AN ancient maiden lady was found cry
ing, ready to break her soft heart, in front
of a hot oven into which she was preparing
to put bread to bake. In response to an
inquiry as to the cause of her grief, she re-
sponded that she was thinking that if she
had married John and hau had a little baby,
and the poor thing had got into the hot
oven, it might have been roasted to death
before she could have got it out.
Our neighbor of the News is in aboutthe
same state Of mind over the lost opportu-
mites of the late election for securing q
Democratic Legislature in Wisconsin, and
consequently a Democratic United States
Senator in the place of Howe. The thing
would have been done if the coalitionists
had only had majorities in enough Assem-
bly, Districts. The News not only weeps
over the might have been," but falls into
a hysteric lragc and !" cusses' the Sentinel

THE CASE OF W. j. ANABLE.-T The
trial of W. j. Anable, late clerk of Hen
rico county, upon the charge of forgery,
took place yesterday. Judge Gregory, of
King William county, presided, Judge
Minor being a witness for the prosecution.
The case was given to the jury about three
O'Clock and the court took a recess until
half-past four. On r%e-opening, the jury
reported that they were unable to agree
standing, as we learn, ten for acquittal and
two for conviction. They were placed in
charge of the sheriff until this morning at
eleven o'clock, when they reported a YER
dict of guilty, with q term of three years
in the penitentiary.
Mr.. Anable's counsel promptly asked
that the verdict be set aside and that q new
trial of the cause be granted. The motion
was entertained by the Judge, and will be
argued tomorrow morning at eleven
o'clock.

THE HORSE DIsEAsE.--The horse dis
ease is a calamity seriously affecting the
business interests of the city. 1t is worse.
1t is the crease for extortion. Enormous
prices are charged for hauling--thus, in
many cases, adding distress to calamity.
We think this phase of the case should en-
gage the attention of the city authorities.
Let the Council be called together at the
earliest possible moment and the ordinance
requiring drays, wagons, &C., to procure

necessary to protect our people from out

THERE is no excuse for partizan jour-
nails to continue their abuse of the Presi-
dent after election. Many of them have
done their worst to blacken him during
the campaign. The political purpose of
making votes against him no longer exists.
To persist in such a course now is simply
infamous. The people have emphatically
passed judgment upon a campaign of per-
sonal vituperation already. To continue
in such procedure after that condemna-
ton is silly as well as malignant.

and Important Discoveries.

Washington, November 12.-The pres
ence of auriferous metals in Virginia, in
the n~eighborhood of the Potomac, Rappa-
hammock and other streams, as well as in
the foothills of the Blue Ridge, has long
been known, but the location of a perma-
nent quartz mine or reef has not been
thoroughly demonstrated till lately. For
a year past, parties Of experience have
been engaged in developing a mine near
kelly,s Ford, five miles from Rappahar-
mock Station.
In the n~eighborhood of a we'll known
place of deposit they have found a series of
well defined gold-bearing veins, located in a
mound three-fourths of a mile from the
river. The surface rock of gold-bearing
quartz bears a strict resemblance to the ore
taken out in the richest districts of Califor-
mia. A shaft eighty feet deep cuts three
veins at the depth of fifteen, forty-five, and
seventy-five feet, yielding rock worth from
$50 to 500 per ton. The deposit seems to
be a basin of veins, showing free gold with
carbonatcs, and not ~sulphates. Three
tunnels are now being worked through rich
rock, and everything gives evidence of per-
manency.

that kilograms passing through this Island

relapse, with swelling of the legs and belly.
The remedy used is, rubbing the parts
