The most important dramatic event, by
far, which has enlivened Staunton this
season was Frederick Warde's appearance
at the Opera House on Monday night last,
in the majestic role Of ''Virginius.h Mr..
Warde was greeted on this occasion with
a crowded house, one representative Of all
the refinement and culture of our city,
and complimentary in high degree to the
good taste Of our citizens as regards their
dramatic preferences. The story of "Vir-
giniusn is we'll known. Elaborated from
the succinct accounts OF our dog cared
school books into dramatic production
that in magnifcence of conception, and
richness of imagery, stands allied to some
of Shakespeare boldest tragedies, it is
one affording opportunities for the por-
trayal of the most intricate of those mas
ter passions that at some time in every
age have played across the human soul, or
lain dormant for awhile to be suddenly
swept into existence by some master
chord such as awoke into sublime emotion
the stern Roman heart of old Virginius,
when before him lay the ot-t0-be.thought.

ished Virginia into the profane custody OF
the ruthless decemvir, or with his own
hand landing her stainless spirit. inviolate
as in her sweet yirginity, into the secure
and blissful ''abode Of the gods" Mr..
Warde's exposition of this matchless role
throughout beggars description. "Vir-
ginius'' was McCullough's forte par ex-
cellence, but those who were happy in
beholding Mr.. Warde on Monday night,
and have been favored with an opportu-
nifty likewise of seeing cCullough, do not
hesitate to compare the two quite favor
ably. The pathetic denouement of 'sVir-
ginia'' was exquisitely sustained by Miss
Eugene Blair. and throughout the sup
port left the impression of being talented,
well trained and evenly distributed. The
scenery and costumes were an entertain
ment in themselves and contrived WITH
historic fidelity. Mr.. Warde leaves be-
hind him many friends and enthusiastic
admirers. Such treats as "Virginius, !"
though rare. are creative, while they stay,
of an appreciative and discriminating
community. and for that reason alone. II

EFFINGER SUIT.-Harrisonburg SPIRIT
of the VaHey:-In the case of Kenney,
trustee, VS.. Effinger, which has been pend
ing in the Circuit Court for years, the
Court of Appeals and the Supreme Court
of the U. S. for considerable time, the
Judge of the Circuit Court. under orders
from the Supreme Court, has had entered
a decree ordering the real estate in ques-
ton to be returned to Mr.. Effinger. and he
to receive rents, &c.. since the sale of the
farm to William Billheimer, under a de-
cree of the Circuit Court in 1878. The
decree provides for the deduction from
said rents the value of the improvement
put on the place. The land lies in north
eastern portion Of the town, embracing
over 60 acres. with good dwelling there
on. Whether Mr.. Billheimer. the pnr-
chaser. will lose or make, remains to be
seen. Mr. Efinger has fought this case
hard, and has had much to contend with
yet, with his idea of right, energy and de-
termination. he has succeeded in setting
aside all decisions of the State courts in
the case.
