To BE CLosED.-Col. Lytle has declared his
determination to close the Mountain House on
the l5th of next month. This will be . sad and
solemncholy, news to some. We did hear that
it was the intention to run passengers over the
new road by that time, but then again we hear
that it cannot be accomplished before the Goth.
If such is the fact, and the new Altoona Hotel is
not completed, the passengers must layin stock
of bolognas and crackers at each end of the road.

NEw EMPLOYMENT FOR WoMEN.-We see il
stated in the city papers that women have taken
up the trade of shoe and boot making-that their
specimens thus far are confined TO summer shoes
and gaiter boots, mostly for children and their
sex. One writer says that the work is equal in
strength and beauty TO mans, and that women
can make their $3.50 per week, at this trade,

This subject is now undergoing discussion in

sed the entire goodwill of Barnum's New York

nal in the Pictorial" the public viii reap the
advantage of this concentration of the strength of
the two papers upon one, both in the artistic and
literary departments. The same brilliant host
of contributors and artists will be engaged on
q Glcason's Pictorial as heretofore, and large
addition is also made to the corps, both in talent
and number. The most liberal arrangements
have been completed and such will enable the
proprietor to produce by far the finest illustrated
journal yet published, and much superior to the
present issue of the paper The columns of the
3. Pictorial will constantly be beautiied by all
that can please and instruct in art and nature,
and its literary department will fully sustain the
high reputation it has so long enjoyed.
The pages of g Geason's Pictorial" will con-
tain views of every populous city in the known
world, of all buildings Of note in the eastern or
western hemisphere, of all the principle ships and
steamers of the navy and merchant service, with
fine and accurate portraits of every noted charac-
ter in the world both male and female. Sketch
es of beautiful scenery, taken from life. will also
be given, with numerous specimens from the an
imal kingdom, the birds Of the air, and the fish
of the sea, and will present in its mechanical eX-
ecution an elegant specimen of art. 1t will con-

ALL HoA4.-The martyrdom of q little Nor
wegian boy named Iverson at Chicago, for refu-
sing to steal turns out to be hoax, and akin to
the g pious frauds" chronicled among the super
stitions of old. A boy of this name, however,
was drowned, and a jury of his own countrymen
mostly decided that his death was purely acc-
dental. We derive these facts from the Chicago
Tribune. The sum of 81 200 had been collected
to build monument to the supposed martyr.

LAND IN WESTERN vinoINA.-The various pro-
iected lines of railway in Western Virginia are
rapidly enhancing the price of land. In Nicholas
county, large quantity of land, heretofore con-
sidered almost valueless, has been recently bought
up by new settlers, principally from the eastern
counties of the State. The last Lewisburg Era
states that in one neighborhoOd alone some seventy
five or eighty thousand acres have been purchased
in parcels, from few hundred 10 as many thou
sand acres, at prices twenty-fold more than could
have been procured few years ago. The new
settlers, it is said are importing hands from their
late eastern homes opening roads, clearing up land
and making every preparation necessary to make
the "wiIderness bloom os the rose"

Asu1Anp-The Frank fort(Ky.9 Commonwealth
quotes the paragraph going the rounds of :he pa
pers. stating that Ashland, the home OF Mr.. Clay.
once belonged to Daniel Boone, and says:
1t is fullof errors. Ashland never belonged to
Daniel Boone; nor, so far as we are able to learn,
did it belong to Col. Nathaniel G. Hart, who fell
at The River Raisin. 1t certainly did not descend
from him 10 Mrs. Clay. The disastrous battle OF
the River Raisln was fought in the month OF Janu-
ary. 1873, and Henry Clay owned Ashland seven
or eqbi wears at least before that time. Col. Hart
was Mrs. Clays brother, not her father, as seems
to be implied by the paragraph cited; aud as ne
left children of his own, one at least OF whom Is
still living his property could not have descended
10 bis sister. The truth respecting Ashland, as
near as we can ascertain from gentlemen who re-
member the place for nearly fifty years, is that it
was originally part of the Todd and Mansfield
entries, and that Mr. Clay purchased it at an early
day-say between 1900 and 1906.

mock river, twelve miles from Fredericksburg
From this mine some $500, coo have been extract
ed. When last visited by the writer twenty
hands were employed. The yield was nom 500
to $3.50 per day. The workings extended to the
depth of a hundred feet. In Fluvanna county,
Commodore stockton has long been working
mines The yield of gold has been considerable,
though it is understood that large suns of money
have been tpentupon machinery, which was f.
nallyIejected. Very recently the mines known
as the arnett and Mosely mines, in Buckingham
county, which have passed through several hands,
have finally been purchased by an English COM
pany, who are working them. This tract con-
tains $4,000 acres, upon which are several veins.
The main vein, at depth of ITO feet is fifteen
wide, and Yields about SCOT the ton. Besides
staff of engineers, they employ seventy negroes.
The daily yield we have not learned. The Lon
