TOBACCO.

Our market was animated to-day, and all
the tobacco offered was readily taken at
full prices. There was larger attendance
Of buyers than usual at this season Of the
year aud all Of them seemed anxious 10
buy, and would have taken a considerably
larger quantity than was offered at full and
satisfactory prices to the seller. The ma
iOrity of the tobacco offered was in bad
order, wkile nearly all of it was badly
handled and poorly assorted, being badly
mixed. The receipts from now on during
the balance Of the season will naturally in
crease, and we, therefore, look for a lively
trade, and confidently believe Nashville
will maintain her justly earned reputation
for being the best market for the sale Of
tobacco in the West. Sales at the Cumber-
land warehouse foot up p hhds., as fol-

A FIUTTER IN CLOVER SEED.-There has
been quite a buzz in the clover seed market in
Rockingham for the past two or three weeks
1t is estimated by competent Judges that the
surplus crop of that county will aggregate from
100000 to $4,000 this year. Several enterpr
sing gentlemen Of that county entered the
field as purchasers, and us competition between
individuals always results in benefit to the peo-
pie at large, the price OF clover seed speedily
run up from S. to SC per bushel. J. F. ALE
mong, of Bridgewater, we learn, has purchased
and shipped, or is holding, at least $4,000
worth; Capt. NJ. M. Sibert, of Harrisonburg,
has invested from $4,000 to $4,000, and other
home dealers less amounts while Several can
yassers from distance are travelling over the
country purchasing wherever they can find it.
The return to the county of 100000 or SIC, DOC
in ready cash will be great benefit to the PEG
nla. and while it will relieve many from the
effects Of very stringent money market, II
will give impetus to public enterprise. Iic'
every ore who receives money keep it moving
and not holrd it up. In this way the amoun
that will be put in circulation from the simple
article OF clover seed, will in a short time. dis
charge nearly the eEtire' individual indebted
ness of the county.

FESTIVE OCGAsIoN.-Not long since the
young unmarried men of Harrisonburg gave a
ball and supper to the married men of that
place, at the Spottswood Hotel. Approaching
the courtesy, and not forgetting that they were
once young themselves, and, indeed, that the
enjoyments of youth had not yet lost their at
fractions, the married men determined to re-
ciprocate the compliment, and Friday night
last gave the young men supper and ball at
the same popular Hotel. The SCOTS, the cele-
| brated musicians of Charlottesville, were en-
gagged, and about 200 tickets sent out to the
young ladies and gentlemen Of the town and
all the necessary arrangements preliminary to
the festive occasion consummated. About
nine o'clock the beauty and grace and gallantry
| of the town had assembled, and the ''giddy
mazes'' of the dance commenced, and were
kept up until the middle of the night, when all
sat down to an elegantly prepared repast, such
as is rarely enjoyed i'll this portion of Virginia,
or any where else. Supper over the drama
was resumed, and continued until four iii the
morning, when the parties dispersed to theil
homes. 1t was very pleasant and enjoyable
occasion, especially to those who participated
in the exercises, and in fact to all who were
present. We do not remember ever to have
seen a more lovely collection OF young ladies
ell tastefnliy and modestly attired-rosy ii
health, with fresh, beanulg. gladstone. beauti
full features, and that elasticity of spirits. in
separable from innocent enjoyment. Harris
onburg has always been Noted for the attrac
tiveness OF its young ladies, but we were no
prepared to see such All outpouring of winning
magnetic beauty as adorned the ball room a
the Spottswood last Friday evening.
