'sMRs. JARLEY's' WAX WoRKs.-Au who
attended the exhibition given by Mrs farley
at Mozart Hall. On last Thursday night, must
have been pleased. Besides that lady's admi-
rable lecture Oh the historical characters repre-
sented, the figures, themselves, were exceeding
ly hfelike, and some of them very beautiful,
whilst the mechanical continuance which ena-
bled them to initiate the most prominent char
acteristics of the illustrious personages whose
spirits were supposed, at one time, to have an
mated forms similar to their own, was such as
to almost convince the amazed and wondering
audience that it possessed the power of ''breath-
ing the breath of life." There was something
to interest everyone; from the child whose
bright eyes sparkled as they beheld that guar
dian saint of the cradle-Mother Goose, to the
fond mother whose loving arms logged to clasp
the fragile little infant as it sat innocently and
I.copteptedly amusing itself with useful toy of
which children Of tough and tender years are
more Or less fond.
There was, also, some magnificent music, by
lady whose naturally sweet and highly cult
waited voice has, for several years, been Staun-
ton 5 boast.
We understand that Mrs. farley Will again
exhibit her wonderful collection, in the course
of month or so, and we advise all who have
an eve for the beautiful and an ear for the hui
morous to be present.

SOIREE AT AUGUSTA E IALE SEMINARY
A most charming and ntecSaining French play
(T.a incognita) was rendered at the chapel OF
the above Institution, on last Saturday night.
The scene is located in French village, LA
Incognta'-wllo is a Duchess, appears disguis-
ed as peasant girl and is at once subjected to
the rilicule and boisterous merriment Of her as
sociates She afterwards discloscs her true
character, and rewards one Of the girls whese
amiability and sweetness had been conspicuous,
and rebukes the Others severely for their lackof
feminine charity. The acting Of ''La Incogni-
tai was highly ereditable, as was that of all the
leading and principal characters of the piece.
After the play, several vocal solos and cho-
ruses were rendered in very happy manner,
| especially those of Miss Forsythe and Miss Rob
| erts, and the Miserere-solo and chorus from
Duets by Misses Rigden and johnson were al
SO very excellent efforts and created much APP
plause A recitation-ssWha the Strawberries
say'-by Miss Matte Frazier, yong lady oil
| very tender years, was very effectively and
appropriately given. The closing calisthenic
exhibition was equally well achieved, the pos
turing and expression, the perfect harmony
and union OF movement, being most noticeable
and remarkable.
We regret that Miss Forsythe, whose musica
talenthas already made her conspicuous, has ap
peared for the last time, as we learn that she
left on Monday for her homie in Florida. The
best wishes Of many who have been entertained
by her sweet yocaiization, 60 with her to her dis
tant home in the Gland of flowers" and WI
hope that at no distant day she will again ap
pear to meet the cordial welcome Of her Vir
ginia friends.

INCENDTARY.-A correspondent OF the Spec
tator writes that Oh Sunday night, Miss Aman-
da Bushong, who lives with her mother and
sister Kate, near Christians Greek and about
six tniles from Stauuton, was awakened from
sleep by the roar, crac1ling and light of fire
somewhere about the premises She ilnmedi-
ately aroused her mother and Miss kate-the
old lady having been confined to her bed for
months. their feelings may be imagined but
not described; but they sooned learned that it
was the smoke house. small log house which
stood about % feet from the dwelling-tlat was
on fire and so far gone that all hopes OF saving
it were aban loneu. They soon aroused the
neiglbarhood who came quickly to their assis-
lance aud with considerable effort saved the
dwelling. Now for the moral. The weather
was damp; there had been no fire in the smoke
house this Winter, and as it was warm that
night, there was but little fire in the house and
10 wind at the time. How did it take fire.
Was it the work Of an incendary? and if so,
what was the matter? in the name Of all that
is sacred who would wish to burn up these
helpless women? and for what object? AS
there was but little in the house their loss was
small, not more that $40 OF $50.

The drought in the Eastern States is becom-
ing a question of very serious consideration. In
some quarters melted snow is the only drink
that can be furnished the cattle, ana in others
their owners are shipping them off to prevent
their dying of thirst. There were no rains
previous to the beginning al cold weather, and,
unless there are heavy spring rains, the dry
ground may prove as detrimental to the Eastern
crops as the grasshoppers have to those Ct the
West. BY way Of contrast, California has
| been deluged by the excessive rainfall.

DISCHARGES IN BANKRUPTCY.-We are re-
quested to state that the Register in Bankrupt
cy for the Harrisonburg Court, is very anxious
to clean up his docket, and report all the cases
that have been filed six months previous 10
the next term of the court. With this view. 1t
is important that the final meetings IN all sach
cases, be held as speedily as possible ana IL IS
to the interest of every one, desirous OF q dls-
charge, that immediate steps be taken to nave
his case adjudicated. 1T has been the habit fof
petitioners to delay their final applications I'M
til the very last moment, when the pressure OF
business in the Registers office becomes so
great, that it is physically impossible to dispose
Of it in time for the action OF the Court. Per
sons who have gone into bankruptcy will please
note this matter, and act promptly, II they
wish to secure their discharges.

According to the divinations and prophesies
of 'sRey. W. G.. Thurman the day of judy
ment Is to come upon Charlottesville, on the
18th day April, at five minutes past four CLOCK
in the afternoon. Several years ago Mr.. Thur
man thought the same thing about Dayton, in
Rockingham county, and a large number Of
his followers had assembled at the appointed
time to Ego up'' with him. But there was a
screw loose somewhere, and the Rev. gen
tleman was left upon this wicked earth to try
his hand again. The Chronicle doubts whether
Charlottesville will fare any better than did Day
ton did.
Ten DEGREES BELOW ZERo.-Snow com
menced falling at IL O'Clock Oh Saturday night
and continued without cessation for about
twenty-four hours. On Monday morning at
o'clock, the mercury in the Thermometer was
down to ten degrees below zero, and on We'd
nesday morning at O'Clock it stood at ten.-
For the past three days there has been elegant
sleighing, the snow being about four inches
deep. Many of our citizens and most Of the
school girls went whirling around the streets,
totally regardless of the fierce, cutting
wind 1t was a pretty sight, that of those glad
Joyous girls, whose beaming faces, muffed in
furs, laughed at the threats Of old Boreas, and
whose merry voices kept time to the music Of
/ innnmerable bells, as they went springine
along over the smooth, CLASSY snow. To many
Of them, the falling Of the light, noiseless flake
was novel sight, for at their sunny Southern
homes these silent messengers Of moonligh!
rides, snug, coy baskets and buffalo robes are
4 never seen.
There were many stylish turnouts on the
streets, both private and livery. We noticed
two particularly handsome teams, one driven
! By z. A. White, and the other, a pair Of large,
spirited blacks, by Mike Hartman, jr, both OF
which we've as fine specimens OF equine beauty
as one could wish to set behind
| We understand that at Broadway, in Rock
ing..am county, the mercury went down tc
sixteen degrees below zero, which, we suppose.
is as cold as it generally gets in this latitude.
