--This world renowned philanthropist paid our town the honor of a visit last week, and during her stay in the place was the guest of the Misses Chambers. This lady has occupied her entire time for many years, and spent an ample fortune, in efforts to improve the condition of that numerous and unfortunate class of beings who fill the cells and dungeons of Poor Houses and Prisons. It was through her exertions that the State Lunatic Asylum at Harrisburg was established. She visited this place about fifteen years ago, at the time she was memorializing the Legislature of the State on the subject, and examined our Poor House and Prison, and published in her Memorial a full description of their condition. This lady has obtained the sobriquet of the "Crazy Angel," but we think the "Angel of the Crazy" would be more appropriate.

--Our Band accompanied the Chambers Artillery and remained with them during the continuance of the Encampment at Waynesboro.' The Military were highly delighted with the deportment of the Band. They were ready and willing to play at any times desired--either to serenade the citizens or furnish music for the military. Their delightful music contributed greatly to the gratification of the immense crowds assembled to witness this grand military display.
