THE KNABE CoNcBRT.-In our notice of
the Knabe Concert, last week. there were
several features connected with the entertain
ment which we omitted to mention, and which
deserved special prominence. We make no
apology now for supplying those omissions,
for it is matter of simple justice. We are
sure the large and elegant audience, one of the
largest and most select, if not the largest ever
assembled in the Opera House, will join us in
thanks to Mr.. N. H. Bennett, the manager of
the Knabe Warerooms, for an evening of such
rare enjoyment The entire entertainment
was arranged by him, and given as compli-
mentary to the citizens of Staunton, and the
success with which it was crowned conclusive
ly proved that his talent as manager of a large
instrument house is by no means his only gift

Soiree at w. F. I.

The second soiree of the year was held on
Saturday evening, the 9Th inst, to which a
number of the friends of the young ladies
were invited The programme for the occa-
sion was judiciously arranged, and comprised
vocal and instrumental music, the latter being
participated IN by members of the junior
classes of Misses Corprew's and Thornburgs
department. Many of the young ladies were
noyices it being positively their first appear
ance, and the skill and selfpossession with
which they rendered the trios-some OF them
being more or less difficult speaks most
creditably for the efficiency and success OF
their training The programme was too ex-
tended to admit of specific mention, but nota-
bly, among the good efforts were the singing
of Miss Southgate, solo, "The May Song" and
"Bunch of Violets,' solo, by Miss Florence
Stuart Both of these young ladies have
voices of exceptional power and sweetness,
which, under the training of Miss Dani' ], have
already attained a most enviable degree OF vo-
cal culture; the voice of the former in compass
and clearness suggests even brilliant possibili-
ties in the future. kecltatlonS ana readings
from the class in the department of elocution
were equally an interesting feature OF the en-
tertainment, and the recitation of Miss Cherry
Howard, of Texas, THE Wrecked Mariner, y
with an effective support from Miss Florence
Powers in appropriately rendering the hymn.
was much admired. A selection from Mark
Twain, 1.-THE Italian Guide and the Doctor,
was happily read by Miss Mamie Hovey, a
very youthful and charming debutante from
West Virginia This young lady developed
so much dramatic instinct, and her mimicrY,
both in manner and phraseology, was so ex-
cellent as to bring down bursts of sincere ap-
plause. The entire programme, and the man
ner of its rendering, was most enjoyable, and
made the evening another success to be added
to the score Of this years triumphs.

Rev. Frank Str1ngfellow's Lecture.

A very good audience collected in the large
auditorium OF the Opera House to listen to
the lecture of this gentleman delivered for the
benefit of our Memorial Fund, on Tuesday
night. The lecture comprised the narration
of personal adventures and hair breadth es-
capes of the lecturer and his companions at
different times and places, during his four years
service as scout for Gems. Lee and Stuart. His
operations were chiefly confined to theatre
within the lines of the enemy, and required
the utmost GOODNESS, daring and readiness. Mr..
Stringfellow employs no notes and uses none
of the arts of the dramatist or actor. 1t is SIM
ply the tale of months of peril and exposure
told in an easy and conversational tone and
manner, and from the lack of hesitation or ref
erence to memoranda, we conclude that these
perilous incidents have so photographed them
selves on his memory that the lapse of all these
years has failed to obscure their vividness. At
times he is SO alive to the perfect recollection
that he cannot restrain his own amusement at
the ludicrous features which here and there
disclose themselves along his chain Of adven-
lures. The large and highly intelligent audi
ence listened with unfagging interest to the
close, and we are gratifieG to announce that
he will lecture again in May, his subject then
being history of six weeks residence in
Washington IN disguise, during the war

THE VALLEY RAILROAD CRossING.-At a
special meeting of the city council held OF last
Tuesday night, the committee on streets, COM
posed of Messrs. Marquis, Gooch, Abby and
Elder, to whom was referred the petition of
the V K. r. Company for permission to cross
Coalter street and Greenvlle avenue, ON the
north side OF the c. u o. road; and CARRIER
street, on south side OF said railway, recon-
mended that the Valley Railroad be granted
the permission asked tor subject to the follow
ing conditions:
1st Said Valley railroad shall construct and
maintain safety gates of the most improved
pattern at the bridges said street and ave-
nue., and on the south side of the present arch
under the c. Il o. railway, which gates are to
he under the control, supervision and manage
ment of competent warden, to be employed
by the railroad company who shall always
close them on the approch OF a train or en-
CINE, so as to shut off travel on all roads and
streets converging at said archway, and open
them as soon as the engine, train or other roll
ing stock has passed and said railroad COM
pany shall otherwise provide for the protec-
ton and security of travel on SAID street and
| avenue, as far as practicable.
end. The Valley railroad company shall
build and keep up a substantial retaining wall
of stone on the south side OF Lewis creek, from
| point below the bridge on Coalter street to
point above the bridge on Greenville aye
nue-the wall to be so constructed as to an
| Go, sc Il
bridges; and the railroad track to be laid as
near the creek as practicable, so as to be as
| far removed as possible from the present
archway of the c. & o. railway. The width
OF the creek is not to be diminished by build
ing the wall, or otherwise.
3rd. The grades of said street and avenue
not to be changed SO as to make travel On
| these streets less easy and convenient than at
I present. The railroad to cross the street and
avenue at grade. In making these changes if
| the present bridges are removed they must be
replaced in substantial manner by the rail
road company, so as not to interfere with
the full flow of water in the channel, as well
in times of freshet, as at other times.
4th. The privilege granted the Valley rail
road company shall not be construed as i'm
plying permission for engines or cars to stand
upon the railroad track or on or across said
street or avenue.
9Th. Permission was granted to cross CARRIER
street, on condition that the crossings be at OF
below grade. If below grade, it shall be fa1
enough below to admit of bridging of the
street.
The privileges granted above were upon the
express condition that the city shall not be
considered as parting with any powers or char
tered privileges, not necessary to the Valley
company for crossing the street and avenue as
above mentioned.
The entire council was present at the meet
ing and the above report was unanimously
adopted.

Accidental little daughter of Mr.. Richard
Brooks, while playing at school one day last
week, ran against another girl and, strange to
say, broke both the lower bones of her right
arm just above the wrist, and sprained her
wrist very badly. She was taken to the house
of a neighbor and DR.. Sam'l Dold was sum-
moned.-He speedily reduced the fracture and
the child is doing well at this writing
We learn that Mr.. Brooks, who lives on
Hickory Hill, is quite i'll, and has been so for
some time
FVre-Up TO the time of the rain, fire had
been raging in the Blue Ridge and the lesser
mountains near it, destroying much valuable
timber and jeopardizing the dwellings OF many
people in its wake The danger is now over
for while.
Items-Many persons hereabouts are
stirring themselves on the "truck" question.
Heretofore farmers have considered the
raising of vegetables for market too small a
thing TO engage their attention but seeing that
toes, onions lettuce, cabbage, &C.. &C., as there
is for wheat, corn and hay and that the
the ground will yield greater profits when
planted in these vegetables, they are begin
ming to take hold, and great preparations are
being made for much larger crop than form
erly. By means of the s. V. s. W. M. railroads,
vegetables can be shipped in eight hours to
Baltimore, where there is always great de-
mand for every thing of the kind. Phlladel-
phia and New York can also be reached ina
few hours. Every inducement is thus held
out to farmers to engage in this profitable
business.
Mr. Geo. A. Coyner has established a nur-
sery on the G. s. o. railway, one and half
miles from Fishersville. He understands his
business and will, in the course of few years,
build up large trade.
The wheat crop is looking well. Freezing
has mt injured the grass.
Preparations for corn planting are advanc-
ing rapidly.
There is promise for large crop of fruit
unless it should be damaged by hail or late
frosts.
There are those who believe from the fact
that some of the bones found were breken)
that Mr.. Dorsey M. Hanger, having lost his
way in the mountains, when night came on
climbed a tree for safety from prov ling beasts
| and that, being exhausted, was overcome by
sleep and fell; thus killing himself. There is
good show o. reason for the belief
