The report of the Board of Visitors of the Deaf
Dumb & Blind Institution, at this place, for
the fiscal year lS69-70, was laid on table last
week.
The Board of Visitors ask for the following ap-
preparations from the General Assembly. An
nuity, to be permanently increased to $40, 900 !;
Special appropriations of 81, 1903 to pay Bart
lett, Robbins Il Co., of BALTIMORE Sill, 900 for
the purchase of Eastwood and $4,000 for
Laundry and Piazzas, satisfactory reasons for
which are set forth in the report Of the Princi-
pal, which, we will not permit ourselves to doubt
will be appreciated by the Legislature and the
amounts asked for appropriated.
Under the management of the accomplished
Principal, Maj. ]. G. Covell, who has spent near
life time among these unfortunate classes, this
Institution has att, ined a degree of success al
most unequalled.
There were 1913 pupils in the Institution dur
ing the year, 90 Deaf & Dumb & SO Blind, who,
outside of their study and recreation hours, have
been employed in the various work departments
and thereby, probably, promoting the excel
lent health of all the pupils during the year. In
the Work Department there are six Shops Car
penter, Tailor, Cabinet, Mattress, Broom, Mat
making and Chair-seating and Printing and
Binding, besides the Girls Sewing Room, in
which all the articles of clothing are made
Each Of these are presided over by experts and
have added materially to the saving il the cost
of expenditures, as we'll as adding to the reve-
nue. from articles sold.
This Institution, in its printing department, is
printing in raised, type, new additions of several
of the works used for the instruction ofthe Blind.
In passing, we will just add that this Insttu-
tion furnished several Institutions in Northern
States after the war; with similar text books
1t is also contemplated by the Principal to
have his Deaf Mute pupils instructed in the art of
printing with ordinary type, thus adding to the
occupations of the Deaf and Dumb.
In the conduct of the various classes of the In
stitution, in the Intellectual Department, the
teachers of which any similar Institution might
we'll be proud while in Music and painting the
pupils have the benefit of masters. The steward
of the Institution is one among many, as evil
denced by the fat and cheerful countenances that
greet you on every side. a-i
In word, this Institution well deserves the
fostering care of the State, which given amply,
we guarantee, uuder the control of Maj. Covell,
who is unsurpassed in executive ability and with
the largest experience, thatit will stand unrival-
led, in every aspect, among the similar Institu-
tions of the country.

f. Agreeaby to the request of a number of our
citizens, the Hon. James P Holcombe delivered,
in the Chapel of the D. L D. j. Blind Institu-
ton, in this place, on Saturday night last, his
beautiful and eloquent Grafton on the Life and
Character of Gen. Robert E. Lee
The Blind Band, led by the Profs Turner, hay
ing favored the audience with some of their fine
music, Col. John B. Baldwin introduced Mr..
fHolcomhe in most happy manner, saying that
Hhe knew no subject which would be listened to
more attentivey or with greater interest by Vir-
giEians than that of the Life and Character of
General Lee, and one who could do fuller
e,or more ample justice to the subject than the
gentleman whom he had the honor then to in
Ttroduce-Hon. James P. Holcombe of Bedford
county, VI"
Mi Holcombe arose and commenced the deliv-
cry of his Grafton, which, though occupying one
hour and three quarters, seemed much shorter
time to the large audience present, SO deeply
were they absorbed in the subject as given 5y the
distinguished orator. Whether in the details of
scenes in Gen. Lee's boyhood, his departure for
and his honorable passage through West Point
his valorous. deeds in Mexico, his assumption of
'"u "uneleneo W tue LOSt cause" from that
sense OF right and duty, which marked his every
act through life, the last days of his Military ca
reor and at Appomattox, his acceptance of and
.the manner in which he disch rged the duties OF
President of Washington College, or in the last
moments Of our beloved and lamented hero tie
;at'enti0n OF his auditors never tagged for mo-
ment On the contrary they seemed spell-bound,
'asit~were, by the powerful analysis, the brilliant
conceptions, and lofty eioquence of the disin-
fguished gentleman, who had assumed and so
;"hiy discharged the duty of rehearsing. to tbe
sons and daughters of Virginia, the history. life
s'S& character of the model Virginian Of our
day. lhe tiieme required an orator and fa,,rd
it in the Hon. James p Holcombe, one Of yir.
ginia's most gifted sons =. '9 80
After the delivery of the grafton, the Blind
Bard again favored the audience with some of
'pslr choiee selections. IA
our only regret is that so many of our people
failed to hear Mr.. Holcombe's Grafton. and hon.
that he may be requested to repeat it, at no verv
distant day, that those who failed to hear It NAV
nave another opportunity, and those who heard
Mr. Holcombe on last Saturday night NAV hear
