THE MUNICIPAL ELECTION.

The election for city officers, held ON Thurs
day last, passed off very quietly, the hest of Or
der being maintained. Below will be found
the result from which, it will be seen that the
nominees of the Primary Ticket, for the offices
of Mayor, City Treasurer, Sergeant and Consta.
BILE, and the candidate on the Opposition Tick
ct, for Clerk were elected. There was no OPP
position for Commonwealth Attorney and
Commissioner of Revenue. OF the twelve Coun-
cilmen. five on the Opposition and FIVE on the
Primary ticket were elected, the Remaining
two, Messrs. Fultz and Powell, being OIL both
tickets.
AS mater Of course, the so-called Conserv-
atives claim triumph, bpt the result, as shown:
fails to establish it. They worked like beav-
ers, and were joined in their labors by several
negroes who, with the free use of whiskey, in
fiqeneed number of their race to vote the
Urinary ticket.
The counting of the vote in the Second Ward
was not completed until about O'Clock in the
morning, and by daylight the VIRGINIAN ex.
tras. announcing the result, were scattered
broadcast over the city. About 8 o'clock in
the morning the indicators extra appeared

DECORATION DAY.-Tuesday the Both was
set apart as the day for the decoration of the
graves Of the Federal Soldiers throughout the
Union. It was appropriately observed here by
the colored people. The two Methodist con-
gregations and the Baptist, assembled at the
A. NJ. =. Church, on New street, in the even
ing and organized in procession of about !, 1000,
with Aaron Shoveler as President, and Chris
tian Dabney and Oscar johnson as Marshalls.
Men, women and children, each with flowers
and eversreens, constituted the throng, headed
by the colored Cornet Band. The procession
moved through the principal streets, and thence
to the Federal Cemetery, in the Eastern SUI
burbs Of the city. The ceremony at she ceme-
terry was opened with an appropriate and feel
ing prayer by Henry Davenport, after which
floral offerings were strewn over the graves,
and addresses made by Mr.. VIM. Lewis and
Revs. Steele and Davis.
At the close of these solemn and impressive
ceremonies, the large crowd reformed in pro-
cession, and under the Marshals. marched
back to .te A. NJ. E. Church, where they all
dispersed to their respective homes. Every
thing passed off pleasantly.

CITY FREE SCHOOLS. annual exami


| CITY FREE SCHOOLS.-The annual eXami-
nations are now progressing at the City Free
Schools. They were opened Friday last the
Goth, at the Primary leolored Miss Nancy
Thomas, teacher, and continued at Madison
street Scnoci (colored), First Grammar and
Primary, Misses Mitchell and Wilson, teachers.
On Tuesday, at the old Methodist Institute
building, First Primary, Miss Josie Brown and
Miss Julia Atkinson, teachers the eXamna-
ition Of the white pupils was commenced, and
continued on Wednesday, in the Second Prima-
ry Department, Miss Kate Nelson, teacher. To-
day Mrs. w. B. Johnson's Will be examined.
We must defer more general notice of the
progress of the schools until the completion OF
the. examinations, which will be on the 10Th in
slant, each day from this time, except Sunday,
being appropriated to one or more classes
We will not, however, permit This occasion to
pass without stating that the schools in all
their departments have advanced with re-
markable success, and fully met the expecta-
tions of officers and parents. The admirable
system instituted by the able Superintendent,
Prof. Ladd, has worked wonders with the lit
tile children, aided as he is by pains taking and
efficient teachers. The vocal music department.,
under DR.. j. L. Brown, has proved an interesting
and instructive feature of the Schools, and is
participated in with remarkable zest by the
pupils.
There, is one noticeable fact connected with
the examinations of even the primary classes.
We we've. present for few moments on Tues
day, at the examination of Misses Brown and
Atkinson's classes. The perfect ease andfree-
dom that characterized the recitations and
Edeclamations of the children, evidenced that q
kind Of confidential and sympathetic home
like influence was cXerted over them by the
teachers which hanished embarrassment and
made the little creatures feel that they were
under the care of those who cared for them,
and there was no occasion for trcpidation or
hesitation. Their little minds and hearts were
free and buoyant, and they entered into the
exercises happy and joyful.

SToNEwALL CoNcERT.-At the Town Hall
on last Friday night, the Stonewan Brigade
Band and Orchestra, assisted by Misses Collect
and Cora Turner, both graduates of Miss Lizzie
Daniels Vocal Glass, of;the W.. r. l., gave a
most delightful musical entertainment. The
house was well filled, though the number of the
auditors was not as great as the merits and OBJ
ject of the entertainment justified. The pro-
gramme was long and comprised some of the
finest selections ever rendered in -Staunton.-
Particularly was the vocal music good, but the
Hall is so badly adapted to any exercise Of
voice, that the most difficult parts Of the songs
were robbed of their attractions. The .sBeap-
tiful Blue Danube" and Don't Marry Man
if he Drinks solos, by Miss Collett, were rem
dered with the excellence of finished vocalist
and loudly applauded. 81 am Ttahia," and
"Dare Tell" by Miss Turner, were both ex-
hibitions Of fine natural talent developed by
close study under an accomplished teacher
! The comic songs by Mr.. Hamilton, Il Would
not Die in Spring-time" and 1.-The Irish Wed.
ding" brought down the house, and at the con-
clusion Of each he was. forced to respond to the
encore. ''Hippodrome Polka" by the Orchestra,
apd Battle Quickstep," by the Band, seemed
to; be most generally admired, but in a~pro.
gramme containing SO many fine selections, al
Of which were artistically executed, it was diff
fcult to decide which mIerited the most praise
Prof. Turner and the members deserve the
thanks of the community for the establishment
and maintenance of AN institution which re-
fleets SO much credit on the town as the Stone
wall Band, and our citizens should see thai
their efforts are properly appreciated. Let thu
Hall be crowded on another occasion OF tA

ENTERTAINMENT Az THE D., D. & B. IN
sTITUTION.-An entertainment was given at
the Institution on Monday evening, to which
the members OF the Lutheran Synod, then ip
session in this city, were especially invited. It
consisted of an exhibition Of the proficiency Of
tie various classes of deaf. dumb and blind pp-
pills, in recitation, reading, geography and
mathematics, besides sweet. vocal and instru-
mental music. One of the most interesting
features of the evening was the exercises in
articulation by five deaf mutes. These chill
dren recited, distinctly enough to be under
stood by all, the Lords Prayer. Some idea of
the difficulty attending the instruction Of
such class may be obtained by considering
their inability to form any conception Of sound.
10 them life has been one unbroken calm,
not even the piercing thunders have penetrated
the soundless depths which encompass them,
and it has only been through the persistent,
patient and tireless efforts of their teach
er, C. w. S. Turner, that they have been taught
to utter words and modulate tones.
One of the blind pupils, Lille White, Of
Fredericksburg, sang two solos, ga Letter in
the Candle" and. "Lottie Lee, (" and her sweet,
chldlike voice rivalled the 'smerry warbin g
birds'' she sang of. The ability displayed by
the classes in geography, algebra and geomet-
ry, surprised and highly pleased the spectators,
especially those who had never witnessed an
exhibition of the kind. The entertainment closed
with the Lords Prayerin the sigplanguage by
o little girl of not more than eight years old,
j and the grace and ease NANTES ted by the child
. called forth unbounded praise. The members
ofthe Synod were greatly pleased with their
visit, and returned hearty thanks to Captain
Mccoy AID thetteachersof the Institute as well
as to the scholars.
