on the local trade was quite noticeable.

scarcely points variation during the

of the scalping order and small even ut

port demand checked any pressure to
sell, while on the other hand port receipts

There was some selling early in the SEES

The Finest Grain and Stock
Farm in Eastern Va.

Situated twenty miles west of Peters
burg and Within four of the Norfolk and
Western r. r. The tract contains two
thousand three hundred and fifty-seven
acres, about one-ffth of which is table
land and rich creek bottom, the uplands
are gently undulating; not hill on the
place. Soil is a clay loan and very pro-
ductive the bottoms are as fine timothy
lands as any in the State and produce
heavy crops of grain. The farm is
beautifully watered by springs and
streams. There are two residences
(about one and a half miles apart; one
contains eleven large rooms, several
halls, closets, porches, &C., the other
six rooms. There are the usual farm
houses such as barns, tenant houses,
granary, &c.
Some excellent fruit-Apples, Peaches,
CHERRIES, Grapes, &c. There is not
n more delightful home or healthier one
in the State. | am too old to manage
it, and to make a speedy sale offer it
at the low price of Twelve dollars per
acre, less than / have ever offered it.
This tract would cut up into a dozen
fine farms, but l wish TO sell it as a
whole. Deer, Turkey, Quail, &c, in
abundance
JOHN 6. GRIFFIN, Owner,
Petersburg, Va.
The above is from the Turf Field
and Farm" of February 18th, '9S. 1t
is fairly good description of the farm
called mill Quarter" l purchased it
last fall and am now the owner instead
of J. G. Griffin. l have offered it for
sale at seven dollars and fifty cents
per acre instead of Twelve. Adjoining
lands are held at higher prices. Capt.
Griffin was offered twenty-five thous-
and dollars cash for the farm and re-
fused it, holding them at $500 per acre.
There is a fine opportunity for some one
to buy this place, cut it up into small
farms and make five thousand dollars of
farms and make FIVE thousand dollars
clear of all expense in a short time.

BUT ONE SURVIVOR.
A Letter Received at San Francisco
in Which the Writer Says He is
The Sole Survivor Of the Arctic
Whaling Fleet.

San Francisco, May 22.-Much con-
Germ was caused in maritime circles
here by the receipt of a letter from
Afcgnak, stating that man had just
arrived there bringing the distressing
news that he was the sole survivor of
the whalers who have been imprisoned
in the ice all winter. According to his
story, which is hardly credited among
the best informed whaling men, while
the whaling fleet was in the ice at
Point Barrow, the ships and all the
men except one fell victims to the ter
rible ''pnching" of winter ice, which
no Arctic craft but the sturdy Fran has
ever been able to withstand. The let
ter, which comes from Paff, off Afog-
max, deals principally with business
matters, and mentions only as an incl
dent the alleged loss Of the whalers. No
details are given, nor is even men
toned the name of the supposed sur
vivor, who is said to have carried the
news to the outside world. According
to the letter, the survivor reached Afog-
max in small sloop in which he cross
ed SheikikOff Straits from Portage Bay
to Afognak. Whaling men and others
familiar with the Arctic, place little
faith in this letter, but the fact that
Paff, the writer, is in responsible po-
sitiOn, is considered reliable and we'll
acquainted with the conditions in the
far north, making those interested in
the welfare of the whalers not a littlo
anxious
Two whalers from the fleet, Mate Til
ton, ard one Walker, brought down de-
tailed accounts Of the conditions at
Point BarrOws about six weeks ago
Both stated that every vessel in the
feet was in a safe position, and that
there would be no difficulty in getting
out when the ice broke. In the light
Of the statements of these two expert
enced whalers, the story of wholesale
destruction seems improbable, if not
Impossible. 1t is surmised that the
story may have grown out of some
thing said by Mate Tilton, when he
passed through Afognak Tilton at
first refused to talk about the whaling
fleet unless well paid, and it is possible
his silence was misconstrued by the
Afognak people who were compelled to
guess at the nature of the news he car
ried.

IT CAN WAIT.

New York Times. --r'
The old Hawaiian gang, REINFORCED by
certain sincere patriots who are equally
unsefish and unsuspicious, are pressing
the annexation job forward in the guise
of a war measure. We must have Ha-
wall they say, as halfway station be-
tween San Francisco and our new pos
sessions, the Philippines. Manila is $500
miles from our coast. Honolulu is 200
miles away--a convenient and necessary
coaling station and intermediate base of
supplies.
This is plausibility itself. England's
pathway to her Indian Empire is
"blazed'' with British flags She has
Gibraltar and Malta. The SueZ canal is
hers. If we want to expand we must go
about it in a fine, imperial way by talk
ing the Hawaiian islands.
When we have decided to keep the
Philippines there will be time enough to
decide about Hawaii. We can have it
any minute There need be no fear that
any other nation will forestall us. If
we conclude to sell or give away the Phil
ippine Islands we shall have no use for
Hawaii, and the war argument will fall
to the ground.
The Hawaiian job can wait.

A DISASTROUS FLOOD.

Quincy, Ills, May 22.-The break In
the Crow levee in the Indian district
has caused the spreading waters tc
cover an area of nearly $4,000 acres OF
farming lands, and on part of them the
water is three feet deep. 1t is esti-
mated that about 5000 or 5000 acres
of wheat is submerged, and it probably
will be a total loss. The streams are
out of their banks on the Missouri side
of the river opposite this city, and the
farmers have not been able to cross the
bottoms since Thursday evening. Much
damage has been done by washouts and
in the carving away of bridges.
