HAVOC AMONG OYSTERS.
Upper Rappahannock Oysters Suffer
Worse Than at the Time OF the
Memorable JObnstOwn Flood.

What had promised to be The
finest oyster season in recent year;
will eliminate in disaster to the
planters In the upper parts of many
of our rivers that empty into the
Chesapeake bay.
Taking the Rappahannock river
with which we are most familiar
close inquiry reveals the fact that
as low down as Wheaton, in upper
Lancaster county, oysters have been
seriously damaged by the floods of
fresh water and mud that have
coursed down upon them in recent
weeks. No damage has been expert
enced below Wheaton, as the great
volume of salt water cannot be af.
fected by the influx of fresh.
At Wheaton it is believed that at
least one-fourth of the oysters have
been killed; at Sharps (higher up)
the planters feel satisfied that one
half of the oysters are dead and this
percentage materially increases as we
go further up.
Naturally these are only approx
mate estimates, based on the iudg.
ment of experienced men. A few
weeks working of the beds will come
nearer to the facts, while the full
extent Of the loss will not be known
accurately until they stake the beds
up" a year or eighteen months hence.
The present week has been losing
one to shuckers and shippers of oys-
ters- Fastening to get their products
into market upon the resumption of
steamboat communication they were
met with q "glutted" market. As
much as $500 has been lost by a
single shipper this week. Among
the losers were Capts. ID. w. @.
Sharp, Ii. q. Glenn, L. /. Radcliffe
and Geo. V. Wagenen.

and excitement runs high.
One day a man was detected
pulling a wagon in front of a car
and the military started to arrest
him; a riot ensued. the mans wife or
sister jumped at the sergeant and
punched him in the face. A lieu
tenant came up and the woman also
fought him. Sergeant Mccoy pulled
his pistol and a serious conflict was
imminent. The man was finally
arrested.

OF ALL SAD WORDS

just listen to this: "Why cam
every woman, married, single, spin
ster, old, middle aged, young, be
pretty!" And then the bachelo,
editor of the blithe Fredericksburo
Star goes off in a rhapsody over
some patent decoction that is euar.
anteed to make all women look
lovely, importuning the old, wrin-
kied, snaggle-toothed, razor-chinned
fem to "grasp the opportunity while
1t is nearl No more ugliness-noth-
ing now but beauty, youth, grace,
'ovelinessl woman, lovely woman, ,
why will you not approach the
fountain? It's waters are sparkling.
its spray is like the nectar of the
gods. Come while you may. Awav
with ugliness forever!'
rity' tnough, his improvision was
npped in the bud by the following
query from two young ladies: "Why
aren't all men witty" Of course
there could be nothing personal in
the interrogatory. All who know
the gallant that drives tbe foo;,o
pen over the Stars pad are aware
that he fills the title to perfection,
and he, of course, is eliminated from
the young ladies' query.
What disturbs our minds, though.
is why our brother should desire
more beauty in the feminine ranks.
