PUBLIC CONFERENCE.-THE N Y. Post
office supply company has placed in the lobby
of our city postoftice one of their handsome
writing desks and P. O. time tables The
writing desk is made of beautiful native wal
NUT neatly finished in oil-the work OF Mr..
Y. M. Bickle-and supplied with three patent
ink wells and pen-hoders, which will be a
great public convenience. Above the writing
desk proper are number of guilt frames, one
for advertised letters-where is displayed the
weekly list of advertised letters for inspection
by the public. Next to this is the place for
unavailable letters. In this frame all letters not
properly directed, all letters without stamps, or
with only partial directions are placed so that
they may be claimed by the writer's upon ap-
plication at the windows of the postoffice
Above this is a frame in the centre of the case
in which there are 81 dials indicating the ar
rival and departure of every mail leaving the
P. O., east and west on the G. 6 o. R. r..
north and south on the Valley r. r., and all
Star (stage) routes, and also the hours tor
opening and closing the P. o. These dials
will be changed from time to time to sui; the
changes in the R. r. schedules. Citizens need
only consult these dials to obtain all informa-
ton wanted as to the movements of mail
trains. Just below the dials is black board
on which is written any information as to de-
layed mails, or failure of mails to arrive.
Above all, and forming the key stone, in the
cornice of the case. is a neat eightday clock, a
first rate time keeper, with double main spring.
This clock will be kept in good order by Mr..
d. B. Hamaker Around these frames for the
public use are number of advertisements of
some of our leading merchants, handsomely
finished in guilt colored letters, the whole
making a neat and handsome piece of furni-
ture which will prove to be very useful to the
public.
The handsome cards were executed by Mr..
r. M. Kellogg, the agent, with a steel pen.
They show not only great taste, but remarka-
Bile talent. Mr.. Kellogg has put up large
number of these cases, and everywhere they
have given great satisfaction. The case be-
comes the property of the 2. o. and will be
kept in neat order for the uses for which it was
designed

HANDSOME DoNATIoN-The ladies of Grace
Memorial Church. of Lexington, a magnificent
edifice built as memorial to Gen. Robert E
Lee, have cleared the building of debt. Some
time ago debt of 81, 900 rested OF the church,
and the ladies undertook to discharge it. They
asked contributions, and up to last week had
raised $3.50 of the $1,000. A concert was
then given, in which FIVE of our talented
Staunton musiclans-Mrs. Bumgardner, Mrs.
Getzendanner, Miss Fannie Tams, and Messrs.
c. L. Cook and E. D. Eurltt, sustained promi-
nent parts. The proceeds Of this entertain
ment netted about $3.50. To secure the re-
mainder, several ladies of the congregation
wrote to prominent capitalists asking contri-
buttons. Among them Miss Pendleton, a
daughter of Col Ed. Pendleton, wrote to VIM.
Fl. Vanderbilt, of New York The reply came
promptly enclosing check for $1,000. 1t is
said that several other prominent northern
men made contributions equally as liberal.

The predominant feature in stock speculation to-
dov was the rapid rise of the Chicago and North
western stocks which closed strong and excited at
advances OF 10 and ID per cent from the close yes
erday Although these stocks had advanced steadily
from the beginning Of business, the movement did
not eliminate until the last hour. The common
stock was then selling at 140l, an advance of 2l2
per cent from the opening while the preferred had
already risen to 1929 from 1882. They closed at
14s and 165 respectively, aud the preferred was
offered at the close only at 10. The sales OF the
preferred stock amounted TO only 1.705 shares
and the price jumped from 154i9 to 100 and at the
close from 1872 to 165. Even the common disdained
fractions in the last few minutes and rose l per
cent ut each sale. Tho advance accompanied
by runners that distribution of the companys sur
plus assets was soon to be maze
among the stockholders but no Of
fetal action in this matter has yet been taken.
The other granger stocks were strong in sympathy
