CRY AND STATE AFFAIRS.


Messrs. Armstrong. Gator Co.. OF Baltimore,
n, whose card. in another column. we direct the
ssns,;al attention Of our readers. inform " that
the ratronage Of one who has since been liberal
customer Of theirs, was first secured by their ad-
VERT. ement in the Virginian and his trade. in
ca nparatiyey short periol, has amounted TO the
sum Of $4,000. This. they say. is only zone case
amongst others that they know Of, secured in the
same way" They very properly conclude there
fore, that .'money expended by merchant in ad-
yertsing is the very best Investment he can make,
as it comes back with seven fold increase; indeed
our experience would justify in saying seventy
times seven."
None but old fges. who are at least hali q
centurv behind the Age would believe anything
else. Sagaciaus, business men like Messrs. Arm
strong, Gator & Co.. deserve to succeed. ann we
trust will be literally patronizcd by s"S W

COMPLIMENT To THE LyScuBURG MARBLE
lyunxs.-T. c. Sinding. Prof. OF the Scandinavian
language, in the New York University, has during
his visit to our city, purchased Of Mr. Gnddess
beautiful pure Whrc Marble Monument. which
ne intends to send Ia Copenhagen, Denmark. tote
'nIaced over the remains Of his mother, who died
mt the above place. The inscription on the monu-
ment is inscribed in the Danish Text. Any person
wishing to see it can do by calling ut the estab

IRisu Row-Patrick Sper, an Irishman, re-
siding on poe's Tan Yard Alley. was before the
Mayor Yesterday. on the complaint ut his brother
in-law John Mulligan. who alleged that the nj ire
said Spiller had, several different occasions,
threa'ened to take his life. From the sta'ements
of nartes V no are neighbors of the Spillers and
Mulligans, it would appear that the fist named
individual and tho spouse of the last named, have
been On unpleasant terms for sumo months pas.
but on this particular occasion they were unuSn-
ally ill-naturcd, and INDUCED in divers speeches
not Mt all suited t. ears polite. The circumstance
of their quarrel coming to the ears of Spilcr he

The Mayor bound Spler over in the sum of
S75 to be of god behavior for the next twelve
months and at the same time addressed an excel
lent temperance lecture to both ,arte', and
woln up by giving them to understand. that if
further complaint was made by either. he would
place them in such quarters rs would prelude
their giving further trouble.
LIcur WAxTED.--The want of light in the bridge
crossing james River, has long been subject Of
complaint on the pnrt of our citizens. During
moonlight nights, persons crossing see their
way sufficiently well to avoid danger, but when
the nights are dark, the bridge il often times the
resort OF the vagabonds and oalers with which our
city is infested, who cnngregate there for the dou
BILE purpose of insulting and robbing persons who
chance TO pass over. But aside from these con
sderations. it is exceedingly unpleasant, as well
as dangerous. to drive n vehicle through such
eimmcrian passage. The cost Of lights will be n
mere triae. compared with the great benefits which
will accrue to the public.
PRESERVED VEoKrABLEs. The New York Her
aid notices the establishment in that city of Il
branch Of the celebrated house If Cholle u Co.,
of Paris. which holds lateut for preserved, des-
sicatea and compressed vegetables, and other ali
mcutatv substances.
1t il said that by means Of this process vecc-
tables can not only be preserved for long time
and in almost any climate, hut they can he com
pressed within AN almost mraculousy small COM
pa>s-25 600 ratons or pIatesiul being packed in
the space OF single cubic yard.
Immense quantities Of these preserved yegcta-
hes have lecn furnished lately to the French,
English, Sandman ard Russian governments for
their armies. whilst cur own government has pro
vided them to the extent Of two millit.ns ralinns
per annum for the amy, and one million for the
navy.
AS these vegetables arc said to retain their nat
ural flavor, and cost but little than to buy
them in their would suggest 10 the deal
ers in Lyuchlnrg thai they forthwith order SUP
ply, and see il they cannot undersell our Lynch
burg trnckstcrs. 1t is really astonishing that the
price Of vegetables should continue SO high.
We verify believe what was told us few days
since by Of the oldest and best informed citi
zens of Lynchburg. towit: that living is higher
here than in any other town between New York
and New Orleans.
We paw nearly twice as much for vegetables rs
they would bring in the Baltimore market.
We understand that there were seven hundred
visitors at the Sweet Springs day two since,
and more than hundred arrivals in single
day. We trust that the Virginia Springs will do
u thriring business this season.
Ugly CoxDUcr.-Ca johnson, free wo-
man Of color, living jefferson street, while
drunk, Saturday night struck her sister, Lacy
Gatewool, who is totally blind. She alsn abused
her in such loud terms us to disturb the neghor-

in the future as also to teach her the improrrietv
of an undue use of her talking apparatus, the
Mayor ahjudged her IS ashcs
