SyMAc.-A gentleman we'll acquainted with
the sumac business says that the paragraph in
yesterdays Gazette, under the Virginia News
head, stating that Waite, Miller & Co., of Gull
pepper Z. H., are about the largest dealers in
Sumac in the United States, is incorrect, and
that there are at least seven other firms in
Virginia alone, each of which buys more sumac
than comes to Culpeper G. FL. The paragraph
alluded TO was taken from an exchange, and
before it was seen it was supposed in this Sec
ton that Mr.. McGraw and Mr.. Rosenthal, Of
this city, were about the largest dealers in su-
founded UPON the immense consignments Of
the article that daily reach there during the
season,

A SURPRISED PAKTY.-A company of young
ladies and gentlemen of West End, with two
colored 6ddlers knocked at the door of one of
the residents of that village night before last,
and when the gentleman Of the house appeared
and asked what they wanted, told him they
we're going to give him surprise party. He
immediately called to his wife for his cowhide,
and informed them that unless they left, and
that at once, there would be several surprised
people He now wants somebody to come for
a basket of provisions that was left on his steps
that night

THE MARKET-There was 6ue display of
meats, poultry, butter, eggs, fruits and vegeta-
bles in market this morning and large atten-
dance of both buyers and sellers. There were
~ country wagons with provisions to sell in
aud around the square, and on Royal street
they extended as far down as Prince. Owing
to new police regulation there was no difficult
ty about the stands occupied by the country
people and the side walks were not intruded
upon by them as much as heretofore.

A BRIDAL COUPLE, ON; THE CARs.-The

have doubtless been at various times witnessed
by our readers, and have excited mingled emo

an hour. 1t seemed sometimes like the pres
sure was about seventy-hve pounds to the
square inch, then again he would slack up.
She was mighty fraid of dropping out OF the
window, for she never whlmpered, even when ne
tightened his arm to the last notch that IS,
when going across rivers and ugly high Danks'
After She had seen the country enough they
began to whisper to each other and after : each
whisper would bite an ear, holding 1t heeie
fingers in fnn. He would make out sometimes
she had bit him too hard and tousle her tor 1t.
The tousIipg was the best part of the perform
ance. She knew she had done wrong in, the
auricular matter and ought to be tousled- Most
of the men in the car thought 50, and if she
hadn't submitted they were ready to help him
