ed the classic shades of the Wesleyan Female
Institute, on the evening of May 10th, the
lovers of music had filled the Chapel to its ut
most capacity-eagerly anticipating musical

As the mellow strains of the opening march,
played by the fair Miss Thompson, fell upon
the ears of the select and attentive audience,
the lovely girls filed in, and arranged them
selves on the elevated Seats
To attempt description of such an array of
female loveliness, would require the genius of

The Exhibit of the MOIIer Organ Conn
pany.
From the Baltimore Journal,

From the Baltimore Journal
The Moller Organ, manufactured in Hagers-
town, is rapidly becoming one of the most
popular organs in America, and it is not sur
prsing that such is the case. The original in
ventor is in himself one OF the most expert and
ingenious makers of musical instruments in
the country, and under his immediate direc-
ton all instruments are constructed, and from
the time of their first introduction, the MoIler
Organs have steadily grown in public favor,
and from a limited sale at first among the local
trade, they are now used and for sale in almost
every State. The exhibit at the great fair was
a fine one indeed and hundreds can testify to
the splendid music rendered. and the many
persons already owners, lent their testimony
to the unqualified merits of these instruments.
Among the many prominent featul es of
these organs, are beauty of design, simplicity
OF construction and purity of tone, but above
all, the manufacturers claim superiority in du-
rability. so that owners have only to take good
care OF their instrument and they will warrant
their organs for years, even If in constant use.
Through a system and science original with
Mr.. Moller, he has secured the best movement
and mechanism ever found in an organ, on
which are Letters Patent. The Company now
manufacture the Choral Pipe Organ, Cabinet
and Chapel Reed Organs and the largest sta
tionary Pipe Organs. The system of business
methods adopted by the Moller Organ Compa-
ny, in putting their goods before the public,
has won for them golden opinions, and the
Journals pleased to notice the rapid growth of
this conn endable industry.

THE PRESIDENT ON THE SHoRE.-Presi-
dent Cleveland left Washington last Satur-
day afternoon in company with Representa-
tive W. L. Scott, Colonel Lamont and
William Woodward, of New York, for a
short visit to Mr.. Scott's stock farm at
Cape Charles City. The party came down
the Potomac and across the bay in Mr..
Woodward's steam yacht Wanda, which
was brought from New York for the pur-
pose. They arrived at Cape Charles City
early Sunday morning and remained till
Monday. In spite of the rough weather on
the bay the President stood the trip well,
and expressed himself as highly pleased
with what he saw of this section. This is,
we believe, the first time that real Presi-
dent ever visited the Eastern Shore of Vir-
ginia. Mr.. Tyler visited this section and
Mr.. Arthur passed through the peninsula
short time after his term had expired, but
neither of these gentlemen had ever been
elected to the Presidency.-East Virginian,

STORM AND STAMPEDE.

The great show of P. T. Barnum & Co. exhib-
tied in this city on last Saturday afternoon
and night. 1t is, without doubt. one of the
greatest shows ever exhibited In this country.
The street parade, which was about mile in
len 9Th, was very splendid and imposing, and
it alone was worth the price of admission to
the show. The canvass was the largest ever
spread in this city, and the menagerie contain
ed more animals and objects of interest than
any exhibited here before. The circus per-
formances were enacted simultaneously in
three arenas, and the acts quickly succeeded
each other, and the whole management was
controlled with the regularity and punctuali-
ty of clock work, with perfect order and sys-
tenn. The performances were varied In char
acter and each seemed to be by expert artists,
and many of them truly wonderful, and some
quite amusing, as, for instance, the remarkable
burlesque circus performance by perfectly
trained hog.
When the show was about half over-when
nine of the seventeen acts had been performed
1T was discovered that terrific wind and
rain-storm was approaching, and that there
was great danger that the canvas would be
blown down, and that amid the thousands Of
men, women, and children therein con-
gregated many might be trampled to death in
the panic and struggle for escape that would
ensue. At this stage of the performance, the
audience suddenly arose and got out from I'M
der the vast canvas as soon as the great
crowd and pressure would admit. Then there
was stampede for the city, amid clouds OF
dust driven by the violent wind in advance o.
the rain, which soon followed. Many were
drenched before getting under shelter, but
many sought shelter in the first houses reach
ed, and the houses in the Western part of the
city were soon filled with unexpected visitors,
and though many of them were strangers, yet
they were heartily welcomed by the citizens
whose houses were SO suddenly and unexpect-
eddy invaded by those who were seeking refuge
from the storm. The number of violent and
destructive storms in nearly all parts of the
world within the past week made the alarm
greater than it would otherwise have been.
The immense canvas, at the afternoon per-
Torrance. was very well filled, but such was
not the case at night, as the rain in the after
noon made the ground too muddy, and the air
too damp for night exposure.

LECTURE ON THE SUN AND EARTH.-On last
Thursday night, VIM. A. Bowles, Superintend-
ent of the Public Schools of this city, delivered
an interesting lecture on the sun and earth, in
the hall of Dunsmore's Business College.
BY the use of globes representing the sun and
earth, and placing them in the positions they
occupy in relation to each other at different
times during the year, he gave ocular demon
stration of the truth that the seasons of the
year depend upon the two facts that the earth
revolves in an ellipse around the sun in the Pc
Rod of year, and that the axis of the earth is
always at an angle of 231l degrees to the plane
of its orbit. He showed that the extremes OF
heat and cold are much greater in the Southern
than in the Northern hemisphere, for the rea-
son that it is Summer there when the earth is
three million miles nearer the sun than when
it is Summer in the Northern hemisphere; and
it is Winter there when the earth is three
million miles farther from the sun than when
1t is Winter in the Northern hemisphere. The
Northern hemisphere is therefore much more
favorable for habitation' than the Southern,
and it is a fact, though not mentioned by the
lecturer, that most of the land of the earth
above water is in the Northern hemisphere.

FIiddlebrOok News.

On Tuesday of last week, terrific. hailstorm
passed over this section, doing vast amount
of damage. The cloud came up in the North
West, and travelled South East. The waters
were higher here than they have ever been in
the recollection of the Oldest citizens The
storm lasted about twenty minutes. Some
glass were broken out of the windows In this
place. Going South East we find that Messrs
w. and N. Bosserman have lost about seventy
acres of fine wheat The fields look like they
had been moved. They also lost their entire
crop, which was very promising one. besides
a lot Of valuable fencing This is a hard stroke
upon two of our most enterprising young farm
ers. Still further on we find the crops of Chas
Armstrong totally destroyed, also that of Mr..
Thomas Lightner. Weare informed that about
twenty five hundred glass were broken out In
GreenviIle, besides great damage to the Baptist
Church in that place.
Crops look as well as could be expected here
abouts. and prospects are good for some wheat
this year.

great many of our citizens attended the
show last Saturday.
The business outlook is very good in this
section, with hopes of better times soon.
d. B. Engleman is now in his new store, and
can always be found at his post with good
stock of goods.
Our village will improve some this spring. A
little whitewash on the fencing will also add
to the looks of the town. All we lack up here
is Town Marshal and a Mayor, and then we
would be equal to Greenville.

DEMOCRATS IN COUNCIL.
A ROUsING MEETING.
A PRIMARY ORDERED.
THE UNITY, STRENGTH, AND INTEGRITY OF
THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY TO BE
MAINTAINED.


The unity and strength of the Democratic
party in this city appearing to be in jeopardy
in the approaching municipal election by fail
ure of regularly nominated candidates for the
various offices, the City Executive Commit
tee, by unanimous concurrence, issued call
for a mass-meeting of the party, which was
held at the Skating Rink last night. The no.
tice was short, and the night inclement. yet 25O
members of the party were present, represent
ing all classes, professions, and pursuits, and
decided by unanimous vote to hold prima-
ry election.
Maj. Elder. Chairman of the City Executive
Committee. called the meeting to order and ex-
planned the circumstances which induced the
Committee to issue the call.
Mr.. Nathaniel Macon Warner was called to
preside and the democratic editors present re-
quested to act or secretaries. Mr.. Warner in
brief and handsome terms acknowledged the
honor conferred on him and announced the
meeting organized and ready to proceed to
business. whereupon Major Marshall Hanger
offered the following resolution, which was ad-
vocated by Messrs. Elder, James Bumgardner,
Harry Tucker, Geo. NJ. Cochran, Baylor, Hang
er, and White.
The speeches of Messrs. Bumgardner, Tucker,
Cochran and White in addition to the earnest
utterances of Major Elder were ringing, AMI
stirred the old camp fires and glow of the old
spirit moved over the scene, where tried and
earnest democrats had come to see and learn If
the old flag was safe, and if not, to nail it to the
masthead not to be drawn down till victory
was assured. The question being put the reso-
lotion was adopted without dissenting voice,
as follows
Resolued 1t is the sense of this meeting that
