ln whose honor the place has been named. When our friend was a boy ln the country primary uchools, there wag no history of the Sate ln them as a text book as now.

and for that reason, we presume, lt did not occur to him how admirably our free schools now oonfer advantages denied lo the country youth even to a much later period tban the days when be and nearly all hts ootemporaries had to accept what could he obtained with scarcely any history thrown in. The history of Virginia by Miss Mary Tucker Magill, now in its ninth edition, is a text book ln our primary schools, admirauly written, and within its scope contains more information than any other whleh has come under our observation. Commencing with 117 the following eight pages assigned to the history, official and in his private enterprise and intercourse with the people of the colony, gives an account of the distinguished soldier wbo blended go harmoniously military discipline with the important civil service be rendered daring his adi-inlstra'lon, greatly promoting the Interests of tbe people and the colony. It so happens that if we were called upon to select a chapter ln the b.ok which is more charming than any otber in its narrative the choice would be tbe XV, which contains the sketch ot Governor Spots wood. This booluour friend will now find ln every household in his neighborhood, and it would bs out or place even to select from it, when tbe full text is at band for all who may want information as to tneorigin of tbe name of their railroad station and post-office.

The nature of Miss Magill's work required her to compress every subject into tbe least possible space, and It could not be expected tbat she would dwell at length on any event or person. As the first of a class or business men ln Virginia, subsequently known as tbe old Ironmasters, it may not be out of place here to add slightly to Governor Spotgwood's history as given by Miss Magill ln tbat particular, and also a reference to bis association and intimacy with hla warm friend Colonel William Byrd, of Wegtover, the ehlef or the party who ran the dividing line between the eolontes of Virginia and North Carolina. Alter Governor Spotswood had retired to his seat ln Spotsylvania county, an Interview, and the last be ween Colonel Byrd and himself, ia reported. The Colonel, having come from Wegtover on the lower James River lo pay the Ex- Governor a visit, said: "We all kept snug in our several apartments till nine except Miss Thekey, who was the housew lfe of the ramily. At tbat hour we met over a pot of coffee, which was not strong enough to give ns the palsy.

After break rast, the Governor and I left tbe ladies to their domestic affairs, and took a turn ln tbe garden, which bas notbing beauiirul, but tbree terrace walks tbat fall In slopes one below tbe other 1 let him unde stand Ihat benldes tue pleasure orpaylnghlm a visit, Icame to be instructed by so great a master in the mystery of making Iron, wherein be had led the wav and was the Tubal Cain of Virginia. He corrected me a little there, by assuring me he was not only the drat ln this country, but the first In North America who had erected a regular Inrnace." Celonel Byrd's vl-tt was ln the year General Wasnlnzton was born Governor Spotswood ln and Colonel Byrd In 1741. A.aln we direct the attention of our friend and hia neighbors to the history referred to, and so readily available, for an Instructive, as well as a charming sketch of him whose name they have honored and propose to cherish ln a new and enduring form. Hugh F. Lyle, of tblsclty, we think.first suggested the name for tbe new railroad station and post-office where we may expect to number among tbe Spkctatob's friends and read, ers all that live there and ln ths country surrounding.

The Cbnrehea. The pulpit or the First Presbyterian church was filled Sunday morning and night by Rev. S. Taylor Martin, or tbe Mecklenburg Presbytery. Mr, Martin is at present the agent for securing tbe proposed new professorsblpat the Union Theological Seminary.

Having no charge, he bas kindly consented to fill tbe place of Mr. Strider, who will be absent a month ln tbe South seeking a restoration to health. Mr. Martin is an able and learned madeamost favorable impression on tbe congregation, who consider themselves fortunate in having secured him during the absence of Mr. Strider.

At tbe Lntheran church Sunday morning the pastor, Dr. Repass, conducted tbe services. Rev Professor Turner, of the Luthervllle Seminary, Maryland, preached at nigbt. Rev. J.

H. Barb, or Waynesboro', preached Monday and Tuesday nights. Rev. J. Booker, or tbe f-econd Presbyterian church, will be absent next Sabbath.

Address Frank Thomas A Jan2B-3m Fablisbers, Baltimore, Maryland. Dynamiters In Wayne-bore'. Abont six o'clock Saturday morning last, tbe quiet or Way nesbnro' was broken at that early hoar by a lend explosive report, heard at the Shenandoah Railroad Junction and other points distant .4 mile from tbe plaoe of occurrence. It proved to be the work of real dynamiters venting their purpose on tbe boase and family of Henry Reeves, a respectable colored man residing on the elevated land north or the Chesapeake and Ohio R.llway Depot. It appears that Reeves rented rooms to two colored women with the undertandlng tbat if at any time there was misbehaviour or Immoral conduct on their part, tbey shonld Immediately leave.

Reeves became satisfied by observation and tha frequent visits of two colored men, George Tyree and John Morris, wbo were employed at tbe Crlmora Manganese tVorkg, tbat the condition upon which be had rented his rooms had been violated andaooordi ngly ordered parties to leave. Morris Insisted tbat he ahuuld relent, but Reeves remained fixed in his purpose to pretect tbe respectability of hla domicll. Finally, Morris said to Liszle Bheppard. bis paramour, thai she must leave, bat added in reply to Beeves, "You suffer for this." "You will not come to any good." "You will wiah you had never done this." It farther appsara fjom the testimony, tbat two men believed to be Tyree and Morris were seen going to Reeves's house early Saturday morning before the explosion occurred. Tbey were knwn to have ln their posse-lon.

The dynamite was placed under tbe subsill of the doorway and on top of the base sill. Tbe force of tbe explosion splintered the bass sill and lore up the floor about a yard each way ln surface, but ln rounded lines. Tha door tn blown off, all the windows and glass tbf partition torn down acd fragments of splinters driven in the walls. Some or the framing umbers were broken and dislocated and tbe windows of houses near by broken. Altogether it must have been an appalling scene for the Inmates of tbs house to pass through.

Tyree and Morris were promptly arreated by tbe Waynesboro' authorities. Meade F. White, Commonwealth's Attorngy, was sent lor. He investigated the matter promptly, and tbe partieg. Tyree and Morris, are now in tbe County jail awaiting indictments by a grand jury, which will not in regular course be till August, but Judge Stout may order a special jary for the next term of tht court.

W. proprietor of tha Mc Arthur Enquirer, says "AVER'S HairViook is a most excellent preparation for the hair.

1 speak of it from my own experience. Its use promotes the growth of. new hair, and makes it glossy and soft. The Vigor is also a sure cure for dandruff. Not within my knowledge has the preparation ever failed to give entire satisfaction." Mr.

Anois F.vititiAin*?, leader of tho celebrated Fairbairn Family of Scottish Vocalists, writas from liostmt, Feb. 8, 1880: Ever since my hair began to give silvery evidence of the change which Heating time procuret.li, I hare used Avi.it's li.ua Vigor, and so Lave been able to maii.taia au appearance 5 hi allies. a matter of considerable oonsequence to ministers, orators, actors, and in fact every one who' lives in the eves of the public."

On using Aykr's Hair Vigor the falling stopped and a new growth commenced, and in about a mouth mv head was completely covered with short liair. It lias continued to grow, and is now as good as before It fell. 1 regularly used but oue bottle of the Vigor, but now use it occasionally aa a dressing." We have hundreds of similar testimonials to the efficacy of Aver's Hair Viooe. It needs but a trial to convince the most skeptical of its value.
