of the building in which it is proposed to
manufacture these will be 140x40 feet,
and two stories high Mechanics who
have examined models of the cultivator,
which were on exhibition in the lower part
of the city, near Williams, White g. Co.'S
foundry claim it to be superior to any
thing in the cultivator line now manufac
tured. Its superiority lies in the fact that
the cultivator is operated by spring con
trivance, with great ease by the plowman
and team.
It will probably be a success, as the me-
chanics were very emphatic in their praise.
There is room for several more factories

in reply a blow from the shoulder that

Marketing Groceries.

Helen Campbell in Our Continent
says:
Flour improves with age and costs far
less if bought by the barrel than in small
quantities The drier the place In which
it is kept the better, a dry, cool place
being the standard rule for all stores
III there is room it is best to have two
barrels, one of old process or st. Louis
-four, the other the new process or HAY
all. The latter packs much more close
1y than the old, and a pound will not
measure as much while it swells more.
1t therefore makes much harder cake
or pastry than the old, which is to be
preferred for everything but bread,. and
in all cases an eighth less is to be taken
than of the old. Thus in a rule for bread
calling for four quarts, but three and a
half would be required.
Graham -four should be of good wheat,
ground and unsifted, but is more often
inferior flour mixed with bran. Various
forms of sswhole wheat meal are now
in the market, but to be had only at the
best grocers' or directly from the mills.
Like flour, Graham, if kept cool and
dry, improves with age. Rye on the
contrary can only be bought in small
quantities, rs in hot weather it speedily
becomes musty. Indian meal IL made
by the Old process Will give the same
trouble. BY the new, the corn is dried
for two years before using, andis ground
in such a manner that a granutated meal
is produced which keeps as perfectly as
flour yellow meal is richer and thus
more nutritious than the white. Oatmeal,
cracked wheat and hominy all keep per-
fectly, tin being the best for this pur-
pose, as weevil are more likely to get
into wooden boxes. Small cracker-tins
are excellent for this purpose.
Granulated sugar will be found cheap
est and best for general use. Being
perfectly dry there is more to the pound
than in any brown sugar, and it is also.
sweeter. It is one of the few things in
which it makes but little difference
whether one buys in small or large
quantity, but barrel at time is con-
venienee. Where syrup Is used it is

THE NEW hose HOUSE.

Main street, next to the foundry, just OPP
posite the main office, in the place where
the old oil house is at present situated 1t
will be two-story brick, the lower room

will be meeting or assembly rooms sof the
company. The cellar will DE used for the
storage of oil. At present they are digging
a trench to make sewer connections with

Oallaoe Songs.

College music is seldom original, old
tunes being fitted to new words and
pressed into service. Operate airs are
freely called upon, as in the case OF the
Trumpet Song from II Puritani,
which is frequently joined to the words
of secret society songs, and sometimes
to the Latin words of s.Lauriger;" and
such odd conjuactions as MARY had q
little lamb, shouting the battle cry of
freedom" are not uncommon. The
wearisome old ..Greenville'' is divorced
from Far from mortal cares retreat
ino,a' and made almost tolerable with
the words, Saw my leg off, short, the
two final notes of each strain of the tune
being omitted. The s.Menagerie has
done good service. The DERBY RAM
and "Binga'' are adaptations of old
English school songs. The song of
Peter Gray in its original shape was
a serious song called PLEASANT Michi-
gam of which the last word in the re-
frain was heightened to 4'Michigan-i-a
a-a.' The buriesque wilkins and his
Dinah,n borrowed by some of the coll
leges from the old Bowery Theatre, was
in like manner rustic sentimental song
of the old school, called s.Sir William
and DIANA Springfield Mountain
was familiar in Western Massachusetts
before the college boys took it up. The
air to which Kirke White hymn ..W hen
marshaIled on the nightly plain is us
ually sung has singular effect when
the words of the Three Crows are
deaconed off to it, after the fashion OF
s.Bohunkus. - If there is any music in
this country, outside of the weli-worn
Ethiopian melodies now out of fashion,
which can be said to constitute dis
tinctively American school, perhaps
there is none better entitled TO be so
reckoned than that composite product
of the musical geniglses in the schools
OF America now known as college songs

Robbery and Probable Murder I'm
Albemar10.

A gentleman from Albemarle arrived in
the city yesterday and reported the follow
Ing:
Monday night about O'Clock two white
men, supposed to be strangers, entered the
store Of Mr.. Stephen ID. Mayo, who lives
IN Aibeinarle county about eight miles
from Scottsville, on the Monticello road.
The men made several Insignificant pur.
chases, and while Mr.. Mayo was waiting
upon them one Of the party drew a pistol
and fired upon him, the ball taking effect in
the head near the eye, in1icting a serious
and probably fatal wound. MIR. Mayo fell
senseless to the floor, and the men pro-
ceeded TO rob the money-drawer OF its con-
tents. II was known that Mr.. Mayo kept a
considerable quantity OF money in the
store, but fortunately he did not keep II all
in any one place. He bad no safe, but he de
posted his mohey in different places about
the house for safe-keeping. BY this means
the robbers were prevented from securing
as heavy booty as they expected. Leaving
the wounded man lying insensible upon the
floor, the men made off without exciting any
alarm. After awhile Mr.. Mayo returned
to consciousness and succeeded In securing
assistance. His condition, however, is very
critical, and the worst is feared as to iIi-
ture consequences.
One Of the men engaged in this dark
work is supposed TO be the notorious Able
marie murderer, James Rhodes, who was
the chief figure in the Masse murder, the
details Of which are fresh now in the minds
Of the people.

Schooi.Girls' Sunortngs.

The Young men who complain that the
marriageabe girls are lacking in knowledge
Of housekeeping have not got down to the
root Of the trouble. What our girls lack is
not knowledge Of any kind-it is health.
The great trouble with most OF them Is that
they know too much, except OF one or two
things that would be Of most value to them.
There is nothing in the newspapers more
distressing to a thoughtful lover OF his race
than the accounts OF the "graduating exer-
cises" at girls schools. The girls are
commonly " "graduated at about The age
when their brothers are beginning their
serious studies at college, and into the lew
years during which they need the tender
est care they have had crowded an amount
of work that would appall vigorous
adult. The result is that those OF them
who are not killed outright enter upon life
with no other endowment than backache.
A well-known physician has lately said
that when young woman comes 10 con-
suit him he always asks whether she STOOD
high in her class, so constant 4 corresponds
ence has he found between the graduating
average and the poor girls feeble health.
And this is easy TO understand. a boy
might stand the amount OF application ana
OF excitement TO which a girl is subjected
IN her school years IL any boy could be
found to submit to it; but no parent would
expect Of a boy what is expected on his
daughters at this early age. And yet moth
ing il more certain than the period OF life
during which our girls are having their
heads crammed with all sorts OF possible
and impossible learning and accomplish
ments, their minds upset with public ex-
hibitions, and their bodies wearled with
perpetual unrest, is just the period that de-
termines whether they shall grow up healthy
women or helpless invalids.
There may be some girls who pass
through this ordeal unframed, but 1t is u
mystery how they do it. And the worst OF
it j. that it is upon the women OF humble
means, who cannot afford the luxury 0f IN
yalidism, tpat the curse OF this pernicious
system falls. Well tO-dO people usually
take better care OF their girls nowadays.
They encourage them in outdoor exercise
and give both body and mind reasonable
chance for development. But the girls
who. il they have not health, will have no
dowry whatever, are those who are grouno u
down TO this terrible seryitude in the
schools, in the vain delusiOn that their edl-
cation will be OF value TO them. IL could
never be OF much value in any case, be-
cause a system that Grams all the study OF
a lifetime into four or five years is fraud
on the face Of it 4; but being almost ineyia-
bly purchased at the cost OF PERMANENT ILL
health ii is very much worse than useless.
III women can wait and take their learning
leisurely il may do them no harm; ~ IL IL,
