At this particular time when Nor.
folk, Baltimore and Fredericksburg
are actively competing for the trade
OF the Rappahannock river counties
1t behooves our Wholesale merchants
to make strenuous efforts to divert
this trade to fredericksburg. Their
represen tatives should be sent into
these counties, since nothing suc-
ceeds like personal solicitation, and
every inducement should be offered
the people of these counties to trade
here. We want this rich trade and
we are frank to state this fact. With
the putting on of two boats a week
from Tappahannock to Norfolk the
Weems Company shows disposition
to meet the demands of Norfolk
business men in their fight for this
trade, but even with these facilities
Norfolk's connection with these river
counties cannot be compared in ex-
pellence with orrs. We have still
two boats q week from Baltimore
and better, still, the two river boats
connecting this city with points
along the river as far down as the
hnstling town of Crbsnna. With
these facilities our business men can
transact business on both sides of
the river with the utmost expediency
and can we'll afford to send their
statesmen into this prosperous country.

DECoYEDINTO AN ASYLUM.
Mrs. Charles Thurman. OF Clarke
County, Makes This Charge In
Divorce Suit.

A Winchester special says: Suit
for divorce involving several of the
most prominent families of Virginia
and Tennessee, and which is expected
to be one of the most sensational ever
held In this section, has been fled in
the Circuit Court, of Clarke county.
by Mrs. Thurman, asking for an alb
solute divorce from her husband,
General Charles Thurman, on the
ground of cruel aud inbuman treat
ment and false imprisonment in an
insane asylum.
Mrs. Thurman is a member of an
old and prominent Tennessee family.
and is near relative of former
Governor Bates, of that State. She
Is an unusually beautiful woman. is
splendidly educated, aud possesses
rare accomplishments. For several
years past the Thurmans have lived
on fine estate near Berryville, Va,
and the husband is reputed to be
worth quarter of a million dollars.
In her bill of complaint, Mrs.
Thurman recites a long story of al
legged cruelty, but the most mportant
allegation set forth is that her hus-
band spirited her away from home
and had her committed to an insane
asylum in order to get rid of her.
She alleges that about year ago,
General Thurman, under pretense Of
examining some property in Staunton,
Va, with view of purchasing it,
induced her to get in a buggy at their
Berryville home, and after a drive of
hundred miles to Staunton, Va,
decoyed her into the insane ASYLUM
In that city, and in the office of the
superintendent commitment papers
were served upon her as an insane
person. She further sets forth in
her bill that board of lunacy, upon
the testimony of an old colored man
who formerly knew the plaintiff.
signed the commitment papers.
After being incarcerated in the
asylum for several months, she
managed to communicate with her
friends, who employed counsel, and
had her Immediately released from
the institution. An affidavit of one
of the officials of the asylum, filed
IN the case, alleges that Mrs. Thur
man was not insane when she was
received at the institution; that she
was never given medical treatment
while there, and that her retention
at the institution was because of the
commitment in the case.

HOW TO RAISE OYSTERS

Professor John A. Ryder, of John
Hopkins University, and other
scientists of renown, have by ex
perlments made itpossible for anyon,
near salt water with ordinary care Il
produce young oysters, says an ex
change. The method is exceedingly
simple.
Producing oysters by artificial
methods consists merely in aiding
nature in her work of reproducing
the species. An oyster is taken and
the shell opened so that the animal
lies in the deeper shell. The ura.r
surface of the oyster is then stroked
gently away from the hinges with
an ordinary glass pipette. If the
mollusk is ready to spawn this strok-
ing will cause it to emit fluid
which, If the oyster be female, will
be full of tiny eggs, miscroscopical
in size. A few drops of this LIQUID
is taken up by the pipette and put
into tumbler of sea water, as is also
a drop or two of liquid from male
oyster. The eggs and male cells
thus come together in the water and
are fertilized in the natural way. In
a couple of hours the eggs will have
Matched, and thousands of young
oysters will be floating in the tumb-
Ter. For couple of days the young
oysters will swim about, but at the
end of that time they will have
grown a CLASSY shell and will be ready
to attach themselves to some solid
substance. During the swimming
stage thousands of them are very
likely in their natural state to be
devoured by fishes or by adult oysters.
1t is after young oyster attaches
itself to a solid object of any kind
that it begins to grow lime shell.
The laryal she'll remains attached to
the new shell until it finally wears off.
Care must be taken that the oysters
have solid objects on which to attach
themselves, as many perish for lack
OF proper place to settle, or they
suffocate in the mud.
The possibilities of producing
oysters by artificial means are great,
since single female oyster in single
spawning season will produce 16,-
100000 to 40,000,00O eggs. 1t is
estimated that 90 per cent. of the
eggs may be impregnated and hatch.
A tumbler of sea water will hold
100000 of the newly hatched oysters.
