The heavy expenditures thus incurred in replacing and repairingibei uropertyyand paying for goods lost of injured, have been all included and charged in the cost of maintenance and operation of the Richmond and Danville road' for thc past fiscal year. It may as well be stated here that the crossing at Staunton drives' has been ?permanntly restored by the -elevation of thfc Stone piers and abutments four feet .above the former level, and the erection of a .ycrought-iron bridge pf the most im proved ana durable pattern. .Having reference to the prevailing price of ma terial, the iron, in preference to a wood en structure, was adopted on the score of economy as well as safety and dura bility. ; f - i Ttoe "audii&r's' ifeiibr isndw9;. that the ofctstanduigt bop4s y'jenincreased $2537100.

Raymond in his already celebrated characterization or Femberton Pembroke, the life insu rance agent. Raymond is the standard 01 American, comedy, and for one to ever be dis'aptWntMinMiim is one of the impossible things In Pembroke one easily recognizes Sellers transform ed into an insurance agent, and that the character is somewhat exaggerated can not be urged as?an&bjection to it In deed, m looking and listening at Ray- f mona one lorgerAtnatansaui exagger ation; and while, ,to lntl;ifiircn ever anticipate what hewiUi8aY'i'next, what he does say seems S6 exactly1 "the thing," that one wonders at not having anticipated jtfr .The character is just this naiurat&tWkifc as we have suggest ed, thete.isotn difference between Pembroke and tlie real agent, there is no difference between him and the agent as the public pictures him.

J., and was unveiled rm Thursday, the 20th inst. It bears tlie name of Jedediah Chapman, who more than one hundred and twenty years ago was installed pastor of that church. He was the minister of the flock during the revolutionary war, and was so intensely Eatriotic that his life was often in peril, rate in life he moved into Western New York, where he died. The people of Orange have done well in doing.hpn 6r to the memory of their early pastor and leader. His son, Dr. Robert Hett Chapman, was president for a time of the University of North Carolina, and hiagrandson, of the same name, is now a.nrember of thejyod of North faro lina an honored minister of the Gospel flf Christ, and a worthy descendant of a noble ancestrv. i-. m , '.
