1t was true, as stated lately in the
Dispatch, that Charles City county
had the honor of being the birthplace
of two Presidents of the United
States, but it was an error to say that
such honor belonged alone to that
county. Orange county was the
birthplace of James Madison and
Zachary Taylor, and Westmoreland
county of George Washington and
James Monroe. The distinction for
these three Virginia counties is
unique, and not likely to be paralleled
in the history Of the country, if it
lives to the age of Methuselah.-Rich-
mond Dispatch.
Governor O'Ferrall Monday sent in

priation this year be increased from
$50, 900 to SAG, 900; that for next year
from $4,000 to $4,000. There are
two hundred and fifty-three inmates
of the home.

Mr.. U. B. Quinby, Onancock,

of Sept. 9th, have to say that
some of my tenants and myself
have been using Orchilla Guano
on land for corn, 400 pounds to
the acre, for several years. and
that on an average, it has at
least doubled the crop of corn

this year, when the very severe
