 A sensation was caused in police circles here to-day by the disco,- cry that one of the prisoners in the city jail, who was attired as a man, was a woman. Tue name of the pris ,ncr is Henrietta HiX. Her husband deserted her in Boston a few months ago. Learning that he had come to Richmond, the wife douned male attire and shipped on board of a vessel at Boston as a cook about twelve weeks ago. Up on reaching this city Mrs. Hix dis covered that her husband had been arrested and committed to jail for robbery. Determined to gain ac. cess to him and share his prison cell, the woman stole a small amount of money. She was ar- rested, and without arouslug the suspicious of the authorities as to her sex she was placed in the same cell with Ilix. The ruse was dis covered to-day and the husband and wife were placed in separate cells. lIix confirms the wOman's story and says they were married in Boston about two years ago. It is probable that Mrs. lIix will be pardoned by the governor. She is young and good looking.-Rich. mond (Na.) Dispatch.

Preparations for Fall Wheat.

Some of the exchanges have been emphasizing the importance of thorough preparation for fall wheat seeding, and discussing the essential joints to be observed. A thorough pulvetization of the soil is very properly advocated, as much of the seed will fail to germinate in lunpy and coarse soil, and eScl considerable DOT ton of that which succeeds in making its appearance will be un- able to find plant food in the prop. CT condition for assimilation. If in fine particles, the necessary ele- ments will be readily taken up by the young rOotlets, and moisture will be readily secured.
 To make sure Of putting the soil in good condition, blow early and to good depth and make the sul- face even as possible. It is vely important that the ground be free from weeds and clear of trash, and if these are well turned under at tire early blowing, they will decom- posed, furnishing fertilizer in themselves. Stir the surface ire quently 10 prevent any new gr owth of weeds, and to keep it well pull verized. The field must not be infested with insect eggs; if insects were in last seasons harvest, do not think of sowing the same ground to wheat this year. It is the safest way to follow some other crop of the same season. Tie treatment prescribed for wheat stubble where insects have operat- ed, is tr blow it soon after harvest and then replow it two or three times before winter, and SOW oats or rye on it in spring, or rye and orchard grass. EXterminate the pest if possible, and as soon as possible, aud keep the wheat away from land having the slightest trace of eggs or larvae.-Tribunc and Farmer.
