will be run to Staunton, from Lexington,
Harrisonbarg and Charlottesville. It is
hardly of use to say who Mrs. Langtry is,
as she has been sensation in this country
for nearly year. Our readers will, at last
have the opportunity of deciding for them
selves whether they have seen the most
beautiful woman in the world. The beauty
travels and lives altogether in her own
private car. She will come here over

City Council will look into 1t, and make a
sufficient appropriation. The city now
has chance to get a fair income from It's
public hall, by the expenditure of a little
money, and from the attention our town
is attracting among travelling companies,
the expenditure would soon return itself
The dressing-rooms, also, ought to be fitted

equal to 1855 gallons per acre. The sor-
ghum is worth so cents per gallon, which
