thing is that after our showers We nave
winds. which soon makes the ground as drS
rs it was before the rain fell on it..
Peaches are a failure, hut other fruits
were not so much Injured by the cold.
AS to political matters, all Is quiet.
The school tax PASSED. The school sys-
tenn is in operation here. 1t has not been
we'll tested, and therefore we cannot speak
of it. Population being sparse in these
counties ot the mountains, we must be pa
tent in the working Of free schools.

CHAHooN's friends knew it and were at
the cars in Richmond Tuesday night when
the officer left, and one. we hear, chose to
come up here on the same train, 1t Is con-
iecturcd. TO try to get some jury man here
10 hang the jury again. Officer Holzinger,
assisted by our Sergeant (Edrington), made
the best and faircst selection Of freeholders
possible, under the circumstances. The
caused constcrnation-several freeholders
had business In the country which detain-
ed them all day, while some were very
willing to go, who were not worth taking.
Fredericksburg Ns,cs.
AS SOON as it became known that Holm
ger was in town after Jury TO try Cha
hoon," you could see men scattering and
hiding, like so many mice upon an an
nouncement that Mrs. Tabby had arrived.
Sentinels were posted to give warning to
merchants, shop-kecpers, &c. Back doors
were left open for lodging out, if the
Richmond Perlice" came in at the front
door. One merchant, being trapped, ran
UP stairs, hid himself in O hOgShead Of old
hay, &C., from which queensWarc HAD been
taken, and on the retiracy of the deputy
sergeant from his store scampcred off over
the river to Stafford, and probably may not
have yet returned. Yesterday was also
very sick day in Fredericksburg. 1t was
remarkable how many people had sudden
attacks, or members of whose families were
taken sick, rendering the absence of the
heads of the house out OF the question. A
great many people, too, suddenly became
impressed with the fact that they had made
up their minds, had expressed an opinion,
and were therefore incompetent jurymen.

CONFLICT BETWEEN FEDERAL AND STATE
CorRTS.-The Liberty Netos says:
"In abiding in our last issue to the case
OF MIR. Thorpe III. Nance we inadvertently
omitted to mention one fact, which may be
important to correct understanding of his
position. After his failure to comply with
the terms of the first sale of his lands under
4 decree of the Circuit Court Of Bedford,
and after resale, made in pursuance of Il
subsequent decree, Nance applied to the
judge of the United States District Court
for an injunction to restrain and inhibit the
officers OF the State Court from further pro-
ceedingS in execution of it's decree. This
injunction was granted by Underwood, and
1t is under this order of I'M JUNCTION that
Nance holds OIL to his land. 1t was for this
attempt to evade the order Of the State
court, and this contempt Of its authority,
that Nance now lies in Jail. We do not pro-
TESS to be skilled in the law. but there is
one thing which must be plain to the dull
the power and the courage to enforce its
DEGREES must be vain thing
THE LYScHBURG AND CLIFTON FORGE
CoNNECTloN.-We understand from citi-
ZcnS living on James river, near Clifton

HARvEsr.-Our farmers are busy har-
yesting. The crop is the best we have had
since the war. Very little phosphate WAS
used, and for this reason the fine crops will
be of great advantage to our farmers and
the community generally. Other years
large proportion Of the amount realized
was invested in fertilizers, which enriched
the manufacturers ut the expense OF the
farmers. - Shenandoah Herald.
