A number of Pennsylvania gentle
men have purchased large tract OF iron
ore land at Rockfsh Gap, about tOEr-
teen miles east of Staunton, and will
commence in few days the erection OF
furnace. 1t is also the intention OF
parties from Pennsylvania to establish
iron works at Buchanan as soon as the
Clifton Forge and Buchanan Railroad
is completed, so as to enable the Com
pany TO obtain coke from the New
River District. All through Virginia
there seems to be an awakening to the
importance of developing her resources,
and the large amount OF Northern
capital being invested here will stlmu-

KISSING AND MEAsLES.-Out in
the interrupted country, as some
young men land Old ones too. for
thst matter,) can remember, there
are still in vogue good many old
fashioned plays,in which kissing
enters as a potential factor. What
young man from the country has
not kissed some "countne lassic"
for whom he had shy liking, in
that way? Well, now for the cpl
sode. There was party given
near Whitmcll during Christmas
holidays, in which these delightful
pastimes, known as'kissing plays"
were INDUCED. Among the rest
who attended, was a very pretty
young lady, who was of course che
sen partner" often. a few days
thereafter about thirty young gen
tlemen broke out with the measles.
The young lady was just taking
them when she arrived at the par
ty.

The "Break" in the Grain
Trade.

The prices Of grain are considerably
lower than they were short time
since, and though the break of Satur-
day was partly recovered yesterday. yet
there seems promise of much-needed
relief to the blockaded market. This
relief will be none the less pleasant to
contemplate because it will have been
secured at the expense of the "syndl-
cate" $50 called) of spectators and
forestallers, who, for several months,
have been obstructing the natural
course of trade in their endeavor to reap
a profit by the enhancement Of price of
the leading bread stuff Of the world.
These spectators are entitled to no sort
of consideration whatever, either upon
this side of the ocean or the other, and
if they themselves should be broken by
the break in prices few tears will be
shed. 1t seems likely that prices will
20 down sufficiently in a very short
time to permit a renewal of grain ship
ments. The Mark Lane Express, of
January 30, said that prices would need
TO decline at least shilling aquarter
Tor say three cents busheD before
business would be resumed. There are
large supplies in store in European
warehouses, and the report that Russia
will be forced to buy wheat in the
spring is by no means credited in any
well.informed quarter. The general
European demand is not strong enough
TO sustain itselfin the presence of Chi
cago prices, and the quantity now a6oat
q rosts 10 Esrsps, partly on speculs-
tive account, is said 10 amount 10 H.
900, 900 bushels, or more than the total
number of bushels locked up in the
West. The French government is said
to have made nearly all its purchases,
and the area in which the fsrestallers
can operate is steadily diminishing. In
other words, to use the happy phrase
of the London Economist, the Chicago
corner seems TO be isolated" and no
combination liz the world, no matter
how magnificent its proportions, can
long maintain an absolutely artificial
scale of prices for an artical Of universal
consumptlon.-Bah. Sun.
