thar the contractors on the Shenandoah Valley
railroad have been notified to hold themselves
in readiness to commence operation in Jan.

stock.
We understand that the recent purchasers

entire confidence in the renewal of the work
in January, and are now making their prep.
arations to recommence their furnace. Those
who have the right to speak are perfectly con-
fi'ient that the Shenandoah Valley road will
be butt, and that pretty soon.

ES A correspondent Of the Morgan Wer-
curry, writing from Charleston, says:
politics is at q low ebb here now. and
nothing seems to disturb the serenity of the
lately troubled ''pool," if I may except the
number of aspironts looming up for U. s.
Senator. among whom have frequently heard
the names of Hons. e. J Faulkner and VIM.
ii. Travers One thing is dead sure, in
choosing, the Legislature certainly could go
further and fare worse, as either one of them
would be ornaments to the position, and a
credit to our little State"

OUR NEW COUNTY JAIL.

The Shepherdstown Registcr-which ex-
hibted such remarkable zeal in calling atten-
ton to and making Juror over the report of
committee on the county Jail to the last term
of the Circuit Court-in the publication of the
proceedings of tho County Court in its last
issue, by curious OMISSION fails to say one
word in regard to the report of the committee
appointed by the latter body. This Court at
its session last week, appointed Messrs j. G..
Cockrell, John r. Henkle aud Meredith
Helm, members Of its OVID body, committee
to examine the condition of the Jail, &c, and
in their repor: we end the following clause:
eve are of the opinion that, as far as the
prison part of the Jail has gone, that it is
perfectly safe and secure"
We wonder how this report will strike the
editor of tho Register? Rather explicit, We
think.
ES- The tea party to commemorate the
historical event which occurred 10 Boston
horbor one hundred years ago, arranged for
by the ladies of tho Centennial Ward Com
mi,'ee. came off in Philadelphia on Wednes>
day night. 1t is estimated that ten thousand
persons were present. The entertainment con.
sisted of tea drinking in Horticultural Hall.
where tables were arranged, beautifully deco

GINA, and James II. Campbell, of Phil

Martha Washington style, were present.
Ess- The special election on Tuesday last
in Pennsylvania, has resulted in the adoption
of the new Constitution by an immense ma>

State is an indication that brighter days are

PARAGRAPHlCAL.

Nashvillians are extensively known for
their moderation and ferVent desire to 60
through life peaceably and quietly, but that
they are becoming thoroughly disguised
with the style OF weather that has been
dealt out to this section Of country for
few weeks past, is demonstrated by the
writer having heard on the streets yesterday
mysterious hints of proposed lynching of
"Old Probs." That individual will do well
to remember that there are cases wherein
forbearance ceases to be virtue.
A couple Of gentlemen were visiting Mt.
Olivet Cemetery Sunday afternoon, and in
the course of their wanderings discovered
a pump, and as they were very dry, one of
them seized the handle of that pump
with vigor aud his right hand, and
began turning It. He turned
until that hand got tired, hut as he noticed
the chain was wet, he knew that there was
water in that vicinity, and, Oh angling haSds,
he worked away energesically. Then his
left hand got tired, but as the ssturn .rn was
raised to the habits of industry in his youth,
be did not despair but seized that handle
with both hands aud "settled down to biz"
and then it was that nice little boy who
had been standing GEAR, watching the per-
| IOTlQduCc Will aUsOIOluS lubcTcSt, hl1uly
told the gentleman of industrious habits
that he'd get water sooner 'if he'd turn that
are handle tother wsy.n And the boy was
right.
| If The eccentric female described in the
following clipping, were patronizing Nash

she would find her winter clothing some

street car ghost in Detroit. 1t is in the
shape of won D, dressed in winter cloth

She does not appear when there are any
other passengers, and always takes the last
car at night, when it is empty. She comes
on rustling at the same placs every night,
and rides half dozen squares, If let alone.

John jones' olive branches praLced
around on the roof Of the premises occupied
by Minerva Vaughn, colored, shaking the
dust down upon the clothes that estimable
woman had hung up to dly. Then
Minerva Vaughn praDced cut
and made those olive branches
"dust out o'that," Vhereupon Mr.. Jones
demonstrated with Minerva, using Ratchet
as lis principal argument in inducing her
to stop in her pursuit of the olive branches.
Said principal argument didn't make any
impression upon Mrs. Vaughn, because she
interposed chair as a shield, but the i'm
preston produced on the chair is lasting
one, plainly showing that had it rot been
for the chair, the industrious Minerva
would have at onc9 departed to laud

him, and he was discharged.
