time $315, 1000 of the bonds of the County fop
the construction}of the, Valley Railroad. OF
this. amount $4,000 are.in the hands of the
V. B. r. Co., epjoined by the Board, and $685.
600 are held by private parties. OF this $780,
00,, 80, 400 have been, bought and cancelled by
the County Treasurer. There is now in the
treasury enough money from last years tax,
invested in Canal bonds, and iii cash from the
tax Of ~, to retire s20,s00 more of the Rail-
road debt, making in .sll~retired and to be re-
tired up to- the close Of the tax year, $4,000.
We think this a most favorable exhibit of
our Railroad debt. and if the Valley, Railroad
Company would go,to work and complete the
improvement, we would soon be rid Of the
whole debt and our grand old county on the
high road to prosperity. Lexington Gazette. !.

ANNUAL SERION.-Dr. Martin, the pastor
of the Methodist Church, in this city, preached
the annual sermon before the Sabbath School
of his church, on Sunday last. There were
present some three hundred who were connect
ed with the school, the scholars occupied the
whole of the middle block of peWs. The SER
mon was an interesting exposition OF the Nth
verse of the ~ chapter of the book Of Deuter-
onomy. This school, said to be the largest in
the Baltimore Conference, numbers 3s7 schol-
ars, 81 teachers and 10 officers. 1t is proper to
say that the Sunday School composed OF the

tute, is separate and distinct, and has no con-
nection with the school of the church.
