Little Lord FauntIeroy.

Soon we shall have at the Opera House
little Lord Fauntleroy, the greatest sue
cess of the past season in New Y ork, where
for an entire year it crowded the Broadway
Theatre. If the papers are to be believed,
those who contemplate going to see this
play-and their name is legion-Would do
well to take along at least one extra hand
kerchief. The play is an idyl-an exquisite
picture of innocent childhood-a poetic bit
from life itself. The sight Of the little lord,
loving, brave and innocent; kind and gen.
erous to all, with his tender solicitude for
dearest, Z" his hearty interest in Dick,
MI. Hobbs, Bridget; with his unconscious
victory over his grabbed old grandfather;
his final protection of Dick and Minua-all
are perfectly natural incidents in the life
of child, and go to form a play that must
of necessity appeal to the heart of every
auditor within whose breast is implanted
the love of pure childhood, and whose emo
lions are stirred by the kindness, generosi-
ty and true nobility Of a child.

No Licensed Saloons in Harrlsonburg.

On Tuesday last, Judge Mclaughlin de-
cided the last of the liquor license cases
which were before him on appeal from
Judge Grattan, of Rockingham. He decided
against the appellants in all the cases.
In that of John Wallace he refused the
application on two grounds-first, that the
location was not suitable one for a bar
room, and second, that the application for a
license was made in the name of his wife,
and the Court did not think any woman a
eft person, y in the meaning Of the statute,
to conduct saloon.
The Court next refused the application
of John J. Lamb, on the ground that it was
adjoining a ten-pin alley, which boys and
young men frequented, and also on the
ground of location, the saloon opening on
the Main street of the town where ladies
and small children were obliged to pass fire.
quently. This decision carried with it the
applications of Pat Lamb and d. O'Donnell
which were for saloons on the same street
| The next application was that of ]. P

! that it was On one of the principal streets
of the town, and was objected to byresident:
and business men in the neighborhood.
After these reflections of applications
those Of Messrs. Kayanagh and Franey
were not pressed.
So Harrisonburg continues without Ii

The Killing of Mr.. Alexander Condor.

Last week the fact was mentioned that
MI. Alexander Condor, a son of the well
known contractor, MI. David Condor Of
Baltimore, and brother Of the wife of
Sheriff Speck Of Augusta, had been shot
and killed by colored man near Athens,
Tenn, on Sunday, the Goth inst. A letter
from MI S. P. Condor. ON whose contract
he was manager, gives some particulars. 1t
appears that the deceased had discharged a
colored man from the works, and brother
of the man had been to the Office hunting
for him and threatening to kill him for it.
Mr.. S. P. Condor on hearing Of it, told Alex.
Condor he should also discharge the broth
Ell. Young Condor went to the man S
shanty, presumably to discharge him and
send him up to be paid off. Nothing is
known of what passed except that both
used pistols and commenced firing stimuli
taneously. Young Condor fired all five
of his cartridges without effect and fell
dead under his adversary's fire. The col
Ored man was arrested.

The Qualifications of Lestsr-Carriers.

A gentleman informs us that he recently
talked with a Malone man in Staunton who
was fifty years of age and who was actively
working for the ticket, in view of apromise
from prominent candidate for the Post
Office, that he should have a letter carrier s
place. 1t may be proper to state that the
law governing the appointment Of letter
carrier requires that he shall be not under
eighteen and not over thirty-ave years of
of age; that he shall not habitually use
liquor to excess, and that he shall be citi-
zen of the United States. The law provides
that only where man has been a Union
soldier can the provision regulating the age
be dispensed with,

A large and fashionable audience assem-
bled in Trinity Episcopal church Tuesday
afternoon, October goth, at half-past two
O'Clock. The occasion was the marriage OF
Miss Marie Antoinette Kinney, daughter OF
MI. John M. Kinney Of Staunton, and MI.
| Edward Valentine Hartman of Minneapolis.
| The wedding was pronounced by all a beau
tiful one.
| The church was darkened and Illuminated
and the chancel tastefully decorated. In
the centre of the chancel, and serving as a
back ground, was a pyramid OF white
chrysanthemums, evergreens, wax candles,
and dollhouse plants-while all around
were arranged white flowers in graceful
profusion. The pulpit and reading-desk on
either side of the chancel, were draped with
green vines, bearing the letters X. and ii.
done in white chrysanthemums and carna-
tions.
Prof. Webb presided at the organ and dis
coursed some of his sweetest and finest
music for an half-hour.
The choir, led by Mrs. W. L. Bumgard-
ner, sang ''Hail to the Bride, " as the bridal
party entered the church in the following
order-first, the two pages. Masters Beirne
Kinney and Harry Burnett; then the
ushers, Messrs. Hanson Tams and Lucius
G. Smith, r. S. Ker and E. Judson Gushing
Kenneth Mccoy andJ. Lewis Bumgardner.

Messrs Ashby Warden and I. Niche,
Cabell Kinney and Addison Cooke, u.
L. Nicholson and w. G.. Kinney, W.. j.

ton and Annie Camp of Richmond, Susie
Cochran and Maggie Harrison of Staunton
Matte Minor and Virgie Brock of Rich
mond, Alice Whitcomb of Richmond and
Augusta Hartman, sister Of the groom, OF
Staunton. These last two named were dress
ed entirely in white. The other brides maids
wore green silk waists and full white tulle
skirts. Miss Evelyn Kinney, the Maid OF
Honor, dressed in pure white and carrying
bunch of loose La France roses, preceded
the bride. Last came the bride, who was led
to the altar by her father. She wore hand
some dress of rich corded white silk, trim
med in Duchesse lace and cut court-train.
The usual bridal veil was worn and she car
ried III her hand lovely bunch of Bride
roses. The groom accompanied by his
brother, MI. Arthur Hartman, as best
man, met the bride at the steps of the altar.
The ceremony was performed by the rector,
Rev. w. G. Hull1hen.
A reception was held at the residence OF
the brides father, after which the newly
married couple left on the O'Clock vesti-
buled train for Minneapolis, the home OF

of friends. The presents were both costly
and numerous.

however, and unable to get up a game the

Shakespeare S tragedy Of Richard III. His
