1t is gratifying to Us to know that efforts to
publish good paper are appreciated by its read

Mr.. EDIToR.-The great desideratum now,
apart from maintaining aohite mans gouer7s-
naent, is how to raise the money to build this
great, greater, greatest of improvements? All
have heard of A. I. Stewart, the millionaire of
New York. Many have had their respect for
him increased lately by observing that he is be-
coming his own executor and is disposing of a
part Of the seventyJfye millions he has made, in
founding home for INDECENT soonaen Of New
York, and in building comfortable dwellings for
the work people: All men court crave, desire
Immortality, and, in the language of the poet,
wish for that name, That was not born to die. .
A T. Stewart is no exception to t; this feeling Of
mortality He is shrewd, intelligent, far light
ed I doubt not he has scanned the question
of making this improvement. But this is my
idea Let the Joint Commissioners of Virginia
and West Virginia that meets tonight in Rich
mond, appoint James Lyons, Of Richmond, A.
FL. Ell. Stuart, Of Staunton, and George w.
Summers, of Kanawha, committee, personally
to wait upon Mr.. Stewart and SO to represent
the facts as they exist, in regard to this road,
and, In my opinion, he can be induced to build
1t at once. NUF CED.

REMEMBER THE POOP.

AS the rigors of winter will soon be upon US,
our citizens should make some provision for sup
plying the wants of the poor in midst. As
one OF the means of doing so, we would suggest
that the Lyceum charge for admittance when
lectures will be delivered before that body. In
TINS way, considerable sum, during tho winter,
could be raised. 1t would add greatly to the in
terest of such occasions, and would furnish an in
centive to persons to agree to deliver lectures as
they would then not only furnish an entertain
ment to the Lyceum but would be the means Of
supplying the wants of destitute citizens W :
DO not propose that this should superseda onS
other plan that may be adopted but suggest # ~
one OF the means, auxiliary to Others by which
g considerable sum could be raised, and
deal ofgood be therobvc- great
the I've ~ accomplished. Wehope
seum will consider and adopt this sugges-
ton. Whilst it will be furnishing its oono6ors
wish ''feast of reason, let it also be
the means to buy bread and wood for the desti7
tute poor.

GRAND CONCERT.

On Tuesday night last November 26th, the
"Staunton Musical Association gave a Grand
Concert for the benefit of their accomplished In
structor, DR.. j. L. Brown, in the Chapel of the
Institution for the Deaf and Dumb and Blind
Dr. j. L. Brown being conductor, and Prof Joel
Ettinger pianist. That spacious Chapel was fill
ed with ladies and gentlemen who enjoyed the
fine musical entertainment furnished them by the
Association. Those enjoyed the Concert most
who had the most cultivated ears, and the best
knowledge of the science Of music. The partici-
patton In the Concert of two blind girls, pupils in
the Institution, who have clear, sweet voices, and
who sing remarkably well, added materially to
the entertainment. We pity him whose heart is
not touched with sympathy whilst listening to
the plaintive melody of their voices, associated
with their sad misfortune

Most of the papers of this State, and many in

sert that they will be compelled to suspend pub

labor for so little compensation as publishers OF

great deal of money to publish newspaper.

Crawford has had the misfortune to have another
horse stolen. Associations for the capture Of
horse-thieves should be established in every
neighborhood, similar to the one organized in
the neighborhood of Mt. Meridian No horse
has been stolen from that neighborhood since the
organization of that Association.
A correspondent asks the question: "What
do you think of the propriety Of publishing the
names of the white-black men of the county ??
We answer, that we think the time for learning
who are the white black men" has not yet ar
