Frequent reference has been made
to the excellence of several of our ho-
tells in this column, and we therefore
deem IL sufficient merely to reiterate
that our friends Lewis IL Woodmansee,
of the "Grant," and Edwards & Conant
OF the "Sprigg," are going on in the
even tenor of their way-providing for
the wants of the inner man in the same
style for which they are already famous:
but we believe we have never said n
word as to the fine accommodations Of
fered the travelling public Mt the Mcclure
House. The fact Is, We have had Col.
Jos. Suider, the proprietor, on proba-
ton, as our Methodist friends would
say, to ascertain if he knew how to
keepa hotel; and now, having served
out the usual term, we believe he should
be received into full and complete menu
bership of the "ISOciete de Bonifdce."
Judging from the numerous arrivals
each day, we are warranted in coming
10 the conclusion that the Colonel has
made a "ten strike" in taking charge of
the Mcclure, and is rapidly acquiring II
reputation as n first class caterer, His
tables are abundantly supplied with
the very best the market affords; and as
to the bar,-why, rye local, ;" you know,
IS not expected in these times of high
prices, TO indulge in anything stronger
than Ohio river water mingled with
petroleum.
Major MallOnee who presides in the
office, is Il prince in his profession, and
is always in the best possible humor-
ready to provide for the guests of the
Mcclure in a polite, gentlemanIy man
ner. With disposition on the part of
Col. Suider 10 make his hotel "A No.
establishment in every respect; assisted
by his accomplished and accommodn-
ting clerk, as well ms II thoroughly

Accidental resident of Centre
Wheeling, whose name we were unable
10 learn, going home on last Wednesday
night, found it necessary to cross Main
street at u point where the ditch for the
new water pipes is still open. 1t being
pretty dark at the time, the gentleman
put his foot where he imagined solid

that he fell TO the bottom OF the ditch.

Il OFFICE OF THE VALLEY RAILROAD,
p --4te Staunton April 25th, 1866.
We wish at once to push forward the Line of
Railroad which is to connect the Potomac with
the Virginia and Tennessee Road To do this,
extent of
y 7+ ONE MILLION OF DOLLARS.
This we propose to have done on the following
terms: Two per cent of the amount subscribed,
to be paid in soon as called for; thirteen per
cent additional, to be paid within the next three
years; the remaining eighty-fv per cent, to be
paid within the next ten years.
Ii this amount of Stock be promptly taken on
these easy terms we can effect negotiations which
will enable us to have its remainder taken abroad,
and which will enable us at the same time, to
raise the money for the Stock taken at home up
on the Bonds of the company payable in ten
years. f -.
1t is unnecessary to say anything in regard to
the vital Importance of this great work. Every
property holder within reach of the Road appre-
ciates it. '0t
1t may be proper to state however, that cir
cumstances are more favorable now to the con-
struction of this work than ever before, prob
ably than they will be hereafter. We have al
ready secured q ttttt
to locate the Road from Harrisonburg to Salem.
They will commence operations early in May
Use them the speedy completion of an improve
ment which will do more than any other in con-
temptation for the advancement Of our interests.
The commissioners in each county will open
books of subscription at once, and are earnestly
desired to have the stock subscribed promptly.

To rise upon some fairer shore;
And bright in heavens jeweled crown
They shine forever more. ~
There is no death The dust we tread
Shall change beneath the summer shower
To golden grain or mellow fruit,
Or rainbow tinted flowers. r-i
The granite rocks disorganize st
To feed the hungry moss they bear;
The forest leaves drink daily life
From out the viewless air. .e-..r
There is no death The leaves may fall
N The leaves may fall and fade away
Tney only wait, through wintry hours,
The coming Of the May.
There is no death! An angel form
Walks Ger the earth with silent tread;
He bears our best loved things away, .,-
And then we call them dead"
He leaves our hearts all desolate-
He plucks our fairest, sweetest flowers;
Transplanted into bliss, they now
Adorn immortal bowers.
The bird-like voice whose Joyous tone
Made glad this scene of sin and strife.
Sings now in everlasting song
Amid the trees of life. ..ittir- q

Or hearts too pure for taint and vice a
He bears it to that world Of light

Just as he finished this account of his visit to
Church, the western train gave an awfuly long
shrill whistle, which caused him to start UP
suddenly to his feet, and off he went up "Bes-
sic Bell, back of the Lunatic Asylum, but l
could not see whether he took to the woods. or
went across the hills to Abney's Cave. Some
persons, that talked with about this mystic
rious individual, say, they have no doubt but it
is member of the reconstruction committee in
diguise, perhaps sold Ihdd' himself, but can
hardly think so, as noticed his feet were just
like most human beings, and he left no smell of
sulphur behind him. ~
Now, Mr.. Editor, should you meet with any
persons who doubt the truth of these state
ments-for you know some people are very in
credulOuS-say to them, that if they will walk
down the railroad to the third telegraph pole
this side of nearly three-fourths of mile from
town. they can see where the mysterious stran-
ger marked the telegraph pole with lead pen
Gilt has small cross on it, also few dim
hieroglyphics on it. By the way, l wish some
gentlemen acquainted with Hierography would
take the trouble to examine that pole and give
us a translation of it. And 1 think it would be
we'll for the Corporation to purchase the pole,
as no doubt in short time Barnum would be
willing to pay the Corporation a handsome
profit on it. GULLIVER.

Another Triumph of Science.

Recent experiments In England have given to
the world another triumph OF science in the con-
troll and management of the dangerous explosive,
gunpowder, more wonderful in its result than
the use and domestication as it were, of light
ming, as applied to the magnetic telegraph.
The announcement that gunpowder has been
so put under control that in one minute a bar
rel of it thrown on burning materials win smoth-
er the fire, and in the next instant it can be so
rearranged that it will propela cannon ball with
undiminished force, will possibly draw largely
upon the credulity of our readers, but it is sta
ted to be the fact. The gunpowder is rendered
innocuous, it is claimed, by admixture with
glass crushed to an impalpable powder, which
can again be rapidly separated from the gun
powder, by sitting. Several experiments had
been tried with it, such as inserting red hot iron
in the prepared powder and throwing it in shov-
elfuls on a fire, but the London Times Of June
% gives an account Of an experiment on grand
scale, which seems to be conclusive as to the
value of the invention. The government COM
mission had 33S barrels filled with five tons of
powder, mixed with twenty tons Of powdered
glass, and placed in condemned martello tow
er, between Hastings and Rye A charge of
pure gunpowder was put into the barrels and
an attempt made to explode them by electricity.
The charge Of pure gunpowder exploded, blow
ing out the ends of the barrels and scattering
some of the contents !; but on entering the tow
er no farther damage was found, and the gun
powder treated with glass was cooling down.
A pile of firewood was then laid on the loose
modern floor near the gunpowder, and as the
barrels containing the powder burned, the con-
tents, falling on the fire, smothered it, burning
towards the edges, however. like bad port
fire. Two barrels of the mixture were then
placed on a pile of blazing fagots, and as they
burned and burst, thNgunpowder falling on the
fire, rather deadened the flames while in the
out, leaving great part Of the gunpowder un-
consumed. The advantages Of this process are
manifest.
