A recent investigation in New York
shows n general system of frauds in
canned goods. 1t extends to every de
scription of fruits, meats, vegetables and
fish. At this examination, it was found
that, in the case of clans, the solid con-
tents Of one-pound can weighed 81
ounces; two-pound cans contained 1G3
ounces. Two-pound cans of lobster
showed "A ounces of solid contents.
'Cnns of condensed milk turned out 13
ounces to the pound The contents of
cans Of mushrooms, after having been
drained of water and squeezed dry, did
not exceed g ounces to the pound.
Corn beef in cans made the following
exhibit: Six-pound can, 5; pounds Of
beef; four-pound can, 3 pounds and z
ounces of beef. All this is the result of
dishonest competition. Canned goods
are sold by tho can, the price graded
upon the honest weight being put into
the cans.

ARREST OF AN ESCAPED CONVICT
Martin Lofts, who was sentenced from
this county to three years in the State
prison, for burglary, and who escaped from
that institution in 1868. was arrested in
Nelson co., about seven miles from Mid
way, on Wednesday of last week, while on
visit to his father. He had lost finger,
and by that was identified by some persons
in the neighborhood. A party of about
20was formed, including David F. Fauber,
who was at Lofts wedding, and knew him
personally, J. W. Fauber, Peter J. :Hite.
Alfred Hite, Taule Hite, Jacob Fauber
and others, and they proceeded to surround
the house Of the father to watch for the
son. They watched from Sunday night
and on Wednesday morning about sunrise,
Lofts was seen approaching the house with
=. gun, accompanied by companion. Some
of the men in waiting behind fence rose
and called on him to surrender. He walk
ed two or three steps and then turned and
gave himself up. His companion also sur
rendered, but, being unknown. was re-
leased. Lofts will be returned to the pen
ltentiary from which he once sawed his
way out by means of a file furnished by
his wife in bible. While in the Jail here
ne made an unsuccessful attempt to escape
by firing the building.

HANDSOME REMEMBRANcE.-A few
months since Miss Laura Jack, of Calves
ton, Texas, a pupil at the Virginia Female
Institute, was quite ill, and during her ILL
ness received the professional attention of
DR.. B. B. Donaghe, and the personal and
tender care of Miss NJ. A. Burr, the associ-
ate principal, whose pupil she had also
been in New Orleans before coming here.
She recovered, and on her return home
sent them elegant souvenirs. To Miss
Burr she sent solid silver tete-a-tete tea
set composed of coffee pot, tea pot, sugar
and cream bowls, sugar tongs, and waiter.
All the pieces are delicately frosted. On
the waiter is engraved the inscription,
'sTo Miss M. A. Burr, from Laura Jack, y
and on each of the pieces of the service are
engraved the initials of Miss BIS name in
German text-the lettering made to suit
the size of the piece; to DR.. Donaghe she
sent an ebony cane, with massive gold
head deliberately ornamented with en-
craving, and ON plain panel engraved

THE BEST PAYING AND MOST DESIRA-

SALE.
The subscriber offers for sale one or both Of
his Store Houses, adjoining the Virginia Hotel.
No. is the house lately occupied by S. al 1.
Wilkes Furniture room. 1t is 10 feet
front, go feet deep, and ceiling ID feet pitch.
This room, in connection with rooms on the
second floor, has been renting for 1878, and
with an outlay of $3.50, will bring at least $780,
and I now offer it at ST., see. No other piece Of
property in the city that rents for $500 cali be
bought for less than 81, 500.
No. is the room now occupied by Elso m b
Piper as Dry Goods store, and is the same. size
as the room described above-and without any
doubt, it is the finest room in the Valley-l,sa
tifully frescoed, and Shelving and Counte rs to
correspond. This house is now rentin for
$500, and with 5000 expense will EASILY rent
for $500. Any house in Stanton that rents
for 5000 will sell readily for $4,000. will
sell it; however, for $1,000, on fair terms. The
title is PERFECT-NO BETTER GAN BE
GIVEN.
The above is no fancy sketch; it is nothing
but plain statement of facts, and it requires
but little logic to show that property that will
command a rent of l5 or l6 hundred dollars is
richly worth $l5 900, but am now Offering it
at $500
In case sell, would like to lease the corner
room for term of years.

DEATH OF AN AGED LADY.-Mrs.
Mary Herard, a teacher by profession, died
in Albermarle on the 10th inst, at the adj
vanced age of 81 years. She was the wild
ow of M. Herard, once French tutor at
the University of Virginia, and was prob
ably the oldest as she was certainly the
widest known teacher in Virginia. There
is hardly township in the State that has
not some one who was a former pupil of
Mrs. Herard. Having been left in good
circumstances. she devoted all her means
in the latter part of her life to works of
charity. She was a great traveller, and
though at such an advanced age, every
year made tour Of some portion of the
State, always visiting those of her former
pupils who yet lived and whom she never
forgot. She was buried from the Presby-
terrain church at Charlottesville.
