CHURCH HILL TUNNEI,-ANoTHER
GAVE IN AT SHAFT No. 2.-There
has been another cave in of the earth at
the eastern end OF shaft No. 2, between
Twenty-fourth and Twenty-lifth streets.
The earth there has sunk foot or two,
completely wrecking one end of the brick
kitchen situated in rear of the residence
of Mrs. q. j. Darlington. No one was
hurt as far as we could learn. The princi-
pal loss is the damage done the kitchen,
which the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad
will doubtless promptly pay for. The
damage to the tunnel is tritling.

The HAMS HALL MEETINGs.-A
correspondent arraigns the parties who
have lately held sundry meetings at Hams
Hall, on the ground of their desertion from
the Republican party, and calls them dis
appointed politicians. Their egotistic man.
ner Of addressing the meeting "would make
an outsider believe that Philo Junius of old
was delivering one of his invectives against
the Duke of Grafton, or Lord Mansfield"
He adds: "a
SIT is time that these gentlemen should
know that every Conservative paper in the
state halls with delight these dissensions,
discords and chickering's in the Republican
party, particularly at this period. The
Conservatives well know that if the Repub-
lican party stands united, fighting valiantly
for the nominee of the Lynchburg conven-
tion, they may be successful; but if har-
mony does not prevail their defeat is GER

Mr.. Editor: Some excitement was caus-
ed in town, last week, by one or two en-
counters Of q war-like nature. 4 young
man by the name of Graves, having be-
come the victim of SANDER most foul, re-
solved to punish his slanderer, whose
name is Wood, which he did in very
summary manner, considerably marring
Woods personal charms and making chairs
more necessity than Il luxury for him, at
least for few days. 4 stone wall, near by,
hid some of the beauties of nature, aud a
silent spectator likewise, who no doubt en-
joyed the scene. Some of our most respect
ed citizens, of whom our stone wall friend
was one, having heard of the threatened
assault, made their way TO the scene of ac-
ton, thinking, perhaps, that if the affair
took its own sweet course one Of the con-
tending parties might need craze of u
different character from the one in flesh
and blood. They prevailed upon the man
of war to discontinue tie fight, and no
doubt congratulated themselves for having
done a humane and Christian act but
when few days afterwards, the sheriff
called and invited them TO appear at court,
to tell what they knew about it, the affair
wore different aspect; so if any one here.
amer is ''to war inclined" We don't believe
they will have the same set of witnesses
when the case come up in court. We I'M
derstand that Graves paid, including costs,
about SIS Tor his little "unploasantness,
and says it was cheap at that. Another
transaction took place here last week so
low, so vulgar, so damnable, as to render it
unfit for publication. Fortunately for the
honor of our town, the being (who calls
himself man, we suppose) does not claim
this as his home; that honor was reserved
for Keene, and we hope she appreciates it.
How man possessed of human intellect,
could commit crime 30 contemplate as
this man did, is beyond our comprehen-
sion. Ed WARD.

There was no part Of the ring performance
that was not above the average of such
shows, while some of them were far be-
yond not only the average but of the best
or most other circuses. The daring and
graceful bareback riding of Nine. Cordelia
was really wonderful. Without saddle.
bride or circingle, the fair and fearless
equestrienne was as much at home on the
back of her horse as on the ground. Then
the gymnastic performances of the Snow
Brothers were new, neat, pretty and easily
performed, equal to, If not ahead Of, any
thing before seen in this city. The "stilt
act of ROLAND was an entirely new fea-
ture, and made lots of fun as well as excit-
ed much wonder. The Indian war dance.
ETC., were interesting md exciting, and the
riding of the pursued in the Indian panto-
mine, entitled the "Comanche's Escape"
was wild and daring in the extreme. Other
acts are also worthy of mention, but our
readers can go and see for themselves.
