oysterg wbich had caugbt and grown all
around. About themiddle of the jug ia
a large toadfish. well housed in, and
cannot be gotten out without amashing
the jug or removing the oyatera. Mr,
Toad had evidently gone in the jug to
apend the winter and the oystcrs being
in a fast growing condition had closed
the paacway and left him a prisoner.
On the outside ia also a large bunch of
oyaters firmly clinched. The jug and
contents are at the landing of Mr.
George, near Monaakon, in the water,
and Mr. Toad aeems well satisfied in
his jug house, and no other jug houae

found in Mr. Toad's jug house?namely

oommissioncr that qo oyatert are purer
than the Chesapeake Bay bivalve, and
adda: "Qupte me as saying that our
Anr.eiican oysters are now abaolutely
harmleaa and free from fever germe.
It is not the oyster that ia dangerwus,
but the impurities on which iVU forced
to feed if not prpperly protected. It's
what is in the oyster's atomach that
makea it dangerooa. If the bivalve
dine8 in deep aea water it'a all right.
If it absorbs water from sewers jt is
dangeroua. Never waa our oyster sup
ply better protected than it is today.
I know of no typhoid cases traceable to
oystera." V

TIDEWATER CURES MALARIA.
Geo, C. Henning. writing in the
Washington Hexald, says* "1 had a low
malarlal fever which defied medical
treatment and two tripa to the moun
taina. Upon my retum from the moun
tains, I went to a Congreesional nomi
nating convention at Tappahannock,
slept on a straw mattress on the floor,
took a pungy from there to the Eaatei n
Shore, and alept in the hold. When I
got there I walked about two miles to a
friend's house, and made my breakfast
of corn cookies, and ate them until I was
ashamed of myself. But I waa cured
from that hour, and this in a mosquito
and malarial country."

THE DROUGHT BROKEN.
The protracted drought that haa pre
vailed in many parta of this State was
broken on Monday by heavy rain8
which relieved the suffering, especially
in the Valley region. No rain of con
sequence had fallen in the neighborhood
of Wincheater for about aix months,
and the rivers are lower than in many
yeare. In the trucking regions of Vir?
ginia thousanda of fall planta, cabbagcs,
etc, perished from lack of moisture.
Wheat and clover have been badly
damaged aa a result of the lack of rain.
