LETTER FROM POWHATAN.

JANUARY Il, iSi 4.
Editors Dispatch: The residence of Mr.
Jerman L. Stratton, one OF the oldest in the
county, on the road from the Courthouse
to Gainesville, was burned last week. A
son OF Mr.. Stratton had carried torch at
night to closet in the upper part OF the
house and accidently left behind him q
spark. The fire was discovered so late that
the furniture, and even the clothing Of
the family were destroyed. No insurance.
The dogs have been very destructive
among the sheep-tlocks in the neigh
borhood Of the Courthouse. DR.. VIII
liam Henerv, Judge Dabney, and
Mr.. w. Fl. Carhart have suffered.
Fifteen fine ewes of Judge Dabney were
killed in one night. Fortunately for the
county, we have special doglaw, by which
a tax Of one dollar upon each dog raises a
fund to pay for the sheep killed by dogs.
Such law ought to be in force in every
county in the State.
Notwithstanding the freeze is over, the
mud has been SO deept that our farmers have
done nothing. No plant-patches have been
prepared, and the fortunate few who made
tobacco are utilizing the bad weather In
stripping it out.

Leaf, and some considerable sales were made
in July--all bright Virginia leaf for Birds
eye commanded very full prices.
The October sampling realized the ex-
pectation of a poor import. Kentucky
stripts showed n large proportion OF short
and common, and there was little color even
in the Owensboro' stripts and leaf. The
large import OF Missouri developed some
good, useful stripts; but the quantity OF
leaf is so large that its weight must be felt
in reduced price.
The Virginia tobacco has leaf, but it is
deficient in substance and quantity. There
is, however, more limited demand than
formerly for fine dark Virginia leaf and
stripts, and it is difficult to realize profit
on high cost.
For the three closing months OF the year
we record good business, chiefly in west

month there were some considerable sales Of
leaf, and for town trade Missouri was taken

PETlTlOS-THE WEATHER-THE WHEAT.
Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.l
JANUARY %, 1877.
| learn that movement is on foot among
employees OF the eastern division OF the
Chesapeake and Ohio railroad to petition
the circuit Judge OF Richmond to compel
the receivers OF the load to pay up more
promptly. It is said Though it is so far ru-
mor) that payments are in arrears three
months. The Court requires, believe, that
they shall be paid up every month.
The weather is damp, sloppy, and the
roads are in a horrible condition. AS long
as the freeze remained people could manage
to get to town on sleiShs, but now the mud
is 50 deep that neither sleighs nor wheeled
vehicles can make any progress.
The wheat does not look well since the
snow cleared of. There is fear that the hard
weather has been bad for it. QC1P.

Yesterday John Cox, well-dressed
young man Of twenty-eiyht, was arraigned
before Mayor Balthis for going into six
stores, one after the other, Wednesday
night, making a small purchase, and then,
saying his nose was bleeding, stepping out
on the pavement and disappearing. The
Mayor gave him one hundred and eighty
days in the chain-gang, thirty in each case.
Robberies are frequent. Sunday night
the residence Of Mr.. William A. Hudson
