which 1t can be accomplished, unanimous ynt. :;

TO sleep forever.
RAISING PoULrRY.-It is gratifying to
see that many of tracts of poor land in the
neighborhood of the city, who have heretofore con-
tented themselves with tending few patches OF In
duce another crop that will prove more profitable, II
properly attended to-we mean that of raising pou1-
try. We do not desire to see our people go crazy
with the chicken Jcrey, they have done In some
other sections OF the country but there cannot be
shadow of doubt that the rearing ct peultry will
pay small farmers larger profit for their labor than
they can possibly realise in any other way At the
present time there great varieties of chickens Of
tered for sale, among them stand most prominent
the Cochin China, Shanghai, and Chittagong. The
latter OF these, we think preferable they are har-
der, better feeders ard industrious than the
Shanghai, and much larger than the Cochin China -
But either will do WELL if regularly fed and properly
attended TO- AT the price at which poultry and eggs
are now selling, 1t seems to US that farmer could
soon make fortune by rearing them for market -
ne &C least would make them pay handsomely for the
trouble of breeding, aud always have at command an
article that would never fail bring the cash. Yes
terdsy morning, Messrs A. Mott L Co. sold by auc-
ton several coops of fine BIRDS that brought high
prices They were mostly purchased by gentlemen
who intend to breed from them.
MORE VEGETABLEs.-We received yes
terday from Mr.. R. B. TYLER, of this city, MAN.
mo'h cabbage, weighing l7k pounds. 1t was grown
by him. and proves thar he has skill as horti.
culturist. The people seem to know very well the
passion of the Dispatch for vegetables We confess
frankly weakness in that line. Cabbages are, in
our estimation entitled to position of very elevated
respcctability among vegetables. In any form they
are good As cold slough, boiled or stewed, fried
for breakfast, they are delicious. No wonder General
TAYLOR was fond of them. They rank with the po-
tato. But go in for vegetables and fruits in gene
raj, except Elephants and PImPkins-the latter of
men nor cattle. Especially do we love green things
We are of opinion that something green" is es-
ssntial to mankind it is to horses and asses. We
led by the energy of sentiments in this re-
spect to hold in especial admiration the whose
skill and industry raises very fine vegetables. We
shall always be ready to give him blast from our
horn.
FINE HoTELs.-Few cities in the Union
can compare with ours in fue hotels either in out
ward appearance or in the style in which they are
kept Smith, of the American, one of the best fe'-
lows in the world, has added many mproy ements to
his fine house within the past twelve months Bal
hotel directly opposite his present house Col Ward.
fthe Columbian, is rapidly completing a new edi.
ton Mr.. Roy of the City Hotel has made many i'm
public. Darracott, at the Powhatan, has given his
house dress frcm top to bottom. A nd the
Monumental 9th street is in better condition than
it has been for years Besides these large unu1-
Der of boarding houses in every section Of the CITY,
many of them kept in the most fashionable style
and vet with all these accommodations Richmond
needs at least two first class hotels to accom-
uod4te the large travel now going 1t is little
strange to that capitalists seeing the necessity for
lar &c and commodious hotel do not go to work and
erect magnificent one the business part of the
cry A few years hence, when property is selling at
double its present price, this will have to be done
it were better, therefore, that it could be done
at once.
1MPUDENCE PUNIsHED.--Bef0re the Nav
or yesterday, arraigned a free negro bcy named
John Dixon abb ut eighteen years of age charged
with assaulting and beating with stick Josephine
Cronin. small white girl, Wednesday night last
Josephine stated that she going from her aunt,s
to her own home, about7 O'Clock at night when ON
arriving near the corner OF 18th and Main streets she
met the prisoner, who first charged her with beating
his brother. and then struck her the back with
stick. This alarmed her very much and she started
up the hill to her auns but being pursued by
the negro, she lodged behind pile of plank in rear
of Mr.. Ross factory, where the prisoner followed
and gain struck her. At this time watchmen Boze
and Wasserman happened fortunately to be passing
and B. seeing female fleeing from some one pur-
her. leaving W. to catch the person if he should
attempt to escape. AS B. turned the pile of plank
she prisoner him and fed but in his haste to |
make clear escape, directly into the arms of
who captured and cas- ged him.
The Mayor thought the outrage gross one, that
he ordered the accused TO be taken to the Valley
there to receive forty stripes, save one.
.TREsPAssISG.-A very queer case came
before the Mayor yesterday, upon the merits of
W whch we desire to say merely word John Cotrell,
formerly an employee IN the Tredegar Works, was
arraigned for trespsssins upon the premises. Mr..
Archer, one of the managers at the works stated
that on Wednesday last be discharged the accused
that yesterday morning he returned to the works and
interfered wit its operations, when he again or
dered to leave; but refusing to do So officer Tyler
stated that he merely returned the works to get
the wages due him for services rendered. Having
bsen discharged, he wanted his money to leave the
city, and nothing more. He had no desire to inter
fefe with any thing anybody, but thought he had
perfect right to settlement after his discharge
Mr.. Archer replied that the prisoner made threats
to do him bodily harm, and If he would to the
the next pay day, which would be the first Sa-
turday after the 18th instant, he should have his
money
In all large establishments it is necessary to have
gular time for sett enents but neither clerk
an employer has right after dlschargpg an en-
ployee, to compel hin. to wait a week or two for
settlement Such course as this is unjust. and for
this reason: The workman who has been discharged
may have but few dollars owing to him. and if he
the due him before he collect IT, he is no
better OF than if he had left it in his employers
hands altogether Whatever the time for settlement
when an employee is dismissed, he should be paid
Oft. The Conrt discharged the prisoner.
GALLANT CoHDUcT-As watchman Nc
Cormick was making his rounds along the margin of
the canal last "Wednesday night about half past eight
O'Clock, he discovered an unfortunate little negro
girl the servant of Mrs Cronan. who had fallen
into the canal, and was about drowning. Mr. McCcr-
mick seeing the condition of the poor creature with
that cool quick determination for which he is so cei
ebrated, Immediately matured his plans and putting
them promptly into execution, had the satisfae
tion ofknowing that he had saved a human being
from a watery grave. The girl taken home to
her mistress and properly cared for
