the State is old Virginia hospitality dis
pensed with more liberal hand than at
the residence Of p ident McBryde. Each
festive season 1t is filled with guests,
relatives. acquaintance, and friends. who
celebrate such seasons in the hearty.
genial. old-fashioned way. Accordingly,
during the present holidays his house
has been full.
First arrived his sons. Messrs. John,
Charles, and Bolton, the two former
from Johns Hopkins University, and the
latter from the University Of Tennessee,
where he is chemist OF the Experiment
Station. Later came others, among them
Major Bolton. general superintendent Of
the Southern railway, and his charming
wife and daughter. On Wednesday night
the Doctor and his charming wife, Mrs.
McBryde, gave a most delightful dance,
in which quite number of couples took
part-just enough to make II peculiarly
charming.
OF the members Of the faculty, DR.. Bar
ton is spending the holidays with his
father at his home near Winchester, Pro-
fessor Randolph is in Pennsylvania, Pro-
fessors Smythe and Pritchard are at their

raj pleas ant and animated tests of skill
among the members OF the Gun Club.
Mr.. Charles J. Mc3ryde has made be-
lleve, the best score. In the future the

the shoots. and the gentlemen will have
to look well to their laurels.

fined to his residence during a large part
OF the week.
county this winter. The physicians re-
port large number Of cases, though I
have heard OF none that proved fatal.
Two men were arrested in Christians
burg on Saturday last for shop-lifting.
When they were searched there was
found on their persons quite a variety OF
articles. amounting in all to a consider
able sum In value. Their names were
Hall and East. and they were lodged by
the magsitrs te In jail.
The thermometer yesterday morning at
Z O'Clock was at IL degrees Fahrenheit.
1 have noticed from the papers a great
number OF marriages this fall. On in
quiry flri that from our clerks Office
there have been Issued 122 marriage IL
censes since January 1. 1884, In a county
of 1900 to 1900 this is quite large per-
centage.
VERY ORDERLY.
There are about fifty cadets left in bar
racks. They are very orderly and con-
siderate, but II is a matter Of absolute
wonder what a multiplying faculty they
have when It becomes a question of
making a noise. The fifty easily be-
comes $50. and the imagination may go on
I'D infinitum.

A Charming Evening at Williamsburg

WILLIAMSBURG. VA. December e.
Especial. Jon Thursday evening number
of invited guests gathered at the house OF
a well-known gentleman and spent
most charming evening listening to choice
selections Of vocal music and the I'M
personation of the leading characters OF
several Of Shakespeare's plays. 1t was
typical Yule-tide gathering, graced with
appropriate emblems Of holly and mis-
tletoe, the sentiments OF which were fully
recognized by those present. The crown
ing feature Of the occasion was the portly
and genial bowl OF eggnog. fmbuing all
with the spirit of Christmas times. 1t
is said that in response to its magic
influence both vocal and dramatic talent
of the highest order was developed.
Never was Shakespeare more feelingly por-
trayed, and certain songs so well known
to the pen and Pencil Club OF the
Quaker City, were delivered with the
most artistic grace and humor. The en-
tertainment broke UP when the CLOCKS
were striking the hour that one more
