expense could be greatly lessened by re-
stricting the number of guards and paying

annual report in this connection says:
'Tt has never been the custom to inclnde those

SUIT FOR BANK INTEREST DIR.
Orlando Fairfax, of this city, by his attor.
ney, Major John Johns, jr., has entered
suit in the circuit court of Alexandria,
against the city council Of that city to re-
cover the amount of interest due upon
corporation stock held by him, claiming
damages in the sum of $4,000. 1t is UNI
derstood that the stock was confscated
and sold during the war under decree Of
the United States court, and transferred on
the corporation books to the name of the
purchaser, who has since been the recipient
of the interest. To recover this interest
the suit IS brought, the plaintiff claiming
that the proceedings by which the transfer
was made were irregular, therefore null
and void, and that he is the legal owner Of
the stock, and consequently entitled to the
interest thereon. Av ~ 8ea .rk "a

ABOUT MILKINd.-Next to having good
cows is the Importance Of having milking
well and properly done. Cows should be
put into some secure place to milk, either
in barn or a shed expressly for that pur-
pose, with a good ventilation for warm
weather. The practice of milking cows
running loose in the yard is announcement
and disagreeable; neither can it be done
as clearly as in Sanctions nor will the y
do as well out-of-doors, where they are
the greater part Of the season leased by
flies. There should be as much uniformity
in the hours of thinking as possible. Before
commencing to milk the udder should be
entirely clean, and each mixer should
milk the same cows through the season
andin the same order. Harsh treatment
should never be tolerated; for cows that
are not we'll treated will not give as great q
flow of milk as when used gently,

TO The Editor of The State Journal.
l send an account of the thermometer
and barometer for the past month of Jan
uary, as being very remarkable in several
particulars. Observations taken at seven,
two and nine o'clock each day, on the
original Mt. Vernon estate, Fairfax county,
Virginia.
Upon the 4th and 23d the thermometer
stood at 2 O'Clock at u degrees, while on
the 18th, at o'clock in the morning at 8
degrees, and on the 10th and 18th at IL
degrees. On the. 18th and 18th we filed
one ice-house with 4-inch ice, and on the
13th.and again on the 10th we were plough
ing, the ground in good order on both
occasions. The mean temperature for the
month was higher than for several years,
being SO degrees 8 minutes, and was only
63.l0O of a degree colder than December;
and December was only 1900 of degree
colder than November. Thus there was
not one degree difference in the temperature
of November, December and January,
being November, 80 degrees 70 minutes |;
December. 80 degrees sc minutes; JAN
uary, 80 degrees 8 minutes. The barome-

mean than for several years, being 1886
inches but January, 1874, was higher
still, being 29.s6 inches. The mean ba-
rometer for the past three years is 29.75
