On the llth December, the Stockholders of the Rich
mond and Danville Railroad Company will hold their
annual meeting in the city OF Richmond at which meet
ing it is contemplated by many that the route Of the
road will be reconsidered and probably changed The

and promotve OF the South Side road to connect with
the Lynchburg and Tennessee road the friends of inter-
nal Improvement in this part OF Virginia. will be truly
gratilied. The intermediate country between Danvi lille
and Richmond is deeply interested in the success OF
part Of individuals to accomplish the work and if bv

unite with the Richmond and Danve Company, the

This sad and melancholy event, whilst it has deprived
adoring family of one of its brightest ornaments has
also created void in the extensive circle Of her ac-
quainanee which cannot be easily supplied. Possessing
highly polished and cultivated mind, she was, indeed
an object OF peculiar attraction in every circle in which
she moved 1t was the nestmabe pleasure OF the wri-

ceased, and he does deeply sympathize with the
bereayed relatives, the reparable loss which they
have sustained by the death OF one truly amabe and
Interesting.
She made profession of religion in her early years,
and has been since that time, most consistent and ex
empary member OF the Baptist Church.
Throughout her long and painful Illness she bore her
suferngs with that gentle submission which is so truly
characteristic OF the Christian character and her rea-
ves and friends have the abiding consolation to know
that she died in the full hope OF happier existence in

MAYORS CoURT-Mr. f. Johnson, member oftie
Fire Association was yesterday fined because he had
violated, few nights since, during an alarm of fire,
the ordinance prohibiting the running of fire engines
and reels ion the sidewalks ofthe streets. The case,
struck US as peculiarly hard one; but the Mayor had
no discretion-lhe ordinance is imperative he inn
posed the fine. The streets are just now, almost inn
possable and we opine it would take strong team to
pull heavy fire engine through the mud and paving
stones which ornament some ofthe principal streets.

PASSING COUNTERFEIT MoNEY-A stranger stepped
into store on Market Bridge yesterday for the purpose
OF purchasing some articles Having selected few no.
tons, he rendered $40 bill in payment--receved the
change, and marched off An examination of the bill
after the customer had left satisfied the merchant that it
was rank counterfeit. Sohe determined to keep sharp
look out for him. An hour after the transaction
the merchant overhauled his customer and told him
that he must replace the couneleit by genuine bill
AT first the man denied passing the money but upon
being informed that the police would settle the matter,
he knocked UNDER and said he would rather lose $40
than have fuss about the matter So he gave good
money for the spurious bill and then pamosed. Look
out for this customer-he has probably ga few more of
the same sort left"l

Werecur to the passage by Congress OF the four
great conservative measures above mentioned
We love to dwell on this subject. It is one in
which our feelings have for months been most
deeply interested. We consider the passage of
these measures constituting an era in our Con-
gressional legisaton-as point in the history of
the nation to which Americans may ever look back
with patriotic pride 1t shows the strength of our
Institutions the admirable structure OF our Govern
ment, and that though pertinacious demagoguism
may oppose and for while battle the efforts of
pure and devoted craftsmanship, the latter will in
the end triumphanty prevail, especially, as in this
instance, when supported by the patriotism and
good sense Of the people. We repeat, it is
glorious result and one which will give heartfelt
Joy to ninety-nine hundredths Of the population of
our widely-extended country.
