SOUTH BOSTON, March IL, 1885.
The weather moderated considerably
last Friday, and Saturday was a warm,
bright spring day. Sunday rain fell
continually, and it was hoped that a
tobacco season had at last come, but
Monday morning was clear and cold.
To-day it is very cold and the sky looks
as if fall Of snow might be expected.
SERIOUSLY I'LL.
Colonel c. II. Cabaniss, one of our
oldest citizens, is extremely ill at his
residence near this place. His sickness
will he heard Of with deep regret by
many friends in all portions OF the
State.
BRIEFS AND PERSONALS.
Mrs. Sarah Walthall, an aged widow
lady, died a few days ago at her resi-
Gencc, near Halifax Courthouse. She
was a peDsiOner Of the National Govern
ment, her husband having served in the
war Of 1872.
Rev. o. A. kinsoiying. of st. Johns
church. Halifax Courthouse, was called
to Albemarlc yesterday by telegram
conveying the intelligence Of the death
of his sister, Miss Verbs kinsolying.
Breaks at the warehouses to-day were
much heavier than they had been for
some time.
The eclipse of the sun yesterday i'll
terestcd many Of our citizens, especially
the small boys.
Farmers have begun their farming
operations, but so far have made but
little progress.
The continued cold weather will have
ore good effect at any rate. 1t will
keep back the fruit crop. Generally
fruit in Halifax is killed between the
lSt and Goth Of April.
Mr.. Richard Darlington. the engi-
ueer of the Richmond and Danville
railroad who was so severely injured
by an accident to his engine several
months ago, is now at his home. at
Halifax Courthouse. and will doubtless
be able TO resume his duties in a short

Liability Of HoteI.KeeDerx.

A Boston special says: In the Supe-
rior Civil Court to-day, in the suit of
Sarah 5. Marie, young lady from New
York, against J. W. Wolcott, propric-
tor Of the Hotel Vendome, the jury re-
turned a verdict for the defendant. This
action attracted considerable attention
as being of special interest to landlords
and the travelling public. 1t was an
action to recover some s., 900, the value
Of diamonds and jewelry stolen from
the plaintiff while a guest at the de-
PENDANTS hotel in May, 1888. 1t
appeared that the property was
locked in q bureau-drawer in the
plaintiffs room, and was stolen
during her absence, the door of the
room being unlocked, as there was no
key. II appeared at the trial that the
rules of the hotel, which were posted in
The plaintiffs room, required that guests
on leaving their rooms should leave
their keys with the clerk at the Office,
and that the landlord would not be re-
sponsible for yaluables lost or stolen
unless given in charge Of the clerk.
Judge Knowlton, in charging the jury,
said IL it was found that the negligence
Of the plaintiff contributed to the loss
she could not in any event recover. The
jury found that the plaintiffs negligence
contributed to the loss.

Rivers nj the AssipoSes.
federal Austrsiian.t


There are two magnificent sources Of
wealth in Australia, one Of which has
been imperfcctly exploited, while the
other is almost untnppcd. The first
consists OF the subtcrrancan channels
of ancient rivers, which have long ceased
to dow and have been buried for ages
beneath the superintendent strata
through which the enterprising miner
now sinks his shaft. Each Of these must
have been a yeritable Pactolus, and
their golden sands have yielded rich
return to many an adventurous COM
pany. The second source of wealth is
slso sub,errauean, and will probably
prove to be far more precious than the
first. We refer to the underground
rivers which have their origin in the
great central depression Of the Austria
lian continent, where some superficial
streams and the heavy tropical rains dis
appear, percolstng through the pene-
trable soil and forming hidden rcser-
yoirs, from whence at least two great
bodies of water issue southwark and
find an outlet in the sea. Ever and
anon one Of these channels is pierced
by the well-sinker, and there rises TO
the surface a perennial spring of the
precious element in the midst Of re-
gion that is liable to be parched with
drought. Such a discovery has ust
been made at Moree, in the electoral
district Of Gwydir, about 800 miles
north Of Sydney. Water was struck at
a depth of 1870 feet and it rose az feet
in three hours. 1.-THE value Of the dis
covery," we are told, "cannot be over
estimated, as the country in the vicinity
has hitherto suffered terribly in dry
seasons"
The question arises whether, mas
much as the country is beginning to be
dotted with various points at which
similar discoveries have been made, it
would not be possible by systematic in
yestigations to determine approximately
the course of one, at least. of the sub
terranean riverS-that which is believed
to have its outfall near Portland-so
that boring operations might be con-
Quoted for the time to come in those
places only where there is a reasonable
prospect Of success.

The colorcd lunatics, as they are re-
moved this week from Richmond to the
new Central Asylum, near this city,
will be taken directly through town to
the yard Of the Mount Airy work
shops, on the Petersburg railroad,
whence they will be transferred in We

The Rev. j. X. Slatterly, the priest
in charge of the Catholic mission for the

to hear him.
The work Of deepening the large new
reservoir, so as to increase the city's
supply of water, which was undertaken
by a citizen of Richmond, was not COM
pleicd within the time specified in the
contract, and will not be finished for
some little time yet. The contractor
has laborcd under some disadvantages,
among which may be mentioned the
severe weather Of the winter.
There is no observance Of st. Patrlck's
day here. Though there is large and
influential Irish element in Petersburg,
the day in late years has not been OBJ
served as was the custom before and
directly after the war.
The young wheat is looking quite thin
in this section. The farmers say 1t has
been materially injured by the severe
weather of the winter. A favorable
season. however, will soon make the
fields green.
The planters have not for weeks past
had favorable weather for handling their
tobacco, and the result is that very few
packages have been received here for in
spection. Nearly all that comes in is
in the loose state.
Most Of the cotton raised in the Sec

A fire occurred IN the building Of
Blackwell & Motley, merchants, North
Danville, last night, in which part Of
the house occupied by Sam. Noble, shoe
maker, was seriously damaged and a
part used as an eating-house was
also greatly injured. The goods
Of Blackwell & Motley were much
damaged by water from the Dan
vile hose, which was connected
with a plug on this side and carried
across on the bridge. The buildings
and stock were insured in the Scottish
Union and National for 81, 900 each and
the stock also in the London and the Ian
cashire for LOO, and it is estimated
that the losses are covered. The Dan
vile fire company undoubtedly saved
the buildings and goods.
