The Baltimore Sun says:
“Col. Win. 1*. Craighill, upon whom do- :
volved much of tbeduty of making the York- !
town centennial Anniversary :i military and
Masonic succors, returned to Haiti more on
Tuesday. Col. Craighill bad mtieli of the
details of the monument ceremonies and
military review to attend to, and he dis
charged his duties with promptitude an I
satisfaction.’*
Tin bidders fir the contracts for building
the Valley Road extension from Staunton to
la xineion, Ya., were at Camden Station on
Tuesday. Their bids were examined and
the lettings will be promptly made. The
work is to be done so that trains can run to
Lexington next June, and connect with the
Richmond and Alleghany Road.
Riddlebergcr has so many duel* on his
hands that he ought to organize a special
force of R' adjusters to readjust his pi.-toi
for him.— Truth.
Mi s Minnie Ewan, who has made a high
reputation in this and other eit«e* as a vo
calist. sang in Baltimore last night w ith the
Hayden S .eietv. It is under- tood that Mi-.
Ewan will goto New York at an early date,
where -he has secured an engagement at
one of the largest churches, and where -he
will also prosecute her musical studies.
1L r many friends, w hile rejoicing at the
y-oing lady’s good fortune, will regret hi r
leaving the city where she has been so thor
oughly successful and generally admired.—
