A Northern OPINION.

N HUWeIH VpIHoU.
The following is from the Journalist,
a paper published in New York :
THE South is a field for new men
with new ideas, and new energy.
Some pretty lively boomers have al
ready drifted in that direction, but
there is room for more. The man
who goes South and grows up with
the country has far better climate
and as great an opportunity as in the
West. He has another advantage
he is not going to new country. He
will find men financially solid; men
of ability and culture men who make
warm friends and generous rivals.
He will find the climate delightful,
living very cheap, and business Of all
kinds on the boom. He will be among
people, who, if he is gentleman, he
will find to be courteous, hospitable
and appreciative beyond anything he
ever experienced in the North. With
its natural advantages, it will one day,
and that before long, become one OF
the richest and most prosperous sec
tions of the United States. Those
who 90 early and avoid the rush will
be the first to share in the prosper

Keep Your Eye Peeled.


Burglars are at work not far from
this neighborhood, and it will be well
to sleep with one eye open. One
night last week while John Nichols,
of Point OF Rocks, was asleep in his
saloon two masked men broke open
the door, covering him with their re-
yolvers. The robbers demanded his
pantaloons, which Nichols handed
them, at the same time removing
from the pockets the key to an adj
Joining room, where he had $500 IN
money. The men unsuccesSfully
searched for money or valuabIes,
after which they compelled Nichols
to walk out on the railroad track,
near by. while they boarded passing
freight train and escaped. Earlier in
the night a store in Leesburg had
been burglarized, Friday night the
safe of j. S. w. Jarboe, of Frederick,
was broken open and robbed Of $500,
and Sunday night Wenner's saloon
near Brunswick was also robbed.
Burglars also made an attempt to
blow open the safe of William Phillips
Sons at Charlestown Saturday night
week.
Crooks also visited Front Royal last
Friday night and broke into two
places and blew open safes, though
they got little money for their trouble.

Rcks,s R.ather Predictions for June.


The first and second of June will be
reactionary storm days. From the
9th to 9th will be a very active storm
period with Mercury on the 18th and
Venus on the 18th, combined with
solstice period, to prolong and excite
the disturbances. The 18th and 14th
being reaction days, and moons first
quarter on the 14th, look for unset
tied weather into the next period,
nth. 18th, 18th and goth. During and
about these days, very hard storms
are almost certain, and at their close
more rain will have fallen than can
be hoped for during the rest of the
summer. Great electrical displays Will
be natural, with heavy hail in divers
places. These disturbances Will all
feel the presence OF Venus, and Will
be renewed, with decreasing energy,
about the 25th and Goth, and at the
close of the month, the 30th being the
center of the next period.

Sheep Raisinq IN Virginia.


Mr.. c.. &. Eddy, vice-president of
the Norfolk and Western Railroad
Company, recently published a letter
urging the Virginia farmers to engage
extensively in sheep raising, as prom
Using large pecuniary returns. Mr..
Eddy also submitted letters from
large sheep raisers in the West, in
which they took the ground that the
climate and soil Of Virginia are es-
pecially adapted to successful sheep
raising. Mr.. Eddy's letter has elected
an acknowledgement from Lieut.
Gov. j. Hoge Tyler, in which he says
the farmers of Virginia are to be con
graduated in having a line of railroad
with an official displaying the liberal
and encouraging spirit toward their
calling evinced by Mr.. Eddy, and ex-
pressing the belief that under such
policy there will be advancement in
the agricultural as well as all other
industries in the State, thus making a
symmetrical development, agricul-
ture keeping pace with manufacture.
