ASCENT OF MONT BLANC BY A LADY.-A let.
ter from Chamounix, of the 1st in the Savoy Ga.
zette, says:
The great event of the day here is an ascent
OF Mont Blanc, commenced yesterday morning at
eight O'Clock, by "a Mr.. Forman, an Englishman,
and his daughter They arrived safely at the
Grands Mulets at three in the afternoon, and by
the light OF lanterns. left this morning at two to
ascend the giant of the Alps. At ten o'clock the
small party arrived on the crest of the highest
mountain in Europe, and after halt of an hour.
left their return, and reach this place at seven
in the evening. This ascent will be talked of as
one of the wonders of the valley, both on account
of the short time employed (fifteen hours to as
cend and seven 10 descendO and of the intrepdity
shown by Miss Forman, of whom the guides speak
in rsptures. This young lady is the fourth female
who has performed this feat. The progress of the
tourists was eagerly watched during the whole
day, and every window that commanded view of
the path was bristling with telescopes like mus
kets from a loophole. The arrival at Chamounix
was perfect triumph. Ali the Inhabitants and
resident foreigners went out to meet them, and
the whole re entered the place headed by the band
of the guides in full costume, and amidst salute of
cannon.

DEATH OF A WELL KNOWN NATIVE OF VIR.
GINIA-The American Banner, of Columbus,
Miss, records the death of Judge John Moore, for
mery of Lexington, Geo, in the seventy seventh
year of his age The Banner gives an interesting
biographical sketch of Judge Moore, who was
born in Prince Edward county, Va, on the 22d
September 1873, and was the second son of Maj
Joseph Moore, proprietor of the old tavern so
famed throughout the revolutionary war as
"Moore's Ordinary" and for many years the sher-
ff of that county under the Colonial Government.
While student at Old Hampden Sydney, John
Moore was hearer Of the celebrated discussion
between Patrick Henry and John Randolph-the
last speech of Henry, and the first of Randolph
at Charlotte G. III. About 1901, having married,
he removed with the widowed family of his father
to Lexington, Geo., and after long and active
career in that State, moved to Mississippi in 1886,
where he maintained and exhibited the character
he had previously acquired of dignifed indepen-
pose.
