OLD JOHN sRoBfNsoN's UARD-7hc
Price of admission Reduced.- Old John
Robinson would respectfully ann. 'unce to
the people of the State of Virginia, That IN
consequence of the partial failure OF the
crops i'll some localities, and the genel- al
depression in money matters, that in view
of the immense patronage he has already,
received, and hoping for a continuance OF
the same, he has concluded to reduce the
price of admission to his great Three Tent
Show, Museum, Caravan, Mcnagerie and
Circus. i. e., 70 cents for adults, and 5O
cents for children under ten years of age,
instead of sl.75 cents, which was charged
through the State of Tennessee, on account
of the exherbitant high rates Of licenses
imposed upoa the exhibition. Remember
the prices are: Adults, 75 cents I; chill
drcp 'urtdcr ten years Of age, 80 cents.

THE PoLIcE CoURr-.7Ne Nesca, Cowa-

The POLICE CoyRT-7he Nesc Court
Roope--Hs Comfortable Appearqace- The
.Jestisv as Proud as q Selling -I'itlla.-
Several months ago we, in the course OF
our reportorial duties, attended the court
presided over by Justice j. J. White, then
held in the hall ever the First Market.
The first time we visited the place we found
it totally unfit for occupation as court Of
justice, and certainly inappropriate as the
seat Of the just and good man who pre-
sides over this court. We-belieye we in
augurated the move asking the Council to
change the location and improve the one to
be occupied. Our associates of the press
united with us, which resulted in the Coun-
Gil consenting to a change. This morning,
for the first time, this court was held i'll the
| new quarters, provided in the Odd-Fellows'
Hall, on Franklin street, below the Ex-
change Hotel. - NEe s4ft
The arrangements are indebted to the good
taste and judgment Of Justice White for
their comfort and superior excellence.
In fact, the place is now comfortable,
free from hce and other yernin, and from
1 the noise and confusion which always sur
rounded the old premises. The Justice
presided this morning with dignity, but
looked as proud as young pullet setting OH
her first nest of eggs. Every body can
now be comfortable the prisoners may

Feeding Chickens.

l have been very successful in feeding
chicks this year, none of them being trou-
bled with roup or other disease. l am sat-
isfied that in feeding wheat screenings as
obtained from the mills, they should al
ways be soaked in water eight or ten hours,
or at least washed. before feeding, to soften
the white caps, swell the shrunken kernels
and destroy the poisonous dust. Corn
meal should always be mixed with boiling
water for chickens. Onions, tops as well
as bottoms, should be cut fine and fed
daily. They are very stimulating, and
superior to many medical preparations re-
commended for sick chickens. [ believe a
daily feeding of onions tends greatly to
ward off disease. The truth is, too little
attention is paid to having dry and warm
quarters for fowls generally, though no
animal pays better for good care than fowls.
Without it even fair results can not be ex-
pected.-LOckDOrt

Springs, about one week since, and the

disease is still prevailing in that neighbor-

tended, but this occurrence of disease
there has cut the season shorter by at least
one month than was anticipated at first.
