Nor so POPULAR.-The M'lle Fachon
troupe. which gave two entertainments in
Staupton recently, gave an entertainment
in Huntington, which was witnessed by
about two hundred persons, and OF which
the Huntington advertiser has the fol
lowing genial notice:
His Satanic Majesty couldn't have in
vented scheme better calculated to
destroy and ruin men for time and for
eternity than the indecent and filthy ex-
hibitlon of Mile Fachon's Folly Troupe.
last Monday evening in Harvey's Opera
Hall We were not present, but we found
one gentleman who was, and who. de-
nounced the performance as the vllest
most obscene and dlsgraceful OF any out
aide of the lowest dens of the great cities
| We offer handsome reward to any citi-
zen who will own UP and acknowledge he
was there.

and requesting Staunton. among the other
Valley .corporators to join In this move.
meut. and at the conclusion offered reso-
luton referring them to the Finance COM
mittee.
Mr.T.D. Ransom said that as the mat.
ter. when settled, would inevitably be set
tied in and BY the courts, he saw no reason
for Staunton taking any definite action
now. There was no danger that the action
of the legislature asked for by the Rock
bridge Supervisors, would be OF effect, If
taken. until it had met serious and lengthy
opposition in the courts. aEd in the mean
time 1t was not good policy for Staunton
to take any action whatever. but to main
tain the quiet and digni6ed position Of
meeting those of her obligations, which
exist or may exist and preserving her
credit.
Mr.. John w. Abby. agreed with Mr..
Ransom and said that he did not feel at all
certain that our interest lay with Rock
bridge in this matter.
Mr.. Ransom said that no matter what
action might lie taken by the legislature

of the road, the interests Of StaInton
would be secured by the courts.
The matter was then laid on the table.
The council ordered the payment of one OF
the bonds, 81 100, given some years ago for
interest on her first subscription to tho
Valley road, and which matured January
1st., 1879.
