A Delightful Entertainment.

The entertainment given on Friday evening
last, at the Mary Baldwin Seminary, by Miss
Laughton's pupils in expression assisted by
Miss Hopkins and Mr.. meyer, was one of
unusual excellence among the many excellent
soirees given at that institution of learning.
Miss Hopkins, accompanied by Mr.. Meyer,
sang with her usual charm the beautiful
melody, 1.-THE Rose Bush" during which Miss
Sallie Fauntleroy portrayed in graceful PAN
tomime the tender sentiment of the poem.
In like artistic manner 1.-The Three Fishers
was rendered, delighting both eye and ear,
Miss Hopkins singing the air, while Misses
Reynolds, Gilkeson and Fauntleroy followed
her voice and words in rhythmic gestures.
Miss Carolyn B. Crawford recited wi
much credit and responded to several encores
with happy selections.
So surely as Cervantes laughed SPANS
chiyalry away, did Miss Budd annihilate the
last lingering vestige of sentiment which
clings to front gate, by the inlmitable man
ner in which she rendered Burdette's "Gabln
Gate"
Longfellow's "Tales Of Wayside Inn," ar
ranged by Miss Laughton, were also given by
the class with much spirit and effect-notably
1.-THE Student, recited by Miss Nora Wholey
showing with what artistic sense she had
caught the spirit of the poem.

tons there is little that is new to be said On
all sides there is, as heretofore, disposition
to hold grain for better prices How much of
an advance would be requisite to encourage
more free sales is not easily determinable.
The government report of farm reserves of
corn makes large total, but this has been
looked for, in view of the accepted large vol
ume of the crop, and the influence of mild
winter in modifying feeding requirements
The government estimate of farm supplies
OF wheat. 123, 100000 bushels, is reasonable.
1t bears out the conclusions offered by the
frace Current three weeks ago. The farm sup
plies are beyond question considerably small
er than for corresponding date in any of six
years previously.
While the statistical position OF wheat as
compared with actual conditions in past years
may be decidedly favorable, the fact still re,
mains that the indications are that this coun.
try has more surplus wheat than will be dis
posed of before the new crop begins to move.
The wheat market has not shown much
speculative strength the past week. The trade
has apparently closely anticipated the official
showing OF farm wheat supplies, and calculat-
ed on the influence of the comparison with
last years estimate, rather than comparison
with the situation as it actually was a year
ago. The general tendency has been to lower
values, the week closing &c per bushel lower
than week ago for May delivery at Chicago.
Now that the government figures are known,
the market may become more settled, and
quite likely display more confidence
In the corn trade there is no new feature,
and the position of values is but slightly
changed
May wheat at Chicago closed DC below
the highest point of the week, &c above
the lowest point, and &c higher than a week
ago.
Corn at Chicago for May closed &c
below the highest point of the week, 4c above
the lowest point, and &c lower than a week
ago.
Wheat receipts at primary markets were
2,2o6,OOO bushels for the week, against $780,
900 the preceding week, and 100000 last
ear.
Corn receipts were 8 ,121 900 bushels. against
1877 900 the preceding week, and ,2S1, 900 last
year.

TWO SNOW STORMS.
How They Were Caused.

On Wednesday morning early of last
week snow began to fall here and con-
tinued till the afternoon-the amount being
to the depth of about five inches. The days
preceding were warm, and snow was not ex-
pected. 1t was soon succeeded by very cold
weather, the mercury dropping for several
mornings to aboutten degrees above zero. This
fall of snow here. as is usually the case. was
caused by storm from the Southwest laden
with moisture coming in contact with the cold
air of the cold wave from the Northwest
which CONCEALED the aqueous vapor into snow.
Though the winds here were from the North
west, the storm was advancing from the
Southwest, in the opposite direction.
1t started in Texas and swept North east over
the Southern States and passed up to New
York and East of there over the ocean. 1t
noon and East of New York city that evening.
The cold wave continued to press from the
Northwest for several days, reducing the tenn
perature as stared above
The fall of snow on Sunday was likewise
caused by storm from the Southwest, but the
colder wave had nearly passed here, and con-
sequently there was less fall of snow and less
reduction of temperature.
After the cold wave had passed, the mois
ture was deposited as rain instead of snow,
and melted the snow which had fallen, in
stead of adding to its depth as would have
been the case if the cold wave had not passed
over.
The cold weather a few weeks ago, as that
which preceded it, was not accompanied by
snow, for the reason that there was no storm
from the South or Southwest at the same time
to bring moist air into contact with 1t.
When moist air is brought into contact with
with the advancing front of cold wave the
snow falls before the severest cold reaches US,
anc the wheat and grass are protected by it as
by blanket. 1t should be borne in mind
that, as the air supports moisture in proper
ton to its temperature, very cold air is neces-
sarily dry air, for such air can sustain but lit
tie moisture.
