ORIENTAL LEcruREs.-rhe lecture
of Mrs. L. I. L. Adams on Egypt and
the Holy Land, last evening, at Ma
tional Guard Hall, Virginia, was very
fully attended, Notwithstanding the
furious storm which prevailed. 1t GER
tainly was the most elaborate and In
teresting lecture on that subject ever
given In this section, and was listened
to with rapt attention throughout. The
lady possesses q good voice, q wonder
full flow of language, and handles her
subject In q very able, eloquent and
talented manner, saying more In the
same space Of time than any lecturer
we ever listened to. Her style Is easy,
acknowledgements, and brings the
scenes and Incidents Of which she
speaks, familiarity within tho compre-
hension of all. We will not attempt
the Injustice Of a brief synopsis Of this
most excallent lecture, for we have
neither time o space. This evening
she will give a second lecture on other
portions of tho Holy Land not inclu-
ded in that Of las: evening, giving also
interesting accounts and incidents Of
the manners and customs Of the people
of that country. By way Of illustra-
tion, Mrs. Adams will in the course OF
her lecture appear attired in the full
dress and genuine habiliments Of a
Turkish bride. At the close Of the lee
ture she will exhibit a variety of inter
esting relics brought by herself from
the Holy Land. Many an obscure pas,
sage In the Bible Is clearly explained
by the lady, and all interested In true
study Of the Scriptures will profit
greatly by attending her lecture.
ANOTHER COOP Snow SroRM.-rhe
heavy, clustering winds Of yesterday
eliminated about 0 o'clock last even
Ing, In a bountiful old fashioned suow
storm, which prevailed pretty much
all night, snd this morning especially
the fleecy compound came down right
generously In huge flakes not quite as
broad as q barrel-head. The result Is
splendid sleghing, for this snow is ofa
damn nature, packing we'll. Up to
noon to-day the snow had fallen to tho
depth Of about eight inches on a level.
At that time there was a cessation OF
the snow storm, and o q light driz-
cling rain set In, which continued dur
ing the afternoon. 1t Is to be hoped
that It may turn to snow again to-
night, otherwise a general and sudden
melting of that already fallen may On
u Q At any rate, this storm Is worth
millions to the county, and comes In
good time.
