MISS MARIE BowEN.-A very delight
full entertainment was enjoyed at the Y.
M. G. A. rooms last Thursday night. Miss
Marie Bowen, gifted and beautiful elo-
cutionst, gave dramatic reading which
completely captivated the large audience.
Her programme was well chosen and adj
mirably executed. She possesses a voice
of natural strength and sweetness, which
has been thoroughly cultivated and is ca
pable of mastering the extremes of his
trionic requirements. The m. G. A.,
under whose auspices she came to Staun-
ton. may well be congratulated on the sue
cess of the entertainment.
We understand an effort will be made to
have her again in Staunton at some future
day in costume recitals, and we feel sure,
by the evident appreciation of the audi
ence op Thursday eve, that al who attend
will feel fully repaid, and the encourage
iment thus extended by our people will adj
vance the interests of an organization which
lis credit to our city.

DEATII.-Mrs. S. s. Pinckard, a most
estimable and accomplished lady, died at
Mozart Hall on Friday night last, after a
protracted illness of consumption. The
deceased was the widow of the late Judge
VIM. M. Pinckard, of Vicksburg, Miss.
Some eight years ago, she moved to Staun-
ton for the purpose of educating her daugh-
tiers, and since that time has made her
residence here. Her many graces of mind
and character made her general favorite
in Staunton society land her death is deeply
regretted. The most heartfelt sympathy
is extended to the bereaved daughters and
earthly agency can supply. The remains
were taken to New Orleans for interment.
