whig paper in Harrisonburg.
Model Fakm —The South Side Democrat Mates
that at a meeting of the Executive Codtnitte of the
Union Agricultural Society held on Saturday, it
was resolved to purchase for the purposes of a
model farm, 100 acres of the tract of the late L. E.
Stainback, on Washington street, Petersburg,
known as Indiana, the price demanded being tBS
dollars per acre. Mr. A. Nicol was chosen superlc
tendant at a salary of fIOOO per annum.
AcqurrrKD.—Armstrong,*who has been in the
jail of Monroe county for several years, under a
charge of bigamy, has been acquitted.
One of the Men.—The Rockingham Register
thus describes a citizen of Pendleton county—Fre
derick Kelater by name:
He is now in his 88th year, and has killed during
bis lile one thousand deer, ten elk, three hundred
bears, thirty panthers, and fifty three wolves. Veri
ly, be has slain hia share of varmits. He was a
volunteer in the whiskey in urrection—and has a
very young wife, with two interesting young boys—
"chips of the old block"—one two years old and
the other four.
Unpleasant Occurrence —Mr. Abel Head, an
old and respected citizen of Petersburg, has been
arrested and held to bail in the sum of <1000, to

Gazette. It will hereafter be a neutral paper.
Clerkship.—James B. Headen has been elected
clerk of the county and circuit courts of Floyd.—
We don't know whether It was " a Know Nothing
triumph " or not
North Carolina Legislature.—A bill is before
the North Carolina Legislature to Incorporate the
Charlotte and Wilmington Railroad Company, by
which a connection is to be formed between Wil
mington and Charlotte, via Lumberton, Rocking
ham, Wadeaboro", &c. The capital of the company
i* to be $2,400,000; and when individuals shall have
subscribed $800,000 (one-third,) the State is to en
dorse the bonds of the company for the remaining
two-thirds, retaining as security a mortgage upon
all the effects of the company. The people of
this vicinity are interested in the fate of this bill,
in view of the anticipated connexion by means of
the Danville Railroad.
A bill was introduced last friday to raise the sal
aries of the principal officers of the State as follows:
that of the Governor to $3,000; the Treasurer to
$2,000; the Comptroller to $1,500, and the judges
of the Supreme Court to $2,000 per annum.
Revelations or the New York Dentists.—
We copy the following from the New York He
rald:
For rome days psst, meetings hare been held by
the dentists of New York, with a view to elicit facts
bearing on the recent case ot Dr. Beale, of Phila
delphia; and in the proceeding! of these met tings,
which have obtained a wide publicity from the
press, revelations of the most startling and unex»
pected character have been made, It seems that
the use of chloroform and ether, in a majority of
cases, has been followed by the most unpleasant
and shameful consaquences. Dr. Barlow testifies
that "he has known ladles (under chloroform; of
course unconsciously, but seemingly not so at the
moment, divulge their dearest and most delicate
secrets." Or. Castle "is satisfied of the influence
of ether over the reproductive system." Mr
Francis declares that a lady to whom he gave chlo
roform "used language of the most ridiculous, pro
lane, and oven obscene description." Dr. Hazlett
confesses that a female patient of his, "as she grad
ually felt the excitement caused by the ether, caught
him round the neck in the most endearing man
ner."
Mr. Hurd had a lady under the inflence of ether,
"chase himself (the operator) around the room, af
fording most unmistadable signs of perverted feel
ing, so much so that her mortified husband begged
him not to give her any more." Other medical men
gave testimony to the like effect.
These revelations have taken the community by
surprise. Whatever may have been the motive of
the New York dentists in holding their meeting and
giving publicity to the facU elicited thereat, it is
something very strange that a practice fraught with
such abominable effects should have been in vogue
(or so many years without a single attempt to ex
pose or discard it. People have been sending their
wives and their daughters to the dentists to take
chlorolorm ever since its Introduction, and though,
according to the concurrent testimony of the most
eminent practitioners, it has hardly ever been ad
ministered without causing the Innocent sufferer to
violate the laws of modesty, no one has ever heard
a word on the subject tilt a dentist Is sent to prison

The Whig say* that the Democratic pre** ha*
recently become veiy indignant against what th«y
call a lu*ion of partle*, and consider* it inconsistent
because "the Democratic party up to the present
time ha* been but a fusion of the odds and —< Am .
from parties cf every hue and stripe." It reminds
its Democratic contemporaries that they SWafttmt
the last persons on the face of the earth from whom
lecture* againstcan coniiatently coma. The
Whig continues: £ ' " '
They are not only now endeavoring with- all
their might to bring about a fusion of the Leake
moo, the Smith men, the Wise men and all outsi
ders—men who a tew weeks ago were arrayed ia
bitter hostility to each other—but they strive also
to bring about a coalition between the Hunter Land
Bill Democrats, and the ami-Hunter Land Bill Dem
crats, and it has not been a month ago since fee)
were pitted against one another on that very ques
tion, as one involving a great fundamental princi
ple ofparty policy.
The writer farther suggests that they are not a*
all indisposed to receive the votes of the know,
nothing democrats; but fears that all the fusion they
can hatch between this and the fourth Thursday of
next May won't save them.

FOREIGN COMMERCE.
The following summary will be read with inte
rest:
The official returns to the Secretary of the Trea
sury of the export value of Cotton, the past Trea
sury year, show as follows compared with the pre
vious year:
Pounds weight Export value. Rates per lb
18534 987,833,106 $93,596,220 9-47
1852 3....1,111,570,370 109,456,404 9:85
The export value of Breadstuffs and Provisions,
the past year, compares most favorably with the
previous year, owing to the enhanced demand and
nigh prices from abroad, of Flour and Grain. The
figures are—
For Treasury Year 1853 4, value, »f,5 901,240
Treasury Year 1852 3, value, .{•:>, ORK-yx>
Difference, *82.915,918
As nearly double in value as it would be possible
to count the round per centage. The highest ex
port ever attained by Breadstuffs and Provisions
was for the Treasury Year 1846-7, under famine
prices, §68,701.921 by rustom-house declaration —
The export value of Rice and Tobacco the past
Treasury Year compares as follows:
Tobacco. Rice.
1853 4 $10,016,046 $2,604,127
1852 3, ]]"11319,319 '1;657,'65l
The average of Tobacco per hbd., was $79 4i
agaioat $70 81 the previoua year. The highest ex
port value of Tobacco waa in 1811, $12,576,703 —
The higheat average per hbd. waa in 1839. CUM 47.
The highest export of Rice was in 1847, $3,605,6%.
The average per tierce waa then $24 97: last year
it was $25 05.
Of the Domestic Produce of the country expor
ted the last Treasury year, amounting to $215,157,-
504, the produce of Domestic Manufacturea com
posed $26,179,503, or about one-eighth, say 12 49
per cent.; and of this last sum, the produce ol the
Cotton manufacture of the United States made $5.-
535,516, or a little over one-tifib, against $8,768,894
Cotton manufacturers exported the previous year.
The falling off is principally in uncolored Cotton
Piece Goods, which yielded to the export table in
1853 $6,926,485, and this year only $3,927,148.
A Breach of Promise Casx and its Rmult.—
About a year since, It will be remembered, the cir
cumstances relative to a suit brought against Wm.
K. Hall, at that time Superintendent of the Harlem
Railroad for a breach of promise of marriage, by a
young lady from Washington, were published;
and it was subsequently stated that she had obtained
a verdict of $13,000 damages against him. Since
that time, says the New York Express, hehasap.
plied for the benefit of the Insolvent act, submitted
to imprisonment in jail, and recently obtained a
discharge from his debts; by means of which he
escapes the penalty and leaves the young lady to
take care of herselt. Such is law in New Ycrk.
Samuel D. Scovllle, who absconded from Mason,
the 29 th October, with 910,000 of the funds of Agen
cy in that place of the Marine Rank of Bevanriaby
and who was arrested in St. Louis, has been taken
to Macon and lodged in jail About $8600 of the
money stolen has been restored to the Rank.
It was rumored in our city last evading, says a
late number of the St Paul's <Mln.) Times, that the
deck hands ol the War Eagle,on her last trip down,
had a fracas, when soon after they were heard nail
ing up a box. When the boat reached a point below
Prairie du Chlen, the box was taken ashore and
buried. This box was dug up by the inhabitants to
which was found the corpse of a young man with
his skull smashed In. An Inquest was held on th 6
body—the box was identified a* coming from the
War Eagle, and officers were sent to arrest the pro
gress of the boat. We hope that this disagreeable
rumor may prove false, but the information seems
to emanate from a responsible source.
Failcts of Amothi* Rao Shop -We under
stand, aays the Atlanta Intelligencer, that Mr.
John Glenn, agent of the Georgia Railroad Coosa
ny, on Friday Last piesented filteen -hundred dol
lar* of the bills of the Cherokee Insurance Bank,
at Daltoo, at the counter of Un bask for redemp
Hon, but was met with the information that there
were no funds on hand to redeem the notes. The
bank has but very recently commenced opera
tions and we presume the amount of circulation It
has been able to obtain for its notes quite limited.
