Grand Bazaar.

, The colored people held grand bazaar in
the skating rink last night and the night
before. The rink had been tastefully deco
rated with flags. buntiDgs, and an array of
fancy articles that gave it the appearance
OF the Fair rotunda in its palmiest DAVIS.
Some of the specimens of fancy work were
beautiful, exhibiting taste that would
be credItable anywhere. A noticeable
feature was well executed painting of the
Episcopal Institute, the work of las.
Carter, and postal card and map of the
United States drawn by Estelle Moore.
In the centre of the rink was a laroe
square booth filed with all kinds of fruits

THE V1RGINIAs for August is one Of
the most valuable numbers Of that val
liable publication yet issued. A large
part of it is taken up with map of High
land county and mess of information in
reference to the geology, products and
schools, which is in itself worth ten times
the price of years subscription to any
one who desires facts in regard to that
county. We advise every enterprising
citizen of Highland to send 25 cents to
Maj. Jed. Hotchkiss, Staunton, Va, and
secure copy Of this number. No where
else can the same amount of information
be obtained, and it will be source of
pleasure and profit to all who secure it for
years to come.
The Virgin5as is filling a field peculiarly
its own, and it deserves and should COM
mand the unqualified confidence and sup.
porhof the people Of the two States.

A Beautiful Wedding.

The marriage which was celebrated at
the LIST Presbyterian Church, last Thurs
day night, is conceded to have been the most
beautiful and impressive witnessed in
Staunton for many d long day. The con-
tracing parties were Mr.. Philip L. Hen
shaw, of Oldham CO., KY, a graduate Of
the University. and a cultivated gentle
man, and Miss Lille Scott Newman
daughter of the late 1t w. Scott New
man, who fell at Winchester, and of Mrs.
Jas. B. Dorman, of this city. The church
was filled with a host of invited guests
and friends, testifying to the popularity of
the young and lovely bride. who, although
she had lived in Staunton but few years,
had won to herself the esteem and friend
ship of all with whom she came in contact
The bridal party was accompanied by
Maj and Mrs. J. B. Dorman, and Misses
Sallie Walters and Maggie Barbour. Of
KY, and Maria Baldwin and Bette West,
of Staunton, and the ushers were Messrs.
Jas. r. Taylor, VIM I. McCue, Frank West
and ). ). Shirley. The bride, clad in rich
cream white silk, with diamond ornaments

was one of the loveliest visions the gas
lights of that church ever shown upon, as
she moved up the broad aisle to the altar,
whilst the groom appeared the energetic
embodiment of the manly strength for
which the sons Of the Bluegrass State are
prOverbially renowned. There were no
bridesmaids, the bride entering on the arm
of the groom, and preceded by the ushers.
while the organ sounded the weIl-known
notes of Mendelsohn's Wedding March.
The ceremony was most impressively per-
formed by Rev. DR.. Strider.
Afterwards the party returned to Mozart
Hall, where the congratulations and good
wishes were showered without number.
and che famous StonewaIl Brigade Band
gave an exquisite complimentary serenade.
Mr.. and Mrs. Henshaw left on the night
train for the White Sulphur where they
spent day. Saturday evening they passed
through Staunton on an extended tour
through the Northern States and Canada.
Wherever they may journey, good wishes
follow them, and may the favorable au-
spices which attended the threshold of
their married life have cast the horoscope
for all the long years to come.

FINE FTEI1f!EWe are indebted to
Miss Ella Ruebush for a basketball of
luscious grapes, grown on the farm of Mr..
B. F. Hahn. near Stribling Springs. They
were of the Concord variety, with that
peculiarly delightful flavor which only the
pure air of the mountains can impart.
Mr.. Hahn has taken the preliminary steps
to the extensive cultivation of this finest
of fruits and we doubt not will make a
success of it.

TALLY-HO! as rendered at the Opera
House on Tuesday night by Robert L..
Downing and his excellent company, was
one of the best performances ever given
in Stauntcn. Every part was admirably
sustained. that of Hank Monk particular
ly eliciting and deserving the heartiest APP
plause. 1t was worth double the price Of
admission to hear the old stager give an
account of his ride with Horace Greeley.
We are sorry to say the audience was a
small one. Such a play and such compa-
ny merit crowded house. They are worth
a dozen minstrel shows, and onr people
should see to it that first class entertain
ments are appreciated in Stanton, other
wise we may have to put up with small
fries altogether.

ELECTION OF BRIGADIER GENERAL ~
On Wednesday last the field officers of the
first brigade Virginia volunteers, met in
the Office of the Adjutant General at
Richmond, for the purpose Of electing a
General to fill the vacancy caused by the
resignation of Genl Fitz. Lee. Nine of
the twelve field officers were present, the
I'd regiment being represented by 1t.
Col. o. B. Roller and Maj. J. w. Magru-
der.
Col. G. G.. Wertenbaker, Col. W. l..
Bumgardner and Col. G. j. Anderson
were placed in nomination from the field
officers Of the brigade. Gen. L. Z. Mum
ford and General Thomas L. Rosser were
also nominated. Five ballots were taken,
the fifth resulting in the election of Col.
Charles }. Anderson, of the 1st regiment,
Richmond. and on motion the election of
Col. Anderson was made unanimous.
Col. Anderson is graduate of the Mil
itary Institute. and although quite young,
sawsome service in the Confederate army.
He is only thirty-eight years of age. and
was junior officer in the list of colonies
in the brigade. Col. G. G. Wertenbaker
presided and Captain H. Hodges, of the
Norfolk Lightiguard, performed the duties
of secretary. After the election, General
Anderson took the officers to the West
moreland club and wined and dined them.
Col. Bumgardner and Major Gaines were
prevented by sickness in their families
from being present.
We had hoped that Col. Bumgardner
would have been the fortunate one. He
was the senior Colonel, and certainly no
more enthusiastic or efficient officer could
have been chosen. The result of the cleo
tion may not be disappointment to Col.
Bumgardner, but it is to his many friends
