Mr.. James Griffith was so kind as TO
make US a present, on Monday. of lot
of the finest vegetables We have ever
seen in Nevada. These were "early
rose" potatoes and tomatoes which
grew on the Nevers' Ranch: and as
specimens of those two descriptions OF
vegetable they prove that the soil OF

such productions.

GYPsUM- The American Farmer SAYS ::
This mineral which, under the name OF plas-
ter, forms SO large part Of the exports of
Nova Scotia to this country for agricultural
purposes, it is stated, has been discovered in
Smythe County, Virginia. The Richmond
Enquirer directing the attention of the pub
lie to these deposits as one of the unfailIng
sources of wealth. if properly worked, says !:
The main bed is situated in what is called
the Cove, on Cove Greek, branch of the
north fork of the Holstone River, about %
miles north of Wytheville, and IA miles east
of Saltville, the present terminus Of the
branch of the Virginia and Tennessee Rail-
road The route from thence to the Cove IS
I'D to the valley of the Holstone, most IA
vorable line for railroad-the grades would
be about fifteen feet To the understanding
with the export tonnage. The quality OF this
plaster is superior TO ans now known on the
continent. Such as have had fair oppor-
tunity of testing it with the Nova Scotia, fix
their relative value at fifty to one hundred per
cent. in favor of the Virginia-that is to say
one ton of the Virginia is equal to one and
half TO two tons of the MAYA Scotia. In
quantity it is enormou>-it underiIes hun
dreds of acres in compact body. A we'll,
or shaft, ten feet in diameter, has been wink
at one point. Within four feet from the
surface plaster was reached, and continued
with the exception of few diminitive seams
Of claw for the depth of five hundred and
eighty-two feet. Operations were suspended
without reaching the bottom of the vein OF
deposit, so continuous was the plaster. No
water came in. The plaster continued Of a
uniform superior quality throughout.

generally returns after the first or second
