OYSTER PLANTING PAYS.
Colbourn Brothers & Howeth,
formerly of Somerset Co,
Very Successful i'll Their
Virginia Planting.

Does oyster planting paw is question
which has often been asked. and IN
which many answers have been given.
Although hundreds of planters in the
State of Virginia have practically dem
onstrated that oyster planting does pay.
The oystermen of Maryland seem as
yet divided in their opinions upon this
important subject. That the oyster in.
dustry i'll Maryland has steadily de-
clined for the past ten years no one will
deny. On the other hand. that the
planters of Virginia are reaping har-
vest is an equally assured fact In order
information along this line. we give
b, low the experience of Messrs. Coul-
bourn Bros & Hnweth. who went from
Somerset county Il few years ago, and
who are now engaged III the growing of
oysters at WeemS, Va. In the start.
this firm had assigned them - acres of
oyster bottom i'll the Rappahannock
river.
This bottom was planted in shells aud
Young oysters and with such success
that now these gentlemen are among
the leading planters in that State. Last
summer they employed over % tongers
for three months. in planting shells and
transplanting oysters This winter they
employed - tongerS To Gull their oysters,

WoDferter County is to have another
furder trial, and as in the other cases,
thg principals are negroes. George
lvley shot and killed John Fassett at
lfhf home of Riley near Berlin last Fri

brought to Snow Hill on Saturday. He
couid easily have furnished bail for his
APPEARANCE in court had it been bail

ment

which adjoins the storehouse. but did
not find her. My little girl told me that
her mother was out doors somewhere.
| went TO the backyard and toward the
barn. My attention was attracted to
the barn door. which was open few
inches. This surprised me as had fed
my horse and COW and locked up an
hour before, so went to the door and
started 10 open it. Just as | did so the
door was pushed suddenly open and my
wife rushed out She was very much
excited and apparently frightened. l
asked her what she was doing there.
She said she was watching some one
she thought was stealing our wood l
felt satisfied that was not true aud it
made me suspect something was wrong.
"She went on in the house and went
a few yards off to another door of the
stable. | made considerable noise and
/
the door which my wife had come out
of. | heard no noise, but as started TO
put the pitchfork away | put my hand
on Il mans shoulder 1t was very dark
and could see nothing. jumped back
and called for him to come out There
was no reply, and called several times
without hearing anything whatever. |
then called for John Spence, who was
in the store. | got no reply | ran to
the store and got my gun and called to
someone in there TO bring lantern. We
ran back to the stables, but could not

got no answer. | heard a noise and
looked toward sliding window which
was being pushed back and a man was
crawling through. | called to him to
stop, but he kept on and fired the shot
which killed him. Ny intention was
only to shoot him in the legs to keep
him from getting away"
, Riley Immediately afterward gave
himself up.
Fassett made an ante mortem state
ment, i'll which he oorroborated Riley's
story and admitted criminal intimacy
with Riley's wife. Riley bears an ex-
cellent reputation as peaceable and
industrious citizen. Public sympathy
is decidedly with him.
