Great excitement was depicted upon the
countenances of the people Of our nelghbor-
ipg town of liarrisonburg on Saturday last.
To the stranger there seemed to be an awful
something 'absut TO take place, and tortured
by an unusual anxiety, he could only wait
for full development. At last the crisis
arrived, and it was announced, that there
would be "a baby shoS in the Court House
inuocents came. Bouncing boys and tender
little girls, smiling, laughing, kicking, squall-
ing babies, such sight was never witnessed
before within the corporate limits of Harri-
sonburg. Every mother of course, expected
the premium, and all but one was dis
appointed, The Register was present in all
his glory, and by his polite attentions and
smiling countenanee contributed much to The
pleasures Of the day. The premium was
awarded, but as tastes will differ, large
mum Der differed with the committee in judg
ment, and many declared that they had made
& mistake, and the merits of the best looking
baby were not recognized. Whether the
COMM tee can succeed in convincing the
public that their judgment was correct d G.
cission of the important question, We arc n OF
able 10 say. But the general impression is
that Harrisonburg has its full share Of babies.
We expect the Register TO give US the full
particulars of this important exhibition OF
Rockingham enterprise.

A Schoolmistress RISKS Her Life to Save
Her PupiIs,

The Independence, Iowa, Bulletin
records the heroic conduct of lady
teacher of that place, Miss Maggie
Cooper. The school building in which
she was teaching is provided with ven
tilating fues, connected with the rooms
by registers. The registers are of cast
iron, weighing about forty pounds
each, ard are let into the wall about
thirteen feet from the floor. On Mon
day afternoon of last week, as two little
boys were working at the blackboard,
directly under the register, in Miss
Cooper's room, the lady happened to
cast her eyes in the direction of the
ceiling, and saw to her CONSERVATION
the heavy iron register was on the very
point of falling on the heads of the
unconscious children. Taking IN the
situation at a glance, she saw that the
little ones could not be removed in time
to avoid the impending danger, but,
determined to save their lives at any
sacrifice, she rushed to the spot, and,
extending her arms above the heads of
the little boys, received the whole
weight of the falling iron, and, by the
utmost exercise of her strength, divert
ed it from the line of its descent to the
floor, where it fell close by the side Of
the imperlled children. There is not
the least doubt that, but for the heroic
action of Miss Cooper, the lives of one
or both of the boys would have been
sacrificed. Miss Cooper received a Sc
we're cut in the hand, and for day or
two her arm was so benumbed by the
conclusion as to be entirely useless.

.MOtley's Lady Friend.

1t was mentioned few days ago that
Mr Motley, recently American Minis
ter at London, was about to take up
his residence in cne of the royal pal
aces of the Hague, by invitation of the
Queen of Holland. The royal lady
took great interest in the historical re-
searches of Mr.. Motley preparatory to
writing his great works, "The Rise of
the Dutch Republic" and "The Uni
ted Netherlands, !" which were prosecu-
ted chiefly at the Hague The Queen
of Holland is the most accomplished
royal lady in Europe. She is the
daughter of tbs old King of Wur
temberg. Her mother was sister of
the Emperor Nicholas. The Queen, a
fond and devoted daughter, is accus-
toned to spend from two to three
months with her mother every summer.
The King, her husband, who is famous
for his gayeties, meantime recreates
himself at Wiesbaden, Hamburg, and
other places of fashionable resort. The
Queen, on her return to the Hague,
gives an audience to the several foreign
ministers, and she makes it a point to
address each one of them in his own
language.
