INDIAN DEPREDATIoNs IN SURPRISE VALLEY
The Susanve Sage Brush, of November I'd, says
The latest adyces from Surprise Valley represent
the Indians being very troublesome in that quar-
ter. They have made several raids into the valley,
stealing stock and grain, and would seem to be
laying in supply for winter. A body of the m
made descent short time since upon quantity
of grain recently threshed, and sfser eating open
and emptying large number of sacks OF barley,
retilled them with wheat to an amount of one
hundred bushels, and deeamped to their winter
stronghold in the region of Goose lake. These are
the same Indians General Crook had the fight
with.

suspension Bridge over the South
Branch in Hampshire Counfy-Ne-
+ cessity Of the Improvement-Its Cost
and its ProfIts-A Good Investment
Editor OF. the Register:
Though opposed as general thing to
enormous appropriations by the Legis-
lature for public improvements, and
especially SO at this time, when the
finances of the State make such q poor
showing, yet / think it is the better
part of wisdom, and i'll the long run,
commendable, forethought and econ
omy, for the Legislature ts make some
small appropriations for internal i'm
provenents, where the necessities OF
the case unquestionably demand it
and where in fact, the combined inter
ests of the citizens and State are deeply
concerned. Such n case we now
have in Hampshire county i'll
dicated by the provisions of
of House bill No. Sc, asking an appro-
priation of some three Thousand dollars,
on behalf of the State, to rebuild the
wire suspension bridge across the south
branch of the Potomac. This is almost
an indispensable public improvement,
the completion of which will be of in
calculable benefit to the, people of that
section of country and the State at large.
Moreover, when erected, the money SO
LII ,,..ll la f.
ment, both to the State and to the stock
holders, as the former nett proceeds per
annum We're over 5000, which is rate
of interest far beyond what the State
has been in the habit of receiving on her
investments. That bridge when first
built cost something over seven thou
sand dollars, and was built, too, under
favorable circumstances, when labor
was from fifty to seventy-fve cents
per day, and other things in proportion;
consequently, as the towers, anchors,
and much of the wire, are still Oh
hands, and with the. exception of the
cables, in good condition, it is surely
very good reason why, and strong in
ducements for, the necessary outlay
asked for in the bill. And though we
do not put it forward as plea in behalf
of our request, yet we do think that the
people of Hampshire county are justly
entitled to some of the benefits accru-
ing from State appropriations for inter
nal and other improvements, which
more favored localities have no diff
Guilty in receiving, nor scruples in ac-
cepting.
With the hope that the members of
the Legislature will give the matter the
favorable investigation and considera-
tion its merits SO eminently deserve, we
will for the present close.
Yours truly, &c,
