Pottery.

Born in America; created from American
materials, and enriched with native art,
it has surpassed anything ever produced
in the old world. No mere illustration in
black and white conveys to the mind any
of the many subtle qualities it possesses,
the bloom of the peach, the CLINT of sun
shine on an upturned leaf, or on the sea,
are qualities that through familiarity,
are vaguely felt if not understood, and it
is so with RoolIwocd.
1t has many limitations. but these imita
tions at best are as the peach without
the bloom, the water lacking that tiny
gleam of light, which adds a glamor to
the scene and converts a mill-pond into a
poem. 1t is necessary to see it and hold
it in your hands, for no words can give
an adequate idea of it's charm.
We are sole agents in northern Penn
! sylvania and have all the newest effects

For a Wedding or Christmas Present it
makes an acceptable as well as a cher
iShed gift.

Cbief-of-Police Parkinson was yesterday
notified by telegram from Addison,
small station on the Norfolk and Western
railroad a few miles west of this city, of
the presence there of a white man who
was acting very strangely. The Chief
drove out to the station, found the man,
and brought him to town. He gave his
name. said he was from Newport News.
and told a sad story. He said that while
under the influence of liquor he went to
Farmvile and thence came to Peters
burg. While here the delusion overcame
him that a dear friend had died and was
hurled at Addison, and he went there to
ascertain the truth and search for the
grave. 1t was this search that attracted
attention and caused the telegram to be
sent to Chief Parkinson. The officer met
the stranger at a spring near Addison,
where, having recovered his mind. he was
bathing his head. A pass was procured
10 Newport News for him, and he left for
his home this morning.
