magnificent publication for January, 1873.
1t is one of the finest specimens of printing

h Misses Greeley from the Contest.
NEW YORK, February 3.-At White
Plains to-day, at the opening of the Gree
lev will.case, Judge Hart stated that he
received a note from Miss Ida Greeley,
which had been approved by her sister, in
which they begged to withdraw from the
contest which their opponents were de-
termined to wage over their fathers grave.
The contestants then proceeded to prove
the will made by Mr.. Greeley in 1871
without further opposition. 1t was stated
that Mr.. Greeley left property estimated
to be worth $206, 900, and with the estate
of Mrs. Greeley would amount to 1925 900.
The following is a copy of the letter re-
ferred to:

Dear Judge Haiti am SO much dis
tressed by the report of yesterdays pro

fathers grave, for not even to carry out
his last wishes can l permit a memory
which is infinitely dear to me to be so desc
Grated. With best thanks to yourself
Mr.. Nelson, and Mr.. Choate for the very
kind efforts which you have all made on
behalf of myself and sister, l remain, with
much respect, very truly yours,

PATRoNrzING HOME INDUSTRIES
An article containing just structures upon
a Virginia institution of learning which
sent to Baltimore to get its catalogue
printed, originated in the Lynchburg Vir-
ginian a short time since, and has been
widely copied by our state papers. We
indorse the spirit of the article. But we
should like to know why The Virginian
does not practice what it breaches. Why
does it not buy its type from a Virginia
foundry?

PROF. CRoMwELL's ART ENTER.
TAINMENTs.- These entertainments, so
highly enjoyed and literally %patronized by
our people for more than a week, will have
a lasting influence on our community. The
imagination will cling to the beautiful
things SO well represented. A taste for
the higher order Of amusements will be
cultivated. The mind will reach out for
wider and fuller knowledge concerning the
things of the past as well as the present.
The younger portion of the large audiences
will be especially benefited.
As will be seen by the Professors card
in another column, but two more enter
tainments will be ~giyen-to-night and to-
morrow night. 1t IS scarcely necessary for
US to bespeak large audiences on these oc-
c~asions, as we feel quite sure Virginia Hall
will be crowded. The entertainment to-
night will be in aid of the Lee memorial.
1t is the purpose of the Professor to 60
south from Richmond. After leaving
Petersburg, he will visit Wilmington,
Raleigh, Savannah, Columbia, Charleston,
&c., and he expresses the intention of Civ
ing a benefit to the Lee memorial in each
of these places. We commend him and
his entertainments to intelligent people
everywhere.
