RICHMOND CORRESPONDENTS.

Mr. Editor:-Knowing many of the good
people of Augusta and having spent some
time in Richmond during the past month,
the writer has been pleased to note the eff
cheney of your Delegates in the Legislature of
Virginia. The Bill offered by Mr.. Koiner of
Augusta, which passed the House almost
unanimously, and which was only lost in the
Senate by seven votes-I mean the Bill re-
garding the appointment of female physi-
clans in the Asylums of the State-has excit-
ed more widespread interest among the people
of the State than any other heretofore intro
duced this session.
Mr.. Koiner has displayed a great deal of
energy and ability in advocating this bill, and
we would say to him not to be discouraged at
its temporary defeat; it is right, and will pre-
vail. The people are with him, and public
sentiment has crystallized in. its favor.
Mr.. Koiner has also introduced another very
important measure which will be of great
benefit to farmers throughout the State. 1t is
bill to amend the law in regard to the inspec-
ton and control of the sale of fertilizers, and
appropriating the revenues arising from said
tax to the control of the State Board of Agfi-
culture for the benefit of the farmers of the
State 1t will enable farmers to have their
soil analysed, and thereby ascertain what
particular fertilizer is best adapted to their
land without cost to the farmer Another
very great advantage over the old law is, that
it equalizes the tax by making it low tax,
which will be borne proportionately by large
and small manufacturers, as each will only
pay on the number of TONS
Still another great advantage of the bill
consists in the fact that whereas the money
acquired by the tax on fertilizers, under the
old law, was turned over by the State Board
of Agriculture to the General Fund, under
Mr.. Koiner's bill it will be turned over to the
State Board for the direct benefit of the farm
ers themselves. Of course the farmers pay
this tax on fertilizers and should have the
benefit of it.
The Kent bill has not yet been reported
from the Committee, but vote will be taken
on it in the Committee Thursday.
Yours,
Staunton spectator. [volume] (Staunton, Va.) 1849-1896, 1892-02-10

running the horse into the fence As she
started again the horse bolted again and con-

to the reins but had to walk home, leading
her horse through the mud for nearly three
miles, The horse showed so much determine
ton not to be ridden that Miss Weaver very
sensibly gave him up as bad job, after the
secoud attempt. Had she not been the excel
lent rider she is she might have heen serious

We most cordially sympathize with our res
pected con frere of the Spirit Of the Valley in
his tribulations consequent on an attack OF
La Grippe, for we were similarly affected at the
same time and we can appreciate the truth as
well as the wit of the Irishman's remark who,
after having the Grippe, said, ''He did not feel
well for three weeks after he was we'll" The
trouble about that disease is, that you don't
know when you are WELL and you are liable
when facilitating yourself on your absolute
recovery, to find that, like the relapsed sinner,
your "latter state is worse than the first"

City ExtenSion.

What has become of the project to extend
the city limits? The Chamber of Commerce
referred that matter to the City Council. Has
the Council buried it in the tomb of the
Capulets? What has cooled the zeal of some
of those who, few years ago, were so anx-
ious and worked so hard in favor of it then?
What caused this "change to come over the
spirit of their dreams?" 1t seems now that if
the extenson is ever made it must be done by
those outside of the present limits of the City

MIDDLEB BROOK.

There is more sickness now in this vicinity
than has been for a long time. Mrs. Hartman
Rosen and her sister, Miss Annie Fauver, and
her mother, Mrs Lou Fauver, are all very i'll
at this writing. Mrs. D. M. Smith and her son
and daughter are all three bedfast, and are
quite ill and number of others are visited by
the physicians.

for Thursday, February 18th, and will proba-

ture works. He advertises all his personal
property, tools, &c. He has been a resident of
this place 40 years next Spring, and is now
20 years old. He leaves two sons and three
daughters behind him.
