Virginia Hall has not abated at all, but
grows larger nightly. The Hall was
damned with delighted people last night,
and the tricks of the illusionist kept them
in constant bewilderment. The celebra-
ted aerial suspension scene was, given in a
most successful manner. At the conclu-
sion of the performances proper, the anus
ing ceremonies of delivering the prizes to
fortunate ticket holders were entered upon.
A cart load of articles of practical value
and ornament were thus disposed of.
The first matinee Of the week is in
progress as we write this notice, and
the house is! full Of ladies and chill
dren. The Professor will remain during
next week, and will not fail in resources to
keep up the interests Of his exhibitions.

ing to its depth. j have just experimental
by holding a rusted cloth, wet in this solu-
ton over the steam of a boiling teakettle,

In either case, the cloth should be we'll

DEATH OF JAMES II. ADAMS IN A
WELL.-A well known citizen, James FL.
Adams, met with horrible accident and
death at his home, on Church Hill, last
night. Mr.. Adams had just returned from
protracted business trip through Tennes-
see, in the interest of Messrs. Franklin
Davis x Co., nurserymcn of this city,
About ten O'Clock last night, and before he
had retired, he complained of dizziness
in the head, and went out into the yard to
the well, as is supposed, for the purpose of
bathing his head in cold water. When be
had been absent about half an hour his
family became alarmed, and search for him
was immediately began, several of the
neighbors assisting. The whole pre-
misses were gone over without discovering
his whereabouts, when one of the
searchers heard, or thought he heard
groans proceeding from the well. [rhe
well had no outside curbing, but being
even with the surface of the ground, was
covered over with boards, which were re-
moved when water was raised in the bucket
by means Of a windlass.l A light was
Aleld over the well, and on peering in, the
form of Mr.. Adams was discovered at the
bottom. lie was taken out as soon as pos
sible. and when brought to the surface was
found to be quite dead, the skull being
horribly crushed by the fall. From the
time he left the house until the lifeless
corpse was taken from the well about three
quarters of an hour had elapsed. Cor
oner Taylor was notified of the
terrible affair and signified his inten-
ton of holding an inquest at o'clock this
afternoon. The funeral will take place to-
morrow morning at 10 o'clock.
Mr.. Adams was well known in this city,
having been merchant for several years,
and in other callings which brought him in
conspicuous contact with the people of
Richmond. Last fall he was employed by
B..W. ellis as a solicitor for the city d.
rectory, and had returned from Tennessee
with the view Of aiding Mr.. ellis in getting
up the forthcoming directory for this ear.
lie was about As years Of age. Ills sud-
den and terrible death has caused the deep
est sorrow to his wife and children, who
are now left wholly dependent upon their
own exertions for support.
