EXPLANATIoN-In repol ting the Council
proceedings last week, we stated that when
Mr.. Burke voted to allow the account of the
Superintendent, she declared that he would
not favor an additional appropriation for the
schools under any circumstances. AS the
inferenc that Mr.. Burke was hostile to the
schools might be made from that report, we
state now, that previous to the announce
ment quoted, Mr.. B. had said that the School
Board had made out its estimate and sent it
in to the Council; that the Council had al
lowed them s6O00-all they asked, and that
he was unwilling now to increase the
amount, as the assessments had been made
and levied on the original data furnished by
the various departments.

might have imagined they were only
waiting to have the thing creased to
swallow it whole. There were various
whispers that this was the "vital mo-
ment, p" ''the deep, death-like calm which
precedes final dissolution, or betokens
the crisis passed." and other touching
and awe-inspiring SMILES. Finally, how
ever, the spell was broken by Mr.. An
derson, from the committee on Presi-
dents report, etc., who reported that af-
ter examination of the papers, the COM
mittee were satisfied that the affairs of the
road had been managed most econom-
ically and judiciously, and rendered the
thanks of the stockholders to President
Kayser for his efficient administration
The report was adopted. The great COM
promise was then brought upin formally.
Major Dorman read the proposition. 1t
provided for an entire surrender of the
completed line of the Valley Railroad to
Baltimore City and the B. & O. R. R.
In consideration of which Baltimore
City and the B. & o. R. R. were to re-
linquish all right. title and interest to the
line south of Stanton, together with the
S214,ooo in town and county bonds now
held as collaterals by the B. & o. R. r. In
other words, Baltimore city and the B. &
O. R. R. were to be divorced entirely
from the Valley interests, and take as
their alimony the completed line from
Harrisonburg to Staunton. This propo-
sition was to be submitted by the prox-
les of Baltimore city and the B. & 0. R.
R. to their principals for ratification.
1t was signed with great solemnity by
Rockbridge, Lexington, Botetours, and
a number of private stockholders.
When it came to Staunton's turn, Mr..
Evans hesitated, but finally signed with
the condition that Staunton's 100000
already paid, should still remain as an in
terest in thefcompleted line and that the
remaining $50, 900 Subscribed should be
withdrawn altogether.

vi uolu SlueS VI WHICH Will De GickeC OuceS.
From the lobby you enter the dress circle of
the theatre which is arranged under the gall
lery, with seats for $40 persons. Passing
the dress circle, you come into the parquet,
in which will be 400 chairs, arranged on al
inclined plane rising from the stage. At
the foot of the stage will be an orchestra box
| six feet deep.
| From the lobby, two flights of stairs lead
to the gallery, which will be supported on
handsome iron pillars, with benches capable
of seating 800 peIsons-thus giving total of
1000 seats. Above the stage, on either side,
will be handsomely upholstered private
boxes. The stage which inclnes to the or
chestra box, will be 27x59 #. and inches
| the largest in the State, thus affording am-
pie room for the most elaborate scenery.
Above each wing of the stage, and on lev
ell with the private boxes. will be dressing
rooms. The room as it now stands is 12Ox6O
feet.
The parquet and dress Giro les will be sup
piled with handsome folding opera chairs,
and the entire building will be furnished in
the best of style and in excellent taste.
We are gratified to learn that the Com
mittee intend to adopt no halfway meas
ures, but having once undertaken the job,
will complete it in manner that will not
only reflect credit upon themselves, but upon
the city also. They propose to make all of
the appointments perfect, to complete the
painting, cornices, &c., in the best manner,
and will leave nothing undone that will con-
tribute to the appearance and convenience
OF the building. When it is finished, Staun-
ton will be able to boast of one of the larg.
est and most elegant theatres in the State
and it will not only afford an opportunity
to our citizens of witnessing some of the
best performances now on the s tage, but will
prove source of considerable revenue to
the city. As it stands now, the Hall is an
absolute dead weight, paying no revenue
whatever. Its completion will attract many
first class companies, who will not only get
the benefit Of Stanton audiences, but BY
running cheap excursion trains will draw
from ,Harrisonburg, Charlottesville and
on other towns along the line of the road.
It is no use to undertake it,unIess it is to
be finished in the best manner, and the Com
mittee having once put its shoulder to the
wheel, should not hesitate until absolute
success crowns its efforts.
On the 18th inst, Mr.. Samuel Koiner,,
Of Rockingham, purchased the farm OF Mr..
Moses Zirkle, near Fishersville, in this
county, containing 400 acres, at $40 per
acre, cash. |
