ment of any importance, these same
individuals put up the price of their
land or town lots five dollars on the
acre. A community composed entire

be as lively as a graveyard.

forests. cities, pr,iries and dwellings,
in MANY places, have been injured
more or less by this destroying elc-

property have thus been destroyed.
and many human lives. A most
terrible contlagration broke out in
Chicago last Sunday. The dispatch
states that it had swept over a vast
area destroying millions of property,
and was still raging with increased
fury. While this fire was thus devas-
tatins Chicago, the news came to them
from the Northern fires, that at Pen

Journal from which these accounts

burned to death by the bursting flames
which destroyed the depot. How
terrible the pam OF Such Il death In

From all the indications, we are pleased
to state our conviction, that the difficulties,
which caused suspension Of the work
on the Shenandoah Valley Rail Road,
some weeks since, will be removed at an
early day, and the work resumed. There
should be but little cavilling among land
holders about right Of way, damages &C.,
which We learn stopped the work in the low
or Valley. Every man should be prepared
to yield little-sseri6oe little, if neces.
sary, to secure great good in the future.
What we want to develop our interests are
railroads railroads in every direction pos
sible through opr section. To our readers,
on the proposed line Of the Shenandoah Val
ley Railroad. we say give every inducement
to this road-give the right Of way. or lay
your damages very low. You can not real
~ lose, but in the end must be largely
gamers. There is great wealth to be devel-
opsd Immediately along the line Of this
road, but individual exertion may also be
necessary to induce its early construction.
Let this not be wanting to secure the road.
Each and every road constructed will add
immeasurably to the convenience and wealth
Of our people and we shall Welcome the
day when this road is completed.
