Virginia Notes.

An exhaustive article upon the
peanut trade, recently published,
states that Virginia alone produces
sixty percent of the crop OF the
United States.
The authorities OF Danville, it is
now said, have gone to work in
downright earnest, and are max
ing a determined effort to check
the alarming increase of crime in
that tiourishing town.
1t is said that last month the
Atlantic, Mississippi and Ohio
Railroad did the largest business
ever done on its line; also that it's
present income is more than suffi-
cient to meet its interest account.
Captain William Watkins, con-
ductor of freight train on the
Virginia Valley Railroad, was
killed on Tuesday night at Cowan's
Station. The cars ran over him,
cutting his body in two. He was
from Sandy Hook, Maryland,
where his family reside.

JOGGING.
By the President Of the United States
"A Proclamation.
AT no period in their history since
the United States became nation
has this people had so abundant and
so universal reasons for joy and graf
itude at the favor of Almighty God,
or been subject to so profound an
obligation to give thanks for His
loving kindness, and humbly i'm
plore His continued care and pro-
lection.
Health, wealth and prosperity
throughout all our borders; peace,
honor and friendship with all the
world; firm and faithful adherence
by the great body of our population
to the principles of liberty and JUS
tice, which have made our greatness
as a nation, and the wise institutions
and strong frame of government and
society, which will perpetuate it-for
all these let the thanks of happy
and united people, as with one voice,
ascend in devout homage to the
Giver of all Good.
/ therefore recommend that on
Thursday, the 25th day of Novem-
Der next, the people meet in their
respective places of worship to make
their acknowledgements Almighty
God for his bounties and His protec-
tion and to offer to Him prayers for
their continuance.
In witness whereof l have here
unto set my hand and caused the
seal of the United States to be affixed.
Done at the city of Washington
this first day of November, in the
year of our Lord one thousand eight
hundred and eighty, and of the indie
pendence of the United States the
one hundred and fifth.

THE RESULT.

James A. Garfield has been elected
President of the United States for
four years from the 4th of March
next.
The result is accepted by the DEM
ocrats with that cheerful resignation
which has characterized their accept
ance of similar defeats for the past
twenty years. In fact they seem to
have gotten used to it.
There are many reasons assigned
for the defeat of the Democratic par
ty. A defeated party never lacks
excuses for its defeat. They are
handy and cheap. 1t is little sing
ular that the leaders do not suspect
these causes in advance of the cleo
ted, and take steps to provide against
them.
But there is no use specializing on
the causes of the result. General
Garfield has been elected President.

Horrible Murder Of u Boy In
California.

A telegram from Loss Angels,
CAL, says that murder by pois-
ening was perpetrated in that city,
the victim being native of Cali
forniaa boy aged nine years. The
boy, who had been to a store on an
errand for his mother, on his re-
turn was met by man who told
him that he would find a package
of candy on a certain window
ledge, that had been placed there
for him. The boy got the package,
and. after eating some of the candy
his mother took the rest from him
and laid il aside until he had eaten
break fast. The child had scarcely
taken three mouthfuls Of coffee be-
fore he complained of a burning
sensation in his stomach, and a
few minutes after was taken with
spasms. A physician was sent for,
who pronounced the symptoms
the same as those produced by
strychnine. The usual remedies
were applied, but the boy fingered
only an hour, and died in great
agony. An inquest WAS held, and
a verdict in accordance with the
above facts rendered Joe Woods
and Bill Justice, white men, and
a colored woman who elaine to be
Woods wife have been arrested on
suspicion, the woman having been
heard to threaten the child's life,
and are now in Jail awaiting the
results of the analysis of his
stomach.

ROWELL,s DIRECTORY.

We have heretofore neglected to
notice Rowell's American News
paper Directory for 1880. 1t is an
ON ssion that we can hardly make
proper amends for, as it is the most
complete work of the kind ever
issued, and is emphatically what its
publishers have aimed to make it
the standard of American newspaper
statistics. 1t it is a convenient and
trustworthy index to American
newspapers, and an invaluable book
TO publishers and advertisers. We
append the following from the Full
ton IN. " Times, which is a plain
and complete statement of the &C.
tual truth about the Directory, and
entirely covers our opinion in regard
to it:
"The new American Newspaper
Directory of Geo. Z. Rowell IL Co.
is volume of more than a thousand
pages, and undoubtedly the most
elaborate and complete work of the
Kind ever issued. The arrangements
OF the lists by States and in alpha
betical order, is such as to make ref
erence easy; and besides, there is,
for every town in which newspaper
is published, statement of location,
population, lines of communication
and distinguishing characteristics
that is very valuable to all who seek
information of a general nature.
The mechanical execution of the
work would be credit to any pub
Usher in this country. From bust
ness relations with Messrs. Rowell
d Co., extending over about a dozen
years, and tolerably familiar &C
quaintance with their publications,
we have never been inclined to-and
do not now-believe they are actu-
ated by any but the most commend
able motives in the compilation of
their Directory. 1t has been a deli
cate and responsible task, to be sure,
without personal acquaintance, and
sometimes without reliable commu-
nication, to embody in convenient
form statistics which the business
public was clearly entitled to, and
yet avoid collision with the interests
of a class of newspaper publishers
who would, either from mistaken
notions of policy, or with fraudulent
intent, withhold this information
They have shown admirable indie
pendence and determination i'll the
prosecution Of their task; but as was
inevitable, they have incurred the
displeasure of some who don't know
why, and more whose attempts to
swindle in the matter of circulation
have been to some extent thwarted.
In an age when knavery is so prev
alent an honest man is often COM
PEELED to choose between his own
conscience and some of the highest
moral pretenders, whom he will
serve, in other matters than publish
ing Newspaper Directories.
Messrs. Rowell IL Co. are now at
work preparing the edition of 1881
for the press, and hope to make it
best of all.
The twelve annual editions of the
American Newspaper Directory, is
sued by Geo. p. Rowell & Co., in
Guiding that for 1880, has required
an actual cash outlay of $123, 574.71.
This is the best evidence of the un-
firing energy and enterprise of this
great advertising firm.
