BOu nd 10 Marry,

a rural reader of the Press and Ucs.cB-
ger, whose ideas of the civil rights bill are
about as mixed as the EDITORS, came rush
ing into the County Court Clerks Office of
one of our mountain counties and in great
trepidation asked for license to marry.
The clerk demanded his fee, which the
impatient minor did not have. In despair
he begged the clerk TO give him the license
on credit, promising to pay for it when
harvest was over. The clerk inquired why
he could not put off marrying until after
harvest. Well, Mister,n said the rural
rooster, % could wait IL it wasn't for that
blasted civil rights bill. But you amt GO
ing to catch me without wife to give one
of them there niger wenches a chance to
pick me up and marry me when Congress
passes it,"
That's about as sensible as a good many
other ideas of the civil rights bill the
" General - has been putting out. And
there are people foolish enough to believe

Virginia Tobacco.

Many of the farmers, disheartened by the
result of this years sales of tobacco,
which in some instances did not realize
what they paid for fertilizing material and
and hired labor, will this season invest
sparingly in the weed. They are hiring
less force to operate crops with, and the
supply of plants has been much diminished
by unusual and unexpected frosts. So far
as Virginia is concerned the tobacco of
next season may be expected to be short in
quantity, whatever the quality may turn
out.-Richn1oHd Wig.

ATTEMPTED BURGLARY.
A Midnight Intruder Nearly
Frightens the Life out of. Two
Ladies, Who Scare him
Away by Cries Of
Murder"

Persons living in the vicinity of
the intersection of Eighth and
Harvey SITS, We're aroused from their
peaceful slumbers Saturday night
about n O'Clock, by the repeated
cries of "murder. :" ''help" &C.,
proceeding from the house of Mrs.
Sturgeon, on the south side OF
Eighth street, second door east of
Harvey. Alarge number of gentle
men sprang from their beds, hastily
donned their clothes, and rushed
out, expecting to find that a horrible
murder had been committed. They
were agreeably disappointed in this,
as no blood had been shed. The
cries had been raised by two un-
protected females, Mrs. Sturgeon
and a young lady who is boarding
with her. 1t appears that some un-
known villain had procured a lad
der from John Franks stable,
placed it against the real porch,
climbed up, cut a hole through a
mosquito net, through which he
reached his hand and unbOlted the
door. He then walked into the room
and found Mrs. Sturgeon sleeping
Oh the bed, while the young lady
was lying on a quilt spread at the
foot of the bed, on the floor. The
bold intruder's operations, evident
ly in search of plumber, awakened
the ladies, who, when they saw a
man standing in their room, gave a
unanimous shout of "murder," and
called for help. The fellow wanted
them to hush, but they wouldn't
hush, and the bold bad man, seeing
assistance coming i'm answer to the
ladies' plaintive appeals, retreated,
jumped down from the porch to the
ground, about eighteen feet,
and dug out over the pOta-
toe-hills, fences, etc., and
far away. The neighbors came in
to find the ladies entirely unnerved
and overcome with fear and excite
ment, and they passed the remain
DER of the night in a very uneasy
manner, not being able to 60 to
sleep, although a man slept there
till morning to protect them.
1t was a very bold transaction,
and the man evidently expected to
make a good haul, as he must have
known the ladies were alone.

THE BEER QUESTION IN OMAHA.

High price of hops and malt are
the causes of the universal rise i'm
the price of beer. The breweries of
st. Lewis raised their price to Sl1
per barrel on May first, and the
Omaha brewers resolved in view of
the high price of coaland small sales
during the winter season to raise
their prices to SD per barrel.
How the written compact was kept
is already well understood by deal
eFs as we'll as the public. The
brewers who mounted the tallest
horse have done such tall raw
fishing, consequently we have come
to our admirable argument with our
customers and propose hereafter to
sell Our beer
AT ELEVEN DOLLARS.
This is one dollar above the rate
charged by the other brewers. On
the other hand We propose to dis
continue the manufacture and sale
of young beer, and deliver only
lager beer. We have also decided
not to deal with new customers
during thesummer season; a change
which will doubtless be of advan-
tage to our old customers. AS to the
future prices ofbeer, we shall hence
forth seek to come to an under
standing with u respective Gus
toners, and will under no eircum-
stances be influenced by other
brewers. Already during the
month of March, n of the most
prominent brewers declared to me
philip Metz that he could not
earn his salt at $1,000 per barrel.
Now that the profits on lager
beer are even simmer, he will, in
order not to give up the luxurious
taste of salt, have to partake of an
occasional herring lunch.
