Turnpike Meeting.

We learn from the Hagerstown Herald
that quite a spirited meeting was held at
Jones Cross Roads, in Washington Coun-
ty, on Saturday last, the llth inst, in re-
gard TO the projected Turnpike between
Hagerstown and SharPsburg. Some thlr-
ty or forty persons attended, and a deter
minaGon avinced to put the work through,
which leaves 10 doubt of lis success.
Subscriptions of Stock TO large amount
have already been obtained, and others
have been promised, sufficient to warrant
a commencement Of tie road. An election
was held at the same time for President q
Managers Of Ihe said road, Tor the ensuing
year, and resulted as follows John w.
BpEATHED, President JACOB MILLER,
JOSEPH II. PIPEE, john S. ROWLAND,
JOHN W. SToUFFER, DR.. Thomas MAD
DoX, Managers.
We understand that the object in max
ING this road is 10 bring the travel from
Hagerslown via Sharpsburg and SAep-
herdstown to kerneysviIle-the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad, which is a much shor-
ter distance than from Hagerstown TO
Frederick, TO intersect the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad. We also understand that
immediate steps will be taken to pike the
road leading from Shepherdstown to
Sharpsburg, in order to render the travel
ling as agreeable as possible. And why
should not the citizens Of Shepherdslown
and lis vicinity fell deep interest in the
Of this work, as it will De the
only means of rescuing this cummunity
from its dormant attitude, and not until
we can see several lines Of Stages laden
with passengers and number of wagons
with merchandise passing TO and fro thro'
our streets it will remain so. Therefore
we would say to our monied men, open
your purse strings and give vent to lis
in maniiesting an interest in the
progress Of this laudabIe undertaking.
Rise from your lethargy then and see 10 il.
1t once. This work will amply repay
YOU for YOUR investments.

Plant Trees,

This is the season for planting fruit and
ornamental trees; and who that has the
ground would be without either Wha,
so profitable to the pocket as tree laden
with good fruit, or what so beautiful TO
the eye, or so grateful to the sweltering
brow IN midsummer as the siIver-tinged
and wlde-sPreading branches of the map
lie. or some other tree of ornament and
shade ! Nothing. See 10 it, then, and
plant them.

The SouIe Difficulty.

The Americans in London and Paris
regard the refusal of France 10 allow Mr..
Soue to pass through her empire as an
intentional insult, whilst at the same time
they deeply regret that the American Gov
eminent should have sent so Objectionable
a man as our Ambassador 10 Spain. Mr..
Mason's request for an explanation was
treated with rudeness.
The London Times justifies the act,
but ridicules the idea of national dItteren-
ces, and urges peace and all amicable sell
Element of the affair.
France, it is asserted, assumed TO know
Mr.. SOule, under the circumstances, only
as a private individual, for whom, and on
account of whose private acts she could
entertain no respect. The opinion pre-
vailed that France would disown any in
tention of disrespeei 10 the American ma
ton, in whatever course she may choose
10 adopt in reference TO Mr.. SouIe as
private individual.

Latest from Europe.

The Collins steamship Atlantic arrived
on Saturday last, bringing important and
interesting news. Her dates are 10 the
lst inst, four days later than those by the
America. SevasIopol has not yet fallen,
and the Russians continue to give evil
dence of the most desperate valOr IN It's
defence. The allies had siienCed some
of the ont works, and small breach had
been made in one of the forts. The Rus
SLAMS in a soI,ie spiked sixteen of the
French guns and took Lord Dunkelir pris-
oner. No practical breach had yet been
effected, and the allies were unable TO
storm the Notifications. The struggle is
evidently close and bloody one, and the
allied forces will perhaps only achieve
their purpose after prolonged seige.
From France we have an interesting
item of news. The silly refusal of the
Emperor to allow Mr.. Soule TO pass
through France, is confirmed, and our
Minister at Paris has demanded an apollo
gy for the afront. The London Times
iustifes the Emperor's treatment of Mr.
Soule and says that the apology will not
be granted. The affair has given rise 10
much Newspaper discussion in Egnand.
The commercial news announces
general decline in breadstuffs. Flour had
fallen Is. Cd, wheat 3D., and corn Is. TO
2s. per quarter. Cotton was unchanged

To our Patrons and Others.

With this number we close the first
volume Of the Register since We have IA.
ken charge Of the establishment, and in
announcing this 10 our kind friends, who
have molly patronzed us we would be
alike recreantto the feelings and promp-
tings Of the heart, as we'll as an inward
sense of duty, should we refuse TO return
10 them our warmest thanks for their pat
ronage, and we sincerely hope for a con-
tinuance of the same. Coming into your
midst an entire stranger, we met with a
cordial reception and hearty greeting, and
thus far have met with success far beyond
our sanguine anticipation. But, as this is
The age Of progress we wish 10 extend our
business. There are yet many persons
in This community, whose duty it is 10
encourage Home Industry, as well as
knowing that i Printing Establishment is
of incalculabIe benefit in a community,
who have not favored US with their pat,
ronage, but in order TO lay out all induce
menl for lheirpatronage we vii! state that
a new volume Of the Register will COM
mence on Saturday next, the 25th inst,
and atwhich time is an appropriate peri
cd to receive new subscribers. We there
fore request all those who wish a good
and cheap paper TO subscribe for the Reg
is ter, as il will contain at least twelve col
umns of reading matter weekly, which in
one year will amount TO GA columns
and all for the low sum Of $50 be paid
at auy time during the gear. In short,
although smaller in size The Register will
contain greater variety Of news than any
of our neighboring contemporaries; from
the fact that we deem ituscIcss and unpro-
ftable to dabbe with politics, and shall
therefore issue a strictly neutral sheet
giving news from all quarters Of the Globe
as well as difTusing light and knowledge
for the advancement of the interests and
welfare of this community. Send in your
names then friends and commence with
the new volume.

after some conversation, she was aOou'
leaving the room for the purpose OF geF

and screamed murder" lie pursued
her. and was about pluuging the KNIFE IN

his intention, ran between them and thus
saved her daughter life. The alarm was
given in the street, and Officer Bird, OF
the Sixteenth Ward, soon made his APP

he took to the police station. On search
inc him. the two pistols and knife were

to have killed the girl with one Of the
pistols and himself with the other; but,
as he had failed he would take future op.

Fine Rains.

On Friday night last, heavy fall OF
rain took place in this vicinity, and con-
siderable quantity also fell on Sunday ev-
ening and night, being the best rains that
we have had since the month of April.
The wells, many of which had become
dry, have been replenished with water
and the streams have been greatly aug
mentcd by these rains--thus enabling the
millers to operate much more extensively
than they have been doing, and ayoFting
what would otherwise inevitably have
soon followed, a general suspension Of
grinding.

Bank Panic.

The Bank Panic in Washington was
continued throughout Tuesday by regu-
lar "run" upon Selden, Withers & Co.
The panic was occasioned, it seems, by
the decline in Virginia Stocks, owing 10
the large quantity thrown into market by
the Indiana Free Banks. Se!den, With
ers & Co. had been large dealers in these
stocks, which are perfectly sound. They
are gentlemen of ample private means,
and will no doubt be able to meet all their
liabilities, though the present pressure
NAV give them much trouble.

Riches Of Virginia.

Speaking of iron, Virginia paper says
there is ore enough in Montgomery cOun.
~. in this Stale, TO build railroad with
a double track of heavy Trail 2I0 tons 10
the mile, from Washington City TO san
Francisco. 1t is found at different points
within from one TO five miles Of the VIZ
ginia and Tennessee rail road. The ore
is Of the very best quality; rich enough
TO Weld from 80 to Is per cent OF pure
IRON. This ore can be mined or gotten
out at a cost of from ID cents to 80 per
ton, it being situated on gentle slopes N
immense lodges from which II can be
blasted in large masses. The writer goes
on:
"There is stone coal of the very purest
and best quality for iron manufacturing
purposes, enough within from five TO ten
miles of the Virginia and Tennessee rail
rail road, (and TO which branch rail ROAD
will be built in 1889 to supply the de
mands of the whole world Tor years. In
short, an ineXhaustible amount. which il
so situated that it can be mined Ut a cost
of from 30 to rs cents per ton. There Is
on New River, Little River and Roanoke
and their branches, in the county of Mont
gomery, convertible water power to at
least O,OO0 horse power. The country,
though fertile and productive, has still
very large proportion of heavily timbered
forest, for which might be obtained I'M
mense quantities of charcoal and fuel.
The foregoing facts are strictly true; and
yet, strange as it is, there never has been
a ton of iron made III the present limits Of
the county Of Montgomery.

Year of Calamity.

The New Orleans Christian Advocate

heavy misloruneS that have beiailen our
nation during the present year, sums mp
lie mournlul tale III language as full Of
truth as the year has been Of memorable
events
1--WE sing of mercy and judgment.-
The year past will be signal in history
for its disasters. Drought, in the best
agricultural districts, cutting Off millions
OF produce. Fires in cities and forests ;
mountains in blaze. Cholera invading
from the sea coast 10 the interior. Vel
low fever raging as never before. Dlsas,
tiers by railroads, and greater ones by rly-
ers and by sea. Sailing vessels lost;
steamers, huge and staunch, laundering
mid-ocean, or in tempting view of shore !;
or burning in hopeless distance Of rescue.
Thousands of lives lost; moaning and
waling fill all the land. Such events
show MS that God does not need wars,

Failures Of Banks.

A large number of Banks have recent
" failed in different parts of the country
occasioning heavy losses TO those who
con6ded in them. In many instances,
Woodworking. poor men, who had laid up
Z few dollars in these miserable swmdllng
shops, against LIES chances and changes,
have lost their all ; in other instances,
widows and orphans have been rendered
penniless in the lwinkling of an eye by
the financial sharpers and stockgambLers
who have had control of these rotten con-
Germs. The autumn leaves have not fall
len more rapidly, than Bank failures have
multiplied within the last two months, and
as long as legislatures legaIize tham, at
the solicitation of hired Iobby-members,
and the public is creduIous enough TO re-
ceive their worthless trash as a currency,
50 long will they continue to augment,and
to afflict society as so many nuisances.
The following is list of only some of
those which have RPrs'ed within quite a
short time -
Farmers and Merchants Bank, Oswego.
Patchiu Bank, Buffalo.
Farmers Bank of Canandaigua.
DroycrS Bank, OgdenSJurg.
Bank of Carthage.
Farmers and Merchants Bank, Maryland.

The failures of private bankers, by
which hundreds and thousands of dollars
have been lost, are altogether too tedious
