OUR RAILROAD.
80 NEZlss@Essaz5H5;z;jll

Since Monday last Col. Barrett, Sec
ond Engineer Of the Shenandoah Valley
Railroad, with his corps, has been bust
" at work locating the route upon
which the Road will be built. He
commenced locating the road at the Pc
tomac, at this place, and proceeded to-
wards Charlestown. For further in
formation of this important step we
clip the following article from the
Charlestown Spirit of Tuesday last
Yesterday force of Engineers, at
tached to the Shenandoah Valley Rail
road Company, and under the lead of
Colonies Barrett and Stewart, left this
place for the neighborhood Of Shep-
herdstown with aview Of finally locating
the line of this important work. 1t IS
their purpose to establish their head
quarters some three miles this side of
Shepherdstown, to which point their
camp equipments were transferred ON
Monday last. We learn from these
gentlemen that a large working force
will be placed at once on the line be-
tween Shepherdstown and Charlestown,
and that the process of construction
will be pressed without delay and with
the utmost energy. Lumber for the
erection Of the necessary buildings for
the accommodation Ofthe wOrkmen has
already arrived at 4 landing on the
Shenandoah River. This We believe to
be the beginning in earnest Of opera
tons on this most desirable work Of in
ternal Improvement, and we trust that
the day is not for distant when the rich
fruits to be derived from this enterprise.
will be rcapcd by the people Of our
county and Valley
We hardly deem it necessary to urge
upon our citizens the duty OF affordin@
every facility in their power to the
company and its agents in the prosccu
ton of the work in hand This we are
sure will be done freely and with pleas
ure. Let all cooperate checrtully, and
the good effects of such a policy upon
the best interests ofthc county will soon
be manifested.
We understand there will be meet
inc Of the directors OF the company held
at Philadelphia on Wednesday 18th,
when President Scott will doubtless un-
fold his plans for future operations.
An election will take place in Clarke
CouLty on Thursday next, the 2Sth in
slant, when the people will be called up
on to vote on tn question of subscrib
ing 100000 to the Shenandoah Valley
Railroad, and Of waving the route by
Bcrryvillc conditioned in the subscrip-
ton made to the Loudoun d Ilamp-
shire road in 1885.
p. S.-Betorc going to press we learn
that the meeting Of the Directors at
Philadelphia, on Wednesday, Col. T.
A. Scott, President, presiding, resulted
iayorably, and that arrangements were
made to push the work at once. The
next meeting of the directors will take
place at Front Royal on the Goth of
June.

Scy- PERsoxAL.-We regret to part
with c. Z. Stubs, Esq, Attorney-at-
Law, who has been q citizen Of this
place during the past six years. Mr..
Stubs filled the Office of Prosecuting
Attorney, for this county, several terms,
and was also elected to the last Legisla-
ture By large vote. lie has returned
to his home in Pennsylvania where he
will remain short time, from thence he
will gowcst to embark in his profession
al business. He leaves many warm
friends here, who will always feel
deep interest in his future welfare.
Oar old friend, Frank T. Ray, of
New York, has been sojourning here, "in
the land of his BIRTH for several days
past. He is looking exceedingly hand
some, and seems to enjoy 'lite's viciss'-
tudes" with a considerable degree Of
par excellence. We are glad to learn
that he has entered into large con
tract with the municipal authorities OF
New York City, to furnish them with
several hundred thousand pieces Of tim
Der for the purpose Of building Docks
within the city limits, and has now a
large number ofhands employed upon
his timber land in Northumberland
County, Va, i'll cutting and shipping
the timber to that city.
Our sanct,m door was darkened with
the appearance of another old and partlc-
ular friend, on Wednesday last, Mr..
Henry Stonebraker, Of Baltimore, the
great patent medicine man, and founder
of the celebrated preparations known rs
Stonebraker's medicines Mr. 5. was
looking exceedingly well, and was as
cheerful as a Robin upon an apple tree.
His medicines are meeting with an in
creased demand all over the country,
and we know of no one more deserving
of success than he He knows no such
word as fail, as his late triumph over his
enemies will so fully testify.

By ATrACKED.-On Saturday night
last about eleven o'clock, whilst Mr..
George Yontz was returning home, and
when passing the corner on Mill Street,
a man whom he did not recognize, ow-
ing to the darkness OF the night, appear
ed suddenly from behind the residence
Of Mrs. Staley, and made several strikes
at him with large knife, and luckily
succeeded only in cutting through Mr..
Yontz's left coat sleeve Mr.. Yontz
Immediately drew his pistol and fired
two shots at the asSailant, but without
effect, who ran up the street and made
his escape. Mr.. Iontz has some sus-
picions as to who the assailant was, and
this circumstance should induce persons
to he on the alert when out late at night
for such characters.

Ig- COOP PRoSrEcr.-lt we have
good crops to sell this year, the appear
ance now is that a great demand will be
found in Europe for all that we can
spare. Whatever stock of grain may
have remained over from last year is
now being rapidly shipped off to distant
lands, and it is probable that before the
new crop shall have come i'll there will
be little old wheat left, and still less
corn.

pG- SHALL NEGROES PAY TAXEs.-
The Constitution of the State of West
Virginia provides in Section of Arti-
Gle VII, that "a capitation tax of one
dollar shall be levied upon each 'chife
male inhabitant who has obtained the
age of twenty-one years" Under this
the negroes are exempt from capitation
tax. They will continue to enjoy this
exemption while the present Constitu-
ton remains in force. Those who are
in favor Of perpetuating their special
privileges and exemptions will oppose a
Convention to amend the Constitution.
Those who think that the blacks should
bear their proportion Of taxation will
favor Constitutional Convention.

p&- CURE FOR PoIsoN.-A standing
antidote for poison by dew, poison oak,

lime, dissolve in water, let it stand half
an hour, then paint the poisoned parts
with it. Three or fourapplications will
never fail to cure the most aggravated
cases. Poison from bees, hornets, spi-
der bites, etc, is instantly arrested by
the application of equal parts of com
mon salt and bicarbonate. of soda, well
rubbed, in on the place bitten or stung.
