about the delays which it imagines are taking
place in regard to the prosecution OF the valley

Rockbridge. within the borders of which there
is not vet a single mile of railroad With re-
card to its previous spatience that the contracts
for the line between Harrionhurg, the present
terminus, and Staunton had not been given out,
it may be stated in addition to tine assurances
heretofore afforded, that they will be awarded
to the very best ad Vantage, and there will be no
such undue haste as will preclude their being
given only to responsible parties on the lowest
terms The line beyond Staunton for some
q ghteen miles-or about half way to Lex ing
,ton-will also be ready for bidders shortly
Nearly all the individual cases involving right
of way from Staunton south to the point OF d.

isiaetoriIy arranged 4 meeting OF the Presi-

in Baltimore on the 5th of March, when it is
to be hoped that II decision may be arrived at in
regard to tie line south of this point OF diver

prosecuting the whole work, il may be added
that the surveys have been completed between

The difficulty with this financial project
is the putting it in practice. We suggest
that our patriotic liquor-sellers f Il up their
barrels with water to the extent of one part

and hand over one nineteenth of the money

The Improved Churn and Butter Worker,
called the ttGem'' of which We spoke in our
last continues to attract the attention ofour peo
people. 1t is visited daily by farmers and others
from all parts of the County who declare it to
be the most complete machine they have ever
seen. The Proprietors, Messrs. Gallup Smith,
gave practical exhibition of making butter on
Monday at P. NJ, before large number of
our best farmers Cream, furnished from the
dairy of Mr. Geo. Hanger, was churned, the
time occupied being just two minutes, and in
less than 5 minutes the butter was taken from
the churn, thoroughly worked and not drop Of
milk to be found in it, and was pronounced by
all a superior article and well worth several
cents per pound more than that made IN ordina-
~ churns. Of the quality we can speak posi-
lively, as samples of the butter are given away
every day to our citizens, we being fortunate
enough to secure plate of it. This is one of
the few out of many inventions that speak their
own pr ases more satisfactorily than all that can
be said.
We learn that some of our most enterprising
men are negotiating for the exclusive manufac-
ture and sale of this machine for the State. and
we hope such sale will be effected, as whatever
increases the business of community in the
same ratio increases its wealth and prosperity.
While Messrs. Gallup & Smith remain here
they will give an exhibition of ButGer-making
every night at the Virginia Hotel, at y o. clock
No one should fail to witness it.
