Death of a Confederate Colonel.

Col. Samuel D. Lowe died at Buena Wis
ia on Sunday last, at the residence of his
son-in-law, MI. Earman, in his Goth year.
Col. Lowe was from North Carolina and
commanded the North Carolina regiment
which at the battle of the Wilderness was
thought to have delivered the fire that NOR
tally wounded Stonewall Jackson. While
it was something that nobody could be
blamed for, the darkness of the night pre-
venting officers and men from seeing any
thing, the fact gave Col. Lowe great
concern to the day of his death. He left at
his death a diary from which he had never
omitted a single day S entry, and which was
accurately kept up during the four years
of the WAL.
He was Royal Arch Mason and was
made a Master Mason in Mt. Hermon
Lodge at Asheville, N. G., where he was in
command after being wounded in battle.
His Masonic credentials which were made
out in 1865, tell of the war scarcity of ma
terial-the paper being of the coarsest sort
manufactured of straw and without any
printing on it. He was brave and efficient
Confederate officer and gentleman of cul-
ture.

The Imperial Mlnstrels at the Opera House

The amusement taste of the Staunton
public is just ready for a minstrel enter
talnment, and it will have good one Mon
day night, in Aliens Imperial Minstrels.
This troupe contains the best banjo men in
the profession. The Roanoke Herald of
Saturday speaking of it says:
1t held the boards at the Opera House last
night and gave to the audience one of the
richest and rarest treats that had ever been
shown in Roanoke. Above par in every par
ticular, in fact nothing but praise can be said
of the whole performance Every one of its
fifteen members are specialists of high merit
and to mention one part Of the performance
as good feature would be to mention the
whole. It is good from beginning to end and
regret comes with the falling OF the curtain.
