WORKS OF THE VIRGINIA TEA
AND COFFEE COMPATIBLE would
astonish many, no doubt, who have been
accustomed to regard Richmond as provin-
cial and inconslderable, to witness the
complete machinery and other arrangements
for the preparation, grinding, &C., of
coffee, and spices at the establishment of the
Virginia tea and coffee company, at the
corne of Main and Eighth streets. Thou
sands of pounds of coffee, of all qualities
are roasted and ground and sold weekly,
and other thousands of pounds roasted and
ground on order from surrounding towns
and cities not provided with the facilities
owned by the company. The roasting and
grinding are done by steam. The estab-
lishment is under the personal supervision
of Capt. lisbon Benedict. an old tar, but
one of the most genial and accommodating
business men of Richmond. The arrange
ments are very complete, and of sufficient
capacity to roast and grind all the coffee
and spices used in Virginia.

SAN FRANCISCO. February 2.-Little
prospect exists of any peaceable adjust
ment of the Modoc difficulties. Last
Thursday, Fairchild and Darris and several
others went by invitation of Captain Jack
to have a big talk. The place agreed upon
was the top of High Hill, overlooking the
Java bed. They were accompanied by
Squaw Dixie. She went to Captain Jack
and told him if he wanted to talk he must
60 to the top of the hill, and he would meet
Darris and Fairchild there. Jack would
not go. He wanted the whites to come to
MS camp. This they refused to do. Jack
said they must come half way, Fairchild
refused again, and sent word to Captain
Jack to come to his camp within two
days, or if not he then must fight again.
General Gillem's command is half way
over the mountains, and will reach head
quarters on Tuesday.

severe Storm I'm the British Isles

LONDON, February 2. - The Brit
ish Isles We're visited last night by one of
the most violent storms ever experienced
even at this season of the year. Snow fell
to extraordinary depth in city and country.
This morning it was six inches deep in the
streets of London, and travel was almost
wholly suspended. Omnibuses and cabs
ceased running, and scarcely a vehicle OF
any description has been seen in the streets
all day. In the provinces the snow
fall was much heavier, and in the extreme
north drifts are several feet deep. The gale
ragged with great fury all around the Eng.
lish and Irish coasts. Many wrecks have
already been reported, and there has been
a fearful loss of life, especially off Torquay
and around the Sicily Islands.

CAPTAIN b. G. Cooks PATENT
BRooM.-The construction of this broom
is a metal head of brass or tin, to which
the handle is affixed, and into which the
necessary amount of broom-corn is placed
and made fast by means of wooden wedges,
very easily adjusted. The advantages
gained in the use of this broom is, that after
the first cost, which will not much exceed
the price paid for an ordinary well-made
broom, you can replace the worn-out one
with new straw, at a cost not to ex-
coed eight cents each time, and to the
farmer, who can grow the corn, the cost
will bo less. AS one of these broom
heads will do service several years, If care
fully used, its superiority over the common
broom is readily perceived.
Captain Cook will soon be prepared to sell
rights to persons desiring to avail them
selves of the advantages of his patent,
which can hardly fail to prove profitable to
purchasers, for the invention is really q
valuable one, and if rightly pushed will
push all other brooms out of the market.

MOVEMENT AGAINST SMALLPOX
A circular before us, issued by the board
Of health of Baltimore, contains some very
stringent measures for the suppression al d
eradication of the smallpox. which has
gained such prevalence in that city as to
occasion general alarm. The city council
has passed resolutions requiring the board
of heath to commission q large force of
physicians to vaccinate all who have not
been previously vaccinated, and any person
refusing to be vaccinated or otherwise inter-
fering with the properly accredited officers
of the board in the performance of the
duties assigned them, is made subject to a
heavy fine. The board is further requir-
ed to take possession of the bed, clothing,
and other furniture in the room of a small
pox patient, and after q fair appraisement
to give a warrant on the city treasury for
the amount, the property to be burned and
the premises thoroughly disinfected. The
board make an urgent appeal for a general
and willing compliance with the require
ments Of the council and the health
officers.
The attention which has been given in
Richmond for years past to vaccination
rehders unnecessary, perhaps, such strin-
gent measures as have been resorted to in
Baltimore I; but the presence among US of
the loathesome disease, however limited
in extent and mild in form, should stimulate
all residents to avail themselves of the
facilities provided by the city to get vac
cinated. Care should be aiken to prevent
the further spread of the disease.
We are informed that the old lady on
Church Hill, whose case has been several
times mentioned by us, actually did the
cooking for her family, making up the
bread with her own hands, after the disease
had broken out all over her, and that
meals thus prepared were carried from her
house to other parts of the city for mem.
bers of the family who were afraid of con-
tracing the disease by eating at home.
The terrible malady was literally taken
into the stomach with the food, and the
messenger no doubt infected others while
passing along the streets. IF the safety of
our people is to be thus ignorantly tritied
with, we cannot hope to escape the ravages
of disease.
