TRxrERAScE AppREss-In accordance with pre-
yious notice, Mr. J. r. Lewellin Of Petersburg. on
Thursday night last, delivered an address At Tenn
perance Hall on the all important subject OF lem
perance We were not present on the occasion,
hut have heard the effort Of Mr.. l.. spoken OF IN
yerv Aattoring terms BY those who were so fortu-
nate Al 10 be in attendance. In consequence Of
tho inclement weather, the turn out was not as
large ~ the friends Of temperance could have de-
sired.
Years ago. Mr.. l.. was on apprentice to the
priuting business in this Office, where he gradua-
ted with the highest honors of the Draft. Since
that time, he has been connected with several
different papers in the State, and is at present ed
itor of the Temperance Conductor, an able and
jealous advocate Of Total Abstinence, published
in the city of Petersburg. The Conductor is the
organ of the Sons of Temperance of Virginia, and
we cordially commend it, and its editor, TO the ia
vor Of our Temperance friends
'Hor. '-Among the gaities of the present gay sea-
son, there has been nothing more successful or more
agreeable than the party given Thursday evening
by the hosptabe proprietor OF the Norveil House.
OF course the weather was wretched as 1t always
is on such occasions, but in spite OF drowning
rain and fathomless mud. the spacious ballroom
was we'll filled with happy young people, whose
happy young faces locked merry Christmas
while their "many.twinkling feet ohcyed the
dance-provoking strains oil three hddlcrs' whose
reputation is as widely and justly extended. as
that OF the trio, famed in song who dscoursed
sweet music to his late lamented majesty King
Cole"
Wo may safely say That if there was any guest
who failed to have good time. it was unquestion-
ably his or her own fault The dancing was much
enjoyed, and the floor we'll filled without being
over-crowded; the music was good the guests
pleased and orderly, and the supper beyond oil
praise both as regards its materials and the admir-
rable way in which it was served. Mr. Kennedy
deserves, and doubtless has the gratitude and good
will Of all his guests for thus unsolicited contrib
uting 90 much to the pleasures of pleasant sea-
son. and We sincerely trust that the Norvell House
under his skillful management, may receive the
patronage GO which, first class city hotel, 1t Is
30 justly entitled.
