The title role was sustained by Florence
Richmond, of whose acting we cannot speak
too highly. She is undoubtedly the finest ac
tress we have had the apportunitv of seeing
in Richmond for many years. Apparently
gentle and unassuming in manner, and hand
some in appearance, she is well qualified to
act the part.— Richmond Enquirer.
They were both well performed, and the
honors carried off bv Miss Florence Rich
mond.— K. Y. Herald.

AVaveriy's social event of the season occur
red at the Opera House on Tuesday evening
last. it being the Fourth Annual Reception of
the Tioga Hose company of that place. The
Tiogas exerted their utmost endeavors to ex
cel in point of elegance and enjoyment all
other receptions given by them, and that they
succeeded admirably, those who were for
tunate enough to attend can bear witness.
The spacious parlors of the Tioga hotel,
opened directly into the Opera House, which
was carpeted with crash, and handsomely fur
nished with tinely upholstered sofas, huge
mirrors,l marble top tables, and upon the
walls hung many oil paintings, presenting
the appearance of a modern parlor, in all of
its appointments. In front of the stage was
placced a novel design of gas jets, gotten up
by W. If. .ION*KS, a member of the Co., bear
ing the insciption," Tioga," the bright lustre
of which produced a beautiful effect upon the
merry dancers. The orchestra, composed of
i_ r ht pieces, was under the leadership of Mr.
HENRI SIT*r.EN. Prof. LAMOREUX officiated
as master of ceremonies. Mr. L. It. MAN
NING with Miss IIOLHERT led the grand
promenade. Supper was served in the Tioga
hotel undo the supervision of the Chief
Clerk, Col. W APSWOIM it. and was in keeping
with the other arrangements. Hon. It. A.
ELMER, President, now acting Postmaster
General, JAMES MURRAY, JOHN BAILEY,
JOHN VAXATTA, JAMES LEMON JOHN KIN
NEY and others did the honors of the evening.
Through the courteous and gentlemanly at
tention of the managers, those from out of
town were made to enjov themselves to the
fullest extent.
We should like to speak of the toilets of the
splendidly attired ladies, and give a more
complete diseription of one of the finest re-
ever given, but our limited space
forbids.
XMAS AT SAYRK —The (Christinas celebra
tion of the Episcopal Sunday School at Sayrc
took place Monday afternoon. It was quite a
novelty in its way and even more successful
than the entertainments of former years.
The upper end of the Chapel was magical
ly transformed into a large old-fashioned lire
piace. in which stood an old time crane and
pair of andirons, well blackened by use or
art. On the mantle piece above ticked an
ancient clock,guarded on both sides by brass
candlesticks, ami some mysterious stockings
dangled from the corners. Against the brick
work, which reached to lie ceiling, hung a
gas star, surrounded by a wreath of ever
green. The whole formed a most e harming
picture to those who entered tlie Church.
The exercises were opened by the Rector,
Rev. Mr. ROSEXMULLKR. After the singing
of Carols in a remarkably hearty way, and
the chanting of the Lord's Prayer, the Ver
sicles. etc.. tiie school responded to some
general catechising. The little girls of Mrs.
TIIOM \S' class then recited Scripture texts
and repeated a Christinas hymn in concert
Tim Infant Class, taught by Mrs. ROSENMUL
LKR.and which must number nearly thirty
children, of every condition, and ranging in
age from three to eight, was then questioned.
It was most delightful to hear each little
mite stand up and repeat with more or less
confidence liis or her small verse. After the
recitation of one hymn, and the singing of
another, Mr. ROSEXMULLKR announced that
Mr. 11. A. PACKER would now read aloud a
Ch'Mstmas poem. A silent and attentive au
dience listened to the well known lines.
'"Twas tho nitflit before Christmas, when all
through the house," &c.
As the reader proceeded the lights gradually
grew dimmer and the suspense greater, until
finally, as he described how St. Nick came
down "with a bound,.' there was a jingle of
sleigh bells, a dash down the chimney, and
there stood Santa Clans in person. He was
all dressed in furs and carried generous bags
from which he filled the stockings, and mak
ing frequent trips up tho chimney to his
sleigh, brought wonderful things for each
child—books for the older ones, tool chests
and magic lanterns for the little boys, kitch
ens'and stoves and blocks for the little girls,
lovely boxes of candy for every one, and fan
ov boubonnieres for the teachers. Mr. and
Mr-. PACKER, who were strongly sus
pected of having been in league with the old
gentleman, must have fell repaid for their
efforts by the happv faces aud unfeigned de
light of the children, who, after a final carol
had bi'T n sung, were bundled up and carried
off by their elders.
The beloved and faithful Rector of the
Church, and the accomplished organist, Mrs.
THOMAS, as well as the teachers, hav; every
reason to congratulate themselves upou their
prosperous and well trained school,
