SATURDAY EVENING. JUNEs.

The National Intelligencer says IF every
good farm bordering the Orange and Alexan-
dria railroad clear to Lynchburg, and all those
bordering Manassas Gap road and the Loudoun
and Hampshire road, were turned into truck
farms they would not suffice to supply what is
wanted in our markets, over and above what is
furnished by the region immediately about us.
In fact. our supply of really fresh garden pro
ducts is so limited that prices are at times
enormous. This, of course, prevents consump-
tion. As things are, articles are brought here
in large quantities from Baltimore. Often
they have been exposed for sale there, and are
stale and sometimes unhealthy. Garden pro
ducts could reach here from the lines of tho
Virginia roads just south of us in few hours
and would be fresh, good, and wholesome.

''Mr. Peabody says he has given away more
than half his wealth" What thing it is that
the favors of fortune are SO partial-and that
n,any men have not the opportunity to be as
liberal as Mr. P. We are intimately acquaiut-
ed with one man, who feels quite sure, that,
give him the wealth of Mr.. P, and he would
be perfectly willing to bestow threej ourths of
it, at least, in works Of charity-keeping the
remaining fourth, Of course, for his own use.
He thinks he would be perfectly satisfied with
the fourth. And yet this intimate, personal
friend, so we'll known to US, for more than fifty
years, has not the slightest chance Of ever
showing his faith by his works, and giving the
world a specimen of benevolence and liberality
surprising that Of Mr.. Peabody's!

RoBBING TIE DEAD.-Thc most tiendish
instance Of viainous cupidity perhaps Of the
present age, occurred last Sunday night, in
New Orleans. 1t appears that the body OF
Mr.. Charles 2. Faures, was lying 10 the hall
Of the Louisiana Hose Company's House,
corner of Pcrdido and Carondeet streets, pre-
pared for intcrment by his brother fircmcn on
Monday, when some creature, taking advan-
tage of the momcntary absence Of the watchers,
slipped in and robbed the corpse Of two silver
pieces, which had been placed, according to
custom, upon the eyelids Of the dead man.
