from the Charleston Daily News, Nov. II. ]
The State Treasury is empty, and a
dFait for one dollar is refused payment;
the financial officers Of the Government
hnger III New York, while a swarm of
hungry creditors clamor at the gates
OF the capitol; the October interest on
the public debt remains unpaid, and BY
reason of this, and of the alleged over
issue of State bonds, the Columbia
banks decline to have any further
dealings in the securities of the State
This is gloomy picture, but it is not
overdrawn. Besides what NAV have
been fraudulently put upon the market
the Scott government have contracted
bonded debt equal in amount to the
entire bonded debt OF the State before
the war. The annual State taxes are
Increased from 100000 a year to an
average of more than quadruple that
sum. In three years the State and
county taxes, as assessed, amount to
nearly $1,000, 900, as follows:
Taxes of 1853, due 1869 S35 IO4
Taxes of 1859, due lS0.................. I822 65s
Taxes OF 1870, due lS7l..-...-.......... 1885, OH
Three years ,722 800
And vet there is not dollar in the
State Treasury, the State bonds are
sold at thirty cents on the dollar to
satisfy importunate money-lenders, and
judges, school teachers, and other State
officers are unable to obtain the sal
aries which are due them. Although
millions are added to the public debt,
although millions are collected in
taxes, where hundreds OF thousands
should suffice, the State is penniless,
and is utterly, and, it may be, hope
lessly bankrupt. With almost unlim-
tied means at their command, the State
officers have failed to provide for the
ordinary expenses of the Government.
And now they play their last card.
They give notice that the taxes for 1871
must be paid before the 18th of Jan
uary next. That's to say, they require

A Lady with q Feather in her Face.

Some time since lady residing at
the South End, while performing the
ordinary duties Of her household, was
suddenly taken with severe pain on
the right side of her face. Surprising
it to be species Of neuralgia, and
that it would soon pass off, she paid
but little attention to it. The pain,
however, continued to increase in
violence, causing much suffering and
few days subsequently small swell
ling commenced to form on the inside
of her face, gradually cnlarging in
size. Becoming somewhat alarmed
she deemed it necessary to send for a
physician, and DR.. L. r. Seldom was
accordingly called in. Upon an ex-
animation Of the case, being fearful
that the swelling might break and
produce lasting Disagreement of the
lady's couutenance, ho decided to re-.
move the tumor by the ard of surgical
Instruments. The operation required
considerable skill and caution, but it
was successfully performed, the lady
undergoing it with remarkable forti.
tude. The tumor was found to con.
tain small feather, about one inch in
length, which was probably the cause
Of all the trouble. How it came

The Valley Virginian. [volume] (Staunton, Va.) 1865-1895, 1871-04-27
For the Virginian.
Farmers Of Augusta and Rockingham

would especially call your attention to the
Importance and profit of mule raising. 1t is
generally admitted, now that the system of la
Dor has been changed that grain raising is not
profitable, and that the way to make our farms
pay, is to devote more attention to stock raising
There is certainly more profit and less risk in
breeding mules than any other species of stock.
The demand for them is increasing, and the advan-
tage to be derived from having good stock Of
mares to breed from is very apparent. There
has been introduced into Rockingham within the
last two years, one Of the finest Maltese Jacks,
ever imported to this country. In size, form,
and general qualities he is unsurpassed and an
opportunity is offered to the farmers and stock
owners of Augusta and Rockingham counties to
raise mules, instead of exclusively horse colts
and cattle. Kentucky's greatest source of wealth
is her mules. Yearling mule colts are now being
purchased by Kentucky dealers, in Illinois and
Indiana, at 500 each, while the farmers Of the
Valley are selling their yearling cattle and horse
colts to Western Virginia purchasers, at from
$l2 to $25 each. which cost just as much to raise
as the 500 dollar mule colts There is no rea-
son why each farmer could not easily breed each
year or two mule colts and some could
breed six or eight, without any additional cost
to or interfering with their farming operations.
And then there is always ready sale for mule
colts whenever the farmer wishes to throw them
on the market
I take the liberty Of recommending to my
brother farmers generally in the Valley to turn
their attention to this branch Of stock raising
From my experience in raising mules and using
them on the farm as work animals, / am satisfied
they supported at less cost and will perform
as much hard service as farm horses. Judicious
farmers discovered this in Pennsylvania, and for
the past twenty years mules have been generally
taking the place of horses.
There is at the old Crawford farm, on
Muddy Creek, in Rockingham. one of the finest
Jacks in the country. Persons wishing to turn
their attention to mule raising, have the oppor
tunity of doing so. and / earnestly recommend
them to engage in the business.
