James River aud Knbawha Canal


The regular annual session Of the
stockholders ofthe James river and VIr-
ginia Kanawha canal met in Richmond
on Saturday. The report OF the presi'
dent, C. S. Darlington, showed that the
receipts for the fiscal year, ending Sep
tember 50, 1878, were $l55,370 &c; ex-
penses, s97,394 IS. The report alludes
to the Senate committee on tranapor-
tation, and concludes as follows:
The surveys Of your line by the gen.
eral government have been made under
appropriations by Congress in 1870
and the two appropriations oflS72, and
the reports of these surveys show its
definite location in every part of its en-
tire length and the estimates OF the cost
of its construction. The full information
furnished by these reports will be be-
fore the Congress of the United States
at it's next session, and the question OF
the completion of this central water
line by the general government, with the
con cessions made and the conditions
indicated in the memorials OF the States
OF Virginia and West Virginia, will
probably be decided by that body.
Mr.. Darlington was reelected presi.
dent Col. Henry Cabell, director 70.
the State, and Charles w. Antrim, OF
Lexington, Virginia, director on the
part OF the stockholders. The board Of
public works appointed Messr9. Frank

TIE MtcM,yeacIr Yesterday morning
in discussing what we are to DO with
the Pittsburgh, Wheeling and Ken
;acky railroad, suggested that it be
turned over 10 the Baltimore and Ohio
Company for the purpose Of establish
ing an opposition line between Wheel
ing and Pittsburgh. The 7. w. e X.
enterprise seems 10 lie one OF those un-
dcrtakipss that are capable Of being sup
ported by contradictory arguments and
contrary motives. The Subscrip-
lions Of stock were solicited
upon the ground that the new
road would antagonize the Baltimore
and Ohio irhuence and, by virtually
bringing the Pennsylvania Central TO
cur doors, establish o competing line to
the Eastern cities. The Pennsylvania
Company having failed to justify our
expectations it is now discovered that,
in the hands OF the Baltimore and Ohio
road, the new road will be able to
compete with the Pennsylvania folks
and confer incaIculable benefits upon
the trade OF our city and county. II
seems to be q sort of patent, reversible
hack action affair that is just as good
on one side as on Tie other and perhaps
little better.

SENATOR FOREMAN is like JOHN Gill;
PINS wife in that while bent on pleas
ure he has "a frugal mind" His reso.
luton in the Senate the other day con-
templated the expenditure OF only
Eight Million Dollars for the complies
ton OF the James River and Kanawha
Canal. OF course the sum is "a mere
bagatelle" In comparison with the vast
advantages to accrue from the compile
ton of the work in question, and the
United States government can wei
afford the outlay. Certainly there will
be none 50 base as to inquire whether
eight million dollars will be sufficient
to complete the vast water way be-
tween the Ohio river and the James
and no Senator will be so far rorgetful
of the duty he owes to the nation at
large as 10 inquire, whether the sum pro-
posed will be one-baii or one-sixth o.
what the engineers have estimated as
necessary for the construction Of the
canal.
Mr.. FOREMAN may thus acquire, un-
der a modest bill which proposes to
give the very humble sum Of eight
millions OF dollars, credit for
the patronage Of bill whose ulti-
mate fulflment will require the dis
bursement OF what everybody knows
cannot fall short O! fifty millions, but
OF course Senator FOREMAN knows
which side Of his bread is buttered,
and knows what figures the Senate
wilhaccept, and what will make the
most buncombe in West Virginia.

The Human Kitchen and ITS Dumb
Walters.

The body is supplied with allment by
vessels which connect the stomach and its
auxliaries with the venous system, and, so
to speak, perform the office OF dumb walters
in q restaurant. In other words, these
media OF communication between the ami
NAL kitchen and Its dependents supply TO
each member or organ, near or remote, the
quantity and kind OF sustenance required
TO keep IL going. When the stomach is
derelct in its duty, or the dumb walters
inert or INSTRUCTED, 1t is the peculiar pro.
vince of BoStettet's Celebrated Stomach
Bitters to strengthen and regulate them.
Hence It's marvellous cures OF chronic indi-
geStion, and the emaciatiOn, debility and
languor which are generally its concomit-
ants. Its, moreover, powerful Alternative
and corrective, the rapldity with which II
checks irregularities ofthe liver and bowels,
and braces and invigorates the nervous sys-
tenn, is II marvel, not only to the general
public, but to professional men.

pliment, add from his complimentary
OF persistins "to build railroads in the
face Of The panic" and that he had re-
Ceived notice OF en- organization of q new
road, to run from Somewhere to some
where" to connect with the Wheeling
u Lake Erie road, and called the At
lantic u SOUTHEASTERN railroad, &c.
The organization was effected for the
purpose OF building about 50 miles OF
road, and by so doing, secure the extern
sion Of the Niles & New Lisbon road to
Wheeling, over the Wheeling 4 Lake
Erie from Hopedale, the.point of inter-
section. Prominent partiee have already
proffered the iron for the road. As TO
being able TO build railroads withou.
help, both OF money and the influence
of those directly benefited, we never
presumed to do. Yours truly,

Effect of Fodder on Horned Cattle.

We find the following paragraph copied
into one of our exchanges:
Herr Nessler, the celebrated German
scientist, has recently made some curious
Investigations into the manner in which
different kinds of fodder affect the bones
of horned cattle. From analysis of the
fodder and water consumed by cattle affect
ed with brittleness of the bones, he finds
that disease is limited to granite soils, to
the junction of granite and gueiss and to
Bunter sandstone-that is to say, that these
soils affect the quality of the grass grown
on them to the detriment of their availa-
hilfittK tx @QE. grazing"
Eastern States that 'ff aflhHep derstood in the
COWS on granite and sandy soils feed 'ba 15TIry,.
meal to their stock, especially to young an
imals and those giving milk, that tba
known lack of bone material in grass
grown on poor soils may be compensated.
Cows trying to eat bones first suggested
this remarkable addition to their regular
feed. No animal can form bone of any
sort in its body without bone-earth in its
food. Diseases of the bones in man and
beast are not uncommon, nor sufficiently
understood.

The Profit of Ashes.

1t is an open question with many
whether the use of common ashes will
pay on the farm. The bearing upon this,
a correspondent sends the Rural Home
these facts:
During the year 1858, a man named
Arthur Dugan went TO the town OF Paler-
mo, Oswego county, this state, and
bought sixty acres of light, sandy land
with here and there little pertaining to
nothing about farming, being machinist
by trade, and never held pillow. After
paving for his land he had 5000 left. He
began, and found his land was worn out.
His first crops were-wheat, five bushels
per acre rye, eight bushels potatoes, sew
enty-five corn, mere nothing The second
year was even worse. He had to hire part
of his sheep pastured out, he could not
hold his own. But being a man of excel
lent judgment, and great reader, his
good Judgment, aided by theories, carried
him through. He began by buying ashes
and plaster would draw potatoes fourteen
miles to Oswego, and load his team back
with manure from the livery stables His
crops increased His ashes were spread
cOrrespondingly thick. he raised princi-
pally potatoes and wheat. Now, 1000
bushels of ashes per year is about what he
buys. HIS potatoes, for several years past,
average 80 bushels per acre his Winter
wheat, thirty bushels and over and he has
saved, from his farm alone, till he now
holds $4,000 in bank stock, and would not
sell his farm for 500 per acre. He sold, in
1868, of potatoes and wheat, over g, 300
worth. He is known as the best farmer in
his county. Yet when he began buying
ashes, old farmers shook their head and
said He will know better when he has
farmed it as much as we have."'

Grinding Corn.

The Journal Of the Farm makes a good
suggestion as follows: "Many a sOYe-fin-
gered busker has wished that his load of
corn could be shoveled direct from the
wagon into the crib, without having to
throw out portion by hand until the
shovel could reach the bottom of the
wagon. In such cases every finger is like
a false horse flinching from the collar, and
the work is only done from conviction
that there is no help for it. In loading
corn take out piece of pine board six feet
long and little wider than your shovel;
place an end on the tail board close to the
corner of the wagon, and the other on the
bottom end, fill up as usual. In unloading,
shovel down the board TO the bottom of
the wagon, and not an ear need be touched
by the hands
