entertained wherever he goes, South of Mason and
Dixon's line. His object now is % visit Baton

COLLECTIONS FOR THE SUFFERERs.-Capt.
B. F CHILDREY, the obliging, knd-hearted and pc.
puar Conductor of the South Side Railroad has
by his active exertons, collected 1924 for the wi
dows and children of the miners killed by the re.
cent explosion in the pits in Chesterfield. Captain
SIMS, of the Danville Road, has like sum, and is
continuing his collections.
1t has been suggested that those who have charge
of the funds for these unfortunate people, should
not pay it all at once; but should husband it in such
a manner as to do the most good.
FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE JAMEsTowN.-
The following paragraph we clip from the Norfolk
Beacon of yesterday;
Mr. Smith, brother of Captain Smith of the Angus
ia fell from the hurricane deck to the spar-deck of
the steamship Jamestown, her passage from
Richmond on Wednesday morning for this port, and
taken up insensible. On arriving in port he was
about two hours. He continued insensible up to the
time of death Dr. Higgins was called in, but the in.
juries were beyond the reach of medical skill.
By reference to the obituary department of the
Dispatch it will be seen that the funeral of young
Mr. SMITH is to take place this evening from the
residence OF his father Mr.. JNo w. SMITH.
ELECTION OF Professor IN THE MEpI-
CAL CoLLEGE.-The Visitors of the Medical Col
lege of Virginia. on yesterday evening, elected Dr.
BEVERLY r. WEXFORD, of Fredericksburg, to the
Chair of Materia Medica and Therapeutics. The
other vacant Chair of institutes and Medical Ju-
risprudence,' will be filled to-day
The election of DR.. Wexford will give great deal
Of satisfaction. We are gratifed to say, that for
both the Chairs, names OF very high standing were
presented to the Board.
Music ON THE SQUARE.-The Armory
Band intends giving one of it's delightful musical
entertainments on the Capitol Square, this evening
when it is expected that all who have not subscribed
something towards remunerating the members for
their services, will do SO at once. We ldersa and
that the Band has been engaged to play at the COM
mencement of Chapel Hill College, N. C, next
week, and consequently will not perform On Church
Hill next Monday night. On its return, however
which will be in the course of a few days musical
entertainments will be given on the Square at the
Armory, and on Church Hill. regularly once
week. Let all who attend these soirees subscribe
something, and Smith and his aid will soon possess
sufficient means to purchase silver Instruments
INTERESTING ENTERTAINMENT The la
dies should not fail to hear kunkel's Nightingale
Troupe this evening" as their soree is expected to
be unusually entertaining This Troupe is said to
be inferior to none other in the country, and has
always been extremely popular, wherever known.
Some OF the pieces sung by it are unequalled for
heart stirring melody and most of the performers
are musicians OF high standing in their profession
Exhibitions of this kind, when given by gentlemen
OF rare talent and respectabty should be literally
encouraged, and we have very little doubt that the
"Nightingales" will have crowded houses during the
remainder of the week. Those who have not yet
called on them, should do SO this evening by all
means.

have accepted an invitation from the Fredericks
burg Guard, to partake of dinner, in that town,
