1t has been rumored for some time that
the Old Dominion Steamship Company
would run a steamer between Cape Charles
and Norfolk to connect with the New York
boats at the latter point, and now It'll stated
that all arrangements between the company
and the Hon William L. Scott, who owns
the wharf property at the cape, have been
completed and satisfactory contract to each
party agreed to, and that the boats will com
mence running to that point not later than
the FIRST Of May. This is one Of the results
Of the rupture between the Hon. William /.
Scott and the management ofthe New York
philadelphia and Norfolk railroad. Another
result is the fact that the two fsh-packing
houses situated on the wharf Of the railroad
company, contrary to the contract with Mr..
Scott have been ordered to be removed at
once. It would seem by what has taken
place within the last few days that Mr.. Scott
intends to force his contract with the rail
road company to the letter and not allow
any further deviations. What has been the
real cause of the rupture is not fully known,
but that there is now bitter feeling is a GER
tainty. Mr.. Scott entered suit in the Circuit
Court Of northampton county in three sep
arate cases this week for damages, one OF
which was for Withdrawing an oyster train
without notice causing him to lose several
thousand dollars.-Baltimoye .SRR.

a 6rst-class mechanic, gave satisfaction, until
one day the foreman CAME along with writ

done, Our Sussex mechanic looked at the
paper, but could make nothing out of 1t.

BOiIs and CarbunCIes,

which defy ordinary treatment, yield to
Ayers Sarsaparilla after comparative
ly brief trial.
Mr.. c. X. Murray, OF Charlottesville,
Va, writes that for years he was al
fiicted with boils which caused him
much suffering. These were succeeded
by carbuncles, of which he had several
at one time. He then began the use OF
AYERS Sarsaparilla, and after taking
three bottles, the carbuncles disap-
peared, and for six years he-has not had
even pimple.
That insidious disease, ScrOfula, is
the fruitful cause of innumerable conf
plants, Consumption being only one OF
many equally fatal. Eruptions, ulcers
sore eyes, glandular swellings, weak
and wasted muscles, capriciOus appe-
tite, and the like, are pretty sure indi-
cations of a scrofulOus taint in the
system. Many otherwise beautiful faces
are disfgured by pimples, eruptions'
and unsightly blotches, which arise
from impure blood, showing the need OF
Ayers Sarsaparilla to remedy the evil.
All sufferers from blood disorders
should give Ayers Sarsaparilla a fair
trial, avoiding all powders, ointments,
and washes, and especially cheap and
worthless compounds, which not only
fail to effect a cure, but more frequently
aggravate and confirm the diseases they
are fraudulently advertised 70 remedy
