The Richmond boats continue - put
in here. Though there is 30 much ice,
our harbor continues open.
There are more sleighs in town than
were ever here before. The slelghing is
very fine. Pork has become very high
and nearly ell provisions are apt TO take
a rise, as the town is largely supplied
from the surrounding country. Oysters
are scarce and the packers find il impos'
sible to get stock.

IRON-MINING IN CRAIG.
Advance in Price Has Stimula-
ted WOrlI---TcrribIe Ordeal.
Correspondence Of the Richmond Dispatch.l

Correspondence Of the Richmond Dispstch.l
NEWCASTLE, VA, January 13.-A re-
cent advance of twenty cents per
ton in the price of iron ore OF this
region has TO some extent stimulated the
work Of getting it out
Mr.. Teaford, of Oriskanny, has a force
Of hands sufficiently large enough TO
enable him to send out nearly fifty car.
loads per month from that point. and is
forging ahead in all sorts OF weather.
The McClintic Mines. five miles above
Oriskanny, were opened two weeks ago
by Messrs. W. Charlton, W. Reid, j.
Hannah, p. King, and G. Lennon, OF
this county.
And even from this place an occasional
carload goes out OF ore dug in the i'm
mediate vicinity. 4 well which was re-
Gently dug in Craig City had TO be aban-
doned because an ore-beG which seemed
bottomless was reached about twenty
feet below the surface.
al the above ore is sent to distant fur
naces-Low Moor, Goshen, Roanoke, DC.
A 4-YEAB-oLD's PERIL.
An accident which came near proving
fatal recently occurred on Sinking Creek
Of this county, and ought to be- re
corded, if for no other reason, to show
that death sometimes lurks in an ordi-
nary wood-pile \ log from this limo
cent affair rolled upon a 4-year-old son
of Mr.. Watson Hipes. The log weighed
at least 400 pounds and rested upon the
little fellows back. Ho did not scream
or speak, fox he was UNCONSCIOUS, and 81
great was the pressure that MS eyes and
tongue protruded. Two children who
had been playing with him wasted some
precious moments in attempting TO lift
the log. More minutes were lost
in their attempt to explain to the
mother in the house what had
occurred. She also lost time in frantic
efforts TO remove the log. A neighbor
lived one quarter Of a mile away, and in
answer 10 her screams ran to help, but
being a sufferer from heart-disease had
to sit down and rest before he reached
the scene. so that probably half an hour
! had passed before the child was relieved.
A doctor was summoned and pro-
nounced the case hopeless. but, strange
to say, the child recovered and is now
as wei as ever.
All our creeks arc Sold. Heavy
wagon-loads can cross them almost any
where. Such a time has not been
known for years

PREVIOUS COLD WEATHER
Country Produce, Wood, and
Coal Observation-Disclosures.

Correspondence Of the Richmond Dispatch.l
WYrHEvuLE, Va, January II. Those
who keep a record OF such things say
that two or three times in the last ten
years we have had colder weather than
that of the last week and that in Janu-
airy, 1876, the thermometer registered lG
degrees below zero and stayed in that
neighborhood for about three days.
But certain it is that we seldom have
whole month Of severe cold weather as
we will have had in few more days, it
having been very cold since about the
10Th of December.
Butter, eggs, fowls. and all sorts Of coun-
try produce are very scarce as the back
country wagons have stopped coming In
since the severe weather Wood is also
scarce and coal is in great demand The
poor, who are not numerous about
Wytheyille, are suffering for fuel and
supplies, and relief committee has been
organized to look after them.

DIAMOND BUCKLES.

Evening slippers, not worn for dancing

mond buckles. the idea being n revival
of an eIghteenth-century mode. The
rosetto Of tan now worn upon the instep
is also occasionally held in place by a
small diamond star.
Other devices in iewelry languish.
While, in fulleyening dress, women who
possess them often wear necklaces and all
the other styles Of ornaments invented to
adorn the body, it is noticeable that op-
portunities for such exhibition are not
sought and that much-bejewelled women
are not considered to possess the most
refined taste.

REVOLUTIONARY RELICS.
DIR. Gilmcr's Medical Account
with Jeners0n---Old Chairs.

lCorrespondcnce Of the Richmond Dspatch.l
CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA, January IL
Mr.. Frank Gilmer, Commonwealth 3
Attorney for the city, has the Old ac-
count-book OF his grandfather, Ir.
George Gilmcr, of Pen Park, tins coun-
". dating from December II, 1910. In
il are several charges against Thomas
Jefferson and Mrs. Jefferson for medi-
cal attendance and medicine. The
charges range from u.s., 81 to Is. Cd. In
several places in the old book the charges
against Mr.. jefferson are not written
down, and it is supposed tho Sage of
Monticello" got the visits free. The
book is in good state Of preservation
and the writing very leglble.
OLD CHAIRS.
Mr.. Gilmer also has a dozen very old
fashioned chairs, winch were made over
"a hundred years ago 10y his great grand
father, Captain Christopher Hudson. OF
Revolutionary fame. They are made Of
cherry which was cut from Mt Air
farm, on the Hardware river, in this
county. No nails are used in their con-
struction, and to ali appearances they are
as solid aud substantial to-day as when
made. The bottoms are stuffed with
hair, said to have been cut from the tails
OF the old gentleman horses and cows.
The chairs were made for the daughter
of Captain Hudson and were presented
to her rs bridal gift.
This gentleman also has the sword
used by his same kinsman IN the War OF
1872, which was presented to him by
Henry st. George Harris, when Captain
Hudson left Albemarle for the seat OF
war.
