ceeds of the annual levy will enable
our Board to continue the schools, all
of which are row doing so well, until
about the first Of August, or about
ten months from the opening of the

An unfortunate coatretempS occurred
a few days ago in connection with
the initial selection for the usual win
Ter season of Musica. Soirees, which
was subject of gencrll comment and
regret by cur citizens.
On the morning train Of Friday, q
large delegation Of rural visitors ar.
rived from Charleston. They stated
that they had noticed an announce
mcnt, in the "C5wieTs% Huntington
telegraphic dispatches, of the pro
posed performance Of "C.mtGta,"
and therefore they came down and
desired to participate" 1t seems
they were under an impression that
the affair was of the nature Of a Bar
becuc,' with roast OK" and that they
had been told when Buffalo, Elk and
Bear meats were added, it was called
"Clntata" The disappointment
was very great, especially to those
who are fond Of bar meat. Our citi-
zeus took great pains to explain things,
and made the visit Of the townsmen
Of the Capital as pleasant as was pos
sible, under the circumstances. The
delegation returned to Charleston il
the evening.

IRON FURNACE.-We are glad to
say that the stock for the Blast Fur
mace at this point is almost all taken.
The part that was allotted to Hunt
ingtOn has been taken; the land is
given by the Central Land Company,
and the part to be done by others
away from here will be determined
in a few days, so that we shall know
what is the prospect for the coming
year.
There can be no doubt that a fur
mace here would have advantage over
almost any other point on the river.
Cheap ore of frst-rate quality, cheap
coal, lime &C., will enable the owners
to operate at a profit, where other
furnaces are losing money.

A GOOD IMIEOyEMENT.- The
freight incline at the Depot has been
very inconveuicnt as well as hard or
the engine, by reason OF the grade
coming up to = level on the outside
Of the D,p.;. running the cars into
the Depot on 4 level. On last sun
day. the track was entirely changed,
making tie ascent gradually to the
end of tie track, and making the
hind Wheels of the cars larger, there
by keeping the body level. BY
this means, the engine is enable
to draw them all the way to the end
of the track, thus dispensing with the
hand pulling and pushing on the lev
el.
The change was made on Sunday,
as the pressure of freight is so great
that the time could not be spared on
other days.
