Thinking you would ike to have some
news from Old Virginia, l wiz start by
saying the weather has been extremely
hot with US Tor the last two or three
weeks, the thermometer frequently stand
ing at I05 in tha shade In some see
tons the drouth has been terrible, in
others the rain came Just IN time, and it
Ia hoped that TIE crops are rescued from
ruin. Our farmers generally have got
ten out their wheat; the yield IS entirely

kind to make GGcy-brIni four.
The first grand rally Of tie Tiljen and
Hendricks clubs viii take place to-mor-
TOW night Several prominent speakers
from distance have promised to be pres
sns to open the campaign. SPARKS from
Illinois, Blackburn from Eentgeky and
Levy from Louisiana, are among the nam
ber. The occasion Will lie one of extra
ordinary interest, and will be, doubtless,
attended by the largest Gro. ! ever seen
at a political gathering. The colored
/ people are becoming dIsgusted with the
Grant rule and are forming Tiiden and
Hendricks clubs all over the city to CO
operate with the Democracy in the Fres-
identiaI election.
Our churches were slimIy attended on

Mont Maria, situated on Church Hill. A
beautiful young lady Of Brooklyr, Ny,
entered a life of a religeuse. Her mother
and two young brothers, who had come
on from Brooklyn, were present, as were
also a nuuber Of ladies ani gentlemen of
this city, including a number of promi-
nent catholics, who had been especially
invited. The ceremony was performed
in the chapel Of ths- Monastery, Il GIT
Rev. Bishop Gibboas, officiating Sle
vas arrayed il elegant aul costly attire,
made especially for the occasion by one
Of the most fashionable modistes in New
York.
For the benefit Of your lady readers

Our railroad connections with tbj
