Weeping is a Relief.

Persons who weep say that tears
afford relief. Nothing is more per
fectly true, nothing more clear when
the facts are understood The relief
comes, not from the mere escape OF
tears, which is only symptom, but
from the cessation of the storm in the
nervous chain. If the storm is Gained
by soothing measures, as when we
soothe a child that is weeping from
fear, annoyance or injury We quiet the
nervous centres, upon which the effect
ceases. In children the soothing
method succeeds, and sometimes it
succeeds in adults, although in adults
the cessation of tears is more commonly
due to actual exhaustion following p
period of nervous activity.-New Y orls

A Large Fruit Farm.

One of the largest fruit farms this
side of the Rocky Mountains, accord
ing to recent bulletin of the West
Virginia Experimental Station, is TO
be found on the foothills of the Blue
Ridge in Jefferson County, Of that
State. In 1887 Becker Brothers set
out $4,000 peach trees, since which
time eight adjoining tracts have been
added, until the fruit farm comprises

have not stopped with peaches alone,
but they have large area in grapes,
ounces and cherries, besides American
and Japanese plums, apricots, Japan
persimmons, nectarine, English wal
nuts, Italian chestnuts and paper shell
almonds. -Chicago Herald.

Brightest Part Of NY Trim.

The New York fashion correspondent Of a
Southern paper gives out the following
A lady writes Is have read your letters
for long time, and have often envied you
the opportunity you enjoy of seeing the beau-
tiful things you describe. l used to think
when read of those charming dresses az
parasols and hats at Lord & Taylor's, that
theirs must be one of those stores where a
timid, nervous woman like myself, having but
few dollars to spare for seasons OUTFIT,
would be of so little account that she would
receive little attention but when you said.
in one of your letters a few months ago, that
goods of the same quality were really cheaper
there than elsewhere, because they sold more
goods IN their two stores than any other hrm
In New York and that because they sold more
they bought more, and consequently bought
cheaper, / determined, if ever went to New
York, 7 would go to Lord & Taylors.
That long-waited-for time came in the
early autumn, and l found myself standing
before that great entrance, with those won
derful windows at either side. / summoned
my courage and entered, as ] suppose tens OF
thousands of Just such tinid women as !
have done before. Ny fears were gone in ar
instant. The agreeable attention put me at
my ease at once, and l felt as much at home
as though l were in the little country store
where my people have traded for nearly {
quarter of 4 century.
And now, as l wear the pretty things ]
purchased, or see than every day and find
them all so satisfactory, l think of my visit
to this great store as the brightest part of my
trip to New York.

COUNTRY PRODUCE SToLEN.-Early
last night Mr.. +. w. Fairfax, of Fair
fax county, reached this city with
some country produce in the shape of
butter, eggs, chickens, &C., some of
which belonged to neighbor and
which was to have been offered for sale
in the market to-day. He placed the
produce in room in the restaurant Of
Mr.. Felix Clauss, in Market alley, and
later engaged in a game for drinks
with George Stearns, of this city. The
latter left the house later, and an hour
or so subsequently Mr.. Fairfax started
to take an inventory Of his stock and
found, to his dismay, that pair of
chickens andsome butter had beentakep.
Mr.. Fairfax went back to the bar room,
where he again found Stearns, and re-
ported his loss, and his remarks were
of such a nature as to alarm Stearns,
whom Mr.. Fairfax seemed to suspect of
having committed the robbery, and the
former suddenly took his departure.
Mr.. Fairfax notified the police of the
matter and Officer Travers started after
Stearns. The accused, when he found
the policeman on his track, ran, but
was soon overtaken and captured. At
noon to-day Stearns was brought before
Justice Thompson. He was represent
ed by J. r. Cation, esq, and the prose
cution by Mr.. Leonard Marbury, Com
monwealth's Attorney. No evidence to
show his guilt was given and the &C
cused was discharged

BEAUTIFUL WEATHER.-The mild
and pleasant weather to-day has SAVIOR
ed more of balmy May than that of the
last of December, and the streets and
stores have been thronged and will be
doubtless until late tonight by the
many preparing for the holidays. The
merchants have shown commendable
enterprise in bringing to this city large
stocks of choice holiday goods, and, as
was shown in this column a few weeks
ago, they have sold them as low as they
have been disposed of in other cities.
In fact, in numerous instance prices for
the same goods have been found lower
here. All day long the toot of the
small boys horn has been heard and
the shop windows where toys and 9TH
er Christmas articles are displayed
have been besieged by the younger
generation, many of whom have visit
fully gazed upon articles which are so
near and yet so far-separated only
from the covetous youngster by thin
plate of glass. Let us hope all may
enjoy themselves, and while, of course,
there are many things beyond the
reach of the majority, let gladness and
Joy animate every heart on the festive
Christmas occasion.

CHRIsTMAS.-Before another issue OF
the GAZETTE the great holiday Of the
christian year will have come and gone.
1t is right and proper then that some
notice be taken of ali event that holds
such prominence amongst the feasf
days of the calendar, wherever the
natal day of the Saviour is honored
and known of men. Since the birth OF
the Saviour each recurring year has
brought the same glad tidings of great
10y, and at no age of the world has the
day lost any of its signigcance.
1t is indeed time for joy. Coming
as it does at season of the year when
the harvests are all gathered in, and
when nature takes upon herself that
repose and rest that have been so well
earned by her bountiful gifts, man at
once responds to her example. 1t is
then q time that can be devoted for
the concerns of others. The day
claims sense of gratitude and opens
the hearts of all to help and aid these
who are in want, and are suffering
from any cause. 1t is the time for gifts
and charities. The sentiment of char
ity is born of the very day. How could
it be else, when the greatest gift that
was ever bestowed to the world has
consecrated that day and made it in'
deed holy. The ''glad tidings of great
JOY" are yet with US, and the expect
ancy of something out of the usual or
der of things, is still filing our minds.
For these reasons it is part of our
duty to make the day as pleas.
ant as it is possible, to do all
in our power to aid the distressed, and
to give, in that some want may be re-
lieved, or some pang of human suffer,
ing alleviated.
To our patrons we wish the fullest
enjoyment OF this happy season, and
upon each household in our land we
invoke the blessings of Divine Provi'
dence.

DEGENERATION" "A correspond
ence appeared in the GAZETTE short
time ago in which DIR. X. Johns of this
city declined 10 "remunerate" Mr.. Co.
wap, of Danville, H., who had written
to Rev. Dr. Packard, of the Theological
Seminary, offering to return, for con-
sideration a book which had been stolen
from the library of the late Bishop
Johns, of Virginia, during the war.
DR.. Johns has subsequently received q
duplicate, identical, word for word, of
the letter addressed, same date, to
Rev. DR.. Packard by Mr.. Cowap. This
copy he sent to Bishop Whittle of Vir-
GINA. The Bishop replied very curt
", "that he did not pay for stolen prop
ertv." 1t is not improbable that the II
linos gentleman has had his touching
