Keeping Vegetables in Winter.

There are a few general rules which
should be well understood, and which II

those who raise their own vegetables to
keep them in good condition, in nearly
all instances, much longer than is often
done These rules are:

and without alternating changes OF tenn
peratute.
.. if they dry and shrivel (as beets and
parsnips,) apply by external means
certain amount Of moisture.
3. II they do not shrivel. but rot as
potatoes and squashes) J, let the air which
surrounds them be dry and cold.
These rules may he easily and readily
oppljed in various cases. Potatoes, for
example, dry slowly, but are liable to
rot, and they may, therefore be subjected
to moderate currnts Of ar, in cool place
Light should be kept out to prevent
their becoming green and bitter. Ifrot
attacks them, it may be checked by re-
peatedly dashing on cold water, which
makes them clean, and by evaporation
cools them. II on lattice bottom, both

Only on Christmas Eve, the old man

Putting Patients to Sleep with Ether

Several members of the Partisan Bio
logical society have recently been eugag
ed in series Of experiments which seem
TO prove that everything endowed with
life, whether animal, plant or ferment, is
susceptible OF being brought under the
influence of anestheic0; in other words.
NAV be sent to sleep, 1t has been proved
that the influence Of anestheics'to all the
animal tissues, and of oil to the central
nervous system Hence, it was argued,
plants having tissues, must also be sub.
iect to the influence OF ether. etc. Expe'
rimenta have pooved this to be the case.
Gcrmination is arrested by anesthetics.
The water cress, for example, germinates
within thirty hours. Ether arrests ger
minatlon in this plant, hut does not de
strov that faculty. It merely sends the
plant to sleep, for germinntes rccommen-
ces as soon as the use Of ether is snspcn-
dcd The cqpahility Of being sent to
sleep is not confined to plants, it extends
to ferments Thus the Torment of beer,
when submitted for twenty four hours to
the influence OF ether, becomes perfectly
dormant but RECEIVERS activity as soon as
ancsthctic action is suspended Boston

What Will Make Hens Lay.

Put two or more quarts of water in

small ones, then put the kettle over the
fire. When the water boils, stir in coarse

MANCHESTER NEWS.

The Po,chatan Conuention.-The Repub-
lican Legislative Convention OF Powhatan
county will meet at Powhatan Courthouse
to-day. 1t is expected also that preliminary
skirmishing for the senatorial nomination
will begin, and number Of Manchester
and Chesterfield politicians are expected to
be present.
There are three candidates for the Legis-
lature, all colored, and each one is backed
by one Of the three magisterial districts,
as follows:
Henry Cox (present incumbent), Hugue-
not; Jasper Scott, Spencer; and Richard
Foster, Macon. ..-..
Henry Cox has represented the county
since 1869. and is probably the only MEM
Der OF the Legislature who has seen con-
tinuous service since the days OF recon
structon, with the exception Of Stevens
(colored), who was in the House from 1865
TO 1871, and in the Senate since.
Major Willis j. Dance, a Firginian OF the
old school and a man OF fine talent, is the
Conservative nominee. Cox defeated Major
Dance by q small majority in 1875, after
beating both the Conservative nominee ant
an independent coored Radical in 1873.
Cox is unpopular, the party is much di
vided, and with proper efforts Major Dance
can be elected.

LOCAL MATTERS.

MEETING OF THE CITY CONSERVATIVE
COMMITTEE LAST NIGHT-NOMINATioNs TO
BE MADE-PRIMARY FIXED F0R THE 23D.-
There was quite full meeting OF the City
Conservative Committee last night. The
resolution by which the committee at the
previous meeting determined that nomina-
tions for the House of Delegates should be
made was reconsidered and the whole queS-
ton was again fully discussed.
AS to maintaining the organization there
was no difference OF opinion. 1t was agreed
by all that the Conservative party yet had a
mission to fulfil; but By quite number it
was argued that the way to preserve it
for the future was to omit nominations for
the House, yet support the State ticket this
fall.
The committee, by vote OF 13 to II, re-
affirmed its former conclusion that nOmina-
tions should be made.
Mr.. Adams's primary-election plan was
then agreed upon. The election IS to be
held on Tuesday the 23d at one yoting-place
in each ward except Jackson. where there
are to be three. The FIVE candidates re-
ceiving the greatest number Of votes are to
be the nominees. The judges and clerks
who served at the last primary were re-
elected. None but 1rhite Conservatives are
to be permitted to vote; the voting to be
vird uoce. AS to all minor details the plan
is identical with that used at the last
primary.
The following was adopted:
ReSolued, That all persons who desire to
be candidates for nomination by the party
at the primary election be requested to
notify the secretary Of this committee on
or before the 10Th instant. and that the
Committee on Printing be instructed to have
all names thus furnished printed on ticket
alphabetically arranged.
Messrs. D: G: Richardson, John F. Resn-
ault, and G.. F. Taylor, was appointed to
prepare an address to the people urging
them to participate in the primary.
The designations Of Colonel John 3. Pur-
cell and T. Wiley Davis, Esq, were offered,
and laid on the table. ...-.-
