 The first cargo of Virginia oyster plants of the season has just been discharged. They were for Futile and Parnalse. The stock was loaded in James river and they are con- sidered superior plants. 0. s. Robinson is out in Virginia to charter vessel to bring plants, which are expected to arrive next week. It is expected that large amount of plants will be imported and laid down on the "beach" beds down this harbor. This stock comes principally from the Rappahan- mock, James and Potomac rivers. These oysters have been much higher priced in recent years, the constant drain upon the Virginia and Maryland oyster beds having tended to make scarcity. The beds have creased cost of these oysters there is prospect that more of them will be used here this spring than usual. The failure of tho native set for two years has rendered this stock very scarce and to make good the deficiency Virginia plants will be relied upon. The plants are put down on the shallow beds near the head of the "Beach" and allowed to remain until about the first of September, at which time the plants have doubled in size. They are then used along until Thanksgiving, or until cold weather, when they are all removed to prevent freezing, many of them being ex- posed at low tide. The late summer trade witnesses large demand for this trade be- cause the southern dealers cannot ship until later. This has been the case for the past few summers or during the month of August. Dealers, however, do not like to take up the stock in August when the oys- ters are growing so rapidly, but are induced to market the stock for the increased price that Is paid. These plants thrive very well in these waters and make excellent stock for early marketing.

 from jail sentence and will undoubtedly in
 future give Fair Haven the go by should they
 journey through the state. It should be said

 as men grow. He said he had journeysd from Pennsylvania and was looking for work.
 Both admitted having asked for food, but

 men got out. But it was a close call. l A. H. Cargill. tho joiner, las been en- | gagged the past six weeks on the steamer City
