RESIGNATION OF REV. w. E. BAKER,
On Monday last, Mr.. j. A. Wadden. clerk
of the SEES sion, received from Rev. w. b.
Baker, who is now in Georgia. his resigna-
ton as pastor of the LIST Presbyterian
church of this city. This action will cause
genuine regret, not only among the members
Aofhis congregation, but among our citizens
generally without regard to church connec-
tion. For over a quarterpof a century
Mr.. Baker has lninistered to the Presby-
terrain flock of Staunton. Non has ever
more faithfully performed the work which
God gave him to do. His whole life has
been an exemplification of the beauties Of
the christian character. Under his foster
ing care the church in Staunton has risen
from comparative insignilicance to one OF
the largest congregations in Virginia; the
former edilice has been substituted by one
of the most cGmmodiOus and handsome
houses of worship in the South, and the
church has prospered in a remarkable de-
gree both spiritually and temporarily. But
not in the church of his charge alone, has
the influence of Mr.. Bakers life been felt.
His daily walk and conversation have left
their impress upon all he came in contact
with. No man in this community has
ever more deservedly enjoyed the esteem
of our people.
AS preacher, pastor, counsellor and friend
I his loss will be well nigh irreparable. Ii
will be many long day before the place Of
Mr.. Baker and that Of his lovely wife, car
be supplied, if ever. The congregation
have not yet acted on the resignation, aao
we sincerely hope that it will not be ac'
| cepted, -.-ss--1--s-sss

AUGUSTA FEMALE SEMINARY.-The
soiree at the Augusta Female Seminary
On Saturday, February End, met with the
success which usually attends Pro-
fessor Hamer's recherche musieales, abet-
ted in this instance by Miss Douglas con-
tributions in the shape of some star vocal
ism. In addition to the treat promised by
the programme, the night Was unexcep-
tionally lovely, and consequently the chap
ell was well filled. The programme was
extensive but sogpromptly carried out that
in spite of it's being augmented by numer-
Gus encores, at a moderately early hour
the audience departed We have only
time to particularize a few, though every
one deserved special comment. Among
the instrumental renditions, we notice
Miss S. Evans, whose magic lingering
made Paganini's "Witches Dance" almost
a weird reality. Miss c.. Block rendered
Gollschalk's ''Last Hope" inimitably and
was encored again and again. The ''Rhap-
sodie Hongroise" by Miss Spence and Mr..
Wdo UtyUlll AAiO Nv
let'' held the first place on the programme.
Miss Hollingsworth followed with ''Erna-
nj Fly with Me. y Her encore elected a
charming little ballad. Miss Douglas, the
vocal teacher at the Seminary, gave "Uno
Uoce POGO fd," and was eneored for the
third time, Miss Kate .McGufin sang
sweetly and in excellent time, "Staccato
Polka" Miss M. possesses a voice OF
much compass as well as sweetness. Her
name appeared several times on the pro-
gramme and the fair songst ress was each
time loudly applauded. In response to
encore, she sang the ''Swanee River" The
complete silence during the song and the
deafening demonstrate afterwards,
proved what power the old songs have
above all others TO move the heart of the
public.

Tho Minnie Hauk Concert.


This agreeable event, announced in our
eahamns last week, came off on Monday
night last. Despite the inclemency of the
wesaler, the largest house that has IA
vored a travelling Organization was the
tribute to Nine. Haull and her associate
artists on the. occasion. Parquette. -bai-
cony and gallery alike were filled to their
capacity and the silence and absorbed IN
terest of the audience was as intense as
3 could be desired. The programme was a
well selected one, one of Nine. Hauk'S
specialties, the Echo Song, being included,
and rendered by her With that witchery' of
voice that always sets an audience wild. In
response to vociferous encore, she sang
's'swanee River and to another, '.Comin'
fthro' the Rye A charm no less effective
ithan superb and artistic singing is the
magnetism of her manner and her gra-
eious and ready responses to the, exacting
demands for repetition, these not being
generally'met with such good natured read-
mess by artists of equal eminence. issf ii
Nine Sails selections were also happy in
reference to her quality of voice, a. con-
tralto of richness and fine culture, and re-
peated encores evinced her popularity. The
duet of herself and Mons. Montegritfo, a
scene from Ell Trovatore, was delightfully."-
sung. That gentleman, despite the draw
back of a severe sore throat. showed q
voice of decided sweetness, if not OF I'M
usual power.
AS to Mons. Pasquallis. he seemed ito be
the embodiment of sound, his powerful
standardization it possesses the quail
ties of each-lilling every nook of the long
room with its overmastering melody. lie
deserved the generally conceded tribute OF
Ebeing at present the most powerful bari
,tone in America.
Mons. Sternberg came fully up to the
uttblc expectation, his selection from
Memlelsohn, "a difficult and intricate COM
posita0n, being executed with that ease
AND precision that is the mark only of the
master pianist. No one in this gifted COM
ldnation of artists however, is more dcserv-
ing of augmentation than Mr. Chas. Z.
Pratt. to whom was confided the impor-
tant office of accompanies. The fidelity
and taste of his support is Indispensable
to the success of each of the singers.
After an intermission Of ten minutes
following on the close OF the concerted
part of the programme, the third act from
1.-THE famous Opera of Faust was sung, with
Mime. Hauk in 1.-The leading feIainine role
of Marguerite, and Pasquallis rs Mephis-
.topheIes. While this does not include many
of the gems and taking pieces of this popu-
lar OPERA there are nevertheless many very
charming numbers in it, and it is needless
ITO add that they were sung in admirable
style. The general verdict is that it was
the most artistic entertainment to which
our city has ever been treated in the lyric
order Of things at least. Nine Hauk's
dressing was elaborate, and In her half
.glistened several diamond brooches OF ex7
IRENE brilliancy and on her wrists the
same attractive pebbles.

AN OLD LANDMARK. The, Points
PROPERTY, on Main street, opposite the Ma
tional Valley Bank, recently purchased by
G. G.. Gooch and G. E. Hoge, is in the
hands of the contractors, preparatory to
putting up large brick building for bust
ness purposes. There will be three commo-
dious store rooms, and an extension of Ma
sonic Hall for the use Of the Masonic Fra
ternity. The three large aspen trees in
the front yard have been cut down, and as
soon as the vacant lot is cleared off, the
old brick building will be torn away. The
building is one of the landmarks Of
Staunton. IT was built in 1920 10y a
free colored man, named Matt. B, Truss,
who extensively carried on the shoe
making business, employing ten or twelve
journeymen. Before it was finished,
Truss suspended payment, and the prop
erty was sold to the late B. f. Points,
for 81 800. Mr.. Points completed the
building and lived in it until his death,
which occurred, we think, about 1871
Since then,his family have resided there,
until the death of Mrs. Points, after which
it was sold by the heirs.
The improvements now to be made will
add much to the appearance of that por-
ton Of the city, and convert one of the
old landmarks into an active business es-
tablishment. The contractors are, for the
the brick work, John Plunlzett, for the
wood work. IllShbaugh Bros,
