SHENANDOAH RIVER INTERCHANGEABLE
the meeting OF the board of supervisors, held
last week for the purpose of auditing accounts
against the county, the board was petitioned to
subscribe $1,000 towards improving the Shen-
aDdoat River from the Jefferson county line
to Castleman's Ferry for the passage Of fiat
boats. Jefferson county has already, or is now
engaged io making these river improvements
from Harpers Ferry to the Clarke line. The
board of supervisors decided that they had 20
power to make such subscription without an
authorization by vote of the people OF the
county to do So
Private subscriptions have been made BY
some of our enterprisng farmers towards these
improvements, and it is claimed that the addl
tioual aid asked for, invested as desired, would
afford large savings in the cost Of transporta-
ton. = Clarke Courier.

SAD We noticed on the cars coming up
from Harrisonburg the other day, a pretty
faced young woman who was being conveyed
by her husband and father to the Lunatc Asy-
lum at this place. She is from Page county,
but her name we did not learn. She was in
cessautly humming nursery distitches, incohe-
rently, and waving her hands as though some
thing was passing in the air before her, with
her eyes turned upwards aud her head gently
noddiDg recognition Of the passing object
her diseased mind had fanced. We learned, on
inquiry, that she had lost her child and that
sickness and grief had so affected her as to
dethrone reason. Her face wore a constant
smile, and but for the wild glare of the eyes,
she presented more the appearance Of oue
overcome with some raptuous joy than the vic.
tim of crushing sorrow.- Stauuton Fugn-

PERSONALITIES.

Premier Gladstone has, il is said, caIl-
toned Mr.. Arch to beware of using again
such threatening language as he uttered
lately at Bradford, England, where he said
that if Parliament were not careful of the
cause of the farm labOrers he would lead
100000 of them even to the gates Of st.
Stephen.
Among the records of the year is one
that of the Coroner's sOffice-which contains
two very suggestive and strongly contrast
ing items. One is deaths by "homicide," !"
fifty-six-a little more than one each week.
The other is. deaths by judicial hang
ing" two. Comment is unnecessary
Ne'V York Times.
A correspondent of the Boston Herald
says he is surprised to read of Charles Sum
ner calling the Puritans ''the founders of
liberty on this continent" He says that,
upon landing at Plymouth Rock, they lost
no time in planting the tree of Puritan as
tendency and religious prescription; that
their early history is a record of persecution
of other sects; and finally, that the name
Puritan should be construed to mean all
that is moclling and hypOcritical. Having
written this, and signed his name to it, he
had better move out of Boston.
The Washington Star says that Gen.
Mcclellan received distinguished attention
while in Paris. He was given prominent
seat when he attended the French Assem-
bly, by invitation, and at the trial of
Bazaine was also treated as a guest deserv-
ing the highest consideration. OF the lat
ter tribunal, Gen. Mcclellan writes that it
was a most dignified court, and its pro
ceedings appeared 10 be conducted with a
strict regard to the demands of justice.
The Orleans Princes on Gen. McClellan's
staff during his command of the army
shown him great attention.
General Custar reports that in three
months, while on the Yellowstone Expedi-
tiOn, he killed, with a single rifle, forty-One
antelopeS, four bufIaiOes, four elks, four
bucktail deer, three American deer and two
white wolves, besides geese, prairie chick
ems, and other feathered gamein large num-
berS. He also says that the average dis
tance at which the forty-one antelOpeS were
brought down exceeded two hundred t1d
fifty yards by actual measurement, and that
be rarely obtained a shot at an antelope un-
derOne hundred and fifty yards, while the
range extended from that distance up to
six hundred and thirty yards.
