MusicAL.-Mss Gibbs and her troupe are highly
praised by the Richmond or tics. Miss G. is said to
be not only an excellent singer, but very pretty
woman. In that case we advise her to come to our
mountain city. The Iynchburgers are very fond of
good music, and run nad over pretty woman
troupe, consisting of Prof. Johnson Miss White
house. Miss Rawson, and Prof Frost are singing a,
Charlottesville Some month ngo we had the plea
sure of hearing this troupe in Alexandria, and can
assure readers that both the ladies are young and
prctty-one Is really very pretty They sing fairly
well, too and with little practice, would sing very
well. We would rather see them here than fifty
thousand Niger concerts.
May we not count upon visit from each of these
troupes?
MONTGOMERY IRoN MAxuFAcToRY.--It gives us un-
fegned satisfaction to announce that company of
gentlemen from Pennsylvania long experienced in the
iron business, have made and mpleted all neceSsa
arrangement to enter largely into the manufacture
of iron in this county. Sites for Rolling Mills and
Furnaces have been secured Immediately on the Va.
and Tenn. Railroad about fye miles from Christians
burg.
No Company in the State is possessed of greater
facilities Tor making their enterprise prosperous and
remunerative than this in Montgomery. They
have secured immense deposits OF iron and coal of
the best quality neither of which is distant more than
two aud half miles from the furnaces The
beds, which are south of the railroad are distant
about mile and half from the furnaces. The
coal which is north Of the road is distant about two
miles Thus in Of three and half miles square,
is contained coal iron lime stone water power
in short everything necessary for the successful mnn-
ufacture of iron.
We hope this is but the military step towards the
speedy development of the mineral resources of
this section of the State; in which recognize the
dawning of brighter day for the Old Dominion

THE Pre- EN- SEScE OF WoMEN.-Even after death
nature respects her inherent modesty, for drowned
woman floats on her face and drowned man upon
his back The nobest part of human being is
the head but the mans head is liable to badness,
women is never bald. The mans face is often made
SO by most odous beard, and so covered with
did hairs that il is scarcely to be distinguished from
the face of wild beast in woman on the other hand,
the face always remains pure AMI decent. For this
women were by the laws of the twelve tables,
forbidden to rub their cheeks lest hair should grow
and obscure their blushing modesty. But the most
evident proof of the inna purity of the female is
that woman having once washed ia clean, and if
she wash in second water, will not soil it-bnt that
man is never clean, though he should wash in ten
successive waters he will cloud and infect them all.

Fauquier county paid into the Treasury in 1856,
