TEMPERANCE LECTURES AND DRAMATIC
READINGS AND RECITATIoNs.--Mr. Thos.
N. Doubtney, the celebrated reformed ine-
briate and Temperance lecturer has been
conducting series of meetings in our town
which have been we'll attended, and have re-
suited in large number OF accessions to the
various Temperance orders. His pictures of
drunkenness are vivid and true and rarely
fail to create an impression. Last Monday
and Tuesday nights he gave comic and dra-
matte readings and recitations. In conse-
quence of the inclement weather the audi
ences were small, but all who attended were
more than pleased with the entertainment.
His deIineations Of character and comic i'm.
presentations are represented by those who
witnessed them az the best ever seen in
Staunton and well deserving of the most
liberal patronage. TO morrow friday night
he gives his last entertainment at Charity
Temperance Hall, and the programme will
be an unusually attractive one. The admls'
sion is only 10 cents and tickets can be pro-
cured at J.. W. Newton's, Lipscomb's and
other places.

DEATH FROM YELLOW FEvER.-The Har-
risonburg Old Commonwealth, Of last week,
says Conformation has Just been received OF
the death Of Captain Frank Boylan, which
occurred near vicksburg, Mississippi, from
yellow fever about the middle OF September
last. CAPTAIN Boylan, during the war, and
for several years subsequent, resided in this
place. He married here, and was son-in'
law OF J. Gambill Sprinkel, Esq"
Captain Boylan was an Englishman by
birth, and a regularly graduated Civil Engi
neer. He served in that capacity, under ths
com mand of General T. J. Jackson during
| the hostilities between the States, and after
wards as a construction engineer on the
Manassas Gap Railroad. He was very capa
BILE in his profession. He leaves wife anG
two children, who are now in Harrisonburg

THE MAILs.-As the night trains on the
Virginia Midland and Great Southern Rail-
rond have been taken off, we do not receive
any Northern mail at Sfaunton by the night
express. This arrangement went into eff
feet on the LIST of December, as will be seen
by reference to the advertisement of that
company in the VIRGINIAN. or course
there is no night mail made up at the Staun
ton office for the North as was the usage up
to the lst inst. A night mail is still sent
East and West on the Chesapeake and Ohio
Railroad, and pouch made up for Lynch
burg, and for Lynchburg and BRISTOL
The suspension of the night trains On the
Virginia Midland is great inconvenience
to the travelling al d business public, but we
presume that the judicious and sagacious
Receiver of that Road found that it would
not compensate the company to run the
night trains.

EXTENSIVE PERSONAL PROPERTY
SALE.-Last week a sale OF the personal
property OF Col. Hartman took place at the
farm on which he resides, some four miles
north Of Staunton. The sale was extensive
ly advertised and the people poured in from
all quarters, so that the first day looked
more like county fair than country sale.
Col. HIS farm was perhaps more thoroughly
stocked than any in the county. Everything
that could be used to advantage in the cul-
tivation of crops was provided. and his
household effects comprised enough to start
village. His stock was Of the most improv-
ed breeds, and brought splendid prices. The
sale occupied two days and amounted to
about 10000.
Col. Hartman and his family leave for Tex
as next week, there to make their home.
In that new country, where pluck and ener-
~ avail so much, we predict for him pros
porous career. His enterprise will soon be
felt in whatever community he may locate,
| and his success will be watched with interest
| by many friends in Virginia.

Der of patients in the Asylum at the begin
ming of the year was 36l, of which 1915 were
males and 168 females. Number admitted
during the year, 1918 males, IS females.
Removed, % males and 81 females.
The Superintendent says ''the year COM
menced with only II vacancies, all in the
male department. These were soon filled,
and this department is now crowded beyond
it's proper working capacity. The largest
number that can be accommodated is 212,
which is reached by adding to the 210 report
| ed above, two who are absent without leave.
Owing to the increase of accommodations,
| by the completion OF the new building, there
were s. vacancies in the female department
at the close Of the year. These are rapidly
filing up by the admissions OF the chronic
| insane. More persons have thus been re-
cpients Of the benefits of this great State
charity, than during any previous year OF Its
history"
| The total number discharged was 50, Of
which II died and 2 eloped. The percentage
of recoveres, as compared with admissions
1
for the two years previous to the last, was
20,66. This difference is due to the fact that
there has been an unusually large number OF
chronic insane among the admitted in the last
twelve months, the new building being de-
signed especially for this class of patients.
Among those who have recovered, the Su'
perintendent calls attention to one case
which is the more gratifying from It's having
been for long time apparently hopeless

MUSICAL CABINET.-One OF the most
remarkable inventions that has yet made its
appearance, is the musical cabinet, one OF
which is now on exhibition at the Jewelry
Store Of Mr.. Paul A. Mix. 1t is simply an
organ withou: keys, operated by treadles,
and capable of executing with faultless &C
curacy and fair expression any piece the
music OF which may be supplied. The notes
are clear and distinct, and are produced by
the sheet, which is perforated, passing over
the reeds OF the organ. 1t requires no
knowledge of music whatever to operate it,
and will prove valuable assistant to Church
choirs that may be without good organist.
Mr.. Geo. w. Crizer Is the agent and will
take pleasure in showing the wonderful In
strument to all. 1t is certainly we'll worth
examining,
