INTERESTING FACTs.-We yesterday no.
ticed the annual meeting of the Sunday
school of the First Baptist church on Sun
day last. This is probably the largest
school in the South, having had an average
attendance for the year 1866 of 5s officers
and teachers, and 40 scholars. In 1865
the average attendance was 40 officers and
teachers, and 260 scholars, and in 1860, 81
officers and teachers, and $50 scholars. Du-
ring the past year there were Al conversions
ia The school. Beautiful prizes were distri-
buted on Sunday to A scholars for bringing
in new scholars, punctuality in attendance,
and Scripture recitations. Misses Nettie
Ryland and Fanny Baylor Turpin were
awarded the highest prizes for the largest
number OF new scholars brought into the
school, they having each brought in about
80. Miss Mary A. Gwathmey and Master
Willie Turpin were awarded the highest
prizes for reciting the largest number OF
verses Of Scripture.

RICHMOND ACADEMY OF MEDICINE
This institution of recent origin, promises
to be of great advantage to the medical
profession Of Richmond and the South. In
this city, which suffers SO materially for
the want of cooperation and united exer-
tions amongst her citizens, it is gratifying
to see the influential and important CON-
munity Of physicians combining for the '
cal and general good Of their profession,
and society of the South. The Academy
will exercise most beneficial influence
npon the Richmond Medical College. 1t
will stimulate the investigation into medi-
cal science, and enlarge the sphere as well
as the rewards Of inquiry.
The Academy having Just completed the
first year Of its existence, is but in Its IN
fancy. As the country is restored to pros
perity 1t will gain strength, and with the
spirit now displayed by its founders will
in few years be in fourishing condition.
It will of course gather around it with in
dustry all the means and appliances adapt
ed to the advancement of their objects,
such as library, and the various apparatus
requisite for such an institution. Thus
equipped and sustained by the immediate
support of the eminent Richmond faculty,
with the cooperation of their professional
brethren in the southern towns and rural
districts, we shall have here southern
school of medicine that will expound the
theory and practice suited to the South.
1t will have besides all the social and COM
mercial sympathies with the South to make
it altogether approved and acceptable to
the southern people.
To Richmond these institutions-the
Medical College and the Academy OF Medi-
cine-are most important, while they are
not less so to Virginia. To this immediate
community, however, the pecuniary bene-
fits flowing from them are very great, and
promise to be very much multiplied. There
are at present some siXty-odd students at
the college, and their expenditures are
very considerable. What will they be
when the matriculates are counted by hum
drcds? The medical schools OF Philadel-
phia had large share in building mp that
vast city-and those schools were chiefly
sustained by the South. Now, let the South
stand by our own southern school, and we
shall see what it may do for promoting
southern prosperity as well as southern
science.
The Academy Of Medicine last week
elected its officers for the ensuing year.
They are as follows:
President.-Robert w. Haxall, NJ. D.
Vice -Prcsdents.-B. K. Wexford, II. D.,
James Bolton, VI. D., l.. S. Joynes, NJ. d.
Secretary.-F. D. Cunningham.
Assistant Secretary.--C. W. Z. Brock.
John X. Page.
In retiring from the position of president
of the Academy for the past year, Dr.. l..
S. Joynes delivered an able and appropriate
valedictory.

DERATIyG SocIETY.-The Shockoe Hill
Literary Debating Society, which, as We
announced, was formed several months
ago, has steadily improved since its organi-
cation, and is now truly deliberative
BODY. On Monday night last an interest
ing meeting was held, and the subject dis
cussed was, " Was the execution of Mary
Queen of Scots justiiiable (" Messrs. W.
G. Pendleton, w. b. Carter, and W. +.
Ieffcw spoke in the affirmative, and Messrs.
VI. C. Brock, J. G. Ayres, and Captain
George A. Chalmers in the negative. The
subject was we'll handled by those enter
ing into it's discussion, and the debate was
very interesting. The question was de-
cidcd in the negative. The Society de-
cided to meet on every Monday.

ABOUT PooR PEoPLE.-Nothing is more
difficult than the judicious distribution ot
charity. Our city, like all others, is in-
tested with set of professional pauperS,
who hocll, like vampires at the smell OF
blood, to suck every elcemoSynary instltu-
tion as soon as its doors are opened. They
read the papers they scan the incip'cncy
of every benevolent scheme, and are at the
place of distribution, and hanging upon
the heels of the distributors before its ope-
rations are fairly begun. Tears seem to
flow at their bidding, and such are their
plausible stories, so skilful is their deceit,
that il takes q veteran in the cause Of re-
lief to discover their real character. 4
novice will not suspect that they are ac-
tually growing rich by selling what they
thus solicit.
II any one makes these statements an
excuse for drawing back his hand from the
assistance of the poor, he mistakes our
meaning. A close and careful system Of
visitation is the only satisfactory solution
of this difficult matter. There are sufferers,
and they are too many, and the means oi
the more favored classes are too limited to
Justify any careless measures which may
result in wasting gifts upon imposterS. lie
who recommends q pauper to anydiStribu-
tion, without actual personal knowledge,
wrongs both the benetactOrs, whose agent
that distribution is, and The beneiciariaS,
whom it is their design to relieve.

THE CONDITION OF THE RlVER.-The
river is frozen over at and below Rockets,
and persons were on yesterday walking
across to the southern shore. There were
also skaters upon the ice enjoying their
sport there, where skating is most eX-
traordinary occurrence. For when the
river below tide is frozen it is almost inva-
riably covered with very rough ice that
has been disrupted and compacted by the
tide.
or course it may be readily imagined
that the port is still sealed up, and naviga-
ton suspended. Neither the gay George
anna nor the solid and stout Hatteras left
their wharyes on Monday morning. They
are still fast bound in ice, and We fear will
so remain for some time.
1t is one OF the rarest events for the
river to be frozen across at Rockets. But
the ice now extends long way down the
river. 1t was reported here that there
was too much ice at City Point for naviga.
ton; but telegraph yesterday announced
the arrival Of steamer there.
With the river and the canal frozen,
there must be very great curtailment OF
business, which, indeed, was dull enough
with all the avenues of trade unob.
structed.

SUFFERING FREEDMEN.-Any one who
wants to know the straits to which these
unhappy victims of misguided philanthropy
are reduced, may form conception OF
their misery during the cold weather by
going out about twilight on the Williams
burg turnpike and seeing numbers OF them
coming in from their afternoon excursions
in search OF Wood. OF good fuel there is
none to be picked up, but by walking a
mile or more from their houses in tie Su-
burbs, each one succeeds in securing
bundle of brush or bag Of chips. II this
is their dependence for all the purposes Of
washing, cooking, and warming themselves
all night during this bitter cold weather,
their suferings must indeed be severe.

LOCAL MATTERS.

THE BoDY OF THE MURDERED BoATMAS
FouHD.-We noticed some days ago the
murder of boatman connected with a
boat belonging TO MeSsrs. Werth, Rathbun
s. Co., and the robbery of the boat and its
destruction by fire. This occurred on the
canal 4 few miles above Richmond. On
Yesterday the body OF the murdered man
was found under the ice near the stern of
the boat. Vigorous measures have been
adopted to discover the perpetrators of
this brutal murder but up to late hour
yesterday no arrests had been made. At
the inquest to he held this morning all the
facts Of the case will be developed.

THE VIRGINIA HALL VARIETIEs.-lt has
been correctly stated in some of our city
papers that party of gentlemen had
formed a design Of establishing at Virginia
Hall sort of varieties theatre, and that
for this purpose they had gone to New
York to engage performers. A dispatch
was received Monday by the proprietorS
of Virginia Hall stating that, after every
effort, it was found impossible to obtain a
suitable company, and that therefore the
enterprise would have to be abandoned.

MASCHEsTER.-It being a dull, dreary
morning, and having the usual propensity
of reporter to travel, we ventured stroll
to the "Free State" Of Manchester yes
terday. As we went over the bridge we
dropped our pennies Mt the receipt of Gus
tom, at the dollhouse, in the cver-open
hands of the obliging young man who vigi-
lantly watches the passcr-by, and con-
tinued our way to the city to see the sights
therein contained. Our eye was first at
tracted, on entering, by the sight of an i'm
provement for no,ing the streets, which
is rather ahead of "Big' Richmond" viz :
Cast-iron signs, with white letters, which
were made in Manchester. The idea was
first advanced by one of her most enter
prising citizens, Cornell Bradley, Esq. As
we wandered along Hull, tho principal
street of this burg," We recognized seve-
raj Of the familiar faces of old citizens
formerly of Richmond who are now located
sober de riber." J. V. Hardwicke, tailor,
and our old freedman, Grandson Burrell,
of peanut and pic notoriety, who used to
dispense such things under the old Colum-
bian Hotel in days of "Auld Lang Syne,"
were among them. Sizer's old hotel still
stands, but "no banner hangs upon the
outward wall" to inform the weary that
rest can be found within. The Chester
terfeld House is open to the thirsty, from
indications as we glanced in. Numerous
bar-rooms infest the place. The market
house still remains unfinished. Why, we
cannot say.
We pursued our way up the street, and
could not but smile at the many forcing
illustrations Of our Struggles" spicy
letters.
We converscd with some Of the mer-
chants, and found them ike their brothers
Of their "sister city," hard up" Trade
over there is dull, which at once accounts
for the stagnation in Richmond. But all
Of our observations and conversations were
cut short by the snowstorm, which warned
us hOmeward. If the snow had come later,
orr story of Manchester would have been
longer.
