The Proposed PIEDMONT AND PoToMAc
RAILRoAD-SURvEY ACROSS THE BLUE
RIDGE Durlug the past sum
mer the engineers of the Piedmont and Pc
tolnac Railroad Company have been engaged
IN surveying route for the proposed road
across the Blue Ridge According to the
terms of the charter the read is to leave the
Potomac river or near Georgetown, cross the
Blue Ridge at Thornton's Gap, pass through
Luray, In Page county, and nsve on to
Stanton. The city Of Washington voted to
accept 100000 of the bonds of the compa-
ny when the latter shall have expendedS1,-
Oc0,000 upon the work. A correspondent
Of the Baltimore sun, writing from sperry-
vile, Rappahannock county, Va, says:
GAS the company is said to be a very pow
erful one, having aouey headquarters in New
York, working mainly New York capital and
bent on beasIng all existing competition in
the matter of western freights, there seems TO
be no doubt that the iuitiatory million will be
forthcoming. The president, Mr.. Sheerer,
vino spent part Of the summer here with Chief
Engineer Pryor and his corps replied to in
terrogatories of the people by assuring them
oh0t tA0 1oaU WoClu CeItdluly UC pullt II
Colonel Pryor could find place to put it, ;
and Colonel Pryor has certainly found the
place. Up to the begixning of the survey
the idea Of passing the great barrier of the
2 Blue Ridge in this quarter without TUNE
was looked upon by many as preposterous-
But the engineers have surveyed and staked
off a route along the side Of the ridge from
the vicinity Of Flint Hill, in this county, fol-
a distance OF ten or, twelve miles up grade
of fifty feet to thu mile, through Thornton
Gap, where fifty foot cut is to be made
then for about twenty five miles along the
western side Of the ridge, on grade Of only
twenty feet TO the mile, down to Conrad's
Store, in Rockingham county. This, how
ever will not take the road to Luray, in &C
cordsnce With the terms Of the charter, blu
this difficulty, it is proposed, will be met b.
the construction Of branch road to thai
place. The road, it is stated, is to have
double track, and to be frst-class in all re-
spects through its entire length. Connect
ing with the Chesapeake and Ohio road a
Seaunton. the line to the West will be com
plete. The latter road will be finished to the
Ohio river in October"

ABoY OF SEVEN MURDERS A GIRL OF
FIVE YEARs.-The New Albany (Ind }
ledger, of September 18th, says On last
Sunday afternoon the people of Lexington,
Scott county, were horriiod at the announce
mept that little son of Nj. Hugh Lotus, of
that place, only seven years old, had shot a
daughter of Jerry Chandler at the teuder age
of FIVE years. They were together in room
at Loftus's house. Young Lotus said he
would kill the little girl, when she ran away,
subsequently, returned, when the young fiend
deliberately took up shot gun and fred, fill
ing the poor little girls stomach with sluss.
She survived until last Monday, when she
died at about Daylight The above is sub
stantia.ly what the little girl stated after the
terrible tragedy. A resident of Lexington
states that it was not many days previous to
this that he saw young Lotus in a stab'e
trying to ge. the little girl to put her arm
Under the blade Of the cutting machine, in
order that he might cut it off This certain
ly is the most shocking case of naturally
depraved and bloodthisty taste we ever re.
corded. and one that seems to amount to a
monomania.

upon new beginners. The printers will send
new beginner to ueishboring Office for a
quart of editorial; the harness or shoema-
kcr will send them for strap-oil; the watch
maker for wheel Of time, &c, but the lat
est and most amusing one was that Of new
clerk being instructed by one Of the older
clerks to count a key of nails. TIE order
was promptly obeyed, but when he found it
vas joke, he got his back up and hreat-
encd to nail the first one that attempted to
repeat the joke between the eyes. That
