Dry Weather.

Dry weather is becoming serious
matter. Rainfall over this section of the
state during the week has been too light
to be of much benefit. Bugs and worms
have assisted in destroying gardens, and
corn is curling from the heat. Pastures
are short, wells are giving out, and
treams are going dry. Tobacco is firing
and affected by worms. Tomatoes are
somewhat damaged by rot Grapes are
doing well, and if the rot does not become
general, will be good crop. The ground
is not in shape for for fall plowing.
Roads are dusty and stones working to
the top.

Senator voorhees, has introduced bill
to allow National banks to issue notes to
the par value of their Government bonds.
By this means about 100000 could be
added to our circulating medium. This
proposition has been frequently consid-
cred, and as there have never been any
valid objections urged against it, it will
in all probability become a law at once.

wood Park, n. j., was burned yester-
day morning. The 6-months-old daugh-
ter of Henry Alexander, the manager,
was thrown by its mother from the Sec

rescue the inmates of the building. The

child over the heads of the crowd, and
it fell upon the ground, and was picked
up dead.
The other persons in the building es-
capped with only their night clothes.

porters who received internal injuries,
in jumping from q second-story win

its furnishings, was valued at $50, 900.

JUDGE ASHTON was late at last Coun-
ty Court of Stafford. He alleged as his
reason that he stopped over in Alexan-
dria and that at two hotels they posi-
lively stated that they could not wake
him at four o'clock to catch the train
as they did not get up till six. We
have heard for long time that Alex
audria was dead asleep, but we thought
she had got one eye open at least and
that the other was quivering, and there
fore we are surprised to learn that she
still INDUCES in such late hours that
the stranger within her gates is not al
lowed to go forth in the early hours of
the morning. Fredericksburg can do
better than this, for many of her people
sit up all night and most of the city Of
ficials and many prominent gentlemen
are up at four, have coffee and settle
all the various gossip of the city by five
and are at their business by six. Wake
up earlier, neighbors. -Fredericksburg
Lance.
THE bonifaces in Alexandria were
doubtless afraid the Judge might catch
the grip by rising too early. Probably
the reason Fredericksburgers sit up all
night is due to practice acquired DUR
ing the war when shells interfered no
little with slumber in that locality.
At that time curfew rules prevailed in
Alexandra and lights had to be out by
10 o'clock; hence we acquired the
habit of retiring early and rising late.
