ANOTHER FEsTIvAL.-The ladies' Of the
Third Presbyterian church, Church Hill,
have entered upon an enterprise OF this
kind, to come off in about ten days, with
spirit and energy which seem to augur
success. Their exhibition will, we hope,
prove profoundly impressive and attractive,
and accomplish all they expect and more
besides. The rccupcrativo power Of woman
in the present exhausted state OF the
churches is of vital influence and import
ance, and should he warmly encouraged.

MAGIC LANTERN. The exhibition at the
Third Presbyterian church on Tuesday
night was very instructive, and in some
parts exceedingly amusing. The lecture
room was filled, and everybody seemed
pleased. Several of the neighboring schools
were largely represented. Gray-haired
sres, matronly women, madens, and young
men mingled with the Juveniles, and all
seemed to enjoy the scene. Mr.. 7. Edwards
Converse deserves credit for his great per-
sevcrng efforts in this behalf. His delinea-
ticns of the Scripture scenes were good,
and heard with attention. The humorous
ones spoke for themselves, and evoked
profound and hearty mcrriment.

LOCAL MATTERS.

ACCIDENT AT MIDLOTHIAN Coal MINES
One MAN BURIED ALIvE-NARR0w ESCAPE
OF AN0THER.-Yesterday morning about 8
o'clock the timbers and earth OF u shaft
ut the Midlothian Coal Mines, in Chester
field county, about thirteen miles from
Richmond, on tho Danyille railroad, began
to give way and gradually cave in. There
were two men engaged at work, at a
depth Of sixty feet, named Matt Read and
his son James Read, both colorcd. As soon
as they discovered their situation they be-
gan to make efforts to get out of the mine.
James Read was successful in escaping,
but his father was caught by some timbcrs
falling on his legs, which were too heavy
for him to extricatc himself from. In this
position he was gradually covered up by
the slowly descending earth until he en-
tircly disappeared and was buried alive.
His son James Read, after getting out OF
the mine, attempted TO save his father, and
came near being caught under the de-
scending earth himself and sharing the
same fate. lie lowered the rope Of the
windlass to him, and begged him to take
hold of it and let himself be drawn out +,
but he refused to do so, saying it would
break his legs. And while the earth was
slowly but surely covering him up he could
not suffer to be dragged out, and probably
have his legs torn from his body by the
weight upon them. The groans of the poor
man were plainly heard some time after he
had disappeared, he possibly having gotten
his head in among the timbers where the
earth did not fill up closely. Workmcn
were engaged last evening in removing the
earth, but it may be two or three days be-
fore the body is recovered. The cause of
the accident is said to have been an insult
fccncy of timbcrs to prevent the earth
from giving way.

Mrs. LoOCEEEMAN'S CONCERT The con-
cert given for the benefit of this lady, at
Virginia Hail. on Monday evening, was at
tended with the most gratifying results.
| The audience was very large, and the per-
formancc very successful. Mrs. LOCKER
mans sweet and flexible voice was dis
played to advantage in the two beautiful
pieces "Cua Eocc," and go, Mia Fer
nano," which were rendered in true artis-
tic style. The female amateurs acquitted
themselves handsomely. Mr.. Grants fine
bass voice was in good tone, and he
sang I'm Happy Moments" and "The
Heart Bowed Down." not, it is true, artis-
tically, but admirably for natural vocal
ist without schooling, "Thc Conquered
Banner" q new and very pretty piece, was
we'll rendered by Mr.. Chambcrlayne. But
the gems of the cvcning-and we hope we
may say it without giving offence to the
amateurs We mean to make no invidious
distinctiOn-wcrc the instrumental pieces
by Professors De Cornell, Rcinhardt, and
.kcSSnich. The tirSt-named gentleman
gave an exquisite solo upon the harp, and
in the trio from Lucia he drew from that
instrument some of its sweetest tones. He
executed beautifully, and his fingers flew
over the strings most gracefully and with
astonishing rapidity. Mr.. Reinhardt is
fine pianist, and Mr.. kcS>nich handles his
bow most gracefully, and plays as sweet 4
violin as is usually heard. The perform
ancc on the whole was a very successful
one, and its object, We are glad to say, met
with the encouragement it deserved.
GRAND CHARITY BALL.-Thc grand ball
in aid of the Widows and Orphans Fund,
given by Benjamin Lodge No. 60, |. O. o.

dedicated to Benjamin Lodge, No. SO,
which was admirably given by Hirschberg's
fine band. This was followed up by sue
ccssion Of every style ofdances, into which
all entered with zcst and a determination
to enjoy. During the evening supper
was served to the guests, which was gotten
up Ivy Mrs. Myers, and for choice and va
ricty Of catahlcs could not be surpassed.
The table was arranged beautifully and
with great taste, and groancd under the
weight of good things. After supper, the
dancing was resumed and kept up until
the small hours of the night, when every
body went home in the full flush of enjoy
ment, and pleasant memories Of the grand
charity ball.

BELLE IsLE-TuE OLD DOMINION NAIL
WoRKS.-On Tuesday last, upon the invita-
tion of Robert +. BlaukenShip, ESQ., the
courteous and efficient agent Of the Old
Dominion Nail Works Company, a party
OF gentlemen went over TO Belle Isle to
look at the perfection TO which the manu-
facturc of nails has been brought. After
a short ride on the cars from the Danville
depot they reached til" island They were
shown the process of nail-making from
the time that the red hot mass Of crude
iron is taken out OF the furnace until it
falls into kegs made into thousands oinails
Of all sizes. First we sec Il ragged globe
of iron drawn from the furnace at a
white heat. 1t is tumbled into a lit
tie iron truck, and then carried over
to an immense trip hammer. There it is
beaten into the shape of square bar, and
from there goes to the rollers. 1t is passed
through the different sized rollers, each
one smaller than the other, until it be-
comes bar or plate Of the proper thick
ness. 1t then goes to what seems to be All
immense pair Of shears, where it is clipped
into pieces about six inches in length.
These pieces are submitted to white heat
and then sent to the machines, where about
fifty men are engaged in showing them into
machines, when they fall into the box be-
low ready made nails. The machines are
so manufactured that the nail is made and
a heading put on it at the same time. They
pour out from the machines so rapidly that
il almost bewilders the locker on. The
nails are then gathered into bins, and from
thence transferred to kegs. The kegs are
made at the works-a workman making
keg i'll seven minutes.
The Old Dominion Works employ about
250 hands, and the wages paid amount to
$2 500 per week. About 325 kegs of nails
are turned out daily. The capital stock of
the company is 100000.
The ore for fixing or lining the furnaces
is brought from Lake Champlain-a dis
tance of 800 miles. About 200 pounds OF
it are consumed daily. The island is about
sixty acres in extent, and number Of the
workmen live there. The company Is
erecting more buildings for residences for
the workIncn.
In addition to a view Of the nail works,
the visitor can see on another part of the
island the camp where the United States
solders-prisoners of war-were confined.
To the left Of that is the graveyard, where
some of the prisoners were buried. There
are very few graves, and most of them are
marked "Unknown United States Sol
der Still to the left Of this is a grave
ward of negroes, who died when there was
an cncampmcnt of the colored people over
