The PRINTER's DoLLARs.-Thep prin-
ter's dollars Where are they : We
will suppose one of them is iu somebody's y
pocket in Philadelphia, another in Bos-
ton, a third in New York, a fourth in
Baltimore while fifth is resting secure
ly in some city or town in the West. A
dollar here and dollar there cred
all over the fawns, all over the country,
miles and miles apart ; how shall they
all be gathered
The type founder has his hundreds Of
dollars against the printer the paper
maker, the building swner, the journey
man, the grocer, the baker, the tailor,
and all assistants to him in carrying on
business, have their demands, unfortun-
ately hardly ever SO small as single
dollar. But the mutes from here and
there must be diligently gathered in and
very patiently boarded, or the where
with to discharge the large bills never
become very bulky. We imagine the
printer will have to get up ap address
to his widely scattered, distant dollars,
something. like this.
Dollars, halves, quarters, andRll man
ner Of fractions into which ye divId
ed, collect yourselves and come home
you are wanted f! Combination Of all
sorts Of men that help the printer to be-
come your proprietor, gather in such
force, and demand with such good rea-
sons for your appearance at bis counter,
that nothing short of sight at you will
appease them. Collect yourself, for
valuable as you are 10 the aggregate,
single you will never repay the cost OF
gathering. Come in here in silent sin
gle file, that the printer may form you
into battalions and send you forth again
to battle for him and vindicatc his credit

chinese Sugar Cane Syrup.

We have received bottle of Syrup made
from the Chinese Sugar Cane, by Mr.. LyttetoI
w. Hartman, near Scottsvile, Albemarle, which
is superior to any we have yet seen. We triec
it on buckwheat cakes, with goods fresh butter
and found it equal to any syrup we have ever
used.
We observe in the last Rockingham Register
q communication from Maj. J. N. McCue, detail.
ing his experience in the culture OF the sugar
Cane. About the 18th of May Maj. Moo plant
ed a fraction over an acre of the cane, in drills
three and half feet apart. He subsequently
tbipned out to two stalks in hill, Is inches
apart. but is satisfied now that he erred in this
particular. His experiment satisfies him thai
the cane will produce 125 gallons of syrup tc
the acre, and that it can be proftably cultivated
in this climate.

Painful Accident.

Mr., J. S. Shannon, of Lincoln Co., No., who
arrived in Staunton on Monday last, and stopped
at the American Hotel, was accidentally shot on
Monday evening in Mr.. Hyer's gunsmith shop
1t seems that Mr.. Shannon had purchased pis.
tol from Mr.. II. and while the latter was en-
gagged in loading it the hammer slipped from his
fingers and discharged the load, the ball enter
ing the feshy part of Mr., Shannon's thigh near
the groin. The unfortunate stranger was imme-
diately taken to American Hotel, when medical
aid was promptly obtained. We did not learn
whether the Physicians succeeded in extracting
the ball, but understand that the wound is not
such as to endanger the life of Mr.. S.
