VIRGINIA HOME INDUSTRY

Our attention has been directed to an interesting re-
commentator, made in the last annual reports of the
President and Chief Engineer of the Virginia and Ten
Railroad Company the nature of which the read
er will learn from the subjoned extracts The PROPOSE
ton, that the Railroad Company should procure their
iron from Virginia furnaces, and manufacture it with
their own means, deserves the favorable conside-
ration. Much spoken and written about developing
the resources OF Virginia. Here is one practical illus
traton OF the way in which it is to be done:
Extract from the I'd annual Report of the President
Of the Virginia and Tennessee Railroad Company
"Being aware that the Company will soon have TO
make heavy expenditure OF money for the article of
iron necessary tor the completion of their improvement
and looking to all the elements that enter the price and
value OF iron when delivered in Lynchburg the Board
are OF the opinion that might be sound policy and true
economy tor the Company to manufacture the rails tor
the road by their own MEANS should it appear that
might be done on better terms than could be procured
otherwise
"There are many strong reasons for this course The
superior value OF American iron and the moderate cost
sufficient Inducements; but even if the cost should
be somewhat greater there would still be cogent reasons
in favour Of the undertaking. This 10 eminentlya Vr-
the resources of the State Virginia will subscribe more
than halt the capital stock. The very object which in
dneed the Legislature to subscribe the stock is more
etecualy obtained by making use OF the coal and iron
OF Virginia. and the industry of her citizens to make
rails tor the road The furnaces of Rockbrdge Bote
tourt and Allegheny, can now supply the pig metal at
less IMAM the prices ESTIMATED. by this plan more than
million of dollars will be expended among our own
people, instead OF being sent abroad to swell the pros
perty of strangers and foreigners.
Extract from the Report Of the Chief Engineer, dated
| November %, l849
at is matter Tor serious consideration Whistler the
Board will purchase the cheap but inferior iron Of Eng
land, procure American rails These last especially
when made OF charcoal pig, generally estimated to
be worth So per ton more than the rails which are now
| purchased from abroad"
The views presented in these extracts are adopted in
raj meeting it being declared that in the opinion OF
the stockholders, it is highly desirable that Virginia
ron be used in the construction Of the road" and the
Board OF Directors being accordingly Instructed to
| make immediate efforts to procure such IRON"

Much pleased to find we've Hot5een slighted,
BY those whose cnstom we've invited,
And grateful thanks we make to all
Whosve bought and PAID or made call.
Encouraged thus, again we'll show
The Aforesaid shop Of JIM & CO.
Now don't mistake and elsewhere go,
To Stevenson's or Singlesbaugh
One mp the hill, the other below,
And thus attempt 10 jump Jim Crow;
For If yon do we'il let you know,
Well not admit you TO the show
We've bought the patent-the county's mine,
We mean the edbug Glllotine.
Then come ye All who love sweet mapping,
Without such ticitehing, Jerking, scratching,
As found with bed-steads poorly made,
BY such az learn but half the trade.
Whose pins, and holes, and points attest
All will compose the cIincher's rest,
From whence they rally at dead Of night,
And piece your veins with venom bite.
If clean yon wish to keep your rugs
Your shelves aud blankets from fhe Bugs,
Come buy Of US and you shall find
There's nothing like the GlLillotine.
But what's the mode? come, tell your plan,
Wen huy your bsdsteads to man!
We've bought the patent, as said to you
Called the PeF0nlblEsating Scgel0.
So close they press the bugs together
You'd sell them well fer harness leather;
And il yon get Van Doren's price
You'll 7ay for bedsteads in atrice;
For three and twenty cents together
Hesays will buy pound Of Heather.
Bat our liquid fadge is best Of all,
a bottle we give to each that cali;
It's easily given, easy to take
Sure to kill and no mistake.
By pressing gently on the pate
The moeth fies open like gate:
There. drop one dFop-enoughi is said
And l'll ensure the ereatue's dead.
Good law! ha massa, what Ounce,

So easy done just by a squeeze,
Just do gobd lady as you please. %
