Striblina Springs.

The annual prospectus of Stribling
Springs has been issued for 1882 1t has
been determined to reduce charges for
this season to correspond with the pre-
vailing lowering of prices generally, with
the same accommodations offered last
year. Indeed the management will be
better prepared this season than ever to
make satisfactory arrangements with
guests, and to offer comforts and attrac-
tions to equal any watering place in the
mountains of Virginia. There is no
summer resort in the State, or out OF
it, which has greater attractions for
health and pleasure seekers, or a resort
where more real comfort and satisf;ic-
ton may be had. The waters are va
ried and efficacious; the scenery attrac
tive and picturesque, and everything
associated with with the place and its
surroundings, such as command the adj
miration.
We hope and expect that Stribling
will be favored with liberal patronage
the coming season.

M. Erskine Miller, Esq. having sold
his highly improved farm on the suburbs

highly equipped farm, and his purpose
to dispose OF his herd of Jerseys, as fol-

The Bulletin expresses much regret
that the herd will probably be dispersed

know that into whatever herds they
may go, whether famous or obscure,
whether large or small, they will take
rank among the best, for it represents
great attachments in the dairy world.

The Listemann Concert.

The Bernhard Listemann Concert
Club afforded a rich and profitable treat
to our music-loving community on
Thursday night last. The house was
complimentary III a high degree. That
much should be expected of so brilliant
coterie OF musical celebreties is not
surprising, but it is rarely that expecta-
tions are SO completely fulfilled as was
the case with each rendition promised
for the evening. The programme was
one of unusual attractions throughout,
embracing those compositions best
known and best loved by all true must
clans.
In part first of the programme, the
sensation of the evening was Mr.. Bern
hard Listemann's "Remenyi''-lilze trans
lation of the Hungarian Concert by HUI
bay. In part second, Messrs. Bernhard
and Paul Listemann's performance of
Alard's Concert for two violins held the
ear of the audience for a breathless
quarter of an hour, the rapt spell of
which was broken by storm CT APP
plause that brought Herr Listemann's
and his gifted son once more to the front.

violincelloist of the Mendelssohn Quin-

pathy between himself and his instru-
ment, which has enabled him ever to
control its mechanism SO superbly and
enables him to throw a life, a soul into
every chord that vibrates beneath his
skillful lingering. Miss Lillian Karl
Smith, the young prima donna of the
occasion, possesses a voice of the rarest
quality, power and flexibility. The en-
thusiasm of the audience was unbounded

time she sang the song of Annie Laurie

City Finaucea.

AS the fiscal year is near it's close it is
proper to lay before the taxpayers OF
the city the condition of their finances.
Below will be found the report of the
| finance committee of the city council,
composed Of W. P. Tams, A. ]. Butts
and j. d. Crowle, which is an exhibit
that reflects credit upon the administra-
ton that is about to receive the judg-
ment of the people. The report speaks
for itself:
10 the President and Members Of the
C2ty Cogt71ciI
conference.-the Committee on Finance pre-
sent herewith an ordinance imposing taxes for
tle year ending March 3lSt, 1871, which, with
one on two exceptions is the same as the present
ORDNANCE so far as it relates to subjects liable
to taxation.
1t will be observed that we have recommend
ca a division of the appropriation made for
streets, and would suggest that the Committee
on streets be requested to carefully separate
their accounts under the several heads indica-
ted.
We are gratifled to be able to report that the
finances OF the city are in most excellent con-
dltion. The estimated resources for the next ifs
Cal year, from subjects liable to taxation, and
on the same rate as heretofore, are larger than
was ever known in the history of the city. The
interest on the bonded debt has at all times
been promptly paid, and the Sinking Fund is
growing very rapidly.
we recommend that the several standing
committees be required to keep their expendi-
lures within the limit of the appropriations
made, and that all unexpendcd balances stand
ing to the credit of any committees as of March
3lst, 1890, except such as apply to the public
schools ana the sinking fund.- be considered as
