THE. RAILROAD SURVEY.

The survey on the lower section of the
Shenandoah Valley Railroad-at least that
portion between Charlestowu and Hagertown
under the supervision of j. B. McElroy
Esq, is being rapidly pushed forward, and it
is hoped in short time will be completed.
Two lines have already been run, and third
is about to be commenced. The first of these
is the line running from Charlestown, and
crossing the river at Dam No. 4, connecting
with the Cumberland Valley road three
miles from Hagerstown. The second is an
Independent line, run on an old charter, di-
verging at townsville, passing near st. James
College, and running direct to Hagerstown,
this line makes the distance to Hagerstown
somewhat shorter than by the Cumberland
Valley route. To-day the survey of the
third line will be commenced, which will di>
verge from the first line about three miles
this side of Shepherdstown, and crossing the
Potomac on the piers of the old bridge at
that place, pass through Sharpsburg, thri-
wing little town, and intersect the last named
line at or near st. James College. This is
about all the information we have of this part
of the work at present but when the survey is
complete we hope to be able to lay before
our readers full statement to the entire
work
I'm regard to the progress of the Survey in
the Upper Valley, We find ss,following in the
Luray Courier of last week:
Shenandoah Valley SurUeu-Assistant
Chief Engineer Barrett, of the s. v. R. r..
Co., has completed his survey from Front
Royal to Baskerville in Augusta county, q
point on the q. g. o. R. and also line to
Staunton. This accomplished gentleman and
engineer pronounces his route a complete sue
cess-"fnest aud most feasible he has ever
met over,,a mountainous country" He has no.
where found grade of more than &c feet. Mr.
Barrett has now gone on to join Capt. Prices
corps, which by this time must be quite near
to Salem. His own Corps, with that noble
and talented Virginian, Col. Jonson, at its
head, have returned to Front Royal and will
survey some additional lines to Luray. The
Corps will be met here by Mr.. Barrett.
We are informed from good authority that
the work on our road will in all probability be
commenced in less than sixty days time
Such is the liberality of the people of Page
county, that we do not think the right of way
through the county will cost the company

GAPEs IN CHICKENs.-As this is the sea-
son when thousands of young fowls die of
gapes, for want of proper attention, we give
the following remedy for the disease, by W.
R. Buruell, of Bridgeport, Connecticut, said
to be a sure cure:
"Mix in tablespoonful of soft soap all the
meal it will hold, and give to brood of ten
or twelve chickens" MIR. B. adds: Cali
that die from taking it, or all that die from
the gapes after taking it, l will pay for at
any expense" Let some of our readers try it.

The New York Tribune, IAN exhibit
of the affairs of the navy, says: "This ex-
hibit shows clearly that the, country is paying
at the present time in salaries for officers in
and around our navy yards, whose proper du-
ty is on board our nation vessels of s377,-
295 more than was paid to similar officers du-
ring the year 1864, when the yards were
worked to their full ability, and $685., 1880
more than in 1860, whom the yards were
doing nearly ROUTE as much as they are now"
This is good Republican testimony to the
economy of the Administration.

A DOUBLE HEADED CALF.-Last week
we were called upon by Mr.. Will. Di kison,
residing near the Montgomery and Frederick
county lines, below the mouth of Monocacy,
to examine one of the most singular freaks of
nature it has been our lot to see. 1t was a
double headed calf, having two perfectly
formed mouths, one turned to the right and
the other to the left, and four eyes. The
heads were joined just below the ears. The
calf was given birth to by a young cow be-
longing to Mr.. Dickson, and lived two days,
drinking milk sometimes with one mouth, and
sometimes with the other.

AN AFFECTING INcIDENr.-Mrs. Murtoe.
of Fairfax county, Virginia, went to the depot
of the O., A. & NJ. R. R. this morning with
her sick baby, and took seat in the ladies'
room to wait for the arrival of the train. She
had been there only short time when the
child died in her arms, but she olung to its
lifeless form with apparently increased fond
ness, and with it clasped tightly to her bosom
was assisted to a chair on the cars and pro-
ceeded on her joyless way to Clifton Station.
Her grief was distressing to witness.

THE XIX CENTURY.-The June No. has
been received, and we have read its pages
with increasing delight. Instead of any notice
of our own, we insert the following from the
critical pen of "Briok" Pomeroy =
"One of the very best magazines ever
published in the United States is The XIX
Century, published at Charleston, S. O., by
XIX Century Publishing Company, G. E.
Chichester, Business Manager. There is a
life, vigor, boldness, earnestness, elasticity,
comprehensibility, and variety in its pages
and articles very refreshing. From FIRST to
last the work is perfect. Its pages contain
some of the finest literary productions of the
age, while its editorials eVince knowledge Of
men, manners and customs, nations and the
laws of nations, greatly in contrast with many
magazine articles purporting to come from the
leading statesmen and brilliant minds of the
day. There is to be found in The XIX Gem
tMry the usual variety of light aud heavy
readiPg, sketches, descriptive articles, remi-
niscences arguments, incidents, and editorial
mentionings-all evincing the higbes. order
of talent, and most excellent taste in make up
and presentation.
"The price of this worthy and most excel
lent magazine is three dollars and half per
year-single numbers thirty-fve cents.

Ra- The following startling announcement
we clip from the Washington Republican of
recent date. AS to the body of armed men
arriving there, we know nothing, but give it
for what it is worth -
WAR AT HABPER's FERRY.-Harper's
Ferry is again the scene of war and military
occupation. This time it is between the forces
of John w. Garrett, autocrat of the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad Company, and George Fl.
Plant, President of the uarper's Ferry Water
Power and Manufacturing Company, to whom
the property was recently sold by the Govern
ment. 1t seems that the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad Company have enjoyed the privilege
of running its trains over that property for
thirty-six years free of all compensation to the
Government though they had no legal vested
right in it. Since the advent of Garrett, as
President of the road, series of encroash>
ments on the property have been deliberately
made from time to time, regardless of the
circumstances of Government officials. The
present owners resolved to put a'stop to these
Entertainments, and to make Mr.. Garrett I'M
derstand that he must respect their rights
Last Friday evening, Garrett, finding himself
about to be driven into tight place, DELHI
erately marched body of armed men, enough
for a Feniau army, and took military pos
session of the property, on the plea that he
was afraid his track would be taken up and
travel to the west over his line interrupted

Lions Attacking an Aotrsss-A Ter
rible Scene at the BowerY Theatre.

Afrightful scene, more exciting in its de-
tails that the very strongest blood and thunder
tragedy that BoWery audience ever witnessed
occurred at the BoWery Theatre on Saturday
night. That performance was drawing to
close, expectation was on tiptoe to witness
the brave and daring acts of Miss Minnie
Wells with the Puma lions. The young la
dy entered upon the stage, made her courtesy
to the audience, and Immediately went into
the cage containing the lions-the crowded
audience meantime watching the exhibition
with breathless interest. Suddenly, while the
young actress was going through her perfors
nance with the animals, piercing screams
broke the awe-struck silence of the theatre,
and the audience we're horrifed at the sight
of huge lion seizing the young lady by the
throat and lacerating her in such frightful
manner that the blood poured in streams I'M
der her dress. The actors and attendants
upon the stage rushed forward and struck at
the enraged brute, and finally succeeded in
causing him to relinquish his hold upon Miss
Wells, who was dragged from the cage in a
fainting condition. She was carried home by
her parents and received prompt surgical at
tendance. The scene among the audience
battles description. Several women tainted,
and men shouted with agony at Witnessing
danger which they were powerless to prevent.
Information of the event was brought to the
Franklin street police station, and Captain
Kennedy, of the Sixth precinct, with large
force of police, was promptly on hand, and
succeeded in restoring order, so that the thea
tire was cleared without further accident.

A.Shocking Massacre.
Wholesale Butche,y of Je,0s By caristiana--
Thousands Of Hen, Women, and Children
Slaughtered IN Cold Blood.

OoNsTANTINoPLE, June IA fearful war
of religious intolerance has broken out In
Roumelia, a metropolitan province of the
Turkish empire in the south-of Europe.
For some time the native, Christians have
manifested spirit of fearful yindictiveness
against the Jewish population, who have en-
deavored in vain to obtain from. the. Govern
ment some protection against outrage and ex-
tortion, A secret movement has been in or
ganization for some time for the extermina-
ton of the inoffensive Jews, and the deep and
deadly hatred of the bigoted populace has
only, been slumberiDg, awaiting vent for its
fury.
On Sunday last by preeoncerted signal.
the Christian populace rose, and the fearful
work of butchery was inaugurated.
Atan early hour the houses of all Jews were
invaded, and those of the occupants who were
unable to escape were massacred in cold blood.
The fleeing Israelites were pursued through
the town by an armed mob and murdered
wherever caught Men, women, and children.
were ruthlessly slain.
The fury of the populace, infamed with
religious bigotry, only exhausted itself for
want of victims.
THOUSANDS OF PERSONS SLAUGHTERED.
In all the principal towns the fearful work
of butchery prevailed, and thousands of men,
women, and children of the repugnant class
were butchered in cold blood. The work of
slaughter still goes on in the interior, and
nothing has been heard yet of any movement
by the authorities to suppress it.
The reigning Prince is absent from. the
Province and advantage was taken of this to
complete the total determination of all Jews
from the Province. Prince Charles is hur~
rying home, and energetic measures will at
once be taken by the Sultan to suppress this
religious emeute. Meanwhile the fury of the
mob continues undated, finding fresh victims
to glut its insatiate frenzy. ~
