OUR eIperiencein the business which weadver-
I J ti-e to conduct, and our thorough acquaint-
sBce with il in all ts branches, enable to assure
the public that any work entrusted 10 u will be
executed in the most workmanike manner, and
with tho utmost dispatch. Having stood TO their
posts in the Confederate army during the four
years struggle which it so manfully encountered,
they have located in their native county, where
their services are offered in building up the waste
places and ncsrryingo tpractical recons,ructon.
Particular attention given at all tunes 10 the
drawing of plans and specifications; and in the
construction of
GEOMETRTCAL STAIR VA vs.,
where calculation is required, they are confident
thatthey cannot be surpassed by any workmen in
the Valley Of Virginia,
5,ts- Being well known in the community they
deem it unnecessary 10 say more, than that orders
left for them will receive prompt attention.

JOHN ADAMS and Ysidora Marina, con victed at the late term of court of grand larceny, and the latter also of assault with intent to commit murder, escaped from jail on Tuesday night, by digging down under the wall of their cell and out into the jail yard, and from thence by sealing the wall. They had obtained an old butcher knife which facilitated their tun- neling operations. Thousands of dollars are paid to enforce the laws and punish crime, yet criminals convicted seem to have no more trouble in escaping from custody than if confined in an ordinary adobe room.

Success MEANS HARD WORK
In 1855 young gentleman regis
tered his name in the largest hotel in
the city of L)uisville, Ky. He had
pretty good wardrobe, such as
young men usually have, including a
gold watch and chain. He was in
search of occupation. At the oxpira-
ton of two weeks he took an invent
ory OF his personal effects. "0ut Of
work and no business" He had q
brief interview with the pro prietor OF
the hotel. His trunk was left as Sc.
curily for his board bill he bypoth-
ecated his watch for the loan OF $40,
and having kissed the tip end of his
coral fingers 10 kind und sympa-
thelic landlord. he went diving for
the bottom" lie found bottom" on
Water street, where q steamer was
being Olscharged OF cotton oy Dutch
men, negroes, and Yankees. Having
purchased heavy pair of boots, a
blue shirt, and overalls, he com
menced rolling and piling cotton at
the rate of FIVE cents per bale. In
three weeks he was promoted to the
position of marker" with q salary
Of s45 per month, and at the expira-
tion OF nine months he had a right to

The Lumber Supply.

The lumbermen of the United
States ana Canada propose de9pe"
rate remedy for the evils which seem
to environ their business with dis
heartcning aud adverse results. The
plan proposed is similar to that,
adopted by the coal oil producers of
Pennsylvania some years ago, when
they found the market overstocked
by The superabundant supply and
prices depressed fal below prOfta-
ble average. This seems to be in
part the condition of the lumber
trade to>day, and to o7er productiCsi
may be attributed the utter stagna'
ton OF the business in all parts of
the country from the Gulf to the
British provinces. 1t is question
of doubt whether the plan suggested
by the recent conventions at Nor.
folk and Ottawa will be found prac-
ticable. Tie large producers with
abundant capital may find no diff
Guilty in holdlug on to their stocks
for an indefinite period, while the
small miil-owners, laboring under a
pressure quite in cousonance with
limited means and credit, will be
forced to realize on their products at
any ost, in order to meet their obli-
cations. Many of the IN ills in Geor,
gia are in no condition to lock up
their material and wait for a rising
market.
The object of the adjournment at
Norfolk was that there might be q
larger representation from Mary
land, the James and York River dis
tricts, the different railroads Of Yirt
giria and North Carolina, Whining
ton and other points, all Of which,
together, represent production Of
more than 100000 feet Of yellow
pine lumber daily - Savannah (Ga.)
