Possibilities.

OSSIDIlIClcS
vIhere are some things, which, in them
selves are impracticable, whilst there are
others eminently practicable, in themselves,
but are rendered wholly impracticable by
reason of attendant circumstances. This
has unfortunately been the case with news
paper publishing, which has been SO gener
ally conceded to be a so very laudable enter
prise, and one so very practicable, under
the most ordinary circumstances, but by
reason of having the proper support with
held, and that too by the parties most in
terested in its success, it has become almost
impracticable
How few of our patrons think of this,
and how very few ever care to offer any
gelief. IF it was only our time expended
we would offer ne complaint, but would
with degree of patience abide the times,
but, unfortunately, our necessary expenses
are very heavy-the item of paper alone,
which can be had only for the cash, takes
an amount of capital, surprising to those
unacquainted with the business. 1t must
be very clear to every one that we greatly
need money, and mast haze 1t an order to
successfully carry on the business, and to
whom shall we go for money but to our
patrons? We expect to be paid by each
one enough, at least to pay their quota for
achite paper, if no more; or we will be
compelled to follow the example of some
of our contemporaries, and cat docm our
subscription list to a paying standard.
It is impossible for US to sustain ourselves
if our patrons will not sustain US, and the
choice is with them whether they will have
a local press or not; but we must have our
money. Please do not forget.

HarriSOnbHrg.


We had the pleasure Of paying q visit,
a few days ago, to this beautiful little city
of magnificent pretenslons.
If any number of stores, groceries, grog
eris, frst-class hotels, billiard saloons, and
base ball clubs can add anything to a bust
ness, busting town, then Harrisonburg is
the place; not to say any thing ofthe prin-
cipal institutions of the county-the Reg
aster and Commonwealth.
In speaking of base ball, we are remind
ed that the Senior of the Register is an
active honorary member of the Lone Star
club, and has made rapid advancement in
talking" base ball.
We saw a great deal, and heard vastly
more whilst on our raid, which we should
have been pleased to note, but time and
space forbid at the present.

Bridge at EdinDurg.

Serious inconvenience is felt for the
want of bridge at Edinburg, over Stony
Greek, which was carried away during the
high waters last October. Ever since
that time ferry boat has been kept to
convey passengers on the stage line, across
the creek, as the ford is so very bad and
slippery that it is impossible to pull out
with heavy load.
However, this will soon be avoided, as
We understand that Mr. Wood, the renown-
ed bridge builder, is to go to work on this
bridge during the present week.

stance, of supposug that the leaders of his party
are of as benevot tent instincts and as fond Of
peace as himself and that the American people

the same reverenees for laws and Constitution

that no blood had been shed IN this country for

begun to think that American human nature was

difference was between the tiger that had not

are no longer the same law-and-order genera

garding Constitutions. authority and precedent.
1t is not at all incredible that leading Radicals
should entertain such schemes as are ascribed to
them by Mr.. Raymond. If the testimony.of that
gentleman is true we are in immnct peril of a
civil war as terrible rs any OF those which in for
mer days convqlsed England; war NOT in the

defeat such wicked designs and prevent such
