DR.. WEBB's LECTURE BEFORE THE STU
DENTS OF RICHMOND CoLLEGE.-Thrlrsday
night was an occasion OF no little pleasure
at Richmond College. DR.. Webb, Of Caro-
line county, delivered his lecture on "Forces
Of Nature" in very acceptable manner;
after which it was announced that in three
quarters of an hour-just time enough to
allow the more gallantof the boys to restore
their fair companions to parental care-the
students would reassemble in the chapel.
In a few moments the Amateur band ar
rived, amid cheers, and but short time
made all :" hail fellows we'll met" The peal
Of the tower-bel was the signal for n line
Of march to the mess hall, where tables ac-
commodated the two hundred strong. Ap-
petites satisfied with the splendid supper
prepared by that excellent lady Mrs. w ool-
folk, all hands repaired to the chapel again.
Mr.. Starke of Richmond took the chair. and,
having called the meeting to order, remark.
ed se'twas not all of schoolhood days to pom
der over the dull textbooks" and intro.
duced Mr.. Riggan, who would offer the first
toast of the evening. Then commenced the
fun in fact. These two gentlemen then pre-
sided, and alternately announced the toasts
The speeches in reply were limited to four
minutes, and the chagrin OF those who dared
trespass longer on the patience OF the arl'
dience may be better imagined than de-
scribed, when it is known that they were
Immediately presented with large placard
by Mr.. Fleming bearing the cut Of coffiu
with the inscription, "Talked to Death
Please Let Up" and roars of laughter went
up as the speaker went down-or as he
stood dumbfounded. But the songs (ac,
companied by the band) "Auld Lang Syne,''
"Farewell, FAREWELL" and owe are All
Going Home" rung the welkin and stirred
the boys from the hearts, and right hearty
was the hand-shaking which concluded q
night long to be remembered by the stu

LOCAL MATTERS.

PROGRESS OF WORK on THE CANAL.-The
several considerable breaks on the first
level OF the canal were completed with hired
labor. The water was turned on the first
level Wednesday the 9Th Of December, and
much work in Strengthening the breaches
has since been done.
Ninety conyicts from the Buchanan and
| Clifton-Forgc railroad, under 7. B. Hous-
tor, division engineer, and the railroad
bosses, were quartered at Westham Fur
mace on the 4th Of December. and began
| work on the 9th. This force, increased to
157 convicts. has completed the several
heavy breaches on the third and fourth
| levels, and has made such repairs on the
several breaches at and near Bosher's dam
as to justify the turning-in OF The water.
The many breaches between Boshers dam
and Bugg's Inlet lock, seventy miles west
OF Richmond, have been sufficiently re-
paired by hired hands and by contract to
warrant the resumption Of navigation.
The packet-boat came through from Dover
Mills (twenty miles) to Richmond yesterday
evening. This morning a freight.boat with
sixty convicts on board will start through
to Bugg's lock, from which point the con-
victs will be marched to Tye river. The
other Iinety-sevcn convicts will follow on
| In q few days in repairing and strengthen
| ing the banks OF the canal as they go.
One hundred and fiity-tve convicts from
the Buchanan and Cliiton-Forge railroad,
under Charles Goldsborough. division en-
glneer, and the railroad managers, began
work on the canal one mile below Lynch
burg on the 4th December. Much work has
been done by them; and sixty conyicts
have been ordered from this force to I've
river. 1t is expected that navigation be-
tween Lynchburg and I've river (forty
miles, will be restored before the 1st OF Feb
ruary. Indeed, under the energetic man
agement Of those in charge OF the repairs,
it is expected that boats can pass through
from Richmond to Lynchburg, if the wea.
ther shall be tolerably favorable, by the Isl
day of February. 1t remains, however, that
much work shall be done in strengthening
the repairs, and this will probably keep ths
whole force OF convicts and free-laborcrs
busy during the month OF February.
The above information is from an official
source. r. ..,.... ~.
Captain Talley, OF Harman Brothers
packet line, reached the city last evening
with his boat, which was caught by the

Hints TO House Keepers.

The Christian Union publishes num-
Der Of "Hints to House keepers" some of
which we reproduce, as follows
Remember, that tablespoonful of black
pepper will prevent grey or buff linens
from spotting, if stirred into the first water
in which they are washed. 1t will also
prevent colors running, when washing black
or colored cambrics or muslins, and the
water is not injured by it, but just as soft
as before the pepper were put in.
Remember, that the wings of turkeys, geese
and chickens should never be thrown away.
Many people, especially in the country,
keep them simply to brush off the stove or
range, but there is nothing better to wash
windows. Chamois or buckskin is very
good, but wings are better and cost moth
ing, and their use is economy--utilizing
that which would otherwise be thrown
away. They are excellent to clean the
hearth or stove, to dust furniture but best
to wash windows, because the windows Gun
be easily and perfectly cleansed by them,
leaving no lint behind, as when cloths are
used. Use these wings also to spread on
paste when papering walls. There is
nothing that does this kind of work better.
Remember, that if brooms are dipped a
minute or two into kettle of boiling suds
once week, they will last much longer
1t makes them tough and plable, and
carpet is not worn half so much by sweep
ing with broom so cared for. A good
ousekeeper will see that her brooms are
all thus scalded
Remember, that old newspapers will put
the finishing touch on newly cleaned silver,
knives and forks, and tinware, better than
anything else. Rub them well, and make
perfectly dry. They are excellent to pol
ish stoves that have not been blackened
for some length of time.

Wind as q BenefactOr.

A witty writer in Blackwooa's Magazine
says that man has never yet learned to be
grateful for winds, which are among the
chief benefactors Of our race. We think of
hurricanes and cyclones, typhoons and tor
nadoes, March gales and summer squalls
with ill.concealed horror, but forget the
winds distribute the fertilizing$nows, and
spread the nesdful rains, and convey vapor
from damp places to dry ones.
The winds serves, he says, innumerable
useful purposes as water carrier, a seed
and pollen spreader, scavenger, a dry
ing machine, an artist, etc, etc. But it
is probable that the greater part of us
never entertain towards it any lively SEN
timents of gratitude, but think only of
occasional benefits, as when, on the even.
ing of sultry day, breeze springs up
and brings lis GOODNESS, or when at last
it conveys our ship into port after a weary
voyage.
Without wind all the other elements of
weather would be as motionless and az
torpid as mushroom in hollow tree.
