Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatchl
LoUDouN COUNTY, March 10, 1873.
March winds arc doing their work in dry
ing the earth, whose iace we are once more
permitted to see Invested Of the snowy veil
which has covered it since the middle Of De-
ccmbcr. Ploughing is pushed on vigorously,
and the soil, unlocked from its frozen bonds,
breaks up beautifully. Wheat is looking
finely, but the early fruits are reported
nippcd in the bud.
The Loudoun Farmers Club is giving an
impetus to agriculture. The certificate Of
merit offered last spring for the largest yield
of corn to the acre was awarded to Amos
Hughes, it being seventeen barrels and six
bushels, Notwithstanding the unprecedented
drought In the dairy department Mr.. Hoge
received the first certificate, whose profit
from twelve COWS was $7i.l0 per head.
The butchers Of Alexandria opened their
new markct-house by an ovation to the MAN.
moth steers furnished by Mr.. George AyreS
as specimen Of what Loudoun can do in
that line.
And so if we can only make sure of one
of the many projected railroads, and the Lee
sislature will kindly disband without making
any more new laws or meddliES with amy
more old ones, we might hope for better
days.
March court has been in session in Lees
burg all this week. and will probably extend
through next, not half the cases Oil the
docket having been reached yesterday.

STRIPED Pic" IN INDIANA.--A Columbus
letter to the indianapolis Sentinel mentions
the arrest there of q person who had been
acting as agent for a Mr.. Anderson, of Ken
lucky, in scattering broadcast over the State
circulars intimatiDg that for two dollars he
would impart to the saloon-keepers of the
State information by which they could evade
the penalties imposed by the recent act of
the Legislature against selling liquor. The
number of letters received in reply led the
post-otiice authorities to suspect a fraud, and
hence the arrest, which, however, WAS not
sustained. The trick recommended is fol-
lows:
1. You will keep no liquor or Intoxicating
drinks for sale or give away, or as otherwise
specified in the temperance bill, AID will
post bills announcing this fact in your
house.
2. Erect a sideboard in one part Of the
room, on which set liquors, ices, cigars, lem
Ons, &c.
8. Near the door erect cigar. case; be Iar-
ticuar to take no pay for anything but cigars
and tobacco. Ii parties help themselves to
the sideboard too often without patronizing
tue cigar.clse, it is optionary whether you
permit them TO make loalng-place of your
house or not.
i. Section II provides that you shall be a
"person keeping liquors for sale" before
you can violate the law.

INGENIOUS observation-disclosures BANK
NOTES THAT HAVE BEEN NARROWER
There are great number of national bank
notes in circulation which, although genuine
enough as fur as they 30. do not really re-
present their facc.value, because they have
been narrowed" by cutting strips, length
wise, from some part Of the notes. At the
various banks numbers Of them are met with
every day, and refused as acknowledgements
Of their full value. The notes most COM
monty operated upon are those Of the de-
nomination of So. The mode Of procedure
is to cut number of notes in such divisions
as will insure ten "made-up" notes out of
nine that have been cut. The cutting is per-
formed with such nicely that the joining Of
the edges is almost imperceptible. These
cut notes can he easily detected by the least
observant pcrScn, for they are much mar
rover than those that are whole. The care
lessness of trades-peope, however, has en-
couragcd the production of these notes, and
nothing but sharp examination Of money
received and the rejection Of the kind Of
bills alluded to will stop this business Of
tampcring with the rency.-Phi!adelphia

INCIDENTS OF THE DISASTER AT SMYRNA
Some few weeks ago, at Smyrna, cafe aud
concert hall built on piles running outiato
the sea gave way suddenly during an aero
batic performance, aud one hundred persons
lost their lives. Everybody In Smyrna, it is
stated, knew that the cafe MAS unsafe, and
might topple over into the sea at any mo-
ment. The municipality knew it; the quay
authorities knew it; and so did all the resi-
dents in the neighborbood; yet no steps
were taken to prevent two hundred and fifty
people assembling in the doomed building,
which with hardly any warning, on the night
of the 9th of january, leaned forward and
disappeared in the sea. A correspondent of
the Levant Herald, writing from Smyrna,
gives the following account of the tragedy !:
ION Sunday night at 10 O'Clock we heard
what sounded like the report Of cannon.
1t was the kivoto giving way. The people
living near the scene of the catastrophe say
that the sounds were most appalling. First,
one loud crash like the firing of cannon, one
long wall, then deep silence, soon broken,
however, by the screams Of those who got
their heads above water. Some had chung
to the ceiling of the cafe, and could not draw
themselves up until tue hands which held on
to their legs gave way. 1t Is said that
most of the boatmen who volunteered
their assistance first rifled the pockets
of the sufferers and then drew them
into their boats. SiXty-seYen corpSes
have been found, but many more still remain
in the deep mud, which the quay-stoMn,e one
have forced up in great quantity. the
clown of the 'acrobat troupe was saved
aud rubbed dry, dressed at Mr.. Mirzan's
house, and ran back to seek for his wife and
dauglter-the latter aged twelve years. The
former had been got safe into boat, when,
looking round, she screamed out My hus,
band and child cannot have been saved !,
and jumped into the sea. She had EXPIRED ire,
before they brought her up again; her
daughter and the actresses were all TO De ,:
seen at St. Antoine's Hospital, lying dead IN
their stage tinery. A Greek who escaped
saws he was awestruck at the moment they
rocked right TO left by the scene which was
being acled by the acrobats at the time
ramely, Death running after some one,
and causing great laughter among the spec
tators. AT that very instant the cafe gave
