were permitted to leave on Monday morning.

has been taken. Such action is b remedy for
nething. It may be and doubtless is so, that

SUSPENSION oE Work ON THE VALLEY
RAILRoAD.-We announced last week thai .
joint meeting OF the Board of Directors of the
Valley Railroad and the contractors for the
construction of that improvement was being
held in Baltimore. The result Of the meeting
was determination on the part OK the rail-
road company to suspend the work between
this place and Salem. We understand that
about $500, OO3 are now due and that it is the
intention Of the company to arrange for pay
meAt of that amodnt as early as possible. The
suspension of work on the Valley Railroad will
throw about 1000 men out of employment, and
that too at the very cohmencepent of winter
when they are most in need OF something to do.
1t will also be bitter disappointment to the
people along the line, more particularly at Lex
iagton. Gallant Rockbridge has taxed herself
more than she is able to bear, to secure the
early completion Of this line, and to find now
that her efforts have all been in vain will not
be the most pleasant discovery she could
make.
The forces now being operated by the con-
tractors will be employed until the 9Th Of the
month i'll dressing up the work, after that
time they will be disbanded.

SAD DEATH.-Died i'll this city, on the 27th,
Mrs. Ida Miller, wife of M. S. N. Miller and
daughter of Mr.. John J. Cupp, in the 2lst
year OF her age.
Death, come in whatever form it may, is al
ways an upbidden visitor. Even when we
fold the tired hands across the motionless heart
that has quickened its throbs to the changing
emotions of joy and of sorrow for three score
and ten years, we involuntarily ask, could not
longer lease of life have b.en granted. The
question is answered by the assurance that He
who docth all things weal has seen titto chasten
head, trusting in the wisdom of His will. But
@, how hard it is to close the eye and shroud
in its winding sheet the cherished form that
has been consecrated to lis by an holy love; to
see the tender flower of affection, just as it
bloomed into womanhood, droop and die, and
to realize that the young wits, even as she
crossed the threshold of maternity, and in the
dawn OF mothers love, is the bride OF death
Little less than a year ago the young wiEt
and mother, in the flush Of youth and promh e
had been led to the marriage alter; to-day HLt
sleeps meath the quiet shades of Thorngose
and at he side nestles the innocent bape, TO-
whose life she had sacrificed her own, aNd who
ere it had feltthe worlds celd charity ,nad beer
called away to join her i'll Paradise
To the Joung husband and fathek. we tcnde
| our most Sincere and heartful sympathy. Ma.
