My Dear Director: The reputation of the
American pianos was established everywhere
by the extraordinary sensation they created at
the Paris Exhibition of 1867. Since that time
several Of the leading piano manufactures in
Europe have found it expedient to construct
pianos of the American kind The distinguish
idg advantages of the latter-peculiar richness
of tone and extreme solidity of construction
were evident to eye and ear in the most admira-
BILE instrument manufactured by Hallet, Davis
& Co., of Boston, which was tested here yester-
day. ..-r.sLl .r-rT-
1t is highly desirable that the use and enjoy
ment of these instruments should be attainable
for European pianists.

A SAD FALLING OUT.-It is indeed sad fall

ly prevented and the twain more closely united
than ever by Timely and systematic use of
LYoN's KATHARIoN, the most potent invigor-
ant of the hair AMI promoter of its growth and
beauty known to modern pharmacy. 1t COM
pletely obviates the dry and parehed condition
of the roots of the hair, which is preliminary
to its coming out by supplying the iprecise de-
gree of moisture requisite to its preservation in
healthy state. 1t is the only true dissolvent
and evaporant of dandruff and other impuri
ties of the scalp, whose presence is injurious to
the hair. As beautifier of the head the Ka-
tharion has no equal. 1t not only increases the
quantity of the hair, but improves its quality

The decorations at this church were, as usual,
on the most elaborate scale of taste and beauty,
and exceeded any similar effort of previous
years. The chancel bloomed in luxurant beauty
with its wealth of floral garlands, and seemed
transformed into spacious floral temple. An
elaborate arch, surmounted by cross composed
of red and white roses, spanned its entrance,
its front was tastefully imbedded with white
roses interwoyen with yisteria and other run

Easter was observed at this church with the
solemn and impressive ceremonies with which
the Roman Catholic church celebrates the
great festivals of the ecclesiastical year. There
were no floral decorations on thelhigh altar, but
the altars of the Virgin and st. Joseph in the
rear were made fragrant with vases of beaut-
full flowers of every description, and illumna-
ted with arches and groups of gas jets. The
high altar was a blaze of magnifcence, and the
| light of a thousand burners reflected back up
on the audience from the gilded fret-work of
the altar-screen and pillars, and the altar it
self, heightened by the rays through the stain
ed windows In the rear, was talmost over
poweriug. Two white figures OF kneeling
angels at either side of the altar, made the
scene still more impressive. The music was
of the grandest character and was given by a
choir of eight voices, with chorus of about
fifty well-trained young female voices, under
the management of Mr.. Charles A. Libby, Jr.,
the organist. Hayden's first mass was sung
for the first time in this city, the solos, duets

The dead past, falsely so-called, with its
Joys. and its griefs aoiI come back to Us with
the freshness and vigor Of but yesterday.
So in the history of towns and villages,
events occur that never can be forgotten,
sometimes so light and cheerful that we
constantly in after life recur to them as the
best and happiest days Of the dear old town
The time honored village Of Waynesboro

those concerned.

We are in common with almost the entire
population of our City, men, women and
children, pleased to learn, after SO long a
time that route has at last been secured for
the construction of the Valley Railroad
through the corporate limits Of Staunton. -
The route passes through the corner of the
front Garden of the Western Lunatic Asy.
lum, at the junction Of The Waynesboro and
Greenville roads near the arch on the Ches-
apeake & Ohio Railroad.
The Directors had meeting on Tuesday
last and the right to use the grounds desig-
mated was granted. the Company agreeing
to pay damages to the amount of $1,000,
and to build an iron trestle not less than fif.
teen feet high, or an arch as they may here
after determine Of similar height. The Di-
rectors also agreed to sell two acres Of ground
on the North side of the Chesapeake & Ohio
Railroad near Mrs. Ast's- for $2500 for
building Depot. This route will run on
the West side Of the Greenville road, pass
ing through the lands of John Croghan
Capt Marquis, Jacob Parent, R. M.
Ayers and Mrs. Gay and others.
The route through our City being now
permanently located, we trust that the CON
tracts for building the road from Harrison
burg to this point will be closed at once
and the whole completed at as early day as
possible.
