The CULTIVATION OF HoPs.-The Peters.
burg Express OF Friday refers to the fact that
hop raising has comm enced in that quarter OF
Virginia, and says three bales OF new hops,
the first ever produced in the South for mar
ket, were sent of few days previous to the
New York market.
There is no reason why Virginia should not
engage in the production largely.
Mr.. l.. A. Beardsley, who recently pur-
chased 'kennore.'' in this place, gave us his
experience In hcp-raising in Iowa. Although
the troubles were many, and the climate un-
propitious, Mr.. b. succeeded In three years
with sIx-acre field, and mis- profits were
large. We expect Mr.. Il. will again make "a
venture in this direction, when he takes up
his residence in Fredericksburg.- .-frederichs-

WOODEN PAYMENTS IN NEW ORLEANS
The city OF New Orleans seems to have com
mitted itself pretty extensively to wooden
pavements, which are now being laid in several
OF the principal thoroughfares. The cost in
that region amounts to only one-half that of
work, and it is rapidly progressing. The N.
O Republican says:
This company has erected a saw mill OF its
own, q movable affair. to prepare the Ium ber
for the paving. 1t also has a movable sheet.
iron boiler, twenty -eight feet in length, in
which to boil coal tar, so that whole planks
are boiled in 1t at once, instead OF being m. .ly
swept by broom with the coal tar. This
boiler is upon wheels, as well as the ga awmilI.
and 10 drawn from street TO street. a movable
canopy is also provided for the men to work
under, so that sunstrokes will be rare. The
curbiDg OF the road "a separate contract) is Of

Remarkable Fecundity.

We briefly stated on Friday last that q Ger
man named John Hasfier, living in this city,
bad, on the prev day, followed TO the grave
his thirty third child, and that he was the
father Of thirty. y.seyen children. Since then we
have learned some further particulars of this
remarkable case. Haeiiier was married three
times. His first marriage took place in Ger
many when he was twenty. one years OF age
With this wife he had seventeen children. AT
four successive accouchments. triplets: twice
twins. and the lasf a single birth Shortly
alter the latter event the wife died. He was
again married, and the issue Of the second
wife was fifteen children-seven times
twins and the eighth a single child. This
wife also died shortly after the last birth.
His third and present wife has thus
tar presented him with five children, one At q
birth. The sex OF the children were nineteen
boys ana eighteen girls, only four of whom are
now iying-but whether the living are all is.
sue OF the last wife or part OF the previous
wives, we have not ascertatned. Haeffler is
now h!ty.two years of age, ct medium size,
and Of hardy, vigorous constitution. He lives
on what is known as the Factory road. within
the city limits. In some sections Of Germany
premium is awarded married people who
produce q certain number of children. Haef-
fer lived in that section, and was the recbpi.
ent OF one hundred guilders previous TO leav-
Ing. He apparently labors under the Impres-
sien that similar reward awaits him in this
country. II there is any State in the Union
providing Tor such cases. the authorities had
better send along the greenbacks.-Lancasfsr

NEW METHoDoF PRESERVING THE DEAD
There Is now on exhibition at the Moreue, in
New York. the body OF a man that is being SUBJ
lected to an experimental process of preserva-
ton. The body 10 that of q drowned person,
and is supposed to have been in the water
three days prior to its recovery. 1t is enclosed
in metahc case, made perfectly air.tight,
and as yet, although forty days have elapsed
since the commencement of the experiment.
shows No signs of decomposition. On the con-
trary. the bedy appears to harden each day
The result is obtained by forcing the air from
the case and supplying it's place with a eer-
tain gas, which the discsverer claims contains
the requisite preserving qualities He even
expresses the belief that the body, ia the course
of time, Will become as hard Is stone.

THE TEMPERANCE PLEDGE ANDTHK PRINCE
OF WALEs.-The Philadelphia Ledger SAYS
Among late items OF ne ws from England ie the
,annou cement tha: the Prince OF Wales has
taken the temperance pledge. The fact OF q
young man foregoing, Of his own free will, The
pleasure Of the bottle, and breaking up the
seductive associations which poetry, song and
false sentiment have thrown around tnem, 10
worthy, at any time, of commemoraNon and
praise. Every case OF this kind Is good in
itself; 1t is good also as serving for an example
and encouragement TO others to do the like,
and thus, the process OF imitation going on,
pure and sanitary is gradually substituted for
polluted and noxious moral atmos ph ere.
But when prince royal and heir ap-
parent to the throne takes such bold
and decided step in favor OF temperance.
he will soon be followed by large numbers
wealthy, who would have held back or ridi.
cuied n similar proceeding by less di tin
guished persoLage. Even though they may
not at once Danish alcoholic liqu from their
entertainments, they will no longer think il
necessary 70 procure the most delicatey fla
Ycr@d or costly wines to offer to the Prince. or
to press them on others in his presence. 1t is
not for us to say, though we may conjecture
what has been the directly inc citing cause OF
the, present pledge taken By the Prince OF
