BUSINESS carried me to-day to the Capt.
toll, and while there / had occasion to go
into some of the cuddies (ire-traps had
better call them in which are, stored
books. papers. and other inhammable ma
terial In large quantities. making the
building the ready victim Of aspark which
may at any time be dropped or generated
by carrying necessary lights. either gas
or electric. into these holes whenever the
frequent inspection of their contents Is
made.
A FIRE thus started will most likely sweep
the entire Capitol out of existence, with
ell OF its invaluable stores of books, re-
cords, pictures, statuarv. &c.
A new building for the library and for
the general offices of the State is neces-
sity, both because OF the great danger
above referred to, which would be abso-
lutely irreparab!e. and because Of want OF
room in tho present building for the eff
cient condnct Of business.
Cannot you. through your influential
columns, press this matter successfully
upon the attention OF our lawmakers?
Respectfully, CITIZEN.

What is ScrOfuia

tits that ifnpurity in the blood. which, aceurnr-
iating in the glands OF the nesk. produces un-
slightly Jumps OF sveliings; wh-h causes painful.
running sores on the arms, legs, or feet; which
DEVELOPS ulcers in the eyes. ears or nose, often
causing blindness or deafness; which Is the origin
OF pimples, cancerous gTouths, or many other
manifestations usually sseribed to "humors"
IT more formidable enemy than consumption
or cancer alone, for scrofula combines the wofs:
possible features OF both. Being the most ancient.
Il Is the most general OF all diseases or affections,
for very few persons are entirely free from 1t.
How can 1t be cured? by taking Hoods Sarsa-
pariIla, which. by the cures it has accomplished.
often when other medicines have failed. has
proven itself to be potent and peculiar medicine
for this disease. For all affections OF the blood
Hoods sarsaparillai is unecuslled, and some OF the
cures II has effected are really wonderful Hyou
suffer from scrofuIa in any Of Its various forms,
be sure to give Hoods sarsaparilla a TRIAL.

VIRGINIA. Notes.

Mr. Linford Bechtel. living about five
miles south of Lexington. was found dead
ia bed Tuesday. He WAS prosperous far
mer aud much esteemed
Last Thursday night two houses Mt Clifton
Forge were broken into aud the oecuDauts
chloroformed, and Of course everything of
value was taken from them Suspicion rests
upon three unknown patent medicine ven
doris, who TOR several days previous 10 the
chioroforming had visited frequently these
houses. evidently FOR the purpose of famil-
iarlzlng themselves for the work of that
night Look out; they may give you call.
On last Thursday night about 10 O'clock
