January 4, 1874

We the undersigned, citizens of the count"
OF Shenandoah, do hereby certify that we are
the neighbors and acquaintance of Jacob J
Funkhouser, ot the same county; that We
have known him for number of wears, and
take great pleasure in attesting to his correct
and honorable department in all the various
relations of man, friend, aneighbor, htIs-
band and parent. We deeply regret the
separation that has transpired between him
and his wife, and believe it to be the result of
bad cour.s-l and a sinister influence, in all OF
which we sincerely believe that ]. j. Funk
houser has had no agency
That the cruel and unkind conduct of J. ]
Funkhouser has been the cause, either prcx-
innate or remote, of his wft's departure from
HIM, We can never believe unless so serious
charge is sustained by other and better testl-
Inony than the vile SANDERS of Josephus
Drtimmond AM his no less vile aidefs and a.
oettors. AS friends of truth and peace, we
advise MIR. Furkhous r to disregard the sour
rilous publications Of the said Drumnond, as
'hey exhibit vciousness equalled only BY
the ignorance and VANITY of their author-and
toreiy upon the CONSCIOUSNESS Of his own ~
nocence and the approval of candid, impair.
tlal and discerning community G ven under
our hands this first day of January. 1874.

''If we md thousands Of our readers

cause we regard him as pledged TO CON-
mercial reform and to the laying of duties

his opinions on the great question Of pro-
lection TO American industry. During
this period he has voted several times di-
rectly for the Tariff. and several times in
directly, as is the case Of the New York
Legislature when he was memter. He
has written at least twenty letters on
the subject, as in reply to tho Indiana
Legislature of last year. and also in the
more recent letter published in the Rich
mond Enquirer. The Post is one of his
organs and expounders. and yet the Edi-

when any cardinal point Of public policy
is under discussion.
We have a remedy for all this. and will
suggest it to the Post as a method Of set

with its readers: Let some Democratic
Committee, or the Editor. PROFOUND the

This last increase corresponds more near
.ly with the generally estimated average in
crease of the business on rail roads, viz. 20
per cent, per annum, for FIVE years. In 9TH
er words, it is calculated that the business of
rail roads will double within five years after
they are opened. 1t is eviden; that, with re-
gard 10 some roads the doubling viii take
place in shorter time than that.
The following is a statement Of the divi-
dends for the last six months upon the stock
of several rail roads, with the amount of cap
ital invested in each, and the current value of
each 800 Of the stock, as Lind it in the Bos-

l will now proceed, Mr.. Chairman, 10
to some general observations on the sub.

the cost of construction of, and income

Nothing in the history of internal i'm

United States, viz. II in Maryland, ISL
in New. York, and in Massachusetts,
Now, there are in operation in the United

Enquirer in replying TO our article, that
Mr.. Van Buren, by means Of the Commit

preceding ten years, hs shown by the di-
minished increase Of our population is
worthy the most serious consideratiou.-
Thus, from 1s2O to 1880 our population
advanced from 235, 1914, to 2s0,679, being
an increase Of 44,9l5, or a little over 10

The small dividend on the stock OF the
Eastern rail road is presumed to be owing to
the competition between that road and the
steam boat lines from Boston, eastward.
The per cent dividend on the Western
was for the first year. The probable increase
in subsequent years may be conjectured from
the following comparison of the receipts on
that road for the two weeks ending Deem

Now this is all wrong-deplorably.
wretchedly wrong. Girls should know
that men, superior to themselves in ed
uca;lon and position, do not associate
with them for any good. Men should
know that BY marrying girls educated
in habits oflife above their fortuna
they are not likely to have good wives
1t requires but the exercise of a lii
tie sound sense to have every person
suited to their minds If men but
knew it it is better TO have wife CRATE
full for more than she expected, than
grumbling at less. 1t is delightful
going up the hill of fortune; but hor-
ridly jolting and aggrava,ing work 10
come down.
For man TO say he cannot afford
to marry, is absolute nonsense. ANY
man can afford to marry who is not a :
frald to work. Ittakes less to support
two together than two separately, and
for every mouth to feed, comes from
some source, additional! energy. Mar
red men earn more money than sin
gle ones, and spend less. For The
comparative happiness Of married and
single life, we may appeal TO the ex-
perience Of all who have tried both,
and TO the observation of those who are
suffering the horried discomforls Of
celibacy.
