Fauquier led off with solid delegation
for Mr. Barbour, for nomination for re-elec-
ton to Congress from this district; Rappa-
hammock followed suit, and last night Alex
andria sent an entire delegation pledged 10

If any, opposition, and that with the de

nomination will be by acclamation
Col. Robert Mayo, Of Westmoreland. was
yesterday nominated by the coalition con-
vention which met in Fredericksburg, AS
the candidate for Congress in the LIST dis
trict, represented by Judge Garrison. The
nomination is probably as strong a one as
the party could have made, Col. NJ. having
some personal popularity in his part of the
district; but if private Bob Washington, OF
Westmoreland, will just take the Colonel
i'll hand Judge Garrison can be relieved of
any trouble, and between the Judge and the
private the Colonel will have 'monkey and
parrot time Of it and be very apt to wish
that he hadn't gone there. And Mr. Geo. C..
Round, who has had such ''hankering
arter Congress" and who had the dead
wood on the convention, is again tout in

ambition Of Mr. Round to be made martyr

The coalition convention Of the 4th dis
trict, after two days wrangling. yesterday
nominated one B. S. Hooper-to fame I'M

how the cat was to jump, and how he had
been duped, drew out, declining to allow
his name TO be presented to the convention
on the ground 'of gross fraud pcrpetrate(

he will submit in the near future to the re

are that he will run as an independent

WHY Mr.. FAIR should want to be Il
candidate for Congress with the certainty of
an overwhelming defeat before him is what
nobody but he and the Mahoncitcs can tell.
There was an apparent reason, though by
no meaus q commendable one. why he
should have been member Of the House of
Delegates and Superintendent of Public
instruction nj the same time: but why
when still filling the latter Office he should
be candidate for Congress, with inevitable
defeat staring him in the face, and when
that candidacy has no pay attached to it. is
something that but few fellows can find out

They have blue and white striped can

coast with Riders both male and female,
together with the finest array of Acrobats,
Gymnasts and Athletes in the world.
Two funny clowns and the most wonder

Barney and Jack, doing over $50 distinct
tricks. Jack stands on q Tableau Car,
takes the lines in his mouth and drives
his team through the streets. Wait for

play there before coming here and Mr..

Thinning Frn t.

Thinning fruit is one of the practices
which will repay the culturist for the
time and labor expended in the opera
ton. The more valuable the fruit, the
better it pays to thin it while young.
Peaches and pears, being more valuable
than apples, better repay the cost of
thinning. The best varieties of apples.
however, will well repay the expense in
Cured. The fruit should be thinned
soon after it sets. The sooner the young
fruit is removed, the less of the energies
of the tree will be consumed in its use
less growth, ana the larger and finer will
be the development of the fruit that re-
mains. The practice of thinning fruit is
commended by some of the best Ameri.
can fruit culturists. such as J. J..
Thomas, President Wilder and many
others. The cost of thinning is not so
great as one might imagine it would be,
and is trivial in comparison with the in
creased price obtained. Hon. A. s. Dyck-
man of South Haven, Mich, it Is said,
estimates that the cost Of thinning his
peaches does not exceed 5 cents per
basket of those remaining. From one of
his trees he removed TO- 900 peaches and
the ripened crop amounted to fifteen
baskets. Mr. George Parmelee, of Grand
Traverse county, is said to have sold
peaches one year from trees where the
fruit had been thinned, for 50. 80 per
basket, while the fruit which had not
been thinned sold only for $1.2o. The
advantage gained in thinning pears is
equally great.
