THE WEATHER.
bulletin For tho Week Ending Monday,
June 3.

LYNCHBuRG, June 6.-During toe past
seven days the temperature has aver.
aged about three degrees daily above
the normal for the season, while there
has been slightly less than the norm al
amount OF sunshine. The rainfall has
been in the nature OF local showers and
thunder storms, but all sec lions OF the
State have been more or less favored
with good rains The least amount OF
rainfall seems TO have been near Nor
folk, where there was only about one
fourt OF an inch, but throughout the
State the amount Of rainfall ranged
from about one fourth OF an inch to
three and half inches. Irwin, Gooch
land county, reports an excessively
heavy rainfall of % inches in about
an hour on the I'd instant, which caused
considerable damage by washing hill
side lands anc overfowing lands slong
creeks and small streams.
Cut worms are reported to be causing
considerable damage in Scott, Bedford,
Greene and Hano .er counties, while in
Page and Frederick counties they have
nearly disappeared. The conditions
have been generally very favorable for
replanting corn and tobacco, and the
greater portion of the tobacco plants
have been set out in the centra! and
Southern counties. In some sections
there has been slightly more rain than
was needed fer wheat, but no direct
damage has resulted from wet weather,
and al other crops have advanced
a'orAbly. Fruit prospects continue as
favorable as last week. Reports from
Fredericksburg show that winter oats
are heading out rather slowly. In
Prince George county the farmers are
getting ready to begin cutting wheat.
On the whole the prospects Of good
crops are very favorable, and the
weather conditions have been very
favorable.

The State Convention.

lNortolk Ledgcr.I
The RICHMOND DISPATCH takes the
same view that the Public Lcdger does
with regard to the time for holding the
State Convention to nominate candidates
for the State offices to be voted for al
the election next November.
During the spring the attention of the
people will be occupied with the naval
rendezvous in Hampton Roads, pre-.
pairing for display of the States re-
sources at Chicago, and in numerous en-
terprises looking to the material adj
vancement of the Commonwealth, and
as from six weeks to two months are
usually consumed in holding the pri-
mary meetings to choose delegates to the
convention. it would be much better to
wait until other necessary matters have
been attended to before entering upon
these primary contests. The people are
not, in our opinion, DESTROYS of devoting
unnecessary time to political campaign
when there are 80 many other matters
to be attended TO.

AFFAIRS IN MIDDLESEX.
Prosperity of Farmers---Truck'

prosperity OF aflhcrS--- rtlch-
ing CrOps---Nccd Il Railroad.
Correspondence of the Richmond Dspatch.l
SA1UDA, Va, February 11.-This
county seems to be more prosperous
than its neighborS. The farms are in
good order and great deal of hay Is
raised, and the prosperity OF the section
is in great measure dueto this fact. While
her neighbors import hay, Middlesex
has good deal for export.
The recent cold has emphasized the
need OF railroad in that portion OF
Tidewater which lies between the York
and Mattaponi rivers on the one side
and the Rappahannock on the other.
While the attention of Richmond is being
called to the Northern Neck, this sec
ton desires also to be heard. Last year
10, 900 bushels of seed peas were landed
on the Rappahannock. Most OF these
were planted IN Essex and Middlesex.
Two steamers day could not carry of
the crop. The crop has not been plant
cd yet, but the prospect is that a
much smaller acreage will be put in peas
this year than last year.
There is one canning establishment IN
this county and two in Essex.
Mr.. Isaac Diggs, of West Point. was
here Yesterday, and Mr.. Donovan of
Mathews. Mr.. Marquis Jones OF Glou-
cester. and Mr.. Robert W. Shultice of
Norfolk are here to-day. Senator j. n.
Stubs was here yesterday and has gone
to Newport News to-day.

VIRGINIA At THE FAIR.
Funds Coming In Encouraging
iy---An Appeal.

Secretary Morton, Of the Worlds
Fair Board. has Just returned from a
business trip to Allegheny and Bath
counties. He reports growing in-
terest in the great fair. The supervisors
Of the counties are taking hold of the
matter in response to the appeal from
Colonel Buiord and Major Sutherlin in
their official capacity, backed by the
Governor, and favorable response IS
expected from many counties.
The Virginia Hot-Springs Company,
of which Mr.. Decatur Axtell is presi-
dent, proposes to get up tine display
OF the several waters from the Hot.
Warm, and Healing Springs, in which
he will be Joined by W. NJ. McAllister,
Esq, with his magnesia lithia. There
will also be an exhibit OF minerals from
Bath county.
IMPROVEMENTS IN PROGRESS.
Captain Morton reports very extern
sive improvements as going on at the
Hot Springs. A force OF more than a
hundred hands are at work there on a
fine Queen Anne hotel, splendid
stone-and-brick bath-house, and num-
Der of handsome cottages. The bath
house will cost at least 300, 0)0, 1t is
said, and will be the most complete and
expensive structure OF the kind in this
country. There is nothing at Hot
Springs, Ark, Mr.. Morton says, that
can touch it.
The five mile $50, 900 boulevard drive
from the Hot to the Warm is through O
beautiful valley, which promises to build
up all the way and ere long to rival the
Arkansas Hot.
Captain Morton, on returning to his
Office, was encouraged to find funds
coming in from several sources-some
from the public schools. But one OF
the largest remittapces yet made from

THE POOR PIGS DIED.
THE PRICES OF MEAT ARE
THEREFORE, HIGH.
More than so Per. Cent. Ad-
vance Over Last Ycar---But-
ter and Eggs Cheaper.

It is almost an honor to DO hog
nowadays, or rather this corpulent AMI
NAL has suddenly awakened to the fact
that his presence in this Union is abso-
lutely necessary to human welfare. The
reason for this unexpected importance
of the swinish representative is the de-
crease in the porcine population OF the
United States. Last spring, when the
vernal zephyrs blew over the land and
made the fields green with their delicious
warmth, many poor mother was be-
reaved, and many sobbiDg pig wept
over the grave Of some departed shoat::
Wet weather followed the sunshine, and
sickness prevailed everywhere among
the little ones. Ere summer strobe IN
with it's fiery sun thousands and thou
sands-yes, millions-of piglets were laid
beneath the sod.
MANY POOR LITTLE PIGS DIED.
The heavy rains, coupled with the
imprudence Of the youngster porkers,
were too much for the watchful care OF
the maternal pigs, and ere autumn came
the affection was widespread. 40 con-
seouence the United States has now
awakened 70 the fact that there is a
shortage Of 5000 600 hogs this season,
and as this represents about 500, 900, 600
pounds of meat the loss can be readily
appreciated. Aside from the natural
sympathy which this state Of affairs ne
cessarily evokes, there is a still grayer
question menscing the public. The
shortage in pig meat unfortunately came
at time when stocks were at very low
point and what is worse, there is no re-
serve to draw from.
PORK MEAT Is EXCEEDINGLY HIGH.
As the demand exceeds the supply,
prices have necessarily taken Jump.
Everything in the swinish line from a
pig-tail to can Of lard is " up, and
what is worse, it will be long. long
time before our condition is bettered.
The following table, showing the differ
ence in prices existing this year. as COM
pared to 1892, briefly tells the story
