ANOTHER SURVEY CONTAMINATED -
1t is said that the Directors Of the B. x
o. Railroad company, in order 10 short
en- their liae as much % possible, con-
template running line on the Old aad
original survey, which was made about
the year 1886, running from lIarpers
Ferry to point near North Mountain,
thereby shortening their line st leas! Ten
miles, leaving Msr,insburg 10 the left. 1t
is intended to run the express trains only
upon the short line. We would like
very much 10 see the new line brought
into effect, from the fact that It would
be OF great advantage 10 the Z. ~ y.
railroad company, as well as to the
Shenandoah Valley railroad company,
at this point. There are two railroad
companies in Pennsylvania contem-
plating connection with the Shenandoah
Valley railroad at this point, by COM
ing through Washington county, Md,
which would be advantageous 10 both
these companies. We hope the matter
will be seriously as well as favorably
considered by the B. d .. railroad
company.-Shtpherdstown Register.

A thrilling snake story is going the

Baker, Esq, about seven miles from
town. When about half way up they
stopped at the well known cave, and
di,mounted for the purpose OF making
an exploration. They went in, after
Mr.. Fisher had gone IN, and reported
the way clear. After walking about
and satisfying their curiosity, they
determined to sit down and li.ten for
sounds OF mother earth. Taking 6
seat on rock they commenced chat
ting and laughing, when suddenly,
from the crevices Of the wall large
rattle snake cravled towards them.
1t went directly over the skirts Of Miss
Turley's dress, only about two iLches

der feelings, which, when operating upon
mihds destitute Of Hamlei's mobile and
most sovereign reason" and when torn
from the object round which they cling.
are apt to dethrone judgment from her
seat.
The story is told that. bv the side Of
one of those beautiful and romantic lakes
which are to be found in the western OK.
tremity of Ballard county, a Young GIRL i
sometimes seen tripping her way among
the mystic shadows Of cedar and cypress
through deadly vines and shaggy grass
where serpents Turk and gaunt wolves
haunt. In the winter too. she fingers
about the matted hedge of the lake. and
mlngles her moaning voice with the sob
bing OF the old oaks that have so long
sighed with the burden of autumnal winds
hey nave even put a song in her mouth.
ana the plalntive wall is heard whenever
the ram falls fast, and when the streams
swell high and grow angry, and the waves
OF the storm chafed lake beats ferceIy
against Its shore. Long wears AGO this
mald, whose ghost now turks like an ell
hsh hgure about the boughs and foliage
OF trees, was bright, blooming and happy.
ohe was loved by young man, and on
one occasion, when her fathers house
was threatened by Indians, the Young
hero, VINO lived across the lake. heard
her cries, entered boat and started 10
the rescue. a tempest was raging. and
the lake chafed angrilv with its steep
shores. The rain tell fast. and the large
currents of water came pouring down
from the bluffs with all the clamor of the
cataract and fury of spray. But the un-
daunted lover launched his boat and
started over the rough expanse of water.
his little craft was thrown about like n
bladder upon the seething surface, and
the llghtnings quivered along the froth- /
ing foam, which was whipped into watery
shreds by the wind. The maid stood on
the opposite shore, and with clasped /.
hands prayed for the safety of one who /
was so brave and devoted in her cause;
But the boat went down in the turbid flood. /.
And the form of the youth was lost;
And thus IL is that her signing soul
Is ever by the wild winds tossed.
This beautiful and touching story is
given for the benefit of our young and \
gifted poets, and it is to be hoped that .
they Will rescue the legend from oblivion, 4
ard perpetuate the memory of the maid (
whose reason was shattered by the blow
of the cruel wave that swallowed up her
lover, and who at once plunged into the
watery grave that engulfed him. 1t is n
proper theme, either for spirit-stirring
song or passionate story, and we hope
the rising bards OF Kentucky will not
fail to appreciate the value Of a sugges-
ton because gratuitously given, or think
the subject unworthy Of their fine frenzy.
We have number Of Young men in the
office whom we can hardly restrain, so
touching are the mournful circumstances
connected with the nut-brOwn maid of
Ballard. While it is certain they would
