Aessys. Cattver BrotherS We cheerfully
grant you permission to use our names as
you see proper in commendation of your
Farmer Cooking Stove" for we regard it
as being altogether the best cooking stove
in use, and is all that is desirable in a stove
for it is simple in construction, has no dam
pers or flues to burn out, and bakes quick
and beautifully. We bespeak for you
liberal patronage from Our neighbors and
friends, believing, as we dc, that none who
purchase one of these stoves will ever regret
it, but will consider it rare prize. Your
enterprise merits success and we hope yOu
will attain it.

Messrs. Fditora,-As the exact inport and
meaning Of the resolution [ bad the houor
to offer in the House OF Delegates in refer
ence to the judicial sales OF real estate has
been the subject OF Misrepresentation, ask
that you publish the resolution, of which l
enclose copy.
Approaching your kind allusion to me,
and thanking you for the same, may add
that l offered this resolution as much in the
interest of the creditor as the debtor class,
and in the hope that it might settle the yeXed
question as to the confirmation of sales when
it is claimed the price is inadequate, and
that within the year-lor which there is to be
this renting-real estate may have again a
market value, and that our people may rally
from their depressed condition.
JAMES II. WILLIAMS.
Resolved, That the Committee for Courts
of Justice inquire into the eXpediency of so
amending the 4th section of chapter TIA of
the Code of 1878, in reference to judicial
sales of real estate, as to provide that unless
al the third exposure thereof for sale there
shall be bid tWo.thirds Of its assessed value
the said real estate shall be rented out for ut
least twelve months.

DoG.TAy.-There is not newspaper in
the State, Conservative or Radical, which is
not committed to tax on dogs for the pro.
lection of sheep; and we presume there is
not member of the General Assembly,
Conservative or Radical, who will not admit
that such tax would be right. At the same
time, both editors and members of the Legs
lature know there are few counties in the
State where mischievous demagogues would
not make the repeal of such law, should
one be passed, test III every election from
constable to that Of Governor. We are sat
isfied that the members of the Legislature
are not restrained from acting up to their
e ,nyictions of right half SO much by the fear
of unsesting themselves as they are by the
apprehension of giving to these demagogue:
more rayenous than hungry ours rallying

making coffee everywhere. No manager OF
a public house should suffer an oyer-ioasted
"black grain" of coffee to go into the coffee
mill. Coffee should never exceed light
brown in toasting and if it does not and the
coffee is well brewed with pure water in n
sweet-seented vessel, it will always be good.
But your blackburn coffee, that is only 10

It is poisonous. 1t breeds melancholy,

TIE CcUyTY-CouRT SYsrEM--Judglng from
the tone Of tie press generally, the people
Of virginia do not regard with favor the
changes made in the county courts by the
List LEGISLATURE, nor are those changes re.
eart:ed as in accordance with the intentions
Of the trainers OF the Constitution. 1t would
be difficult to conceive why judges Of the
county courts, under their present organlza-
ton, should be required to be g learned in
the law" Any man of practical sense and
business capacities could perform the duties
devolyed upon the judges of the county
courts.
If the question Of restoring these courts
to their former jurisdiction and dignity were
TO be submitted to vote Of the people, we
do not entertain q doubt but that it would
be carried by majority of many thousands.
As a matter of economy the late changes are
regarded as ineXpcdient and of doubtful
propriety. The result will be that eventu,
ally the number of the circuit judges VIII
have to be increased, or unreasonable delay
in the trial of cases will be inevitable. so
that on the score of economy and dlspatch
of business nothing is gained. The people
were satisfied with the system provided Tor
by the Constitution, and it should have been
left as it was.-South,Oest Virginia.
