This is the season which these celebrated Bit

inestimable virtues. We have in our social in
tercourse, heard but one expression in their IA

charm, and prove more eficacious than any
medicine that has ever been offered to the pub

now in use, say that it will cure all the ills COM

that whenever taken according to directions it

RICHMOND, Dec 9Th. 1873.
The stockholders meeting of the @. s. o. 4.
r. held here on yesterday, the 4th, was mere
farce On the motion of Gen. Wickham, Mr..
a. K. Ellyson, of the Dispatch was called to
the chair. and before a Secretary could be ap-
pointed, or, at least announced, Gen. Wickham,
moved an adjournment, saying that the Presi-
dent Mr.. Huntin gdon, had not had time to pre-
pare his address. His motion prevailed with re-
marable unanimity, considering how many were
disappointed in this action, and the Chairman
declared the meeting adjourned to Thursday,
the 18th day of this month This may be all
right, but looks queer to man accustomed to
straig forward dealings. There is such a
thing as playing off time but always for a pur-
pose.
The Dispatch announces that the Church Hill
tunnel is completed, and that the first train of
cars ran through on Sunday. Now. only speak
of this matter to deprecate the dissertation of
the Sabbath Some of our railroad managers,
like THE Fool, have said in their hearts there
is no God" Is it any wonder that R. Cos;
meet with many accidents? Why should
not the law apply to Sunday work by these COM
panies as well as to individuals ?
Some parties, who. no doubt, have big axe
to grind, proposed to make Gen. Kemper pres
ent of pair of horses and a carriage before his
Inauguration, but the General informed them
that he could not receive presents. What con-
trast with the President of the United States,
who receives horses. houses and lands, any
thing else that may be offered! Gen. Kemper is a
who will do what he thinks Is right. without the
the hope of 'other fee or reward" than that of
good conscience. The weather very mild, with
some rain. Business very dull. K.
For the Spectator.
A TRUE SAMARITAN On yesterday, Mr.
VIM d. Grove and his sister, Mrs. Bantz, of

Mr.. Grove had gone on account of his health

and while awaiting transportation to Staunton,
Mr.. G. was taken very i'll in the reception room
Of the Company, and died at the residence of
Mrs Linnie Roberts, who, happening to pass
and seeing the condition of the sick man, kindly
proposed to take him and his sister to her house
and care for them. This she did with truly
'commendabe Christian sympathy. Mr.. Grove
as before stated, died about 8 P. M. The kind
hearted railroad officials, seeing their destitute
situation, made the necessary arrangements and
forwarded the body and Mrs. Bantz and her
child free to Staunton by to-day's train. Mrs
Roberts generous and disinterested action in
this case, without hope of fee or reward, merits
notice. and Heaven will reward her for her

TIGHT ROPE PERFoRMANCEs-Th D. Orville
Brothers from Georgia on Wednesday and Sat
urday last gave exhibitions Of their daring per-
formances on the tght-rope and on the trapeze
in this place, the rope on Wednesday being
stretched from chimney to chimney across Au-
gusta street the Spectator Office, and on Sat-
urday in similar manner across Beverly or
Main Street near the Union Hall building
These performances were witnessed by large
number of persons the majority of whom were
colored as the exhibitions were free except to
such paid voluntarily. They showed the skill
and daring of the performers, but we're of such
character that many would rather pay them
not to enact them than to do so. They show not
only how skillful some may become in balanc-
ing but what risks some will voluntarily en-
counter for the sake Of gain.
