Lexington Presbytery.

In our local columns will be found a
full report of the recent session of Lex
ington Presbytery, which met at
Waynesboro' on last Wednesday and
adjourned on Saturday. The session
was in many respects an interesting one.
The attendance of delegates was much
larger than usual, and besides the regu-
lar business of Presbytery, interesting
sermons were preached morning and
night of every day to large and atten-
tive audiences. The Presbytery met in
the handsome new edifice recently fin
ished, paid for and dedicated by the
Presbyterians of Waynesboro'. and OF
which they are justly proud. Notwith-
standing the large number of delegates
and visitors present the hospitality OF
the people was equal to the emergency,
and every one, we feel satisfied, must
have gone away hoping that he may
soon again have the pleasure Of meeting
the warm-hearted people of "Llttle

STORM AND FIRE, WAR AND FAMINE.
-Advices from China state that letters
are published generating Vice Consul
General Bradley from the charges OF
opening mail letters, but leaving him
still guilty of purloining and copying
private correspondence.
A great torn ado visited Canton on the
18th ultimo. Thousands of houses were
destroyed or damaged by the wind, and
an immense waterspout that broke over
the city. In the midst of the confusion,
four fires broke out, supposed of incen-
diary origin, as many robberies follow
ed. Five hundred Chinese are reported
killed. The western Chinese army is
overrunning Kashgar and annihilating
the inhabitants, including women and
children. The famine distress continues
undated. No rain has fallen in the
province for years past.

GRAND MUSICAL FESTIVAL IN GIN
CINNATI.-The musical festival which
commences in Cincinnati to-day and
which will continue four days, promises,
as The State says, to be the most splen-
did musical event ever known in this
country. Theodore Thomas, with an
orchestra of one hundred performers
the grand organ in Springer Hall-the
largest instrument in America-and the
well-drilled chorus of seven hundred
voices will combine to produce a volume
of harmony that would greatly surprise
and delight the old classic composers
should they happen to be in attendance
Cincinnati is great place for high
musical art, and through the enterprise
of her munificent citizens is constantly
adding to her reputation as an art CEN

LIQUOR IN ALBEMARLE COUNTY,
In his letter of last Tuesday, "Hern-
don," the Charlottesville correspondent
Of The State, says:
Judge Cochran, county judge, in
granting licenses to-day Tuesday, sta
ted that our county statistics showed
that the people of Albemarle spent an
nually in liquor 100000. That the re-
port from the registers showed that
they spent $4,000 annually, and he
(the judge thought that not more than
half was reported. The Judge further
remarked that "the whole State debt
could be paid ia two years if the peo-
pie would devote what they spent in
liquor TO this object-and yet the people
say they cannot bear ten cents increase
in taxes"
