wagner can here meet with anything he
wants ior his house or farm Plaster which
producing great results in agriculture, can
Always be had in Winchester at four dollars
ION less than one half its former price.
The people of Loudon and Fauquier, too,
are beginning to find their account in crossing
the Ridge to avail themselves OF our market.
Let the spirit be kept up, and our advantages
he dispensed far and wide
But we think the James River people scarce
~ state the question fairly. 1t is not rival
~ between Richmond and Baltimore, but be-
ttcaen Richmond and Manchester, two Virgin
Ia towns. Richmond does no more with the
RIoduce sent there, to benefit the farmer, than
lnchester does, In both instances the COM
sgsodlty Is sent abroad, and therefore the sug-
gestlon that the Valley Trade is favoring Bal
tlnores at the expense of Richmond, is alto
gether tallacious. Can it be reasonably expec-
tea that the Legislature viii appropriate fifty
Thousand dollars with view 10 DESTROY an in
vestment Of che hundred and ffty thousand 2
The suicidal policy has been carried on lont5
enough already-and in the present embarras-
sed condition Of the Treasury, il would be fol
IL to continue it,
Flour passing down The Valley to Winches-
ter gees to Baltimore, and does not that passing
to Richmond go to New York and other Nor
them ports Where, then, is the difference?
Does not the mere statement OF this fact ex-
piode all ground Of complaint about Swelling
the prosperity OF the metropolis of neighbor-
ing State?''
Certain It Is, nothing can now divert the
current of trade. Winchester has her Valley
Iunplke-and she acts literally towards the
agricultural interest, and will continue to do
So The fact that her activity in trade has
thrown the James River country into conrno-
ton, IS significant Of what it becomes us to do
We must apply all our energies, and keep up
the advantages which Nature and our own en-
ferpTise have secured to Winchester Rep.

We have another instance of ex-
fraordinary fecundity in this city. A
respectable colored woman, residing in
White-street, few days since, gave
birth to four children-two boys and
two girls-all Of whom, with the moth

To Preserve Ice.-Half a peck of
ice, placed in box or tub, and well
covered with saw dust, will keep for
several days. It is astonishing how
little ice wastes by melting when thus
prepared. When large quantity is
kept and the situation an exposed one,
a hole may oe. required to keep the saw
dust drained. Mahogany or other
hard wood saw dust is preferable, as it
