The leading characteristic of the COLI
duct of the Virginia political leaders since
the war, has been a marked tendency to
common sense, and there is therefore no
reason for surprise in the course they have
taken with respect to President Hayes APP
preaching visit. They have taken meas
ures to welcome him to their State With
that cordial hospitality which ought to
greet the Chief Magistrate of the nation
wherever he goes.
Virginia cast its vote against Nh Ruth
erford B. Hayes, the candidate for the
Presidency, but the Virginians do not un-
derstand it to be the part either Of patriot
ism or of good manners, to neglect the
duty of hospitality to Rutherford B. Hayes,
the President of the United States. They
might emphasize their political opinions by
loftily refusing to entertain him, but being
men of sense they purpose doing nothing
Of the kind.

Editors VSndacdtor;
NV attention has just been called to a
paragraph in your paper OF the 9th inst,
to the effect, that about the time of the
departure of the Sunday school excursion
from the Springs on Thursday last, GA
waiter at the hotel being requested to do
something by Mr.. W. w. Bradley Zone of
the Staunton excursionists,) refused and
said 4 am not here to wait on you, damn
YOU. &c." This statement does injustice
ing the little unpleaSantueSS alluded to.
whatever it may have been.
We desire to say, that SO far as is known
to us. no insolence or INSTRUMENTATION &C.
CURED on the Spri gs' grounds between
the servants of the hotel and any of the
excursionists. We understand that an I'M
pleasant occurrence did take place between
some of the parties allnded to at bathing
place, on Towards Creek, quite out Of the
Springs grounds, brought about by some
white persons annoying the servants by
throwing stones at them while engaged in
bathing. Any occurrence that may subse-
uuently have occurred between these par
ties, took place at the railroad depot, and
not at the hotel or on the Springs grounds
Our snle object in troubling you with this
explanation in reference to this small mat
ter, is to do simple justice to our hotel
management, which would neither toler-
ate or excuse Il gross insult from any of
our employees to any guest OF visitor of
the establishment.
Very respectfully,

The Prairie Farmer in some very

the preliminaTies for getting rid OF
cholera, that the animal be allowed
the free use of his nose. and free access
to woodland or meadows. In a word q,
let the hog get back to first principles
again in the mode of his lie. Avoid
over-crowding and long confinement
in any one place. Allow him variety
In his diet. Give him something else
besides clear corn. 1t may be that our
farmers have been too al xious, and in
too great hurry TO convert their corn
into pork, and SO into money; forget
ting that such a transmutation tax es

cry thing else, is pretty sure 20 over
