Miss. Gibbs.

We have been gratiied to notice many favor
able notices of our fair county woman, Miss
Mary Masse Gibbs, who is just entering upon q
professional career of brilliant promise. Her
concerts in Richmond elected the highest en-
comiums of the press ard are said to have afford
ed entire satisfaction to those who attended,
The Enquirer, speaking of her second concert,
says she equaled Parodi in her rendering OF the
air from II Trovadore,b by Verdi. Her soul was in
her singing and the warm plaudits of the au-
dence demonstrated its eminent success. We
confess that we were charmed with the entire
performance and only regretted that the house
was not packed above and below. We hear
that Miss Gibbs will not give another concert
here, and we regret it; for there are many OF
our citizens who have not yet heard her who
would be glad of the opportunity. She goes,
we believe, first to Petersburg, thence to Lynch
burg, and thence will turn her face Southwark,
taking Wilmington, N. O., and Charleston, s.
c., en- route. In advance, we bespeak for her
kindly welcome from our brethren OF the press
and the Southern public generally.

Terrihle Snow Storm.

Such day as last Sunday, was probably new
er experienced in this region before. The snow
commenced falling about o'clock Saturday
night, and continued without intermssion for
more than twenty.four hours, the wind blowing
gale the whole time. Doors and windows
were no barriers to the penetrating blast, and
the snow entered at every crack, forming drifts
in the interior of dwellings. Every body was
house bound, aud during the day vision was
confined to a range of few hundred yards A
gentleman who observed q thermometer, exposed
ON the north side of the house, informs us that
the mercury stood at zero nearly all day. The
cars on the Central Railroad left here for Rich
mond on Sunday, as usual, and have not been
heard of since; they are probably snowed-up
between this place and the mountain. No train
has arrived since Saturday. The stages started
out Monday morning, but were obliged to re-
turn, not being able to get through the drifts.
