INSPIRING PRESENTING have ,been the
recipient Of half dozen bottles of fine Lisbon
wine, imported by Col. C. II. Lewis, Of Rock
ingliam, late U. S. Consul to Portugal, and
conveyed to us through the politeness of Mr..
5. w. Pollock, of the Gem Saloon, Harrison
burg. We return thanks to Col. Lewis for his
kind remembrance of lis, and attribute it more
to his sympathy with the knights Of
the quill, of which he was at one time an able
mem1er, than TO any particular claim that we
as individuals coald present. We appreciate
the gift rot only for its intrinsic merit, but the
sentiment Of friendship it indicates.

Died at IL p. m. on Tuesday last the 9tl
inst, Miss Mary Augusta, daughter of Mr.
George Fuller, of this city. in the 35th year of
her age. The funeral will take place from the
Methodist Church at 10 O'Clock this morning
The deceased had been for several years an
exemplary member Of the Methodist Church.
and was a faithful and efficient teacher in the
Sunday School, in which, as well as in the
Church, she will be sadly missed. In her
sickness, and yerging the valley where the
shadows lie," she doubtless realized the full
ness and blessedness of the religious truths she
had SO long taught the class in her charge. and
passed away as ''calm as summer evenings be. -
In her manner, she was quiet and unobtrusive,
and in all the relations Of life few persons
haG more faultless character. She leaves
aged parents, sisters and brothers and other
relatives behind to suffer what she will never
feel again. for in heaven, ''there is no scr

" CANTATA AT THE WESLEYAN FEMALE IN
sTITUTE.-Ihe entertainments at the w. T. [.
have been like angels visits this session, few
and far between. and the musc-loving public
have missed them greatly. Invitations to its
Soirees are always warmly welcomed, but they
were doubly SO on last Friday, for months had
gone by since they had before been issued, and
all were impatient to again listen to the excel
lent vocalism Of Miss Lizzie Daniels Glass;
On Saturday evening, long before the announc-
ed hour Of commencement, the Chapel wa;
filed to its capacity, and when the curtain was
drawn back every foot of space was occupied,
and many ladies were forced to stand on chairs
at the door, while gentlemen considered them
selves fortunate if they could hut gain all occa-
sional peep at the stage. A number OF per
sons were completely crowded out.
The ''Cantata'' represented the months an(
seasons OF the year. First January and Feb
ruary, Misses Fort and Landstreet, came robe(
in heavy winter costume, while the scene around
them suggested furs, listers aud protection
generally, except that winter gives no songs
so charming. After the Tabeau. Spring was
tlshered in-Miss Downs as March, and Miss
Mills as April, Miss Boruln as ATay-and never
was its budding beauty more *strikngly typi-
fed-ail sunshine and flowers, with no reminder
of provoking winds or dismal rains, it came
and went heralded' and farewelled by notes
the song-birds might have enyied. The Spring
Tableau-Coronation of the May Queen-was
beautiful. Then Summer came, the browning
season of the year-gay June and bright July
and harvest-laden August-Miss Turner, Miss
Collett, Miss Powell. Each was appropriate
ly dressed, and each gave her part to perfec
ton, but the solos afforded no adequate scope
for the exercise OF the full, rich voices of the
singers, though III sweetness they could not
have been surpassed. The Summer Tableau
was heartily enjoyed, and represented har-
vestng party at rest.
In the Autumn scene, Misses Burrlls, B. Har-
ris and Wilson, appeared rs September, Octo-
Der and November. Laden with all the fruits
only the golden side Of the Oscar and yellow
leaf y was held to view, while the music was as
fresh and joyous, as though the year was in Its
youth. After the Autumn Tableau, Dccem-
Der the '.ryrant,' came, represented by Miss
Geger, who measured up fully to the demands
of the occasion, rendering her part in deep
contrato-amost a bass.
10 each of the scenes were chorusses in which
from forty to fifty splenddly cultivated voices
! Joined. and more than sustained the reputation
of Miss Darrell as the most successful musical
instructor in the city,
The last scene was the Thanksgiving Tab
lea;,.n in which almost the entire school, at
tired in white and knceling with hands uprais-
ed as if ia prayer, chanted the 23d Psalm. 1t
wasa beautiful picture, and closed one of the
most successful entertainments ever given at
the w, +. |.

A Democratic paper down in Georgia says
that if Mr., Tilden be nominated tae Southern
people will support him, just as they would
support the Egyptian mummy but it does not
think he stands any more chance Of getting
the nomination than a mud-turtle does OF be-
coming hummingbird. Ii he is nominated,
however, the prospect for his defeat it regards
as exceptionally bright. These are not pleas
