tSrRAws Snow WHICH WAY THE WIND
BLows'-says an old proverb, and like
other ancient saws there is 10 little truth
and wisdom in the saying. Promising thus
much, we will narrate little incident
which shows the attention which the ad-
vantages of Norfolk are attracting to the
place. A week ago two Richmond gentle
men visited Norfolk on a prospecting tour.
They parted without having decided upon
their movements; but on Wednesday they
met on the Sylvester, and each had his
family and effects on board, en- route to
Norfolk; and we might cite numerous other
instances to prove that throughout the
Stale, the eyes of the business men are be-
ing rapidly opened to the advantages and
attractions of this great sea port.

BUREIED.-It is our sad:duty to record the
burial o f Mr.. Joseph Miles, who departed
this life on Friday, the 18th, after short
illness. He occupied high position in
the orders of Masonry, also in society, as
merchant as we'll as citizen and Chris
tian. He was beloved by all who knew him
for the ennobling virtues that went to make
character. A large number of citizens as
we'll as the order of both cities of which
he YVES prominent member, turned out
in large numbers to pay the last tribute t
respect to his memory.

THE FALL TRADE has set in with brisk
ness which promises the happiest results.
There is throrg of new faces on our
streets, and our merchants are jubilant as
they welcome old friends and make new
ones. Main street is hustle. The stores
are well patronized, the sidewalks crowded
with hurrying pedestrians, on bargains
bent. The excitement is contagious. Old
fogies stop crocking as they gaze upon the
busy scene; the whirling human kaleide-
scope, and the veriest lounger ii stinctive-
Iy quickens his step in the presence of SO
much active life. The autumn sun shines
brightly down upon the pleasant scene; the
bright waters of our noble harbor sparkle
in its rays; our wharves are crowded with
chipping; tn shout Of the mariner rings
cheerily on the air, and everything indi-
Gates that Norfolk is rapidly taking its
proper position as the great commercial
market o Virginia. So mote it be.
