DESCRIPTIVE CATALoGUE.-We have re-
ceived from Messrs. Allan & Johnson their
annual descriptive catalogue of garden
seeds. The list embraces all the principal
vegetables which are raised in this State,
and not only gives the prices at which these
different seeds are sold, but describes the
plant itself and the proper mode of cul-
ture. These gentlemen guarantee their
seeds, and will send them, postage paid,
upon the receipt Of the price enumerated
in this catalogue. In their introduction
many useful hints are given to old as well
as amateur gardeners, with specific direc-
tons how o,prepare the soil, and what
kind of manpres are best adapted to each
variety of plants. All persons who raise
vegetables should procure copy Of this
work. The last pages contain few brief
practical directions for the cultivation and
management of flowers.

TIE STAY LAWN General Orders No.
149, issued by General Stoneman Decem-
Der %, is the following paragraph:
"1. That the stay of executions against
personal property, so far only as the
same exists under laws now in force,
and which by the provisions thereof ex-
pires on the said 1st day of January, 1869,

fore the said last named day the debtor
shall have paid all the interest then due
and owing thereon, such execution shall be
further stayed until other orders from these
or superior headquarters"
There has been o difference of opinion
among the lawyers Of the State in regard
to the Interpretation of the above, but we
are now able to state by authority that
cit is intended by the order to give
the debtor until the 1st Of July in
which to pay all the interest then due,
up to which date, July lst, 1869, all
executions against personal property are
stayed for either interest or principal" We
are further authorized to state that " those
debtors who on the lst of July shall have
failed to pay up all back interest that may
be then due, may expect to receive no fur
ther extension of time on any portion oi
either the principal or interest"

The CRY Gas WoRKs-VIsIT OF 1NsPEC-
TIoN.-The Committee on Light of the City
Council, consisting Of Messrs. E. \. J.
Clopton, c. D. Yale, and George W. Smith,
Saturday afternoon paid their regular an
nual visit of inspection to the City Gas
Works. Several representatives of the press
accompanied them, and the party were
courteously received by Superintendent
Bragg and his assistants. The tour of the
works was made under the conduct of
Mr.. Bragg, Mr.. c. r. Meade, the
foreman OF the manufacturing department,
and Mr.. George Bell, the gentlemanly
and efficient clerk of the establish
ment. Everything seemed to be in zap
ple-pie order" and busy workmen, sweat
ing before red-hot fires, we're certainly
earning their wages which, by the way, wc
we're informed were only dollar and three
quarters per day. From the rctort-house
the visitors passed to the purifying house,
and thence to the room in which is erected
the mammoth gasometer. But we have not
space for o description Of the various
branches of the manufacture Of gas, but
will proceed to give some statistics to give
our readers some idea OF what is required
to supply them with light.
Clover Hill and Midlothian coal arc now
used almost exclusively in the Richmond
Gas Works, in the proportion Of two parts Of
the former to one OF the latter. During
the month of December, 1867, 24,IS bush
els of coal, 1892 bushels of coke, and
2,765 bushels Of lime, were consumed,
and the number of cubic feet Of gas manu-
factured was 5,959,20O. In the same month
5,S77,27S cubic feet of gas were consumed
in the city. In December, 1865, ultimo,
the books show us that 23,O04 bushels of
coal, 4,405 of lime, and 81 ,1O4 Of coke,
were used in the manufacture of 6,O0O, 200
cubic feet of gas ; 6,0S6, ll6 feet were con-
sumed. In December, 1867, 4 pound of
coal yielded 3.43 cubic feet of gas; in De
cember, 1868, the yield was 3.7S cubic feet to
the pound. The largest make in any twen-
ty-four hours was on the 18th of December,
when 22l, $50 cubic feet we're manufac-
tured and the largest consumption was on
the 10th of December, when US, l64 cubic
feet were consumed. Uf course everybody
knows that there is great difference be-
tween the amount of gas burned on moon
light and dark nights, but glance at the
books Of the Gas Works will show that tn e
difference is even greater than is generally
supposed. Just now, when every night we
have several hours of moonlight, not more
than 75. 900 feet of gas are required in the
twenty-four hours.
The present officers of the Gas Works seem
to be efficient and to have the entire conf
dence of the Committee on Light. Seventy
five persons are employed under the Super
intendent. Mr.. BENJAMIN Bragg, thirty of
whom are retort hands. c. R. Meade Is
the day foreman, T. T. Taylor the night
foreman. Mr.. George Bell, the clerk, is
too well known to require particular men
ton.
