THE SORCERER,

Tomorrow Thursday) night, the first per-
ormance of this beautiful comic opera will be
given at the Opera House. The box-she was
opened at Olivier's Monday morning and be.
fore IL O'Clock nearly every seat was taken fol-
Thursday night. Only few seats are left, and
we advise all who have not already secured
seats to call at once and get them.
No overture has been written for this Opers
by the composer, so Prof Eisenberg has ar
ranged one embracing some oflhe most prom
tnent and beautiful arias, which he will play
before the curtain rises.
Arrangements havs been made by Mr.. Ad
Hovelle, (who will have charge of the stage
and to whom much credit is due for his untir
ing efforts,) to produce some very pretty stag,
effects
During the first act, Miss McGuffin and Mr.
Cooke Will introduce beautiful dult from tn
Opera of"Don Quixote"-''Thou art my owl
Son."
Now, while the Opera organization is in goo,
hands, would it not be good idea for The man
agement to continue the work and give oul
people another performance. Say some tim
after Easter.
The "Chimes of Normandy Is beautifr
Opera and could be readily produced by on
amateurs.

Letter frcKn Mt. Scion.

MT. SoLoN, Jan. 2j, 1888.
The appreciative portion OF Mt. Scion and
Vicinity were highly entertained on Thursday,
December 3d. by an entertainment given by
Prot. G. H. Taylor's school. With one accord
every one pronounced the entertainment a
success. It reflects much credit on Mr.. Taylor,
as this was the first affair of the kind we have
ever had here, and the majority of the pupils
had never even witnessed a public school en-
tertainment. The readiness with which they
all responded is an evidence that they were
we'll trained. Recitations, tableaux and dec
lamations were performed, some of which de-
served special mention were 1.-THE Train to
Morrow" Mother Goose, and "How Lick ed
the Teacher" The patrons of the school feel
that they have been very fortunate in securing
the services of Mr.. Taylor.
The Sunday School of the NJ E. Church,
South had Christmas Tree Saturday even
ing, December oath, which was attended by a
large audience. The presents for the Sunday
School children were books. After the address.
several Rotations and singing, there was a
jlngling of bells, the window was thrown
open, and Santa Clause came climbing in. He
looked old and feeble, and, with great deal OF
assistance. came up to the tree. He was very
unlike he little, fat. Jolly man we had pictur-
ed him in our minds, for he was SO large that
his head tower ed above every one present. His
whiskers and hair were as white as snow. AL
though it was not showing he was covered with
flakes of snow. Some one said he was from
the North Pole. He called the names of the
children, and as they came forward he gave
them their presents.
Tuesday evening, December 9th, the Ma
| sons had their annual oyster supper, which
was sumptuous, and every feature pleasant.
Our Christmas passed off quietly and pleas
antly and very few were under the influence

He is dead he is dead forever dead
The old year has passed from us for aye
An the last white SHOWS on his hoary head
In silence unbroken lie,
Oh. pause for a moment and think ofhim,
And what he has taken this night from We,
One precious span of your precious life,
Lost forever to thee.
Oh, see how peacefully he lies,
With a lingering smile on his paid face,
Gods messenger hath recalled him
And sent q New Year in his place.
The New Year comes, and we welcome him
New chances yet we see,
And let not waste OF weeks and days
Slip once again from thee.
The glad New Year. all hail to him
The sad Old Year, farewell.
Let mortals welcome in the one,
And angels ring the others knell.

In wholesale grocery line, it will be observed
that sugars, western lard, and coal oil are
quoted higher.
Nearly a III kinds of supplies from the farm

attendance was good and several new mem
bers were added to the Post, which now num-
bers twenty eight.
The annual convention of the State Associa-
ton will be held in this city next May. Steps
were taken to make suitable preparation for
that occasion, when there will be q large at
tendance of strangers, who, 1t is the wish of
the Staunton Posi-. shall not leave as such, for
the members of the Post desire to give a well
come and extend hospitality worthy of the
occasion, and that will perpetuate the friend
ship and large business intercourse between
Stauntou and the interior and the business
relations with other cities, conducted and
fostered through the medium of commercial
travellers.
Letters were read during the session from
several of our prominent jobbers commencing
the mode of business conducted by the travel
era, and of their willingness to give the Asso-
citation a cordial support.
For some months past the Associations of the
different States.-and the Virginia very earn.
estly in its efforts.-have been communicating
with the management of all the railroads for
reduced travelling rates. and considerable
concession has been made. In securing this
for their own members, it has been mainly
through their efforts that the rates of reduced
travel are likewise available for the benefit OF
the public, by round-trip tickets on some of the
lines at less than regular fare. This being al
ready the case on come. it is not unreasonable
to suppose that all will ultimately extend
similar advantages to their patrons.
