John TX. Giliias e. Co.'s Circular as to
Tobacco.
LONDON, CROSBY SoUARR,}

~ ouues 1910
The market for tobacco was again tx.
tremely dull last month, and the apathy of
the trade was, we think, more marked than In
any previous month of the season. A few
purchases were made to supply actual wants.
and these mainly consisted Of the better
classes Of strips, for which our lull quota.
tons were paid.
The general feeling of buyers is clearly
that the advantage Of delay must be all on
their side, and the adverse crop reports
faed entirely to arouse them to action.
Holders have certainly shown no impa-
thence, and SO long as shippers are content to
realize slowly, We may assume that prices for
good strips will be maintained. The future
Of common strips is more difficult to gauge !;
at present buyers decline TO have anything
to say TO them.
The stock of leaf in merchants hands is
very small. and we hear Of no transactions
in the market worthy of note.

THE RAILROAD wAR--A BOLD ATTEMPT TO BURN
REcToRY THE GAS QUESTION.
PETERSBURG. June 10. 1875.
There are no further developments IN the
railroad war to-day, though the action OF the
Councit yesterday afternoon and Its probable
effects are the themes of comment every.
where.
The City Attorney to-day, in accordance
with the instructions Of the Council, GIed
a bill Of interroua,ories against Dir. Reuben
Ragland, which is made TeiurnaDle on Wed.
nesday Of next week.
At the adjourned meeting Of the Council
held last night at 81 O'Clock, to anticipate any
action that might be taken by the friends OF
the Petersburg railroad in reference to the
levy ordered by the Council In the afternoon,
it was reported that the instructions of that
body had been carried out quietly and with
out resistance. The sheriff made report,
showing that he had levied upon fifty-three
carloads Of railroad iron drought here
from the CASTOR brancb), stored upon
the wharf, over which he had placed a
guard, TO hold 1t day and night until re.
leased. The value Of this iron is said to be
about $4,000 or $4,000. 1t will be duly
advertised for sale by the city, and will he
sold unless stopped by legal proceedings.
Meanwhile Che people are excited as to the
ioal result of this interesting railroad case,
for its settlement one way or the other is
matter of very deep interest TO our city and
section.
The number Of shares sold By the city to
Mr.. Ragiapd was about ALSO. MIR. Ragland
still owes about $4,000, with interest, on
this purchase. TO secure which the city holds
3 lien on $500 shares Of stock.
A bold attempt was made last night to
burn the rectory Of st. PauPs church--the
second that has been made within the last
two or three weeks. Rev. Mr.. Hams and
lady were out visiting at the time. The in.
ccndarics poured oil on the blinds and sill Of
the storeroom window, set fire to it, and
left. When discovered the fire had almost
burned through the blinds. Just inside Of
the window was a large en- Of kerosene, Of
the position of which it is thought the parties
were aware. 1t is much regretted in the
comrunity that the parties who are guilty
of these outrages cannot be caught and pun
i>hed.
Richard A. Frazier, arrested for forging 4
check for $40 and passing it upon Mr.. Will
liam Rahily, was to-day examined BY The
Mayor and committed to jail without bail,
to be tried for felony at The July term of the
Hastings Court.

most probably be accepted. ROBIN HOOD.

Commencement OF Hampton Normal
and Agricultural Institute.

CORRESPONDENCE Of the Richmond Dispatch1
OLE POINT COMFORT, June 10, 1876.
A run down James river 10 the good
steamer John Sylvester is always delightful,
but found it peculiarly so on this trip.
The commencement exercises OF the Hamp-
ton Normal and Agricultural Institute took
place to-day. I gave the Dispatch last year
so full an account Of the origin, history, and
work of this school that need not repeat it
now, Suffice it to say that it originated in
the idea of furnishing suitably prepared CO.
lored teachers for the colored schools OF the
SJuth-that this idea has been steadily kept
in view, and that the most gratifying success
has attended the experiment.
The farm, which we had the pleasure OF
going over this morning. Is IN Deautiiui
order, and seems to be admirably managed
and worked. The farm was so managed as
to meet all OF its expenses, afford the STU
dents aid without which they could not
have remained at the Ipstirute), and still clear
the neat little sum OF 81 3l0.57. The farm
winters about sixty head of stock; among
them some very tue pure-bloods. 1t pro.
duces an average of twenty.Seven gallons or
milk per day, for which ready sale is found.
TIE WORK OF THE PAST YEAR,
"a exhibited in the annual report OF Tue IFe'
sident to the Board of Trustees at their meet.
ing yesterday, has been most gratifying.
There have been in attendance during the
session SO girls and 154 boys, making total
of 243.
Since the foundation of the school there
have been 500 matriculateS, OF whom loi
have been engaged in teachlns-chiehy IN
the public schools Of Virglnla-and there
come in continuously the best reports OF
their efficiency Us teachers and their kinoiy
relations to the whites. The outlay OF the
Institute last year was $50, 900, and this is the
estimated annual outlay.
Six different trades have been taught 10
students, and it is proposed TO introduce
others.
The students earned by their work last
wear Sc. 600. and have earned during the SLY
years S32. 900.
The students are required to keep them
selves clean, attention is paid to their man
ners at table and their department generally
and every influence is brought to bear Z
ciuiIize and christianize them, that they mai
carry good Influences to their race.
