The lectures on 1.-The voice of God in the
world" and "the Middle Ages, their Darkness
and their Light" delivered by Right Rev. j. J..
Keane, Bishop of Richmond, at the Masonic
Hall, on last Wednesday and Thursday nights,
respectively, were attended both nights by
very good audiences. The Bishop announced
his intention in the beginning of speaking from
Catholic point of view, SO that none ofthe
many Protestants present should feel hurt at
anything he might say. His lectures on both
occasions were able, earnest and full of interest
to all who heard him. His style of delivery is
that peculiar character which enchains the at
tention of the nearer from the very first word
he utters. He is close logical reasoner and
from his premises the conclusions he arrives at
are inevitable. We refrain from attempting to
give any sketch of these lectures, as 1t would
require more space than is at our disposal to
give such synopsis would do justice to the
arguments and deductions made by the learn
ed and able lecturer.
All who attended these lectures could not fall
ed to be impressed with the deep and varied
study, keen logic and eminent mental ability
of the speaker. however, much they might diff
fer from him in the conclusions to which he ar
rives.
The proceeds of these lectures were for the
benefit of the Catholic Church here and we
learn are of such an amount as to be of my ma
terial assistance.

MRS. C. A. GLADKE has for several months
been in the Northern and Eastern cites, and
will not return for some two or three weeks
The object of her extended sojourn is to attend
the spring openings of Millinery Goods in Bal
timore and New York, in order that she may
by her personal observation and examination
give her customers the benefit of the very Ia
test styles, and make selections from first
hands. She will remain long enough to be
present at the second openings, which generally
occur about the middle of March, These are
regarded as most important, as they generally
settle the styles which are to prevail during
the approaching season.
With the facilities she will enjoy, Mrs. Il.
will be able to make selections from the latest
Paris and Berlin importations, and the ladies
in Staunton, upon her return, will have the adj
vantages of the larger cities presented at their
door, both as regards price and style.
MRS. GLADKE'S well known taste will have
an ample field to indulge itself, and the stock
sh will bring back with her will be one the
equal of which has never been been seen in this
section. 1t will embrace the latest novelties
and styles of Paris Berlin and New York, and
will afford a rich variety from which the ladies
of Staunton and vicinity can select their Hats
and Bonnets, Imported Flowers, Brocade Rib
bons, &C., from the cream of European impor-
tations. mar11-u

Relic Of Ye olden Time-An Account Book Of 1874

In making improvements in his store build
ing, Mr.. W. H. Weller Of this city removed an
old building in therear ofhis store that he might
secure more room, in which was found an &C
count book which was kept by some ONE in
Williamsburg, when that place was the seat of
Government of the Colony of Virginia in IVA.
and when Lord Dunmore was the Governor of
the Colony. These accounts extend from the
22nd of February, IVA, to December 9th, l74.-
At that time the House of Burgesses of the Col
ony of Virginia met in Williamsburg. 1t was
in this year that Lord DunmOre dissolved the
House of Burgesses because of the indignant
action that body had taken in reference to the
Boston "Port Bill'' closing the port OF Boston
on the LIST of June, because on the 10Th OF De-
cember before, persons dressed as Mohawk In
dams boarded tea ship, and threw 3i2 chests
of tea into the harbor, because the British Gov
eminent had imposed a tax upon tea which the
colonists were unwilling to pay as they were
not represented in Parliament.
Among the accounts in this old account book,
under date of November 12th,-which was
month after the battle with the Indians at
Point Pleasant, that was fought on the 10th of
October, 1774,- there is an entry of 500 bushels
of oats sold to Lord Dunmore at Is pence per
bushel, and 25 bushels "sold the Speaker, for
pound, IL shillings, and pence" which was
Is pence per bushel.

Soiree at the Augusta Female Seminary.

On last Friday night large audience assem-
bled in the chapel of the Augusta Female Sc
minary to enjoy the entertainment given by
the pupils in the school of languages. The en-
tertainment began with an exquisite tableau Of
Elizabeth and Mary Stuart and was followed
by dialogue in French, in which the ckarac-
tiers of Elizabeth and Mary Stuart, were well
sustained by Miss. Nellie Tate and Miss. Matte
Frazier, both of Staunton. The costumes of the
chief characters as well as of the maids of hon.
or Of Elizabeth and Mary were very appropri-
ate and handsome and the tableaux. illumina-
ted with colored lights. were dramatically ar
ranged and very beautiful.
The second part of the programme was a dra-
matized presentation, in French, of the well
known fairy story of the Sleeping Beauty
la belle GU bots dormant. 1t was admirably en-
acted throughout, but the elaborateness OF
each scene and tableau caused a rather longer
delay sometimes than suited the Impotence
of the audience to behold the beautiful pic
lures, which they knew would soon be presented
The costuming in this play was truly exquisite,
and the only drawback to thorough enjoy
ment of the tableaux, one however incident to
the very nature of this kind of entertainment,
was the necessarily short period in which the
eye had time to take in the many exquisite de-
tails and charming beauties of each scene,
which in the most minute points showed evil
dence of cultivated taste and thorough study
of the effect of attitude, position and the pro-
per combination and contrast of colors.
The characters in this play were as follows:
