Peter Independence Kurtz, Esq, proposes
publishing an account of the "Respectables, :" in
his next Comic Clinker''
The attention of dealers in lamps, lanterns
oils, table glassware &C., and country merchants

On Tuesday, the 9th instant, we learn from. the
Scottsville Register that Mr.. Christopher Horn
sey aged 65 years, was united in matrimony with
Miss Mary Adelaide Price, aged only ID years,
daughter of DIR. Henry M. Price, President OF
the ''Venezuela Company"
superb supper will be given in Green
vile on next Friday evening, March Goth. The

the Parsonage, which is to be erected soon for

All W no wish to spend pleasant evening should
attend.
Nearly every week we receive letters from
persons in Pennsylvania and other Northern
States requesting us to send them copies of the
Spectator, saying that they wish to see the ad-
vertisements of lands for sale.
Persons having lands for sale cannot do better
than to advertise in the Spectator.
Messrs A. S. Kinney s. Co. have removed
their tobacco store and cigar factory to Mrs. b.
lens corner, at Peck s. Cushings auction room,
thus giving persons an opportunity to buy to-
bacco and cigars at the same time that they buy
bargains at auction, thus killing two birds with
one stone
LECrURE.-The next lecture of the course at
Mt Vernon Forge will be given on Friday even
ing next, by Capt Jed. Hotchkiss. Those. who
attend may expect to be we'll repaid, as we learn
that it is quite likely that in place of stad and
formal lecture the audience will be entertained
with readings of prose and poetry, both 'lively
and severe,'' from standard authors. .|
Many persons were in town yesterday-being
Court -day-but there was no Court, as the time
for which the officers were authorized to act ex-
pired on Sunday. The bottom has dropped out
of the tub of civil government, and radical re-
construction results in destruction-its govern
ment into anarchy. No official business can be
done-persons cannot even get married This is
beautiful state of affairs.

Farmers will observe that Mcclure d Bum
gardner as agents for this county, again offer
for sale, Whann's Raw Bone Super-Phosphate.
This celebrated fertilizer has been extensively
used. in this county, and quite satisfactorily, as
will be seen by the certificates from some of our
best farmers, who have used it which will be
found in the advertisement of Mcclure s. Bum
gardner in another column.
We are indebted to Mr. j. Malcolm Reins, of

the material resources of Montana. The gold
and silver yield of Montana Territory to 1889
amounted to the large sum of 500, 384, 200. ~
We hope our young friend who had. the kind
ness to send US this interesting Almanac will get
as much gold as should satisfy reasonable desires
The Richmond and York River Railroad and
connecting steamers are Carrying freight through
from Baltimore to Staunton and all points on
the Chesapeake and Ohio and Richmond and
York River Railroads, twenty hours quicker
than by any other line. Merchants and others
will find this safe, expeditions and cheap route
by which to have their goods shipped 1t is also
a most delightful line by which to travel from
Baltimore to Richmond or vice veqsa. After the
first Of April the steamers connecting with the
cars at West Point will run daily both ways
We had the pleasure of travelling this route, last
week, on board the steamer ''Kennebec'-Capt.
Freeman. 1t is a charming line of locomotion.
The accommodations on the ''Kennebec'' are
excellent and the Captain and his assistants are
courteous, kind and obliging. Mr.. r. Foster is
the agent at Baltimore, and Mr.. n. H. Hotchkiss
is general travelling agent. 1<sE q
