CHANNEL. ISLAND CATTLE.-Mr. Samuel
c. Kent, OF the well-kuOwn firm OF Franklin
Davis & Co., of this city, recently had the
largest sale of imported Jersey cattle that
ever took place in America at Herkness's
Bazaar in PhiladelDhiS. The importation
was the second OF Mr.. Kent. The bazaar
was thronged with breeders and admirers
Of the Jersey from all parts of the country.
Among the prominent gentlemen present
were Ex-Governor Hartranit, Edward &.
Knight, Samuel Sharpless, S. NJ. Burnham,
and others. Ex-Governor Samuel j. Tilden
was represented by Mr.. George f. Hull, OF
New Lebanon, n. Y. The bidding on a
number OF the COWS was very spirited, but
Governor Tilden obtained the cream OF the
lot for his magnificent stock-farm Grey
stone, at Yonkers, n. Y. The total sales
amounted to over $4,000. Mr.. Kent IS
well known TO ali the businessmen OF this
city and State, and few have been more
successful than be and stand higher for IN
tegrity, and we congratulate him on bis
great success in his importation OF such
fine cattle into this country. His stock
farm Avon. in Chester county, Pa, has
Justly a national reputation.

A Complaint from n Richmond Busi-
ness-Nnn.
AsBEvILLE, N. c., il


AsBEvILLE, N. c., June Il, 1881.
TO the Editors of the Dispatch, Richmond,
Vd.:
Gentlemen,-lt Is general complaint
here among the merchants that 1t takes them
from ten to twelve days to get any goods
they may buy in Richmond. and since one
OF the arguments We use in selling them
goods Is that they can get them so quickly
from our market. you can readily see how
very damaging this great delay on the part
Of the railroad authorities is to our busi-
ness. Surely the officers OF the Richmond
and Dsnville Railroad Company are not
aware OF this state Of affairs. For instance !:
sold merchant from this place. who was
in Richmond en- route for New York, por-
tion OF his bill-such goods as ne wanted
at once, and bought them because, as he
thought, he could have them at home in a
very few days. These goods were bought
and shipped on the 4th Of this month. To-
day | went into his store, and to my sur.
prise was informed nothing had been heard
from the goods and they might as well have
been bought in New York.
No one seems TO know where the delay
occurs, but there is great complaint here on
account Of it.. Can't you take some notice
Of it in your valuable paper, and see il you
cannot thereby help to abate this nuisance
to the trade Of Richmond?
have written you at much greater length
than bad intended, but the subject is one
Of great importance to our city, and fee
satisfied that the Richmond and Danvile
Company will throw no obstacle, inteltion'
ally, in the way Of Richmond's taking
prompt and vigorous advantage OF the ex
tensive avenues 10 trade which it has open
ed up 10 Us. Respectfully,
w. s. ROBERTSON,
OF Watkins, Cottrel & Co.

THE VIRGINIA HISTORICAL SOcTETY.-The
Executive Committee OF this Society have
issued the following circular 10 It's men,
bers
"The Virginia Historical Society was
unable for several years TO secure lOdg-
ment for its collection that was deemed
either safe or accessible. Upder these cir
cumstances its members were not called
upon for their annual dues. The last pay
ment made covered the year 1876. Through
the very great courtesy OF The Westmorc-
land Club excellent quarters have been pro-
ylded for the Society in lis club house,
corner Of Sixth and Grace streets, and the
books and papers properly arranged for
reference. This result IS the more crafty
ing when we consider the number OF vsi.
tors that will likely honor us with their
presence during this the centennial year OF
the surrender at Yorktown.
''In preparing the chambers for the re-
ception OF the Society's property, the small
store Of funds at its command was consumed.
IL Is the desire OF the Executive Committee
to arrange for the publication this year, for
the benefit OF the Society's members, Of the
letters OF Governor Spotsw0od. To accom-.
plish the work in the style in which il
should be presented, the committee bespe9k
o prompt and hearty response from the
membership in the payment Of their dues
for The current year."
This Society is not ioint-stock company,
but simply an association of gentlemen
who, without fee or reward, are doing their
best 10 preserve to posieriiy the historical
material OF this the most ancient of the
American Commonwealths. The annual
fee OF members is S5, and, it is hoped, the
membership will be so enlarged as to autho-
rize the early and continuous publication OF
the valuable manuscripts in the possession
Of the Society. The letters OF Governor
Spotswood are especially full Of interest,
and, il the fund now being raised will au-
thorize it. they will be published in hand.
some form during the current year.
