City ExrensIon.

Messrs. Joseph A. Glasgow and J. N McFar-

posing, and A.C. Braxton favoring the exte n
sion of the city limits, had bearing before
the Committee on counties, cities and towns
of the Legislature last Saturday. Mr.. Braxton
proposed and presenteda substitute bill, which
gives both the persons outside and inside of
the city the right to vote on the question. This
substitute the Committee reported favorably.
In this connection we wish to remark that
we can see no good reason why the people
outside of Staunton want to remain out, nor
why the people inside want them in, except
that it sounds better to have town or city
of twelve thousand, than one of eight But
the benefits are greatly in favor of the admit
ted portion. A number of suburban people
are sending their children to our most excel
lent free school, paying about S3.0 per month
or $27 90 for the session. With two or three
children no man of moderate means ought
to think of staying out This is only little
bit of it. When we consider the improved
streets and sidewalks, and water privileges. and
we may add fire department and police pro
lection. we can hardly imagine an objection,
that ought to weigh against them. 1t Is the
citizens of Staunton, who ought to object, as
their taxes are the ones to be increased

"Debtors' Roll Of Honor"

1t affords US pleasure to announce tina
quite number of those indebted to the
SPECTATOR have entitled themselves to have
their names on the debtors Roll of Honor"
Some have so far failed to do so, and as we
wish as many as possible to do so, we have
concluded to extend the time for settlement to
March LIST. Those who will neither pay in
cash nor settle by note, will not pay a debt,
if they can avoid it, and their names will be
found on the roll of dishonor. We do not
wish them to be so enrolled, and they will
have no one to blame but themselves, if they
shall be so enrolled. 1t is an easy matter to
settle by note, and an honest man will not
hesitate to do so.

Good Roads.

taken up the subject of good roads. and last
week held large and enthusiastic meeting at

pull about ten bales of hay to Staunton, and
then wellnigh pulls them to death; when we
cannot get western or northern hamburger
to look at farm, if he has to go axle deep in
mud to see it; when the roads sometimes be-
come impossible for vehicles, and our products
rot on our hands, or the price depreciates be-
fore we can reach the market, is it not high
time something was done? We again call at
tention to the fact that farms along the Valley
Turnpike sell for nearly double the price re-
ceiYed in any other part of the county.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.

The Supreme Court of Appeals has rendered
an opinion, the result of which will make a
change necessary in the charter of many cities
and towns in the State The case decided was
that of Violet against the City Council OF
Alexandria and involved the question of de-
cision upon the property of Violett's heirs, for
alleged benefits from certain improvements
made upon street upon which property of
the Violet estate abutted.
In this case the city had done certain work
without having given the property owners no
tice and an opportunity to be heard.
This, the Supreme Court of Virginia holds is
not allowable unless the charter of the city
expressly states that the assessment can be so
made. The decree of the lower case in favor
of the city is therefore reversed.

COMMERCIAL AND FINANCIAL


The Cincinnati P,ree Current of February
18th says
! No radical change in weather conditions has
occurred during the past week in the agricul-
tlral regions of the West. There has been
something of freezing, but not severely. There
has been some snow, but this mostly disap-
peared soon after falling. AS result there
has been continued unfavorable condition of
wagon roads and restricted interior move
ment of produce, which may be expected to
prevail until roads become more settled or
frozen, and the winter wheat crop is mostly
bare of snow protection. and therefore expos
ed to possible injury from hard freezing.
The late correspondence from winter wheat
localities discloses little change in general
tenor. Taken as a whole it suggests a some
what more cheerful view of the situation In
some instances. as heretofore, there is occasion
for complaint of positive injury from freezing
and thawing conditions. But the possibilities
of the crop remain in fair position-not fat
tering, to be sure, but far from disparaging
The weeks total receipts of wheat at prima-
ry markets were of fair volume, and exceed
ed in quantity any corresponding week in
ten years prior to this season. This, however,
is understood to not illustrate the marketings
by farmers so much as the transfer of grain
from the interior warehouses to the centers.
The general position of wheat is such as to
encourage expectation of well sustained mar
kets, but without elements calculated to bring
about striking advance in the near future.
There has been some reaction the past week
from the previous advance.
The effect of bad condition of wagon roads
is reflected in the reduced arrivals of corn at
primary markets, but this has had little effect
on values, for the shipping demand has not
been urgent. The week closes with a frac- |
tional reduction in prices at Chicago compar- !
ed with week ago. With return of favor
able condition of roads the movement of corn |
and oats may be expected to enlarge decided
ly. -
May wheat at Chicago closed &c below
the highest point of the week. &c above
the lowest point and 13c lower than a week

Corn at Chicago for May closed sc
below the highest point of the week, and at
the lowest point, and &c lower than week

Wheat receipts at primary markets were
