the railroad when surveyed. Some

away at the work on the supposed site
of the Big Sandy Railroad bridge.
Another summer with its low water is

thing being done in the way of laying

as to what they intend to do, and
whether crops will be injured by con-

located this year, is answered by
mysterious shakes of the head, and that
people who refused to Luild railroad
with their own money and then give it
to C. p. Huntington l. Co., have no
business to ask questions &c.
Business has again opened pretty
brisk here, four saw mills, one foundry,
one machine shop, two tannerics and
one Touring mill are in full blast in the

From the Herald.

Wednesday morning Of last week
some excitement was created in this
place by the intelligence that the
corpse of a woman had been found
just below town. James r. Ford, Esq,
sum moned jury and proceeded to
the place and held an inquest in con-
fornity with the law, the finding Of
which we publish elsewhere. As to
the name Of the deceased there seems
to be no doubt, but as to the place Of
residence there arc conflicting state
ments. We learn that she was . re-
spectacle woman, but was subject to
fits, and when under their influence
would often stroll of from home and
wander about until found and taken
care of. The presumption is, that
while thus deraDged she came to this
place, passing through here on Mon
day, and being refused lodging below
town remained out all night, as she
was seen ia the neighbcrhood on
Tuesday, and that she took aspasm
when near the brink Of the bank, fell
over it and expired. The body vas
identified as that of Mary Ballard
late of Mud River Putnam County
West Va.
Lewis o. Spencer returned from
college at GAINESVILLE, Tennessee, on
Saturday last.
Hon. r. Apperson, Jr,, late Judge
of this Judicial District, wasin town

The body Of Boy Keyser, whose
drowning off the Telegraph was repor-
ted in last weeks paper, was found
near Fosters Landing, and brought to
this place by his friends for intcrneut
Thursday ne1tis Commencement
day at the Chapel Of the Normal
School. The programme has been
printed and promises a rich treat. Of
course all will attend, from the oldest
to the youngest.
The many friends Of Captain James
Allen, for several years resident OF

The GUYANDOTTE BRIDGE is Just be-
coming a question of some moment to
the people of Huntington, 'Guyandotte
and surrounding country. The original
cost of the bridge was $4,000. The
State Of Virginia owned three ffthS,
and private stock holders two ffths of
the stock-but during the late war,
West Virginia legislated her old mother
State out of her interest, and as
usual Cabell County very soon legisla-
ted the stock away from West Virginia.
Now as this great impediment to free
communication between GuyandOtte
and Huntington, cost our State moth
ing. aud cost our county still less than
uothing-we see no good reason why
il should not be turned over TO the
people as free bridge. The private
stock can be purchased for four or five
thousand dollars. This work should
commence at once. thus preparing pub
lie high way, free for all in the very
center Of the most densely populated
portion Of our country.
Then with fine Court House at an
intermediate point between these
aourisbinc ploces-say on Sd avenue
and Goth street. \ prosperous future
and mutual friendship would seize upon
the people Of Cabcl. in general. and
Huntington and Guyaudotte in parti-
GUAR.
