V1RG1S1A's ADVANTAGES. "A Colorado
newspaper lately drew comparison between
the lands of the West aud those Of Virginia as
offering field to the immigrant very much to
the disadvantage of the latter. To this the
editor of the New York Tribune makes Il
detailed reply The Tribune says "First, two
thirds of the soil of Virginia has never yet
been cultivated at all second, the exhausted
laudS, so called have not been plowcd SIX lu-
ciles deep, and SO far from having been ex-
haustcd, their cultivators have hardly dug
down to them third, with judicious tlage
half the arablc acres of Virginia will produce
fair and steadily increasing crops ofwheat, corn
or almost any other food staple; fourth, sheep
and cattle can be raised in Virginia with great
CT profit than is possible in Colorado 1t is,
furthermore, to be considered, says the Tribune
that in Virginia ''watcrpower is everywhere
running to waste that railroads either already
90 or soon will permeate every county that
iron and coal undere half the counties OF the
Old Dominion that the pcach the grape the
apple, &c, find her soil congcnial that
she is but ten or twelve days distant from the
great markets of Western Europe, while the
boundless capacities for consumption of our
own commercial and manufacturing States lie
Just at her doors, with navigable water COM
pcling with railroads for the profit Of carrying
her produce" When the advantages offered by
Virginia shall be as we'll understood beyond
the borders Of the States as are those Of the
Vest, an important and valuable inflow Of i'm
migration may be looked for.

ago there resided in the town of Jackson,
Washington county, well-to do farmer by the
name of Ferguson. He was industrious and
frugal, but after time became addicted to the
use of intoxicating drinks and when under the
influence of his favorite beverage would be lib
eral to such an extent that he would give away
any property which might be at his disposal at
the time. Fearing that he would thus squan-
der all his effects, commission was obtained
and the property placed in the hands Of his
son. When the papers were served on the old
man he remarked, you have taken my prop
erty from me, have you, and are obliged to
support and take care of me? Well, then
take care of me-" He Immediately took to his
bed, and continued to remain there day and
night for twenty years. For the first few years
he would get up and shave himself every Sat
urday, and then Immediately take to his bed
again; but tor the last fifteen years of his life
he was waited upon as an infant, notwithstand
