Proposed Injunction Against General
Wahone'S Railway Consolidation.

A bill for an injunction against the Viz
eina and Tennessee Railway Company, and
it's president Gen. Malone, was filed in
Richmond on the End in the United States
Circuit Court by Jas. e. Tyson of Baltimore,
a nonresident stockholder charging the con,
solicitation of that road with others to be IL
legal and unconstitutional; that the presi-
dent ond officers propose to issue bonds for
$S,000.000. securing the same upon the
consolidated roads and their earnings, includ,
ing the Virginia and Tennessee, Southside
and Norfolk and Petersburg roads, under the
name Of the Atlantic, Mississippi and Ohio
Railroad Company. The bill charges that
any such use of the said roads and property
is illegal. and destructive of the rights of the
stockholders, as the carrying out Of the con
solicitation act in other respects The bill
therefore prays for an injunction against any
act to carry out such consolidation, and es-
pecaly the issuing and selling of bonds, and
securing the same by lien upon the stock
Judge Bond has passed an order for the in
junction on the Goth inst, in Richmond
which by the practice Of the court operates
as restraining order until the hearing.

THE GREAT MEDICINE OF THE WORLD.


Perry Davis & Sons "PAIN KILLEh," may most
justly be styled the great medicine of the world
for there is no region of the globe into which it
has not found its way, and none where it has not
long been Largely used and highly priced. More
over there is no cline to which it has not proved
to be well adapted for the cure of a considerable
variety of diseases; it is a speedy and safe rem
edy for burns, scalds, cuts, bruises, wounds and
various other injuries as well as for dysentery,
diarrhea and bowel complaints generally it is
admirably suited for every race of men on the
face of the globe.
1t is very significant fact, that Hotwithstand
ing the long period of years that The pain Kill
ler' has heen before the world, it has never lost
one whit Of its popular ty or shown the least sign
of becoming unpopular; but on the contrary, the
call sor it has steadily increased from its first dis
coyery by that excellent and honored man, Perry
Davis. and at no previous times has the demand
for it been great, the quantity made been SO
large, as it is this day.
Another significant fact is that nowhere has
the Pain Killer ever been in higher repute. or
been more generally used by families and indi-
viduals. than it has been here at home where 1t
was first disco7ered and introduced. and where
its proprietors. Messrs. Perry Davis & Son, have
ever been held in high esteem, That the Pain
Killer will continue to be, what we have styled
it, the great madeleine Of the acorld. there cannot be
the sho low of o doubt.--Providence Advertiser.

TRUST WHAT TIAiE HAS SANCTIONED.

TRUST WHAT TIME HAS SANCTIONED.
The maxim that the voice of the people is the
voice of the divinity, may in some cases, be open
to doubt, but the testimony ofhonest and enlight-
ened witnesses extending through series OF
years. and all to the same purport, is worthy OF
credence, admins of no question. Upon such testi-
mony the reputation of Hestetters Stomach Bit
ters as an antidote and cure for many ailments is
based During the twenty years that it has been
before the world, innumerable preparations In
tended to compete with it, have gone up Like rock
cts, and come down like the extingaished sticks.
Meanwhile the progress Of that Incompatible
tonic has been swift and steady-always upward
and onward like the eagles flight. Its introduc
ton produces revolution in therapeutics, and 1t
has proved to be ore OF those salutary revolutions
that cannot go backwards. To day Hostettei $
Bitters is one of the most popular remedies IN
christendom, and commands larger sale than
any other medicinal preparation, domestic or i'm
ported, on this side Of the Atlantic As cure
for dyspepsia. bilious disorders, nervous affec-
tions, general debility, and as preventive of ep-
idemic feyers, 1T takes precedence of every other
remedy This fact should teach the ambitious
country dealers who endeavor to foist their local
abortions on the public in its stead, how futile
their small attempts to cajole the community
must necess arily be. Where the game fish have
failed there is no chance for the s.suckers."

failed to secure passage through the SEN

have decided that this can be punished by

be sustained by the government here to the

Observation-Disclosures calling us to our

friends and acquaintances from different portions
of the county,) we happened there at very
busy time The U. S. District Court, the County
Circ1it Court, the Loyal Claims Court a meeting
of the Conservative party, and a Convention of
the Republican party, all engaged the attention
of the people in one day. 1t was busy day
last Monday Numerous strangers, both white
and black, were in attendance The hotels and
bar rooms were crowded, the streets flooded with
human beings: and every hing wore the impress
of animation and excitement.
Harrisonburg, with all her faults is a rare old
town. Improvements constantly being made
in various portions of it. The commodious and
handsome three story building, on the square,
erected by Messrs. Sibert u Long, and the two
story building Of Mr.. Switzer, add greatly to the
appearance of the place.
The citizens somewhat concerned about the
route the Valley Railroad will take. They gen
