IMPORTANT TO TcBACCo,1AND CIGAR-DEAL.
ERs. The Secretary of the Treasury has rem
dered decision to the effect that tobacco
scraps are not manufactured tobacco within
the meaning Of the law, and therefore must
pay thirty per cent. duty and twenty four
cents per pound. 1t is also stated that 10 his
annual report the Commissioner Of Ioternal
Revenue will recommend that Congress
shall pass an set authorizing him to accept as
legal the brands on cigar boxes best suited to
p1ce on the bottom OF the cigar-boX an to-
delble impression showing the district,
State, name Of manufacturer, and number
of cigars. The present law is vague
and contradictory In that regard, for it says
in one place that boxes may be made
of wood, paper, or metal, and in another that
the above information (name, &C., shall be
"burnt in with branding.irou." The use
Of brapdiDg.iron on paper-box would
destroy it, and nothing but metal.punch
or die can be used on metal.box for this
purpose. The other day lot Of cigars were
seized out West for being in tin-bex with
the name, &C., punched in with u steel
punch. The Commissioner has ordered
their release, in letter, ID which be says
until Congress shall have had an oppor-
tunity to correct the apparently conflicting
provisions of law with regard to the kind of
boxes which may be used for packing cigars,
cigarettes, &C., and the modes OF branding,
be is not disposed to interfere with the use
of metal. or pope1-Gores where all the re.
quired names, numbers, &C., appear stamped

of wood, or partly of wood, the clSe is Diff

piled with in letter as well as in spirit.

many things that you city people geterally

are doing. 81 III
The most OF the farmers are now hauling
up corn soae are shucsi ns corn: some are
sowing Wheat, some are hauling OF wheat
TO market; sonneare stripping tobacco and
some are feeling the market with thelr late
cuttings; some are presuming too much on
what their big crops or tobacco are going to
.feseh, aud are going too much In debt upon
the faith OF their crops; and some are
tursey.hnnt;ng. There Is a comm endable
spirit among our people ia endeasoripg to
improve their stock OF hogs and cattle. How
10 raise meat enough for home consumption,
is question that IL now engaging the minds
especially OF those who have bacon 10 buy
The imported BerkShires,. the Essex, and
the Poland Chinas are excellent specimens
Of what hogs should be. We have
among us some few enterprisipg men who
are ardent admirers of good blood, and
they have spared no expense or pains 10 pro-
curing the best breeds OF stock and cattle.
| AS an auxiliary towards raising stock much
attention Is being paid TO the raising OF grass.
This Is o move Ia the right direction. Ii we
have grass we have what more truly de-
| serves the name Of King than cotton or to.
bacco. There is abundant evidence that our
lands are wasting away for the want of sod.
With our lands surfed we can look forward
70 the cultivation of the soil with more Salts
factory results, as the sod, through its de-
composition, Is rich In the essential elements
I of plant-food. This system ensures more
beef, more mutton, more wool, more hay,
more milk, more batter, and more pleasant
| home. ~l@'7a ~ 80 800
There is also . gro wing interest 10 the cul-
tivation Of fruits. Although the people are
poor, and hitherto depressed on account OF
bad-crop years. they have nevertheless exhib.
tied praisewortby spirit ia setting out, year
by year more and more Of the best varieties of

II is shame upon the people OF Virginia that
| they, havinga diversified soil and climate
suited to the best kinds OF apples, peaches,
and pears, should permit so much money to
go out Of her borders for the purchase OF
! fruits inferior to those that could be made at
home. a new era, however, has dawned
upon our Stale. ATesclution Is 20 " taking

not sell her pears In Richmond. and the ap.
