ARREsTED.-A young man named Davis,
who had been about Staunton for some days
getting advertisements to business album
to be kept in the hotels. was arrested Sat-
urday for obtaining money under false pre-
lenses, and lodged in Jail for ten days. 1t
seems that in soliciting advertisements he
used the name of Mr.. Crowle, proprietor of
the Va. Hotel, too freely, asserting that Mr..
G. was to reap all the benefit from the adj
yertisements, and stating to various parties
that he (AIr. CO. requested their cards as a
personal favor to him. In several instances
he show a note to that effect, purporting to
be from Mr.. C. After getting quite num-
Der of cards, he attempted to get away from
Stanton and for that purpose hired bug
gy and drove to Fishersville, with a view to
catching the tain. He was apprehendcd
and brought back.

The market for wheat and flour has remained
very steady since our last issue, with slight ad
vance in prices. Wheat was in moderate demand
yesterday at 81 IS to 81 40 for good article, and
Extra -four SO 90 to SO O5. There has: been great
excitement in the:Baltimore market, the BULLS
and the bears in wheat transactions swapping at
each other with bitter feeling. The shorts on
September delivery. or those who sold wheat to
be delivered the last Of September first OF .Oc-
tober, have found that the caution Of the farmers
has worked to their disadvantage, and Instead of
flooded market they realize scarcity in guam
tity, while 1.-THE shipping interests require the
contracts to be filed. The '1ongs." or those who
purchased for delivery at such dates and certain
prices held the shorts to their contracts with no
compromise. The result has been that the shorts
had to plank down thel wi eat or the cash to pay
the difference in prices agreed upon and the price
actually ruling.
These gambling operations only emphasize the
views we have heretofore advanced, that the le-
gltmate demand of trade Will keep wheat at about
present prices As the speculations In wheat reach
their results, and that result showing that there
is no good reason for decline in price, -four be-
gins to advance to rates corresponding with that
paid for wheat, showing that the demand is legit.
innate and not Influenced by speculation.
We may safely assume that wheat will sustain
its present rate, and that -four will reacha cores
ponding rice. The same caution heretofore OBJ
served, should be continued on the part of the
producers. Fluctuations may occur, influenced
by speculation, but prices will be very apt to set.
tie Mt about the fair prices now ruling.

the wife of Morris, the man sentenced to be
hung last Tuesday, passed thro' this place
on her way to Richmond to endcavor to in

When she arrived here, she WAS without a

would ever reach Richmond. She said that
lady of influence had promised to meet her
there and take her to the Governors. A
subscription was taken up and ticket to
Richmond purchased for her. She seemed
to be in deep distress, and half unconscious
of all surroundings. The respite was obtain

DEAF AND DUMB AND BLIND INsrIT u
TIoN.-Every indication points to larger
number of pupils at this Institution this ses-
sion than ever before. The efforts made,
during the last vacation, to hunt up pupils
in the State were emincntly successful. 1t
seems strange that an effort In this direction
should be necessary. One would think that
parents every where would be anxious to
avail themselves, for their children, of such
advantages as the Institution offers, but it is
not so. Even after finding the children up
on the part of the Institution, it is often with
reluctance that the parents will allow them
to come. In some instances they don t want
to entrust their afflicted ones 10 the care O t
strangers, in others, they are unwilling to
lose their services at home, while many are
utterly Indifferent upon the subject
