The revival at the Baptist church, which
commenced on the first night OF the new
wear, still continues. It was begun with
no apparent interest anywhere. either III
the congregation or out, and on the first
night there were only sixteen persons, an
Guiding strangers, present. Then came
ble big snow storm, which made travelling
the streets almost impossible. And yet
,theeacnest pastor, Rev. DR.. Charles Manly
preached away as earnestly and as forcibly
as if the pews were picked as they were
shortly afterwards. Soon the church Was
SO crowded nightly. that it was almost i'm
poss ibIe to get standing room. There ha Fe
been some sixty persons who have profess
ed conversion, and ~twenty-seveG OF tqen
have been added to the church by baptism.
while there are more to follow" Among
those who connected themselves with the
church Last Friday night, was Mr.. Rich
ard Hawkins, one of our best known and
most esteemed citizens.
On Wednesday night of last week, a Sc
rfes of revival meetings was commenced
at the Methodist church by Rev. DR.. Jno.
S. Martin, aud tine interest in them is b.
coming very great.
4 letter states that at the Presbyterian
church in Lexington, which has just come
ont of a hot fire, a revival is progressing.
There have been thirty conversions.

All the time Britannia was explaining.

@. R. Mason, the Magic Bridge Builder.

Occasionally a fragment floats to the sur
face in the eventful history of the man
whose name heads this article. In the
year 1864, Torbet and Wilson made an in
cursion into the Valley, and extended their
predatory raid as high up as Staunton,
from whence they made a descent on Way
nesboro', where they encamped several
days. Before leaving they determined to
destroy the railroad bridge over South river
at that place, and a strong detachment was
detailed for that purpose. One span of
the bridge was pulled down with ropes,
and before a second was rem owed the az
tillery OF Gen. Early, which had silently
marched along tie base of the Blue Ridge
to that point, suddenly opened on the IN
suspecting foe and brought their work of
demolition to a hasty close-right in the
midst of it-and they retreated. This de-
layed the running Ct trains; the impor-
lance of the connection between the Val
ley and Richmond called for prompt meas
ures to restore this broken link. Who was
to do it ?-the magic bridge builder, c.. r.
Mason 4! Materials were un the ground with
dispatch; the elements, however, checked
the progress of the work-the rains con-
tinued to fall, and the river to overflow its
banks. The intrepid builder hastily con-
structed a fiat boat, which he landed upon
the surging tide, regardless Of the danger.
Spectators fiocked to the riverside to wit
ness the launch and the fate of the bold
man, for many remembered the loss OF
poor Williamson and a negro man, who
some years before had met a watery grave.
their boat being sWamped. just below the
bridge is the Crous dam, AID the tn nder-
ing tide lifted up its warning voice-to be-
ware! Mason, u~ndaunted, pushed from
the shore amidst the applause OF anxious
spectators; his frail craft was under his
control but for a moment, the surging BIZ
lows mastered the situation, and the re-
lentless waves bore him rapidly onward to
what appeared to all-inevitable death.
Mason was equal to the emergency, the
only man, perhaps, amongst that crowd
that was; he knew what was before him
a cataract which promised only ruin. But
to fear he was a stranger, and he. without
t~repidation, prepared for the plunge As
the boat made the fearful plunge, a shout
of horror and anguish filled the air "He's
lost He's lost! - Presently was seen glid-
ing over the rapids below, the improvised
gondola, and our hero proudly erect, guild
ing it to a suitable landing, which he reach
ed in perfect safety, and, amid the con-
graduation of the multitude who had fol-
lowed him, stepped out upon the shore.
The bridge was successfully rebuilt by the
veteran bridge builder, and the Confeder-
ate communication with the Valley re-
stored.

An Uncertain Witness.

Friday morning, before Justice E. M
Gushing, a young girl of eighteen, named
Susan Gaines, with a face betokening a
weak mind, and a person arrayed in a pink
bonnet, red shawl and brown dress, sat
ready to testify against Charles Burschell,
jeweller; Jno. Hyde, barber. and Samuel
Wehn, shoemaker, three decent looking
young men, who sat charged with having
treated her with gross and indecent IA
miliarity, at the residence of Mr.. T. A.
Ashby, where she is a servant, and where
they, as part Of a fishing party, stopped to
get something to eat and have their horses
fed, Monday week. The family were away
from home. The witness on being con-
fronted with the prisoners exeulpated Hyde
from any participation, and turned on one
of the witnesses who, as the evidence show
ed, had not been near her. as the man.
The evidence of two of the fishing party
showed that Hyde had gone back to the
house after the others left. The Com
monwealth's Attorney, Capt. James Bum
gardner, who was present for the State,
said he should not prosecute Hyde in view
of the witnesses statement, though it was
evident that she, with her weak and con-
fused mind had mistaken one of the wit
nesses for bim, out as to the other two he
should ask that they be held to appear be-
fore the Grand Jury. Mr.. Meade F. White,
for the prisoners, urged that as the wit
ness had made a mistake in one of the
parties her evidence could not be taken
with regard to the other two. Justice
Gushing sent the two accused on to the
Grand Jury, and took security for their
appearance. The Grand Jury has the
power to sift the whole affair, but it is not
likely that any ole could be convicted on
the confused evidence of the poor girl,
who, though shamefully misused, does not
seem to have mind enough to make out a
clear case against those who maltreated
her. The two young men, who were sent
on, s%trenuously deny their guilt.
