says: 1T is not long since that We saw the
trunks of New York woman, whose father
was respectable dry goods jobber, marked
Madame la Marquise de - the name be-
ing that of one OF the oldest of the FRENCH no

$ Some OF the newspapers say that man who
lately appropriated to his own use trust funds
to alarge amount, must have been ''deranged. y
Probably he was. But, then, there should be

very common disease. Unfortunately, its VIC
TINS seem to be perfectly sane on all matters
except money matters.
Col. Robert Withers, tie Conservative car
didate for Governor, concluded his appoint
ments by speaking at Halifax Courthouse on
Saturday last It is not the intention of the
State Committee to make any further appoint

election involves suspension in part, of the
canvass against the Constitution.

and lobby hangers Cd, in Washington, who
profess to be able to engineer" through the
Senate nominations to ofhces-'for consider

call their Influence. Some of them, it is ad-

The New York Herald, this week, is slight

VIRGINIA Crops. We extract the following
passages from business letter written by an
intelligent Powhatan farmer, whose operations
arc conducted on a large scale:
II regret to say my wheat crop is shockingly
bad sowed three hundred and sixty bushels
on good land-fnished sowing On the 18th OF
Octoher-applied ten tons OF guano, live tons
of plaster and large amount OF stable and
barn. yard manurc-ought to have made Jour
thousand bushels do not expect to make one
thousand bushels will sell the crop for fifteen
hundred bushels Corn splendid, and too&cco
very fine except very much missing from CUT
worm, notwithstanding the favorable season
for planting
The experience Of our Powhatan friend i'll
regard to his wheat crop acccrds with the IN
formation we have received rs to the experience
OF the farmers generally throughout the lower
counties of Virginia The result, we are hap
by to learn, has been more favorable 10 the
Piedmont region, the Valley and the South
west. In those portions Of the State the
wheat has yielded tolerably well. The cats and
grass are very fine, and we arc greatly chccrcd
by the fine prospect for corn and tobacco
Upon the whole, the farming interest has
more reason to be pleased than II any previous
period since the close OF the war. --Rtch. wing.

SUN Spots. During the past two months as
tronomers have observed many large spots on
the sun. They appear On The eastern side and
in about fourteen days disappear over the wcs
tern edge, often exhibiting in their transit
MANY curious changes Of form. 4 spot OF con
siderable size is row visible on the eastern limb
of the sun, and in few days may possibly be
detected by the unaided eye, il the observer
should possess keen vision: a smoked glass
will answer for shield against the hight. Dur
Ing the present summer sun spots have posses
sed very cloudy, 'flufly' character, even in
plasscs Of iro,u TWO to five inches aperture.
The present spot is remarkable for these cloudy
appearances. With telescope having an
aperture of five inches, and linear power OF
two hundred and fifty, admirable results can
be obtained The 'rice grain structure will
at times be very apparent with such means.
