another person. when he accidentally
found that OF his own father suspen-
ded by the neck in q closet.
The Richmond State has added to
its editorial staff the name of r. f.

p NJ. General Key is relieved Of his
embarrassment. His late letter JIG
perfect passport to the bosom Of the
Republican party.

SECOND story window 10y n DIR. NObe-

1t will be remembered that when

upon It's passage Through the Virginia
Legislature delegates from South " es-
tern Virginia cOntTived to force upon
it an amendment that excepted the
waters rising in Virginia and RAINING
into Tennessee and Kentucky from its
operation. Thus the pretty streams
in Southwest Virginia that are admi-
Iable for piscicuiture are left wild, and
cannot be included in the streams that
are supplied with young fish by the
fish commissioners. This is. Of course,

person named Phlegar, who, We be-

declared the whole purpose of the
readju,ting representatives, in the
General Assembly vas to elect Mr..
Barbour to the United States Senate
While laboring under this hailucina-
ton, the intellectual Phleagar dis
covered hat the end aud purpose of
his own life had sadly mistaken its
direction in his convictions upon the
public debt question and with which
he had been wont 20 regale his con-
stituency previous TO h!s election,
and to whom he now returned wijh>
out any opinions Of his own upon the
debt subject. Being completely
overwhelmed by the brilIiancy of his
discovery, that here was such place
as the United States Senate. aud that
he was at that time associated vi h
gentlemen fit to dignity SO grand

abashed, by his own ljttIeness, d

The readings were spirited and ami
mated, and the infections natural,
and, therefore, good. The music was
exceptionally fine. Prof. Dilworth
has wrought wonders with bis music
class. Without the slightest attempt
at eXsggeratiOn or fiattery. we can
say he has displayed very fine capacl-
" aud very superior discipline. We
have never had his superior in this
town as a music teacher. and the very
best thing will be to retain his servi-
ces, and of this being done there is no
sort of doubt. His Home, Sweet
Home" his own composition, is a
splendid production, and the audience
demanded its reproduction on Tues
day evening. The time kept by his
pupils is almost perfect. and this alone
will always insure excellence in music.

BUILDING IN NEW YoRK.-Since
January | work has been commenced on
100 buildings in New York. and by the
close of the year it is thought the total
will reach 1000, aggregating in value
probably S20,000,000, equivalent to $50
10000 in 1872, owing to the reduced
Price of labor and material. The great
81 number of buildings ever erected in
