A dispatch from Chatham, Pittsyl
vania county, Va, says: "A big
Baptist revival is being held this
week at WhitmeIl. Miss Earle AT

who has been very popular among
the young people, Inadvertently
made an engagement to attend the
revival meeting last night with two
young men, Jackson Davis and

The Cold Wave.

The following from q Washington paper
OF yesterday evening is OF local interest
here:
a pretty chilly waye," said the officer
in charge OF the weather at the Signal
Office this morning a. reporter hustled in.
"Whcre did it come frOmI" asked the
reporter.
"From the Northwest" was the reply
from the vicinity Of Manitoba, where
nearly all our cold spells originate. Yes
terday morning the thermometer was 800
below zero in Northern Minnesota. The
wave took a southeasterly course, and eX-
tended over the whole OF the southern part
OF the eastern half OF the country. Down
in Florida this morning the weather is
freezing"
"How cold has it been hereS" asked
the reporter.
"The lowest was 80 above zero, and that
was about 3 O'Clock tins morning. Al
though it Is, and has been, pretty windy
here. il IL not a circumstance 10 the blow
on the Atlantic coast, where some very
severe gales have been raging, with the
wind blowing fifty TO sixty miles an hour.
1t viii not grow any warmer 10 speak oi
here until tomorrow. The rise Of the
temperature will be gradual, but to-
morrow TODAY it will be perceptibIy
warmer"

Personals and Briefs.

Mr.. Lovenstein, from the Senate Com
mittee on Public Institutions, yesterday
reported bill authorizing the erection OF
library building In the Capitol Square
out of the proceeds OF the sale OF the use
less public property.
The bill providing for the sale OF this
property has passed both houses, but needs
some clerical corrections, which can be
made without trouble in the House.
The West Virginia debt bill was passed
by In the Senate yesterday. IL had to give
way for the appropriation bill.
II Is expected that all the really necessary
business OF the session can ba concluded
by March 10th lss,-s
II is generally conceded that the DAN
vile and Midland consolidation bin can
not pass both houses unless an extra ses-
sion is gotten up; but that extra session
scheme is not yet dead.
The House Just did get through with
the Senate resolution for the election Of
the Electoral Boards in time. One day
longer and IL would have been too late.
These Registrars Electoral Boards go into
Office ION the 1st OF March succeeding
their election" II they had been elected
to-day instead OF last night they would
not have gone into Office until March l.,
1885, or the law would have had TO be
amended.
Major John w. Daniel was in the city
yesterday.
There is a great deal OF counterfeit but
ter in circulation here.
Detective Jack Wren has returned to the
city from Abingdon, where he had been to
testify in the case of the Commonwealth
against Andrew Wade, the colored man
charged with derailing and attempting 10
wreck passenger.train on the Norfolk
and Western railroad some months ago.
Wade was indicted by the grand jury, but
the trial OF the case was postponed till the
March term Of the court.
Richmond and Norfolk are so far the
only places mentioned in connection with
the State Democratic Convention, which is
to meet TO choose delegates to Chicago and
to elect presidential electors.
We can accommodate the Convention
here either in the Theatre or in the Regi-
mental Armory.
We might manage to lay the cornerstone
OF the City Hall about that time, and have
some pageantry to interest the convention
ers the evening before the Convention
meets.
Mr.. J. Z. Bars, publisher OF the Bangor
(Me.) Commercial, and lady, and Mr.. W.
II. Gregory, OF the Oxford On. CO. Torch
light, are in the city. Mr.. and Mrs. Bars
are making a tour of the South.
MIR. Edward Taylor Is in the city. He
has numerous relatives in Hanover county,
who would be glad to see him.
