IsT.-Every one who has attended the sol
rees at the Augusta Female Seminary,
recollects the delightful singing of Miss
Jennie Baird, pupil who received her en-
tire training under that accomplished in
structress, Miss Mary B. Crawford. The
Mozart at Richmond is the Institution
where the musical taste Of that city is
gathered at weekly musicals and where its
:approval when merited is given. The
Richmond dispatch" of Saturday says:
There was quite crowd present at the
musicale last night, and very pleasant
evening was spent. The main feature OF
the entertainment was the debut of Miss
Jennie Baird, we'll known soprano sing
er of Manchester, who sang with melody
which highly delighted the audience the
following two excellent selections ''Only
One Kiss" and my Dearest Little Heart. "
At the conclusion of each she received a
flattering encore and was the recipient of
many beautiful flowers. Miss Baird, for
the encore, in her happiest vein favored the
audience with 1.-THE Last Rose of Sum-
mer" Judging. from the great applause
given to the fair lady on this her first ap-
.pearance before Richmond audience, she
gained host of admirers, The instru-
mental pieces we're very good, and were
properly appreciated.

P. L. Yarbrough, at Millboro, in the fifty
ninth year of his age. Mr.. N. had been
! connected with the road ever since it was
the old Virginia Central and from subor-
dinate place had risen by business abil-
ity and sterling integrity to the RESPONSE

ATTRACTING ATTENT1oN.-The 1mmi-
grafton and Land Bureau Of Augusta is
attracting attention abroad. We have
seen letter to its President, M. Erskine
Miller, Esq, from Rev. W. R. BUTLER. a
German pastor of Newburg, N. Y, who
recently passed through the Valley of Vir-
ginia, in which the writer evinces much
interest in the success of the enterprise
and in the prosperity of Virginia. He
makes many excellent, practical sugges-
lions about forwarding the interests Of the
Bureau. One suggestion of his about the
railroads we copy in full. "You should
SCARE no efforts to have railroad freight and
fares put as low as possible. Almost at
the very borders of the railroad I have,
with great displeasure. seen pigs feeding
ON the finest kind of peaches and other
fruits which would, early as they are, bring
"a very good price around here, if they
could be shipped at rate low enough to
let the farmer be paid for the time he
spends IN gathering and hauling them.'
We find in the Burkeville ''Sentlnel''
letter from Rev. Mr.. Butler, to its editor,
in which he says:
"There are more than $4,000 acres of
land in your neighborhood which scarcely
ever pay farthing, though they are tax
ed. What pity !! l wish your communi-
ty as well as all others throughout the
state would do as the good people of
Stanton, who have organized an Associa-
tion to encourage immigration and colo
frao 1on ,nxr
in every county harmoniously working
with the General Agency Capt. Irby's) in
Richmond l am sure you would see won
ders in short time, even if you had not
such quantities of silver, gold and platina
in your hills to show"
