RECEPTION ROOM AT THE DEpcT.-Atlast work
men are engaged in digging the foundation for
the erection of ladies' reception room at the
Depot in this place. We think, however, they are
cutting the cloth most too small. From the d.
mension of the foundation, we are inclined to the
opinion that it will not be more than half as lare
as it should be. In the summer season. when
travel is brisk, it win not be more than room
enough to furnish half Of those who will really
need the shelter.

much travel over the Parnassus road leading to
Staunton, as any other in the county. long
residence there impress g us with the imperative
necessity of having a Bridge there for the con-
venience and accommodation of the public. If
our information be correct that the Supervisors
intend to select that point then commend
them for the judgment and wisdom of their decis
ion. There is no crossing the River where a
greater number of the people would be accommo
dated-heavy tax-paying citizens, too.

MAJ. P II. WoopwARD.-We failed to notice

connection of Maj. P. H. Woodward, with the
Fountain Hotel, Baltimore. Major W. is too
well known in the Valley to require any com
mendaton from US as first cass Hotel man.
His large experience, urbane manners, tireless
energy, and extensive acquaintance combine to
make him valuable acquisition to any public
House, and we are satisfied the Fountain will feel
the force of this, as long as he remains there. Il
is not generally known that Major W. is in Ba't-
more, but when the fact is generally circulated,
there will be very few from this portion of the
Valley who will not give him call when they
visit the Monumental city.
