DEATH OF COMMODORE M. F. MAURY.
The President laid before the Senate a
telegraphic dispatch received by the Gov
ernor, announcing the death of Commodore ■
M. F. Maury, whereupon Mr. Anderson, '
of Rockbridge, arose, and in a few well- •**
time and pertinent remarks highly ulogis- I
tic of the deceased, seconded iv a like man- c
ncr by Mr. Wynne, presented the following v
preamble and joint resolution, which were i
agreed to: t
The intelligence of the death of Com- t
modore Maury has been received by the f
General Assembly with heartfelt sorrow a
and profound regret. Tho learning, labors, !
and genius, which, through a busy lifetime *
he consecrated to the highest uses of his
country and mankind, and his self-sacrific
ing devotion to the state, render it proper
that Virginia should recognize, at the
grave, the virtues of her illustrious son. "'
In the general grief which pervades thou- c
sands of hearts in both hemispheres, we
but give expression to the sentiment of all
who Knew him, when we point to his noble, J
earnest, and unselfish life as a beautiful
illustration of what the most ardent votary •
of science, animated by lofty Christian
principles, may accomplish for humanity.
But while Virginia admires the virtues '
and genius of her lamented son, there is [
no need that she should show them to the ■
world. Tho world knows him already. -
His fame like his usefulness has been
limited only by tho confines of com
merce and of civilization; and his
tory will perpetuate the recollection ,
of his character and his achievements, c
Virginia mourns his loss, and with *
his official associates and the loved ones of j
his household, grieves over the sad event
which has ended his labors on earth, and
rejoices in the assurance that ho has been
borne from scenes of suffering here to
the blessedness aud peace of n .
happier and brighter world: J
Resolved (the House of Delegates con- _
curring), That the foregoing paper be l
adopted by the General Assembly, be
spread on the journals of the Senate and
House of Delegates, and that a copy be
communicated to the family of Commodore
Maury and the faculty of the Virginia <
military institute. j
Mr. Anderson, of Rockbridge, was j
ordered to communicate the above to the <
House of Delegates and request their con
currence.
On motion of Mr. Wynne, the Senate

terian Church.

Movement against Small-pox.—
A circular before us, issued by the board
of health of Baltimore, contains some very
stringgnt measures for the suppression ai d
eradication of the small-pox, which has
gained such prevalance in that city as to
occasion general alarm. The city council
has passed resolutions requiring the board
of heath to commission a large forco of
physicians to vaccinate all who have not
been previously vaccinated, and any person
refusing to be vaccinated or otherwise inter
fering with the properly accredited officers
of the board in the performance of the
duties assigned them, is made subject to a
heavy fine. The board is further requir
ed to take possession of the bed, clothing,
and other furniture in the room of a small- ,
pox patient, and after a fair appraisement j
to give a warrant on tho city treasury for
the amount, tho property to be burned and
the premises thoroughly disinfected. The
board make an urgent appeal for a general I
and willing compliance with the require
ments of the council and the health
officers.
The attention which has been given iv <
Richmond for years past to vaccination ,
rehders unnecessary, perhaps, such strin
gent measures as have been rosorted to in
Baltimore ; but the presence among us of
the loathesome disease, however limited '
in extent and mild in form, should stimulate
all residents to avail themselves of the
facilities provided by the city to get vac
cinated. Care should be ,aken to prevent
the further spread of tho disease. t
Wo are informed that the old lady on 1
Church Hill, whose case has been several i
times mentioned by us, actually did the f
cooking for hor family, making up the ]
bread with her own hands, after the disease .
had broken out all over her, and that •
meals thus prepared were carried from her i
house to other parts of the city for mem
bers of the family who were afraid of con
tracting tho disease by eating at home. ,
The terrible malady was literally taken ■
into the stomach with the food, and the ,
messenger no doubt infected others while (
passing along the streets. If the safety of
our people is to be thus ignorantly trilled
with, wo cannot hope to escape the ravages
of disease. ,
Captain B. C. Cook's Patent '
Broom.—The construction of this broom '
is a metal head of brass or tin, to which '
the han_le is affixed, and into which the s
necessary amount of broom-corn is placed
and made fast by means of wooden wedges,
very easily adjusted. The advantages J 1
gained in the use of this broom is, that after J
the first cost, which will not much exceed t
the price paid for an ordinary well-made
broom, you can replace the worn-out one
with new straw, at a cost not to ex- (
coed eight cents each time, and to the l
farmer, who can grow the corn, the cost c
will ba less. As one of these broom
lieads will do servico several years, if care
fully used, its superiority over the common
broom is readily perceived. , b
Captain Cook will soon be prepared to sell a
rights to persons desiring to avail them- c
selves of the advantages of his patent, I
which can hardly fail to prove profitable to
purchasers, for tho invention is really a
valuablo one, and if rightly pushed will a
push all other brooms out of the market.
It is practically a broom that never wears .
out. _____
Works of the Virginia Tea '
and Coffee Company.—lt would
astonish many, no doubt, who have been '
accustomed to regard Richmond as provin
cial and inconsiderable, to witness the J
complete machinery and other arrangements *>
for the preparation, grinding, &c, of
coffee, and spices at the establishment of the I
Virginia tea and coffee company, at the
corner of Main and Eighth streets. Thou
sands of pounds of coffee, of all qualities •>
are roasted and ground and sold weekly, I
and other thousands of pounds roasted aud
ground on order from surrounding towns ■_
and cities not provided with the facilities j
owned by the company. The roasting and .
grinding aro done by steam. The estab- i
lishment is under the personal supervision 1
of Capt. Isbon Benedict, an old tar, but
one of the most genial and accommodating c
business men of Richmond. The arrange- -j
meuts are very complete, and of sufficient
capacity to roast and grind all the coffee
and spices used in Virginia. '
Professor Cromwell's Art En- i
TERTAINMENTS. —Aside from the pleas- l
ure of seeing exact representations of !
the homes of England, the audience at Vir- t
ginia Hall Saturday uight were furnished *
a vast amount of practical information by j
Professor Cromwell, which could not have (
been attained without much patient read- i
ing. The entertainment was one of the

ing to the ladies and children, valued at '
850, carried away. The bureau from which
the clothing was tnktu stood in the front
room on the first floor, and the robbery
was committed while the inmates of the
house were in an adjoining apartment.
Housekeepers should be careful to keep
their front doors locked and their movables
in secure places.

This machine is a "Virginia institution" by in- 1
ventior and patent, and is greauy admired by J
all who use it. There is no siyle of work that g
cannot be done on it. It requires but a single
thread, and will not rip. This we nbso.utely r
warrant, and can satisfy the most incredulous in
a moment's time of the truth of what we state if I
they will cull and examine our work. We are 1

San Francisco, February 2.—Littlo
prospect exists of any peaceable adjust
ment of the Modoc difficulties. Last
Thursday, Fairchild and Darris and several
others went by invitation of Captain Jack
to have a big talk. The place agreed upon
was the top of High Hill, overlooking the
Java bed. They were accompanied by
•squaw Dixie. She went to Captain Jack
and told him if he wanted to talk he must
go to the top of tho hill, and he would meet
Darris and Fairchild there. Jack would
not go. He wanted the whites to come to
his camp. This they refused to do. Jack
■taid they must come half way. Fairchild
refused again, and sent word to Captain
Jack to come to his camp within two
days, or if not he then must fight again.
General Gillem's command is half way
over the mountains, and will reach head
quarters on Tuesday.
