CHESAPEAKE AND OHIO RAILROAD
MATTERs.-Colonel Witcomb, the chief
engineer of the road, has just now gone to
Huntington to superintend the construc-
ton of a mammoth grain elevator. The
time for celebration of the opening of the
Church Hill tunnel has not yet been de-
cided on, but it is not far off, for the track
layers are now hard at It and it is probable
that in fifteen days more the work will be
entirely completed and cars will be ena-
bled to pass through successfully.

ELECTRIcITY.-There is q possibility
that electricity will take the place of rem
net, and work as well. Authorities say
that electricity will coagulate milk even
faster than rennet, and cheese-maker, who
claims to have used it for the purpose of
cheese manufacture, says he has found the
curd made by it to cure into fine favored
cheese. He reports it as having extraordi-
nary efficiency in reducing the curd cheese,
but it did not restore the flavor that was
lost by the removal of the cream. 1t was
said to have just the flavor which the milk
in its SKINNED or unskimmed condition
would produce.

SUSPENSION OF THE PETERSBURG
BANKs-EFFECT HERE. Some uneasi-
ness was felt here this morning upon the
announcement Of the suspension Of the
Petersburg banks, and for several hours
numbers of persons could be seen gathered
at the street corners in the neighborhood
oil our banks. Those of an enquiring
mind boldly approached the presidents
of the different banking institu-
tions, and swere informed that
there was no cause for uneasiness
as far as our banks were concerned. One
of our prominent financiers asserted in re-
sponse to an inquiry "that the Richmond
banks were as sound as dollar" As
soon as it became known that our banks
were not interested to any extent with
those of Petersburg, better feeling at once
prevailed. All Of our banks have been
transacting business as usual to-day, and
so far as we have been able to learn no
cause of anxiety need be anticipated in
regard to their solvency.
As an evidence of confidence felt in the
security of our banks, we will state
that Collector Burgess deposited with the
Planters National bank $19, ,s74.45, being
the amount of to-day's collections of inter-
nal revenue in this district.

Gus came yesterday, and it certainly con-
quered. At an early hour the country
population began to pour into town, and by
IL o'clock Main street, from Seventh to
Twelfth, was filled with dense mass of
people. The procession was success, the
steam piano being the greatest attraction.
The afternoon performance was attended
by fully five thousand persons, and the at
tendance at night was very large. The
animals attracted but little attention, every
body bestowing their favors IN the per-
formance in the ring, which was of supe-
rior character. The day passed off without
accident or incident worth reporting, and
the proprietors of the Great Eastern were
doubtless pleased with the day. result"
