tthe regular meeting Of the Board Of Directors OF
the First National Bank held on Thursday Decem-
Der 10Th, the death of Mr.. THOMAS X. PRICE was
announced and the following tribute was offered
and unanimously adopted: H. s~ua
The directors of The First National Bank Of
Richmond Va, deplorc the death OF THOMAS r.
PRICE, late member of their Board, as a public
loss In his official relations at this Board he was
most useful for his wisdom In counsel and his
practical sagacity concerning banking and finance;
while he was enGcared to every member by the
genia lty his social intercourse Ever
for the general prosperity Of the community. he
gave Jealous support to plans for the public
& cd. AS merchant he was distinguished for
business tact and. energy, while he preserved
throughout his career a probsty and honor without
stain. He contributed largely to the reputation Of
the city for mercantile enterprise and credit. AS
he advanced in life he kept pace with the changes
andimprovemens In his branch of business, never
growing old u The usagcs of trade nor in his spirit
and energy. Endowed with graces Of person and
manner, these brightly reflected the kindness, cor.
diality and sincerity of his nature-the disposition
of a Christian gentleman. His friendships were
constant. his motives pure and elevated, and his
intercourse marked by unvarying Kindness and
urbanity. Charity crowned his social virtues, and
his warm sympath.es with the distressed and un-
fortunate showed the goodness Of his heart. The
death Of such man IS indeed a public loss and
his memory will he honored and cherished by this
Board, who knew him and appreciated him so
well. VIE
The Board tenders to the widow and children Of
the deceased ther heartfelt sympathy in the be-
reavcment which has fallen upon them. ..
Ordered that copy Of these proceedings be
communicated to the family of the deceased and
published In the daily Journals OF the city, and also
that they be spread upon the records OF the Bank.

AMUsEMENTs.-,Niss Mitchell closed her
eminently successful engagement at the new
Richmond Theatre last night. The plays
presented were "Margot" and "Toodles,' u
in each of which Miss Mitchell, and Lamb,
the favorite comedian, appeared.
A notice of the first reading of Mr. Henry
Scharf was inadvertently omitted in our is
sue Of yesterday. He read again last night
to an audience at once large, select, and ap-
preciative, and the plaudits which he re-
received testified his success. Indeed
there is no doubt that he is the best elocu-
zionist that has visited Richmond for seve-
raj years, and we would advise all who are
fond of this sort Of literary entertainment
to avail themselves tonight of the last op-
portunity to hear him. The entertainment
comes off in the hall of the House Of Dele
gates, Capitol building.
The public need not be reminded that
the short season Of Laura keene's New
York company at the Theatre commences
tonight. The plays selected are, fortu-
nately, such as will be popular with Rich
mond audience, and at the same time will
give US an opportunity of seeing Miss
Keene in her favorite roles. Tonight the
deli ghtful drama of Dion Bourcicault
&" Hunted Down." will be presented, with
Laura Keene as Mary Leigh"
Young Richmond is at the highest pitch
of excitement in view of Mss hellogg'S
concerts. There is perfect rush for tick
cts, and the sooner those who desire seats
for the first night apply at Bidgood
Riley's agency the better.

The FEAST OF HANUKAH-WHAT 1T CON-
MEMoRAFEs.-The Feast of Hanukah, which
is observed generally by all good Israelites,
commenced on Thursday evening last
that is, on the 25th day Of the month Kis-
ler, according to the Jewish calendar. This
feast, although not ordered by Divine au-
thority, from its similarity in some respects
to the Passover, &C., has been kept uI
strictly from time immemorial, for if the
Passover was the era of liberty to an en-.
shaved people, and the commencement ot
their national existence, Hanukah " COM
memorared their liberation from most
CALLING and inhuman oppression.
Hanukah commemorates the deliverance
of the Jews when the aged Matthias and
his sons raised the standard Of God with
the inscription "Me Chamocha Baetin
.4donay" who is like unto Thee among
the mighty, Oh Lord), the initials Of which
form the word Macdbee," and which was
added as the surname Of Judas. II America
can Justly boast of her Washington, 80 Cal
Israel of their Judas Maccabeus, for it wa
through his great intrepidity and wisdom
that they achieved their indepenience-Witl
but 6 700 followers gaining complete vic
tory over nearly $4,000 foot and horsemen
When the Jews, after their deliVerance
set about restoring the worship in the TEN
pie, which had been desecrated by the hea
thens, they found it in terrible condition
gates burnt, weeds in the court, and holy
vessels polluted; but they set to work tt
cleanse and repair it. But just before the
re-dedication took place it was found tha
there was no consecrated oil sufficient fol
holy use until further supply could b
made, oil that could be found being in ons
small jar, with the seal of q former higt
priest thereon; but God miraculously caused
it to be sufficient for a whole weeks con
sumption, during which time new oil wa!
prepared and consecrated.
To commemorate this chain Of events
eliminating in the miracle respecting thu
oil, the feast of Hanukah is kept up fo1
eight days, and each evening new lamp Ii
lighted, SO that every generation may know
the great deeds wrought By the Eternal tol
His chosen people.

SEVENTEEN CoNvIcTs have been received
in the penitentiary in the past ten days,
seme of them in the most ragged and filthy
condition. There can be no excuse for treat
ing these miserable creatures in such sn in
human manner. The Code of Virginia,
chapter 2lO, section 3, page 843, provides
"a court may appoint physician to at
tend prisoners in its Jail, and make him q
reasonable allowance. 1t may also, when a
person in its jail charged with or convicted
of an offence is unable to provide himself
with sufficient clothing, direct the jailor to
provide him clothing, and allow therefor
not exceeding ten dollars in one year. AL
lowsnces under this section, on being certi-
fed by such court, shall be paid out of the
treasury" For the sake of decency and
humanity We trust our courts will not send
any more prisoners to the penitentiary in
the loathsome and naked state in which
some have been recently received.
