SUDDEy DEATH.

Mr.. John HOLLAND, who for seventeen years past
has been employed as driver Of one Of the Metro
politan hotel coaches, died suddenly at his resi-
denee, on First street, between Pennsylvania
avenue and B street, on Saturday night about
unwell and feeling bilious, and AFTER returning
from his usual trip to the O'Clock train he went
to Clarkeis drug store, where he took three CON-
pound cathartic pills, which is considered no more
than an ordinary dose. He then went TO his home,
and after eating light supper he laid down on
the sofa, but when his wife went to arouse him
life was extinct. He had been drinking quite
freely Of late, and It is believed death resulted
from apoplexy. The coroner deemed an inquest
necessary, and will hold one this morning at 10

MUHICAL OULTURE.

There are two cities in the Union noted for the
musical culture Of their citizens, Washington
and Boston, and within the year past an impetus
has been given to the study Of the divine art here
Academies and eonserYatories Of music have been
established and most generous outlay made to
secure competent teachers, and in this regard
some Of our private schools have not been at all
negligent. 1t is positive pleasure to speak Of
talent and to praise It wherever found, and in
any department OF art, and just as would be said
Of brilliant musical rendition by Mrs. Oates or
Miss Kellogg, reference fs made to the surprising
beauty and finish Of the instrumental and vocal
music Of Miss Augusta Skinner, the teacher at
the Misses Osbornes young ladies' boarding
school at the corner Of Tenth and NJ streets. Miss
Skinner Is very fluent as vocalist, her tones are
rich, full and clear, and she sings with real taste
and hne expression, such songs as 'He's Pooling
Thee" and Coming Through the Rye" beng
rendered with all those graces Of coquetry and
viyacity Of manner which belong TO their best ex-
eeution. In songs from the French and in Italian
barcarOles her method, emphasis and expression
are correct, and her lingering has neatness, ra-
pidity and evenness, qualities In teacher that
are Indispensable. 1t Is more than probable that
during the season the pleasure OF hearing Miss
Skinner in public Will be enjoyed.

EXCITING TIMES IN WINCHESTER, VA.
The winchester Times publishes the following
account Of & recent attempted elopement in that
town:
San affair which has created more interest in
our community than anything we remember for
several years was the attempted elopement at
o'clock Sunday morning, Of the step-daughter Of
Well-knoWn Main-street merchant with young
gentleman who does q manufacturing business on
Piecadilly street. The young lady is said to be
under fourteen years Of age, but is well-grown,
and exceedingly handsome and accomplished for
her age. The gentleman, although still quite
young, is WidoWer. The acquaintance COM
being distasteful to the ladys parents, clandes-
tine correspondence was carried on. The letters,
however, fell into the hands Of the parents, who
thus became acquainted with the plans Of the
parties, and took means to Illustrate their inten-
lions. Accordingly, as the bell OF the courthouse
struck o'clock on Sunday morning, the lady
door, prepared for flight, and was promptly met
by her lover and a number o. chosen friends, who
were prepared to resist any attempt 70 detain
them. No sooner had they reached the street
than the friends Of the opposite party appeared
in strong force from various hiding places in the
neighborhood, where they had been concealed In
anticipation Of the event. The clipping party was
quickly overtaken, brief conflict occurred, in
which several pistol-shots were exchanged. the
by the police and lodged in jail, and the lady was
conducted TO her homo. On Monday morning the
street IN 'front.' OF the Justlceb ONCE was nleQ Win
q curious crowd, who were anxious to learn how
the affair would terminate. The parties being
all well known and having large family conuec-
tions and the fact that the gentleman obtained
HIS first wife In a similar manner only few years
ago, increased the interest felt. Various opinions
were expressed, youth and hot blood generally
taking the lovers side while cooler heads depre-
Gated the affair. The police and others concerned
in executing the warrant for the arrest Of the
parties were themselves placed under
arrest on Monday, but were subsequently
dismissed without trial. The justices determined
to bail the parties and the case will now come be-
fore the grand jury, when interesting develop
ments are promised, which We will then feel at
liberty TO publish. Eminent counsel have been
engaged on both sides"
