night steam whistle somewhere in Oh
around Staunton was started in some un

clear report rang through the midnigh1

that it was intended as an alarm of fire
but its prolonged continuance, and its
gradually dying away as steam was ex
hausted, proved it to be simply the re-
suit of accident.

The Valley Mutual Life Associate

The Valley Mutual Life ASSOCIATION.
Some time last month William Vint and
wife brought suit against the Valley Mu-
tual Life Association of Staunton, to re-
cover the amount of policy issued on
the life of John Vint, of Highland coun-
ty, this State, number of years ago !;
and at the time of or shortly after the
institution of the suit, the plaintiffs sued
out an attachment against the defendant
Company, upon the ground that it had
disposed of, or was about to dispose CT,
its property, Or part thereof, with in
tent to hinder, delay and defraud it's
creditors. This attachment was levied
on the Company's building in this city !;
and on last week the Company moved to
abate the attachment on the ground that
it was sued out for insufficient cause
The motion was heard in the Corpora
ton Court of Staunton, last week, be-
fore Judge Grattan and q jury.
The president of the Company, George
d. Eldridge, ESQ.,, of Washington, d. c.,
a most accomplished insurance man, and
r. D. Haislip, secretary, who has imme-
date charge of the Company's princi-
pal office here, were examined as wit
nesses-and somewhat ut large.
These gentlemen, we are informe d, ap-
peared to have the Company's affairs
we'll in hand, and answered fully all ques-
lions propounded to them.
Our information is that those who
heard the testimony of these gentlemen
were pleased with their account of the
Company's affairs, and especially with
the methods of management which have
prevailed since the present officers as
sumed control.
Expenses have been greatly reduced
and every department. of business seems
to be conducted on strict business prin-
ciples.
The outlook of the Association is hope
full, and it seems highly probable it's bus
mess will rapidly improve under its pres
ent management.
The attachment was abated.

Postponement of the Charity Ball.


The ladies of the City Mission have
postponed their charity ball to some
suitable date after Easter Sunday, March
20. the last day of Lent Up to Monday
Of this week they We're preparing to give
the ball on Monday night, February 8,
one day before Ash Wednesday, the be-
ginning OF Lent. Err john D. Crowle,
i'll addition TO other generous donations,
had given the ladies permission to use
for the ball, free of charge, the large
hall on the third floor of his new brick
building OH Main street. The cause of
the postponement Was Maj. b. T. Bag
by's announcement that he will be una
bic by February 8 to carry his work upon
the building SO far toward completion as
to render its use for dancing a safe pro-
ceeding. The risk of damage to the
building will be too great. Mr.. Crowle
offered the ladies the use of the Virginia
hotel, but in view of the inconvenience
| involved it was thought best to post>
pone the ball. The committee meetings
appointed for to-day will therefore be
! postponed also. There will now be am
pie time to prepare for a grand party.
| In the meantime, however, liberal COLI
tributions from the public will be ne
eessary to maintain the good work of
the City Mission among the poor. Send
contributions to Mrs. W. L. Olivier, sec

Miss Katie Putnam, who has played
very acceptably before Staunton audi
ences at several times within the last IL
years, will appear in the Staunton opera
house on Saturday night OF this week,
January 81. The following compliment
tary notice of her play and company was
given by the st. Paul Globe:
The Opera House was packed last
night with an enthusiastic audience,
which had been drawn to see 'Love
Finds a Way acted by the popular lit
tie favorite, Katie Putnam. The piece is
very interesting, full of fun, and with a
plot SO constructed as to afford very
strong situations.
As Gay Howard, in "Love Finds q
Way" Miss Putnam out did all her form
er efforts in this city and kept the audi
ence alternately in tears and laughter
during the entire evening. The singing
and dancing speciaities she introduced
were new and were most acceptable.
The supporting company is stronger
this season than last. and it may well be
doubted if any soubrette on the road is
better surrounded than is Miss Putnam
this season.
