Their people farm a hundred acres each, and do it well; we attempt to farm five hundred, or a thousand, and do it badly. . Certainly no State in the Union has more natural advantages than Virgin ia. She might become the garden of all the States, and in the -'course of time re sume her proud position as the "Old Do minion."

THE CKEDITOSS 8TEATAQEH. Four creditors started from Boston la the same train of cars for the purpose ot attaching the property of a certain debtor in- t armiugton, iu the estate ot Maine. He owed each one separately, and each one was suspicious of the object of the other, but dared not say a word about it. So they rode, acquaintances, all talking upon everything except that they Had most at heart. When they arrived at the depot at Farmington, which was three miles from where the debtor did business, they found nothing to "put 'era over the road" but a solitary cab, towards which they all rushed. Three got in and refused admittance to the fourth and the cab started. The fourth ran after, and got up outside with the driver. He asked the driver if he wanted to sell his horse. He replied that he did not want to;2tliat he was not worth more than fifty -dollars, but he 'would pot sell him for that. He asked him if he would not take $100 for him. "Yes," said he. The fourth man quickly paid over the money, took theorems, and backed the cab up to a bank, slipped it from the harness, and tipped it np so that the door could not be opened, and then jumped upon the horse's back and rode off hckety-swifch, while the insiders were looking out of the window, feeling lika singed cats. , He rode to a lawyers, got a wiit modoand served, and his debt seeured. aud got back to the hotel just as the "in siders" camo up, puffing and blowing, The aoman soon oougut dsck ins norse lor htty ollars.
