Virginia Hams. ?We beg our friends in
the country to care as many hams as they can.
Corn is abundant. Tbey can make more profit
out of that large crop by fattening hogs and
curing good "Virginia hams" than they oan in
any other way. We are all sick of chubby
western hams, with their elephant like hocks
?hams the fat of whieh is transluent and oily
to a degree that makes a man often wish that
they were not on the table. Then, too, few of
the paper-covered and canvassed hams ever lose
the flavor of mould that envelopes them.
Last winter there were orders here for Vir
ginia hams fnfm New York aod from London.
They could not be filled. We understand the
cause very well. But may there not now be a
oondition of things that will enable the farmers
to gladden consumers once more with good.ex
quisitely flavored, toothsome bams? In times
of trial all men like to meet old acquaintances.
It is a pleasure, even though it be dashed with
a trace ot melancholy. We should certainly,
as all good people would, we doubt not, wel
comes a real daioty ()!d Virginia ham as a very
much esteemed aod genial acquaintance of other
aod better days.
Nor let us yet forget the excellent Virginia
middling, which, for boiling with cabbage or
peas, is not to be excelled; or, for frying fish or
any fresh meat, is better than lard.?Rich
mond Dispatch.
Sale of Shorthorns.?The etuire herd of
pedigree shorthorns the property of Mr. Geo.
Moore, of Whitehall, Cumberland, ia Eng
land, was sold at auction on September 9, at
the Home Farm, Whitehall. There was a
large gatheriug at the sale, which was highly
successful. Twenty eight cows and heifers and
seven bulls were sold for ?10,343; the twenty
eight cows and heifers brought ?10.308; the
seven bulls sold for ?235. For Grand Duchess
of Oxford XL, a red oow, calved in July,
1867, Sir Curtis Lampson, Sussex, paid 2,000
guineas. Duchess, a red cow, realizd 375
guineas, Mr. Rigg, of K. ;nt, being the pur
chaser. The same gentleman *ave 400 guineas
for Flighty Gwynne, and the Rev. P. Graham
Turooroft gave eight hundred and fifty guinens
for Siddington IX. Sir Wilfred Lawson
bought Graceful Dutchess for 500 guineas, and
Mr. Blandford,of Nottinghamshire, gave seven
hundred and sixty guineas for Lady Worcester
X. For Lily Gwynne the Eirl of B.ctive
gave 515 miineas, and for Grand Duchess of
Oxford XXXL, a red-white calf not yet three
months olii, the Duke of Devonshire gave 1,
0U0 guineas. The bulls aud bull calves did
not bring high figures. Sir Wilfred Liwson
presided at the luncheon. Six of the cows and
heifers had just recovered from foot and mouth
disease. Among these was the cow that sold
for two thousand guineas.
A Case of Total Depravity.?On the
night of August 26th last, Charles H. Madeo,
a young man twenty years of age, who had long
been a disgrace to his parents, and had been
driven from home by them, broke into their
house at No. 552, 2d avenue, and stealthily
entered bis mother's room. His mother asked
him what he was doing, and be replied that
he would kill her if she made any noise. He
then took possession of her pocket book, which
contained $8, and made his escape. His moth
er complained to the police, and a few days
afterwards the young rascal was taken into cus
tody by Deieotive Dunn. He was duly indict
ed for burglary io the first degree, acd to-day
was arraigned before Recorder Hackett, io the
Court of General Sessions, for trial. The evi
dence disclosed the above facts, and also that
almost from his infancy Maden had led a life
of crime, having served io the State prison and
penitentiary, The jury rendered a verdict of
guilty. Recorder Hackett,io passing sentence,
said that in the whole course of his official ca
reer he had never met such a case of willful
wiokedness and total depravity, and therefore
he owed it as a duty to society to pass the high
eat sentence knowo to the law. He then sen
tenced Maden to State prison at hard labor for
the term of tenty years. Maden throughout
the trial bore an air of bravado, and laughed
when the sentence was prooounced.?Niiv York
Commercial.
Rich Effects for Toilettes.?For very
rich toiletteb new effects are sought by comb
ining two very different colors, and these new
or at least hitherto unseen effects are found
everywhere. Dresses or cream colored crape
de laine aud nurine blue faille, the tablier of
crape covered with ruches pinked on both sides,
and the train is of crape bordered all around
with an enormous pii.ked ruche; the corsage
of faille is covered with orape half way up from
the belt, aud the sleeves are of crape. This is
a dinner toilette. Another dress is of flax gray
?atio and pale rose-colored brocade; another is
all bronze velvet and sulphur faille; and all are
amalgamated, twisted, draped, folded ood
pleated in a manner that defies all description,
bo that one could not decide which was the be
ginning or the end of the different breadths of
the material which compose a toilette of the
present day. But amoog this mixture of dif
ferent stuffs the prettiest will always be a com
binatioo of a beautiful faille and brocade with
large damask flowers, while the most expen
sive material this winter will be brocaded vel
vet; for instanoe. on a foundation of pale rose,
bend biue, or faded green are designs of vel
vet, in relief, of exquisite taste, and this is
combined with plain faille of the same shade
as the foundation of the brocaded velvet.

LEDGER'S FLUID (RED), THE UNI
VERSAL DISINFECTANT. (Perman
ganate of Soda.) It is the only true disinfectant
known, all other preparations sold for this pur
pose being merely deodorizers (or articles which
possess the property of overpowering unpleasant
smells by their own pungent and often disagree
able and dangerous qualities.) It is particularly
adapt;d for disinfecting sick rooms in case^ ol
typhus fever, small pox, cholora, scarlet fever,
diarrhoea, and all contagious diseases, and loi
purifying rooms in which there are dead bodies,
removing at once all unpleasant smells, and
destroying effectually any latent germs of dis
ease. By placing the diluted fluid in dishos 01
basins, about bed chambers, school rooms, work
shops, hospital wards, &c., it keeps the air in a
perfect state of purity. For stables, slaughter
houses, butchers' shops, dairies, cellars, tfcc., it
is invaluable, keeping them in a perfectly
wholesome state, by merely sprinkling the di
luted fluid over the floors and walls. It keeps
dust bias, water closets, drains, urinals, &o.,
sweet and wholesome, by using once or twice &
day. For sale by JANNEY&CO.,

[From Rev. E. T. Baird, Secretary of Publica
tion of Presbyterian Church South.]
Richmond, July 27, 1874.
The Xanthine is the only hair dressing 1 have
ever used which has removed the dandruff l'rom
the scalp and made my hair soft and pliable.
It has also restored my hair to its natural color ;
and by occasionally using it as a hair dressing,
I have no doubt it will preserve the color.

]From Rev. Charles U. Head, D. 1)., Pastor
Grace-stieut Presbyterian Church,]

At the suggestion and presentation of a friend,
I have used one bottle of Prof. Hor'z's Hair
Restorative, ' Xanthine." It h^s accomplished
in a very briet time and without any perceptible
unpleasant or injurious effects, nil that is ciaimt'd
for it as a restorer ef the natuial color of hair
turning gray. CHAS. H. READ.
