A Capital Idea.
The teachers of the uniHic department of tho
Southern Female College have organized two
iiiusio 1 societies for the benefit of their pupils;
the vocal is known as the Eulerpeau, the instru
mental as the Philharmouio. Tho object of
these societies is to train the young ladies, ac
cording to tho most artistic methods, to render
classical choruses, duos, solos, eta., aud also the
orchestral compositions oi the masters. The
societies meet once a week, or oltener, aud the
instruction furnished tho young ladies at these
meetings is extra of their regular lessons aud is
given fro® of charge.
We congratulate tho touchers and pupils on
the progressive spirit manifested in this new
movement, which wo doubt not will redound to
tho good of touchers, pupils and college.

The Burning of Col, Fannin’s House.
Last Friday afternoon, the flue residence of
Col. James II. Funniu, iu the suburbs of La-
Grange, about a mile from the oourt house, was
totally desfoyed by fire. The fire, it is suppos
ed, must have caught iu the Wall, at a gable
eud of the house, from a detective chimney.
The flames burned some lime inside the wall,
so that wheu the lire was discovered, it had got
such a start as to be beyond control.
All the furniture in the upper story was lost-
only two trunks beiug removed. The greater
portion of the luruiture iu the lower story was
saved, but much ot it iu a dauiuged condition,
The house was insured lor $3,500, aud
there were several hundred dollars of insurance
on the iutniture; but umny articles were burue \ f
such as portraits, family souveniis, Ac., or
which no moUey value cau be plum d. The h- use
was a tine, large one, with about twelve rooms,
It was situated iu the midst ol the finest flower-
garden in this section, except Mrs. Ferrill’s, and
some of the shrubbery was seriously tlumu b ed.
Ooh Fannin was iu Atluiitu wheu the house
burued. He feels very grateful to those friends
who assisted in saving his household goods,

wi h Col. Funniu aud his family in their misfor
tune. The Colouel, however, is an iudelati^a-
ble worker, aud will repair his loss as soon as
uuy man could.

This gentleman, who is quite a favorite in La-
Grauge, gave one of his unique entertainments
the hull of the LaGrauge Female College last
Thursday uight. The audieuce was large and
appreciative; in fact, the Company said it was
one of the most appreciative they had met this
side of New York.
Mr. Russell's impersonations and character
songs were just what we all expected. It is
useless for us to attempt a description of them.
They kept the house in a roar all the time.
M ss Dora Wiley’s soprano songs were beautiful.
Mr. Lumbard’s bass solos excelled anything of
the kind ever presented to a LaGrauge audience.
Mr. Pfau, the tenor sang iu a style that showed
his fituess for a plaoe in the troupe. But the
favorite was evidently Miss Anna Holbrook, aud
the "Rose-bush," as sung by her, was the gem
of tho evening. Her voice iH flu exquisite con
tralto, aud was admirably adapted to the plain
tive song the "Rose-bush."
The company is a combination of musical
stars, and our people would have been glad
to hove them remain over another night,
for the evening was one of ra e eujoymeut.
This company will always command an audi
ence of our beat people, wheneter they come
to LaGrauge.

Mr. Sol Smith RubscII furnished President
Muyr-on with the following testimonial, after e
hibiting iu the LaGrango Female College hall:
“To companies passing from Atlanta towards
Montgomery, I reoommeud LaGrauge as h kouci
town. The female college hall has a large 8
(uo scenery) with good dressing-rooms. ITi
hall has a seating capaoity ot 800—is well light
ed, and in its acoustic properties, magnificent.
Sol Smith Russell.
Mr. Russell said, in returning thanks to the
audience: "We have been highly lavored
acoustic properties of your hull, which are mag*
uitioent. We seldom tiud one so good."
We mention these things to show our readers
what a reuiaikably fine hall the college has, iu
the estimation ol those who are experience
judges of such things.
