Notes.-Snow fell last week to the depth of
six inches, and was in time to relieve the wheat
from the damaging effects of six weeks of dry
windy weather. Our farmers hsve commenced
butchering. There is great scarcity of stock
hogs. Sales at the following figures have
been made: Net, n and cents gross cts
The farmers throughout this section have
taken advantage of the FAVORABLE weather with
which we have been blessed this fall, to ad.
vance the operations of the farm, but great
many are late IN getting their corn housed,
owing to the scarcity of farm hands.
Spectators have thinned out the large stock
Of mich cows IN this vicinity; consequently
prices have advanced, and good mixers range
from $40 to $50. One OF our farmers a few
days ago sold good mixer, twelve years old,
minus horn, for $50 cash.
Mr.. Jos. M. Whitmore has sold his home
place, containing seventy acres, to Mr.. Je-
rome Keller. for 81 800

couraged at the low rates for wheat, has con.
ditionaly sold his farm, and contemplates
opening factory in your city for the manu-.
facture of wind mills. He is sharp enough to
know the value OF printers ink, and when he
advertises in the VIRGINTAN we will reveal
his name &c.

The TRANSIT OF vENUs.-Thousands of
telescopes were aimed at the sun from almost,
every quarter of the civilized world on yes
terday to witness the planet of Venus passing
across the face ofthe sun. This phenomenon
known as the transit of Venus, Is Of the high
est importance to astronomical science, and
astronomers haye been preparing for the OBJ
servation of it for great many years, and at
greet expense. 1t was the last opportunity
any living astronomer will have to witness
transit of Venus, as the next one occurs in
1904. There are four transits in every 243
years. and they occur in pairs, the two tran
sits composing pair being only eight years
apart, but the pairs being separated BY more
than century. The first one OF the present
pair of transits occurred in 1874. Tie last
transits previous to that were in 1761'snd 1859
The next pair will occur in 1904 and 2012. a.
A number of local astronomers were making
observations yesterday, through the medium
OF smoked glass. The speck on the suns face
was plainly visible. .,r.s5, u "a
to the very inclement weather, the torcLlight
procession at Harrisonburg, last Wednesday
night, in honor of the election of Hon. John
Paul and the triumph of the Liberal ticket
was postponed. Bonfires were burnt on the
street, and short speeches made by Hon. John.
Paul, Dr. Webb, W. e. Craig, G. D. A. Cur
ry, E. L. Houff and others, to large crowd in
the Court House. Next Saturday night the
torchlight procession will take place and
splendid time generally is expected. Special
rates over the B. & o. and Valley Railroads
will be given, and large crowd will doubtless
be in attendance. Let everybody turn out and
make the demonstration commensurate with
the event it is designed to celebrate.
CRoMwELL's ART ENTERTAINMENT.-T
entertainment of Prof Cromwell commencing
at the Masonic Hall on Monday night and con-
tinung through the week, promises to be one
of the most enjoyable of affairs. The exhibit
ton is warmly commended by the press and
citizens wherever it has been shown. and the
lecture, which occurs each evening, is
within itself a treat. Entertainment As
grouped with solid instruction, and those
who attend will come away not only pleased.
but greatly benefited by the information I'M
parted. We hope to see:crowded houses every
night, for we are assured that the exhibition
is in every way worthy of the most extensive
patronage.
SALE OF A VALUABLE PRoPERTY.-The
Virginia Porcelain and Esrthenware Co. have
sold their valuable property. on South River,
to Messrs Walton 6 Sweeney, of Wheeling
W. Va, for $l2 900 equivalent to cash. The
new proprietors propose to commence opera
tons in tue near future by the manufacture
Of fire brick. They aresexperienced in the
business, having now large manufactures in
operation in West Virginia and Ohio. ::zThere
is no finer property in the South than that
they have recently purchased, and it will
doubtless prove handsome investment to
them and material benefit to the county.
