LOCAL MATTERS.
Christmas.

The shop-windows, the high price Of
turkeys and eggs, the presence of holly and
cedar sapllngs at the markets, and the
fidgeting OF the young people, indicate the
near approach OF Christmas. IL will be
here day after tomorrow, bringing, il i.
to be hoped, perfect peace on earth and
goodwill to all men, without regard to
race, color, or previous condition OF seryi'
tude.
Chistmas is peculiarly the holiday OF
children; and no matter how much happi.
ness or prosperity comes in after-life il il
dimmed in comparison as memory flies
back to the joyous days when the
good mother hung the stockings by the
chimney piece; when the eager little eyes
could scarcely close in sleep for thinking
what Santa Claus would bring; when the
morning came and it was found that every
wish had been anticipated. every hoped
for toy arrived. and when life was all glad.
ness and sunshine.
In memory OF those holy days that
brought mother and child 50 near together
and 50 near TO Heaven, IT ought TO be the
wish Of every reasoning man to behave
himself decently and to do everything pos
Sibe to contribute 10 the happiness OF
others. MiTth there can be without riot
geniality without debauchery. EXceSse:
can and should be avoided. The man who
goes reeling along the street " drunk as &
lord" ruins the Christmas Of his family
and turns their "happy season" into utter
misery. Some ChristmaseS in Richmond
in the past have been shocking burlesque.
on the day of peace and goodwill. Let II;
do better Tuesday. Let us try to make
others happy; also, try to make ourselves
happy. but not too "happy."

and interesting collection OF specimens
from the famous Luray Cave. Mr. Bit
tIng's residence In Luray, and his frequent
valuable services TO the Cave Company, en-
abled him 10 secure this choice collection,

Drislng stalactites and their corresponding
stalagmites, helactites, aragonites. and a
great many beautiful and curious crystal
izations in the shape Of sponges. hearts,
pebbles, pipe-stems, shells, roses, DC. The
freaks OF wateT-iormation displayed are
truly wonderful. The specimens OF po-
lished stalagmite-surfaces are very rich.
There are also Indian relics from the farm
OF Reuben Rufiner, Esq, Page county.
This large and valuable collection has
been within the past few days handsomely
mounted in a hlack-walnut case by the
donor, who has succeeded in following ac-
curately the original cave positions. The
collection will bear the name OF the giver,

the lovers OF art in nature.
