To THE People OF AUGUSTA CoUSry-The
time allowed the Executive Committee to make
the necessary arrangements for the Grand Barbe-
cue to be given by the friends of the Valley
Railroad on the Both inst. was so limited that
in making out our Committees in the differen t
townships, we may perhaps have omitted many
of our friends who will give us valuable aid
We therefore hope and expect all whether named
on the Committees or nof) gentlemen and ladies
who desire the permanent material prosperity of
this grand old county to give us their assistance
and make it ID grand success. We must all put
oar shoulder to tn. wheel and poll such vote in
favor of the subscription as will secure to US this
Road. This is the only chance we have of get
ting Railroad through this beautiful Valley.
therefore send in to the Office of the Valley Rail-
road, on or before Friday July 2sth whatever
you may feel disposed to give, such as hams, sad
dies of mutton, beef butter pies, pickles, &c, & =.
and let US have real old fashio ned old Virgini:.
Barbecue.
Have your meats cooked at home.

Important Railroad Contract.

An important railroad contract was con-
cluded at the Girard House, in this city,
yesterday, by A. K. McCluts, counsel for
the Central Improvement Company, with
the Shenandoah Valley Railroad Company
Ike improvement Company have contracted
to construct the Shenandoah Valley Rail
road, including supcrstrucfufe, stations
and everything ready for. 4hc equip
ment, from the Potomac river at or near
Shepherdstown, by way Of 'Charlestown,
Front Royal, Luray. Fishcrsyillc, Licking
ton and Buchanan, to the Virginia and Ten
nessee RAILROAD, near Salem, distance of
233 miles, and to complete the Same within
two years.
The contracting party is made up of
strong railroad men, and they will be able
to prosecute this impoi tant enterprise with
the utmost vigor. The Cumberland Valley
Railroad will be promptly extended from
Hagerstown to Shepherdstowu, Assistance OF
but thirteen miles, and thus connect the
Shenandoah Valley Road with the Cumber-
land Valley and Pennsylvania Central. It
is the purpose of the managers OF the Shen-
andoah Valley to extend their road as
speedily as possible through the Cinch and
Holston Valleys, througha country ofbound-
less mineral resources, to Knoxville, and
connect with the network of railroads radi-
ating from that point, aud also extending
their line from the Clinch Valley, through
Pond Gap, to connect with the Kentucky
system of railroads, thereby making almost
an air line from Memphis to Philadelphia
and New York.-PhizaaelpAia Paper.

$50, 900, 600, are pending in Chicago.
It is said that upwards of 1000, 900 gal

How STRANGE That agents and friends of
other Machines will say things about the Wheeler
4 Wilson that arc untrue. They say it will not
sew heavy work. There are four Tayloring rs
Establishments in Staunton, and three of them use
the Wheeler & Wilson with perfect satisfaction,
and none of them ever had lesson The other
Establishment uses Singer. Significant thai!
Furthermore not one Agent in Stanton can use
Wheeler & Wilson. Hence, Judge that ye may
be Judged-One Of the Stanton Agents had his
Machine in Il ladies house and so was the Wheel
er & Wilson there He sawed through fifteen or
twenty thickness of cotton and left it and told
the lady If the Wheeler II Wilson would do it.
without breaking needle or. thread, that he
would give her $40. The Wheeler & Wilson did
sew through it twice and made a more perfect
stitch in every particular. How are YOU Mr.. $50
Wonder if she ever got it. There is the rub as
Shakespeare says. d1

On Thursday evening Of last week We were
visited with very heavy rain, accompanied with
a strong wind, which did some little damage.
In the northeastern portion Of the county, from
Mr. Bethuel Herring's to North River, the rain
fell in torrents, causing a perfect flood in the
streams, damaging the standing and cut hay and
washing away some of the latter. The Barn of
Mr.. J. NJ. Loffland was struck by lightning. but
was only slightly damaged. Prof T. J. White,
of Messy Greek had a fine horse killed by light
ming in mis- yard and very n ear his house. Mr.

There was also some ha il which damaged tho
