 ness men of New Haven regard the attack that has been made upon the JOURNAL AND COURIER as unjust. It certainly does begin to look if they did. Read the list of
 names printed on the second page.
 Governor Lee, of Virginia, has, in accord
 ance with request of the general assembly, issued proclamation asking the taxpayers
 of the State not to use coupons in payment
 of taxes, as it would be cooperating "with
 the public creditors," who ought to be :sre-
 buked" for any attempt to compel by law
 the State of Virginia to cancel in part its
 legal obligations. In other words the State
 Of Virginia repudiates it's debts.
 The business of theDelaware Fruit exchange
 during the past year amounted to $75, ST. %. The exchange came through this year
 without debt and has balance of S167 in
 the treasury. The peaches sold by the
 exchange averaged four cents per basket
 above those sold outside. Peaches were hauled
 to Wyoming for long distances, some from
 Maryland. They travelled all night in order to get their peaches there in the morning. On one day there was string of wagons
 nearly mile long in one direction, besides what was coming from other directions. In
 compliance with requests from all along the
 railroad in this State branch offices will be established for the benefit of the different
 sections. The main office will remain at Wyoming, and all the peaches will be sold there. Those from the branch stations will be sold by telegraph in carload lots.
 An interesting experiment in agriculture is about to be tried on the Duke of Port lands Nottinghamshire estates in England His Grace has let farm of 4S0 acres at Gringley Carr to company of six agricul-
 tural laborers. They allowedNto take the farm as it stands without paying valuation or tenant right. The duke also finds them stock, implements, horses, etc., charging them low rate of interest on the whole. In response to applications from large bodies of agricultural laborers, artisans, and others in south Northam ptonshire, the Duke of Graf ton has intimated his willingness to take steps to provide allotments and small hold ings. Those who require allotments up to
 half will have them immediately, and those who wish for small holdings up to three acres will obtain them as soon as ar
 engagements can be made. Those who have l applied for still larger holdings must await further consideration of the matter.
 A writer in the Medical and Surgical Jour nal discusses the experiments of M Pasteur
 as they have thus far developed his theory of 1 inoculation as prevention of hydrophobia. The conclusion at which the writer arrives is | that nothing has yet been proved, and that | time is the most important factor in,the elu- | cidation of a subject which still lacks all scientific demonstration. It is known that, l up to March 1, the number of persons inocu-
 lated by NJ. Pasteur was $50, of whom only
 one, at that date, had died of the disease.
 But in some cases it has been observed that
 the animals by which the patients were bit | ten were not rabid while in no instance is it certain that the dog was really mad; and | against this must be set the fact, derived | from long observation, that..only AT per cent.
 Of those bitten by undoubtedly rabid dogs
