The Shenandoah Valley is said to
have almost recovered from the desc
lations of the late war. Notwith-
standing the ravages of the many
armies that passed through it, and
the almost total destruction of houses,
fences and agricultural implements,
it is said that this year the farmers
will probably have the finest aud
largest wheat crop ever raised in that
region. The lower counties are
filling up with Pennsylvanians, who
are quietly buying up all the farms
they can get.
HEAVY BETTING IN ENG1AND.-At
the recent Derby, Mr. Chaplin won
$500, 600. There were plenty of bets
of ;e50.O00 and 100000. One man
lost 9120, 600; another lost e1OO,O 900.
The Prince Of Wales is reported to
have bnen interested" with Chaplin,
and to have won 100000. The
Duke of Hamilton made the wild and
enormous bet ESQ, 900 against Co.
GOO, but, fortunately for the Duke,
the bet was cancelled, for the horse
he bet against won tho race.

NEW SUBJECTS FOR LECTURES


There are a great many subjects which, al
though they are current topics of converse
tion in the community, are but little under
stood Take, for instance, life insurance,
building associations. cooperative societies,
and other subjects which may be embraced
under the general head of political economy
Although the masses enter into these things
they do so mostly on the recommendations Of
others, and without the investigation neces-
sary for thorough understanding of the prin.
ciples OF which they are based, and the laws
which govern them New, there are some few
men who could take up any such subject, and
stripping 1t of technicalites and abstraetions
present it to an audience Of average intelli-
gence in such plain and familiar style:
as to make it perfectly understood
Much good might be done in this way
Caudle lectures. generally on the subject OF
domestic economy, are not likely to become
popular with married men; but that house.
hold affairs may be treated in q manner to
interest and improve an audience is proved
by the success Of Professor Blot and a New

LAW AGAINST PRIZE FIGHTS

Some surprise has been expressed that prize
fights are carried on with impunity in the
bordering State of Virginia without interfer-
ence from the authorities of Virginia or the
police Of this city. We learn that there is no
statute law in Virginia to enable the authori-
ties TO interfere. and the same is true OF this
District. An effort was made to get a law
passed by Congress at the last session to en- .
able the police authorities to suppress any,
thing of that sort attempted here, or having
It's origin here but it failed tor want of time.
In the State of Pennsylvania law was
passed by the Legislature. after the NC GLADE
and Collyer fight, making 1t penal offence in
tnat state. and Congress will doubtless do the
same Ior this District, and the Virginia Legis-
lature for that State; but as above stated, at
present the authorities here and in Virginia
are helpless IN the matter. Major Richards
and his force were on the alert and success
fully, TO prevent any loss to our citizens from
