AIr. ]. IT. Hamilton. a wealthy farmer
and cattle grower Of R0ckbridge. was %
very disappointed man yesterday when
DC lost r. considerable amount of money
ON "a carload Of cattle he shipped 10
Richmond.
The truth IS. since the quarantine on
cattle was raised the market here has
been overrun This has been the case
for several days.
Mr.. Hamilton is a nevry business mar
aad ha did not let this loss bother him.
lie he'd to make his money back and
proceeded at once To- buy two CARLOADS
" cattle i'm the open market, ana VIII
shin them to ROckbridge.
This was not all that Mir. Hamilton dld.
Finding cattle selling at such low prices
he wired his friend, Colonel J. II. d.
Ross. Of Lexington. Colonel Ross bought
three carloads. Flveaar-loads of cattle
viii DE shipped from here 90 Rockbridge.
and the owners viii sell either at Balti-
mare or wait until the market here inn
proves.
FIR. Hamilton thinks that when the
Union Stock Yards arc completed Rich
mand will improve as a cattle market.
-"Richmond needs these yards and needs
them badly" said Mr.. Hamilton. 81 can

NAME HER RETIA.
An Infant with a Handsome Ward
robe Left at the Almshousc.

About 1880 O'Clock Saturday night,
one of the night watchmen nj me cry

the plaintive cries of am infant.
Upon investigation the Waterman dis

He gently lifted the basket and carried
the precious burden into the Office. where

In the basket was a note % s. bill ana

The child was made as comfortable as
Dossible and q wct-nurse procured, and
Ill will be cared for until called for.
I'm conversation with Dr. Trevilllan
Yesterday. the case came up. and the dee
ductiou was reached that the probability
was that if was not the intention or
leaving the infant mt the Almshouse at
all. but that the messenger. whose Duel-
ness il was TO dispose Of the little anl-
mate object had carried IT there through
q misapprchension.
This deduction was reached from inc
fact that the name OF q prominent nos
initial was written ON "a slip OF paper, and
"a sum Of money was also placed ln the
basket. evidently for incidental expenses.
1T may DE that he infant was nrst
