ALTMNI <iRAT<>U FOR NEXT YEAR?IMPORTANT MOVE TO INCREASE THE 1N1 KHKST1N THE MEETINGS?IMPORTANT ACTION OF THE BOARD OF TRU8TEES? OENERAL LEE. Lexington, Va., .Tune 25,1ST0. I promised a few more "scraps" from the ?? Commencement Week." The Society of Alumni elected as their orator f??r the next year Colonel Kieley.ol' Irederickburir, who graduated in 1801, went out as private in the " Liberty Hall \ olunteers," and soon rose to the rank of lieutenant-colonel and assistaut adjutant"eneral in the War Department, lie is >aid to possess decided talent, and will no doubt make a line address. Under the leadership of the newlyelected president (Colonel Bolivar Christian) measures have been devised looking to the increased interest and usefulness of the \hmini meetings. It is intended hereafter to hav? the elnef interest of the occasion . t ntre in the meeting of the Society, and not in the supper-?to subordinate the festive to fraternal intercourse and to consideration of the means of building up Alma Mater. The details have not yet been nilly decided upon, but it is determined to have next year a gatheiing which even the most fastidious can attend. The alumni of .Judge Brockenbrouglrs law school have formed an association, which it is designed formally to unite with the association of the college proper. It i* designed to celebrate this union by a poem from one of our most gifted poets and other suitable exercises. The election of M. W. Humphries?M. A. "t' last session?Adjunct Professor ot Ancient Languages has given the liveliest satisfaction. It is regarded not only as a well-merited compliment to one ot the best scholars and most worthy gentlemen (none the le- worth v because of his gallant bearin.' :iv a member of the famous Rockbridge \ i~t tilery) ever sent out from the institution, but as also indicating the purpose of the Hoard to promote worthy men among their graduates. . The Boaru also made provision for the appointment of Adjunct Professors- 111 Kntrli>h and Applied Chcinistry until tlic\ can see the man for these important positions. We hear that l)r. Pratt, ot Chailcston, S. C.,?a very distinguished chemist and man of science?is spoken of in connection with the Professorship of Applied Chemist rv. Your correspondent did not send you last spring anv account ot the action ot the Board in reference to making General Le<?** position more comfortable because he did not think it proper to publish it. As, however, it u'Ot into the Lynchburg papers in rather an exaggerated form and went the rounds of the press, 1 have, upon consultation with friends ol the College, determined t . -end you the tacts. It is generally known that General Lee has always refused to receive gratuities of any kind?that just !is duringtbc war he refused to receive a bouse trow the city of Kichmond, and nobly said to the Council, " ir vou have benefactions to l^stow, give them to my private soldiers, who arc more needy and more deserving than myself," so since the war, though robbed " of his patrimony, he has stcad-ta.-tlv refused to receive presents that have hceii offered him. His conduct in this respect has been very strikingly like that ol Washington. . ? . Tin- Hoard of Trustees of the College have found it. therefore, very difficult to make -it'h provision for General Lee as they have h it due alike to him, themselves^ and the public, lie has declined to receive such salary as the Board thought he ought to have, and they have been puzzled to know what to do. , During his absence they had a meeting, at which they settled upon Mr?. Lee for life the house "in which the General now lives and an annuity of $8,000. At their recent meeting the Board re- ( tived u letter from General Lc6 in which (on behalf of Mrs. Lee) he very respectfully but firmly declines the proffer. After a full consideration of the matter t he Board have, as delicately as possible, d? eided that they must adhere to their original action?t hat they cannot sutler the risk of any contingency in which the faintly of our loved and honored chieftain might suffer. They insist tliat this is not a " gratuity," but the payment of a very sitiall part of the debt which the College, the State, and the country at large, owe to the distinguished patriot who has devoted himself so earnestly and so successfully to the educ;u turn of the youth of the land. The Board have also elected a private secretary to the General, with a view ol

The commencement exercises of.V jthanv College began June 14t.h and closed on the 16th. Despite the unfavorableness of the weather, which vas rainy, it was a stand affair, and largely attended by people of this and adjacent Statosi The general features of this, like other commencements, were dense crowds, music, confusion of tongues, arrav of beauty, assembly of leariunir, merit, and manhood; conferring of diplomas, and noisy demonstrations of " sophs " and " fresh " given to successful aspirants. An able and interesting lecture upon " Rome as seen from St. Peter's " was delivered by W. T. Moore, of Cincinnati, on Wednesday evening before the Alumni Society. The" exhibition of the American Society came oft the next evening, and its bill of faro was served up in such a manner that the most hypercritical of the literary epicures was pleased. On Thursday, long before the college bells rang, the vast crowds of both sexes were to l>c seen wending their way up through the campus to the commencement hall. Scattered through the large and res fined assembly; were beauty, grace, youth, manhood, and dignity of character, mingled in rare proportions. President Pendleton presided at the exercises. A majority of the speeches were of a deeply interesting character, evincing more than ordinary thought and pnrity of sentiment. The most noticeable feature, however, of the whole performance was the absence of sophomorie bombast. This equality, so characteristic of college productions, was supplanted bv good sterling common sense clothed in elegant though not pedantic diction. The distinct utterance and graceful delivery of the orators -bowed that these requisites'of good speaking had not lH>en neglected. The graduating class numbered fourteen, and represented seven States, lie low we give their names: U. N. Mertz, nf Ohio; W.S. Atkinson, of Ohio; II. W. List, of West Virginia ; W. C. Lyne, of "Virginia: W. C. Gaus, of Ohio ; G. J. Anderson, of Virginia ; G, X. Tillman, of Tennessee ; F. II. Mercer, of Tennessee ; R. W. Thomas, of Texas; B. II. Havden, of Michigm ; B. W. Peterson, of West Virginia; \V. H. Sixmcer, of Kentucky ; A. Wells, of West \ irginia ; and J. G. Hawlev, of Miciuimn. W. S. Atkinson carried off the first, and II. X. Mertz the second honor. President Pendleton's baccalaureate address was chaste and elegant in diction, Mid, abounding in practical truth, was recci ed with universal commendation. The Neotrophian Society gave their nnual exhibition last night. Its enter ta.iment was excellent throughout.

Enu.. letter from JnrneN City Connty. Correspondence of tho Richmond Dispatch. Burnt Ordinary.) James City county, Ya. > The peauut crop of this county is a failure. Owing to the luto miny spell the seed came tip so badly that they have been ploughed up, and the land planted in corn or beans. Doubtless those persons who were so fortunate as to get a staud will find them to be a gold mine. The wheat has been harvested, and, bating the cockle, is a success. The corn is looking well, the grass better. Captain Minor's little vessel, plying between the Chickahominy and Richmond and Petersburg, lost her deck-load of molasses la<t Friday near Harrison's bar. Several barrels and one tierce are at the bottom of the James, ready to do their part in making what my grandfather considered an excellent drink tor harvest hands. lie used to say, " Boys, there is no better drink follow in hot weather than molasses water. I i am old, and mint julep is more suitable for me." The cargo was not insured, but Captain Minor has liberally consented to make good the loss. * Peninsula.

Taylor's Farm.-Sheriff Mayhew tells us that all is quiet ;it Taylor's farm, and that the negroes are all moving away as rapidly as they can get off. A great many of the farmers in the neighborhood have arranged to accommodate squads of them on their lands, to secure their labor, while a large portion of them have accepted of a proposition from General Butler to settle on his land, in the neighborhood of Hampton, their settlements to be paid for in so many years.-Norfolk Day Book.

The ceremony was conducted by Bishops Johns and Whittle, and the ordination sermon was preached by Rev. Dr. Gibson, of Petersburg. Eight ministers and four deacons were ordained. A number of prominent ministers trom "Washington, Georgetown, and Baltimore, were present. The Wheat.?It is not well to " whistle until one is out of the woods," and so we forebore to brag of our great lioanoke wheat crop until all possible contingencies had passed. But it is even exceeding our expectations. The grain is excellent, and the quantity surpasses any yield for the last ten years. The majority ot our farmers have linished their harvest.?Salem Ledger. The WnEAT Crop.?Wc are glad to learn that the wheat crop throughout this county is a good one, and the indications are that the yield this year will be greater than for several years. Some farmers have already commenced harvesting, and but a few days will elapse before the entire crop will be ready for the reaper. Corn, tobacco, oats, and rye, look very promising, and an abundant yield is certain.?Fearisburg Gazette. The W u e a t.?A private note from a farmer in the neighboring county of Amherst says: "I have just iinislied my harvest, and am much disappointed. Fully one-third less than my count; and persons who saw my crop, and who had travelled from Kichmond to Big Lick, said it was the best crop they had seen. If it is with all as with me there will not be more wheat made this year than last."?Lynchburg liepublican. .McFarland's Divorce.?Daniel McFar" land has returned to New York from Chicago.

A McFarland Case that .Resulted in a Conviction.?In Troy, IS. Y.. last week one Cosier was tried before Juclge Hogeboom for fatally stabbing a man named Keardon for seducing his wife. Cosier had freely declared after the stabbing that he intended to have killed his victim, and was defended, lir.st, on the ground of "justifiable homicide"; second, 011 that of "emotional insanity." Judge Hogeboom scouted the lirst idea, and conlined the insanity plea to cases in which the lull knowledge of the guilty connection burst suddenly upon the injured man, producing an immediate and unpremeditated assault. The jury on Saturday stood ten to two for conviction, and being sent out again, returned him guilty of murder in the second degree. .He was sentenced to four years. The Judson Building, at Rochester, New York, was partially burned Saturday. Newman Hall has declined a call to a Chicago pulpit with a salary of $10,000. Joseph F.

Mr. Dillard in the mean time recovering from the stun he had i we?fc tn assistance of Mrs. Williford, and seeing the bundle of clothes ?.n the table m a blaze, seized them and threw them out of the door, not knowing theLr precious contents.

Her hands, arms, face, and breast, are most severely burned, and the Doctor regards her situation as dangerous, although good nursing alid management may save her life. Dr. Marriott thinks it probable, however, that she will never regain the use of her hands and one of her arms. Destructive Fibe in Readino, Pa.?

He is going to San Francisco after Congress, adjourns; Mrs. Sherman, with severai of her children, will spend the summer at Oakland. The testimony in the Hatch-San DomingoBabcock investigation, reported List Saturday to the Senate, is provoking a great deal of remark and severe criticism upon Gene? ral Grant for permitting Babcock to pledge the President to lobby with the senators for the ratification of the treatv before it should be officially presented to the Senate, Tile language of the agreement signed by Genenil Babcock as special agent of the President is as follows : " His Excellency General Grant. President of the United States, promises privately to use all his influence in order that the idea of annexing the Dominican Republic to the United States may acquire such a degree of popularity among members of Congress as will be nece.?ary for ite Accomplishment, and he offers to make no communication to that body on the subject until he shall be certain that it will be approved by a majority.'' This protocol has been long in the Stale Department, and it is of such a character as must have arrested the attention. of Generai Grant if it hiul been read to him. it is alleged by some that the President could not have been familiar with the protocol, or he wotild haVti rejected that p;irt above quoted in which he undertakes to lobby the treaty through Congress. Others insist that he was well advised of its contents and purposes, and that his visits to 'the capitol, and conferences there with the Senate, besides the interviews he invited on the subject at the White House, were in pursuance of the agreement to do the lobby business. The mild form of criticism is to the effect that General Grant, in this connection, has degraded the office of Chief Magistrate of the United States. Upon the other hand, his friends say they see nothing improper in what he did or promised to do. Wallace. Associated Press telegrams. Congressional. "Washington, June 27. ? House. ? Bills were introduced regulating the manufacture of brandy from fruits ; establishing a department of the revenue; punishing the collection of illegal taxes from passengers; authorizing the issue of four per cent, bonds convertible into legal-tenders and vice ver?a; instructing the Ways and Means Committee to report a bill reducing the salt tariff fifty per cent.

The House was engaged on appropriation bills, chiefly affecting the District of Columbia. The currency conference reported substantially as sent in the telegram of Saturday. Senate.?'The Senate took up the House revenue bill. Mr. Sherman, from the Finance Committee, stated that the loss of the income tax would require the continuance of the existing tariff on sugar and the tax on gross receipts. The servile labor bill (otherwise, Chinese labor bill) was made the special order for Friday. Night sessions were opposed by many senators on account of the feebleness of their own health. The Secretary of the Treasury was requested to communicate information regarding captured and abandoned property. The tax bill was resumed, and the income tax discussed. An amendment taxing salaries was adopted. A motion to continue the present tirlff on sugar and the tax on gross sales was defeated. Without definite action on the bill the Senate adjourned. The Senate is to-night considering the Southern Pacific Railroad bill. Various Items. Washington, June 27.?The revenue receipts to-day were $1,250,000.

This is exclusive of the regular monthly sales of Secretary Boutwell. W. A. Richardson will relieve Secretary Boutwell during his summer trip. He has resigned, but his resignation will not be accepted pending the summer recreations of Mr. Boutwell. The Star also contains this unpleasant statement: "It is understood that orders will be issued authorizing the assignment of white recruits in the JSmth and Tenth regiments of cavalry, now composed of colored troops. The object of this is to keep the regiments up to the numerical standard in view of the constant demands upon this arm of the service. It is only with great difficulty that colored recruits are obtained.'' The Mexican commission assembled today. l)r. Lieber, of New York, has accepted the position of umpire.

Special telegram to the Dispatch. Final Celebration of the Washington &oeiet$:; UNITEK8ITY OP VlRGlHIA, Jlllie27. The Fubllc Hull was crowded to its utmost capacity to-night to attend the final celebration of the Washington Society. The illumination and decorations of the Hall were splendid* and the array of beauty daz2ling? .After the (usual marching ecremomonies, the exercises Were ifcttoauced with prayer by Rev. George B. Taylor, Chaplain of the University. The President, Mr; McKennie; of Florida, greeted the audience and presented the debater's medal to Mr. Linden Kent, of Louisa county, Va., who received it in a neat and appropriate little speech, which Was very arracefully delivered. He said : As the "representative of the Washington Society I have the honor to announce that Mr. Lmden Kent; of Virginia, Is declared to be the best debater of the session of '09 and '70, for which he is now to receive this medal. We bestow it not for its intrinsic value, but as a just reward of merit?ol xao.-i* acknowledged by the impartial suffrages of otir Soeieiy~of merit tested for months in the forum of debate. To you, sir, [addressing Mr. Kent] in the name of the Washington Society I tender, this testimonial of their appreciation 0f your ability as a debater. Accept it, and may it incite you to yet greater exertions. Remember that the contest is just begun I Remember that the success of which it is a token Is but the earliest of still prouder vie;tories to be achieved upon the world's )>road field of battle. Accept it, and when, in the day of prosperity, you gaze upon it may your ambition be stimulated, yet chastened by the reflection that though it is the guerdon of unwearied perseverance and noble endeavor nothing great is lightly won. Mr? Mcliinuie continued in the suine strain to tile conclusion* Mr. Kent replied as follows : Mr. President and Gentlemen of the Washington Society,?1There is no one among you who does not remember the eagerness with which he sought the glittering 7>rizc that his childish faucv had placed at the end of the g!ow<ng rainbow ; and as childhood has grown into manhood, as tlic illusory anticipations of early life have been dispelled like the tints of the morning rainbow* as we have been stilted from that miniature world to the larger one; which expands in unmeasured leagues before us, and over whose untravelled wastes many of us are to-ni^ht commencing the journey, by every act, in every desire, we are but manifesting in different manners and by dif* ferent expressions the existence still of that same spark which) kindled on the altar of the heart of childhood, can never be extiit* mushed or smothered by the sterner reall

ties of matured years. Through all the vicissitudes of life the chief cause of man's happiness is found in the cheering anticipation of reward with which the future is bright. And to-night I would claim no exemption from this feeling, which alike stimulates and sweetens the toil of the lowly peasant as he hope* fully looks forward and cheerfully walks on amid the placid obscurity of his poverty, which encourages and strengthens the student when Ins heart, fainting under the burden, is electrified by the inspiration of its touch as he contemplates a reward to which labor will have imparted an additional lustre and a superior dignity ; or Whether manifested in almost its divine form, as, when amidst the trials and persecutions of life, it comforted the apostle and enabled him at its close to look triumphantly from earth to heaven and exclaim with rapture upon the work accomplished as he left it to receive that reward which awaited him in a higher sphere. But when to-night, amid the brilliant scenes of this festal occasion, to winch music hath lent the power of harmony* and beauty by its 6weet enchantment lights the way to joy, 1 receive from the hands of those with whom I have been united in affection this golden testimonial, precious though it shall be as a reward of any humble merit 1 may possess, yet dearer far to me as a token of your esteem as?a seal of your frieihlship-^it will ever be associated with the sunniest days of my existence ; and whether disappointment shall darken my hopes or success shall crown my efforts it will alike recall, as with magic power, the happy scenes, the cherished friendships, of my youth, ere the pure love, the generous impulses of the heart, have been chilled or blighted by the interested calculations of a more sellish manhood. And in the words of kindness and encouragement in which you, sir, have presented this gift I recognize that same spirit which rendered so pleasant my connection with the Society over which you worthily preside ; and be assured that in pursuing the aims of life your warning shall ever be heeded, for in this honor, whilst I discern the quality which would create a feeling of satiety and inaction unworthy a man, yet I behold in it that higher power winch invites to a purer and a nobler manhood^ Then, gentlemen, I accept it with the promise that in lile's contest it shall be a constant reminder of life's ends and life's aims. Uniting the anticipations of the future with the memories of the past, T receive it no less as a testimonial of your appreciation of my past efforts than as an assurance of your sympathy in my future labors. It will smooth the rough places in life's pathway; it will light up the dark valleys through which T may walk, and impart an exquisite refinement to the joys that the future may possess. And as with to-night closes the scenes which it shall recall, I bid you all an affectionate adieu. "Like the islands that slumber on the ocean/' secure from the waves that roll and dash against their sides, may 11 wish for you all on life's stormy ocean a protection and security against the billows of passion and temptation that beset you. Aud remembering that there can be no true virtue where it is not tempted?no carnago where there is no danger?may the trials of life but serve to exalt your characters?to perfect your lives as you advance higher and higher in the development of your natures, acquitting yourselves on the world's held of action as sons worthy of our noble Alma Maler, who sends inanv of you forth to-night richly laden with lier gifts to assist in lending the " land we love '? from the darkness of night which envelopes her. Aud as the stars shine brightest when the midnight gloom Is darkest, so may your lives more resplendency shine in this the darkest hour of your country's liberty.

Z^angUfi fromlVfrgfS iTabstrnt of wboae addrew we^veTfie.m^^ddW^j had some fine passages In his Address, and some hits which ettraedtbemoflft rapturous applause and cheers. . " '; ' { . ABSTBicT or raa mu obatxo*; ' Subject: Science not Science. After a brief but appropriate exordium the speaker proceeded to define his subject?viz., Before any subject can be organized scientifically It is requisite to know aff the facts within its scope, their relations and laws. This simple statement, in the present imperfection of our knowledge, indicates distinctly enough the lowly position or our sciences when measured by the altitude of perfect science. ? ';>< 1 It is the fashion to extol the achievements of the age. I extol the achievements of the ages to come. The achievements of the age are, however, a convenient theme.' How they startle and impress us! The past is out of sight, and has no orator except in the meagre dialect of history . The future is revealed only to the prophets. The ail-absorbing nou>?looming, stirring,? astonishes the senses, chains the attention, and prepossesses the understanding. And, besides, we are beguiled by an optical illusion. forgetting that objects near us look vastly larger than distant ones of the same dimensions; The ago is the fcrodiict of preceding ages?the achievements of the age are the result of all the force that bears upon it, and these are largely antecedent. If the Genoese Columbus had not discovered America in 1402 some other Columbus would soon have made the discovery, for in the increase and diffusion of knowledge the reason of man was rapidly driving to the conclusion that inspired mm. If at a later period Capernicus had not revived forever the true theory of the solar system some other astronomer Would soon have accomplished that result, for the inconsistency of the Ptolemaic theory, with observation, would have left the minds of men no alternative but the truth. The Laws of thought ;ire as sure as the laws of light. Then followed the argument to show that science was known to the ancients, a proposition which is sometimes doubted, but also to show, upon a comparison with the present development of science, that ancient Science hiirdly deserves the name. Then a slight allusion to the political state of the country. The man of the telescope points the in* strument to the vacant sky, and instantly It sparkles with worlds never seen by man before. He exchanges the eye-glass for one of still higher power, and still tresh objccts enter the lield of his enraptured vision; and when he has applied the maximum power df the instrument, away beyond what he beholds his strained eye catches some bewildered line that tens of some hidden wonders longing to be revealved. His successor, with Improved glasses, extends the discoveries only to know that he, too, has almost discovered what still eludes him, of which the struggling conception swells his heart and exalts his nature. He feels then the grandeur of ?Ts incapacity, and illustrates the truth of the adage> "He Is a. wise man who knows he is a fool." or, by figure, the sentimont of Friul, When lam mjaKthcn I am strong." Just so it ism every department of scientific observation and thought* In every direction from the kingdom lenmon the mind presses hard upon the boundless regions of the unknown, advancing its standards, and?a spiritual Columbus?claiming possession in the royal name : but its greatest thought, its loftiest conception, is of the littleness of its possessions contrasted with magnificent, illimitable fields beyond. As illustrative examples of the general propositions maintained by the speaker, he glanced at philology# geology, astronomy, botany, and the science of duty. - The" speaker made the following excellent point on geology : . .. J But so long as our geology-man hints a discrepancy between God's record of His SV\>fcd and His works; so long as he assumes to know more about what occurred ton thousand centuries before he was born than the omniscient} so long as he maintains as demonstrated that certain forms of animal life havo been extinct millions of years, and the next hour presents the very animals alive, dredged from tho noof of the deep sea; so long as he remains almost wholly ignorant of the caverns ot' Old Ocean, and knows very little evcu of tho surface of the land ; so long as he has flailed to penetrate earth's crust more than one four-hun-dredtii of thflkdistance to the cenii'S, *uid so far only by a few pin holes } so long as the ploughshare goes into the earth about as deep as his iutelligcncc?so long as all this remains what presumption of presumptions to claim for geology tho rank of absolute science* The granite ;boulder, strangely out of place upon the limestone mountains a thousand miles from its native bed. could it speak, could tell you, O, geologist, more than all you know ! The murmuring seashell.?the poet says?carry it where you may, sings forever of the murmuring sea. Of what uuthoughtrof seas the fossil-shells of yon Blue Itidge would sing had they a long, long memory and a voice ! The orator then gave us a stirring peroration, exhorting his audience, especially the young, to enter upon the noble work of evolving and organizing under the poweroi human knowledge as it concerns nature, man, and God, and concluded with beautiful valedictions to the retiring members of his Society, the Jcflerson Society, the audience generally, the professors of the University, and the ladies especially. The lawn to-night was most brilliantly illuminated. Tho houses of professors, furnished with refreshments, were open to every comer, and the Lawn was tilled with promcnaders until a late hour.

Anniversary of the Yonngr Men's Christian Association of the University of Virginia. The anniversary meeting of the Young Men's Christian Association of the University of Virginia was held last night in the public hall, which was well tilled with an appreciative audience, consisting of .the students, facility and tneir families, a large number of strangers who are here to attend the finals, and citizens of Charlottesville? the churches there being closed. Their hall was brilliantly illuminated with the jBfasjete. The music was by an eclectic choir, composed of the Baptist and Presbyterian choirs in the town, both somewhat famous I for their performances, and wad in exceed

in "good taste. The sermon was preached, accordingto appointment, by Rev. M. D. Hoge, D.D., of your city. The reverend gentleman eschewed the desk or table, and stood on the platform with nothing between him and the audience. His text was : "None of us liveth to himself. No man dieth to himself." (Romans, Utli chapter and 7th verse.) He began by saying if he had made a picture, as 31r. Elder had done, or a statue, as Mr. Valentine had done, he would claim the statue or the picture as his own. If he could endow the statue with life he would ! still claim it as his property. This was just I what God did in our case, except that we ! are bound to Him by a three-fold cord,? creation, preservation, and redemptionarid none ol' us had a right to live to himself. The preacher then proceeded to show that no man could live without exciting an influence for good or evil, and that unconscious influence was often the most powerful. He spoke of two great laws?the law of diffusion and the law of transmission. The consequences of actions extended far as well as near, and for generations, perhaps forever. These ideas were illustrated by many historic facts and incidents, some of which, told in Dr. Hoge's impressive "fetyle, were truly affecting; indeed, the entire sermon was characterized by well-selected and well-arranged pictures, which arrested and held the attention of the audience for an hour. It was eminently simple and unpretending, and evidently aimed at usefulness rather than show. I learn that it produced a line impression, as., indeed, it must have done. The following is a list of graduates in medicine : A. P. Belew, R. B. Christian, E. Deve, W. B. Davis, M. Go?s, John Noble, W. C. JSixon, J. H. Neff, J. A. Pritchett, J. M. K. Simmons, George H.
