VIRGINIA NEWS.

The public schools of Wytheville
closed last week for want of funds.
George II. Burch, Republican, was
elected mayor of Lynchburg ON Thursday
by 242 majority.
On Tuesday and Wednesday, June
4th and 5th, the annual Horse and Colt
show, of the Shenandoah Valley Agricul-
tural Society, will take place in Winches-
ter.
Such row was created in Botetourt,
by the levy of dog tax, that the supervisors
have rescinded it and vote was to have
been taken upon the question at the cleo
ton on Thursday.
-Botetourt boasts of a COW which gives
from 5 to gallons of milk daily, and asks
who can beat it? Wytheville has one that
gives 2,190 gallons of milk in a year, or 6
gallons per day, and from which an aver
age of 9pounds of butter per week were
made last year.
Two colored men were horribly
mangled by the premature explosion of q
blast, while digging well at Big Lick, on
the Virginia and Tennessee railroad, last

Though the drought has dried up
things considerably in some parts of the
State, yet the Loudoun Republican states
that in the Shenandoah Valley the wheat,
Oat, and rye crops give splendid promise.
1t is remarkable how, notwithstanding the
severe winter, the wheat has rallied from
its freezing and the dry weather, and is
coming out. 1t is the general impression
that wheat never looked better at this sea-
son. The early fruit crops also give pro-
mise of an abundant yield.

STATE-HoUSE REPAIRs.-A few weeks
since we published the award of the con-
tracts for the repairs to the State House,
ordered at the last session of the General
Assembly. The work is now in progress.
The water base of the building has been
removed, and will be replaced with granite.
The lathe, plaster and studding of the
north gable have given way for solid wall
of brick. New sash and window casing
are being put in place of the old, decayed
work and the immense columns in front
of the Capitol are receiving bran new
coat. The exterior appearance of the
building will no doubt be much improved
when this work shall have been com.
pleted.
