Baby Found.

Last Wednesday night a negro family
residing on Newton street, short street
between Twelfth and Thirteenth and
Chestnut and Magazine, were awakened
Inv the cries of baby. They got up,
and on the back porch found mulatto
infant about four months old, wrapped
nm in an old shawl. They were very
much surprised at finding the child, but
took it in the house. Speculation was
rife as to who left it there, and at last
the rreen.eyed monster took possession
Of the colored lady of the house, and she
attacked her husband aboHt it They
had no ehildren-and she concluded that
This was one of his sent home to him, by
some of his female acquaintance. she
Thought it resembled him. lthad a nose
ike him. and big ears like his. She
kept getting more furious every minute,
until her lord was compelled to eyacuate
the house. He presented himself before
the Mayor as early as possible Thursday
morning, and told him of the baby being
left at his door. His Honor suggested
that perhaps it was one of his sent home
40 him. This knocked him cold. He
hurst in tears-boo hoo-and sobbingly
said. " No, sah-no, sab. dats none Q
mine-boo. OATS what my wife
said. and dat's-boo-hoo--what's made
de fuss tween us" The Mayor told him
to 90 home, that he had nothing to do
with mulatto babies, but advised him, if
he did not want to keep it, to give It to
some one, who would be glad to get it to
raise. The darby left, but what disposal
he has made Of the picaninny we have
not learned. Louisville Courier.

following sales Of very fine tobacco, raised
in Halifax and Pittsylvania: For W. j.
Brown, Halifax county-One tierce sold to
L. II. Frayser at Sal; 2, John K. Chill

Gillian at 5000; making an average OF
Sl0S per hundred. This crop was made by
Mr.. Brown with small boy and one horse,
and brought him S2,655.33.
This was the premium crop for which
the silver cup was awarded by the COM
mittee appointed by Halifax county, from
Messrs. Williams & Co. Mr.. Brown, the
successful competitor, was a Confederate
soldier, who surrendered with General
Lee. Returning home, he, together with
little SOD, went to work and raised with
but one horse this crop, which has proven
so profitable to him. Would that many
more Confeds could do as well.
For John S. Early, Esq, Pittsylvania
county,, Joseph Dill, $50; 8, George
W. Gillian, s45 (; 9, E.. T. Pilkinton, S92
10, Joseph Dill, s37; IL, William q; Mil
ler, s69; IL, Pilkinton, l3l; l3, l.. d.
Frayser & Co., Sl64.
This is but part of the crop, averaging
$3.50 per 100 pounds, and bringing
SO, 3,05I.s9. Mr.. Early has all his finest to-
bacco yet at home. =,
II is well to remark this is the crop that
took the splendid premium of Messrs.
Johnston s. Ficklin, bankers, Danville, Va.
After the sale, number of invited
guests who were present partook OF some
refreshments, gotten up in fine style by
Fitzpatrick, Of the Exchange Saloon
Among those present were General Scho-
staff, Mayor Mayo, and many of our
prominent citizens. The hours passed Oh
most pleasantly amid the interchange OF
sentiments and cordial greetings, and we
care not how many more such sales are
held at the Exchange.
