Il Keformatory Institution for Boy
Criminals.

The Prison Association Of Virginia has
secured an exceptionally excellent location
for the establishment of Reformatory
Institution for boy criminals, says the
Southern Churchman of Richmond. It
consists of some ninety-odd acres of land.
located at Laurel Station on the Richmond,
Fredericksburg and Potomac Railroad,
and is in every way admirably suited to the
purpose. 1t was bought at a very moGer-
ate price, and is certain to increase in value
rapidly.
To pay for this land, put upon 1t suitable
buildings, and furnish the same properly,
will require the sum of $4,000. 1t will be
the aim of the Association to make this es-
Enlistment, once in successful operation,
as nearly as possible se.f-supporting, and
it is hoped that with proper management
Of the land, the labor of the boys-supple-
mented by membership fees and the COM
pensation paid by the State for support
of criminals result may be substanti-
ally accomplished.
Viewed simply upon the narrow basis of
economy, aside from the higher considera-
ton of Christian responsibility and duty,
it would be good investment.

Gold and Silver near Goshen.

A correspondent of the INDICATOR,
v-ilc was born in Bath county and now re-
s155g at Frankfort, KY, in speaking of the
mineral wealth surrounding Goshen, writes:
"I iecollect when [ was a child, that my
father had a tumbler on the mantle-piece of
our home, which contained a quantity of
gold nuggets, about the size OF pea. They
werepicked up from what he called the Gold
Spring, near Goshen,' and were put in the
tumbler for the inspection of his friends,
who carried them away, one by one, until
they were all gone. 1t is also stated that a
MI. Chalmers, one of the pioneers of that
section, discovered silver mine and mold
ed enough coins from it to make himself
and family independent Of work. Long
before his death he told his relatives that
he would show them where the valuable
deposit was, but he died suddenly, and Ut
one ever knew where the mine was located.
There is no doubt that some of the golG
nuggets and silver molds can he found
to-day among the old people residing neal

An Illustrated Trade Edition.

We will soon issue an illustrated eight
page trade edition of the VINDICAToR,
giving description of our business houses,
professional firms, and manufacturing
establishments. In addition, the attrac-
tions and advantages of the city will be
fully written up and faithfully presented

trated with cuts of some of our institu-
lions of learning, public buildings, leading
business houses, and manufacturing
plants.
Not less than 1000 copies of this edition
will be placed in new hands and where they
will do the most good. Many copies will
be mailed to the manufacturing centers
where portrayal of our advantages will
be likely to attract to the city those engagg-
ed in manufacturing. No better medium
for advancing the interests of the city and
advertising it's manufacturing and ner-
camille interests could be suggested.
In this work, we will be assisted by
Messrs. Collins and Matthews, who will
call upon our leading men in behalf of the
enterprise. We think the publication will

Law for Livery Stables.

A decision of practical interest to livery
stable men as well as to persons who hire
teams, has just been rendered by Judge
Dykman, of the Supreme Court of New
York, General term, in the Second Depart
ment. The decision was brought about by
the facts developed below, says the New
York Herald, which gives the following
summary of the case:
A man hired horse and buggy OF a livery
stable keeper Before doing so he asked if the
horse was ''safe and all right" and was told
would be careful there would be no danger"
During the drive the horse suddenly turned
round, upset the wagon and injured the driver:
The man sued for damages, and on the trial
it appeared that turning round was vicious
habit of the horse. A verdict, however, was
rendered in favor OF the livery stable keeper.
The General Term sets this aside. 1t holds
that as the livery stable keeper did not dis
liable for any injury resulting therefrOm.
Judge Dykman thus lays down the law on
the subject =
When the defendant hired this horse to the
plaintiff the law cast upon him the duty and
obligation to give the plaintiff horse that
was manageable and safe
The keeper of livery stable engaged in the
business of letting carriages and horses OF
hire is bound to furnish a custOn1ef vita a
carriage and horse reasonably strong safe and
secure for the purposes of the journey.
Plaintiff could only infer from the Language
used to him that the horse was little Tightly
OF might shy, but that if he used proper care
and caution in the use of the animal and held
taut rein ON it there was no danger.
He should have been informed of the par
ticularly dangerous habit of the horse.
This view of the law is SO clearly sound
that the only wonder is that the trial court
could rule otherwise.

A Pleasant Episode.

Before his departure for Europe the Office
of Mayor Ellyson, at Richmond, last Thurs
day, was crowded with persons wishing to
bid him and his dear ones pleasant jour.
ney and a safe return. The heads of the
city department presented his Honor with
appropriate resolutions, accompanied with
handsome floral tribute for Mrs. Elyson
and Miss Mamie E]lyson. The Richmond
State Of Thursday, in noticing the event,
says:
SIN making the presentation, Col. w. E. Cut
shaw was very felicitous, and his well-timed
remarks met with willing response from all
present. Mayor EllysOn was in happy
mood, and his reply was one of those
model little er-tcmp0re efforts which have
given him well-wOn reputation as one OF
our best off hand speakers. The entire cpl
sode was pleasant one, and will be food fol
pleasant memories, not only mid journeyine
by land and sea, but in all coming years.
And in speaking OF the popularity of Mr.
Ellyson, that paper adds
"Both as citizen and an official Richmond
has no more deseryedly popular citizen, and
none who even for short space Of time will
be more missed, or who will be more warmly
welcomed when he shall have sailed the seas
over and come back to home, sweet home"

the following complimentary notice of our
popular citizen: ''Mr. E. M. Gushing OF

smiling and prevented any loss Of interest
which the extreme heat Of the day would

cut off, and burden Of grief laid upon the
hearts of loving friends, that the hand of
time will be slow to lift.

The Wheat Harvest.

USEFUL HINTS TO FARMERS-HOW TO
HARVEST TO BEST ADVANTAGE.
Under this head, the Baltimore Journal
of Commerce Of last week, contains the
following useful hints to farmers:
Many, especially those inexperienced in
farming cut too early. "Haste makes waste. :"
The berry should be out OF the milk and into
the dough state when cut. Ii cut when in the
and it weighs much less. There is heavy
loss both ways Better cut over-ripe than too
green. Our self-binders especially the latter
makes, are so perfect that harvesting is light
work to what it was few years ago. Gut,
then in the dough state. Have the machine
to bind the sheaves tightly in the middle, and
let the grain be we'll shocked.
On many farms shocking is done very care
lessly, Just punched, and not capped. Let a
heavy storm set in and the grain is wet through
and through. and it is almost impossible to
dry the sheaves out properly afterwards. The
wheat will remain damp underneath the
bands, and when packed away in the barn, OF
stacked, it will give musty smell! to the
wheat This smell is hard to get rid of, and
it depreciates the wheat from cents to 10
cents per bushel.
draw the heads together, and then cap with
two sheavess. To shock properly requires two Y
| is cut
| AS soon as the wheat is cutand shocked, the
first cut should be hauled into the barn and
packed away If cut green, this cannot be
| DONE but if cut Z the dough state it can be.
Have the barn swept clean, and pack the
wheat all together in regular, even layers
over the entire NOW. This should be done on
| hands and knees OF else it will not be done
properly. If there is a heavy dew or slight
rain on the wheat, it should not be touched
until properly dry. Wheat should by all
means be put under cover, as few can stack
properly If wheat has to be stacked, it
would pay to buy old canvas and cover each
| top of stack, letting the canvas reach we'll
down Oh each side OF stack and be properly
secured so as not to blow off,.
Wheat, after packing, goes through sweat,
and it usually requires from four to SIX weeks:
If threshed out when undergoing this sweat
it will thresh tough, and it will be damp. Ii
wheat has to be threshed early it is best to
thresh from the shock, OF as soon as stacked.
MANY of our lower county farmers lose heav-
ily by threshing too early and shipping to
market. The wheat is shipped in bulk, and
it arrives in Baltimore out of confederation
damp and sometimes heated. The extra ex-
pense of handling, cooling and getting this
wheat in condition to sell eats up-and
sometimes more than that-the farmers
profit.
Harvest in season; secure it when dry; pack
it away in barn; let it go through the sweat
in the straw, and then thresh clean it nicely,
and put it on the market in tirst-class order,
and the highest market price can be had.
Insure your crop and barn; it will only cost
few dollars to dol
