The Valley Railroad.

special reporter for the STATESMAN was
detailed, Thursday last, TO visit The valley
railroad. and report ihe result of his inspec-
tiou. The prr-ent terminus of the rUad il
just a,ross the mouth Of Mill Greer, six miles
below town. The track is already laid
mile or over this side of that point. With
the commencement of next week freight will
be received st Weston Station, this side of
the crossing of Mill Creek Our reporter
found about 800 tons of wheat and -four
stored al the terminus and along the line of
the road. Both locomotives are now in work.
ing order, and running them full time they
take down freight somea hat faster than it
cUInrs TO hand Should no accident happen,
they will be- able 10 carry off the accumula
wheat and -four in about ten days from date.
DAsTARLY OUTRAGE.
Wednesday night some scoundrel placed
rail across the track, and the result was one
of the locomotives end its tender was thrown
off the track, and SUSTAINED Considerable dam
age BY hard work the en- pIoyees sucss,rtied
in clearing away the wreck and placing the
engine and tender in runting order. The
break on the road was this side OF tie TouChet,
and we believe is the second occurrence of
the kind. A watch should be set, and if the
felluw is detected in again attempting TO OBJ
sruct the road, he should be treated To
neck tie party
CONDITION OF THE ROAD.
The track ia in fine condition for new
road. The rails are laid in substantial and
wOrkmanlike manner, and the freight cars
well suited for the purpose for which they
were intended. The passenger cars might
be improved, and no doubt will be AZ The
travel warrants. We had heard great deal
about the locomotives; that they were small
and bad not IOwer sufficient for the work.
This was he talk of those " no knew nothing
about machinery, and of course were incUm-
Petent TO Judge. Now the fact is, they are as

At this date they are laying at the rate of
ohe-fourfh a mile of track daily They are
now five miles from town, and progressing at

that no accident occurs TO delay the work of

The member from the Second he-s suggested
that it was customary in traE-ac,lr:y both

" did not care what WAS said or thought
about bis official acts" The little buzsard

Beautiful child Ivy thy mothers knee
In the mvsic future what wilt thou be f.?
A demon of sin or an angel sublime?
4 poisonous Upas or an innocent Thyme
A spirit of evil flashing down
With the lurid light Of A fiery crown
Or gliding up with shining track,
Like the morning stal that nc'cr looks back:
Dainticst dreamer that ever smiled,
Which wilt thou be, my beautiful child?
Beautiful child in my garden bowers,
Friend of the butterflies, birds lnl flowers,
Pure as The sparkling crystalline stream,
Jewels of truth in thy fairy eyes beam,
Was there ever faircr face than thine
Worshippcd by love in mortal shrine?
Nv heart then hast gladdcncd for two
sweet years
With rainbows Of hope through miatS OF
Mists beyond which thy sunny smile,
With the halo Of glory beams all the while.
Beautiful child, to thy look i given
A rlcam serene not earth, but of heaven
With the tell tale eyes and prattlmg tongue
Would thou couldst ever thus be young.
Like the liquid strain Of the mocking bird
From the stair to hall thy voice is heard
How oft in the garden hooks thourt found
With flowers thy curly head around!
And kncelng beside me with figure sc
quaint
O, who would not dotc on my infant saint
Beautiful child, what thy fate shall be,
Pcrchancc is wisely hidden from me;
A fallen star thou maycst leave my side
And of sorrow and shame become the bride
Shivcring, ,quivcring through the cold street
With curse before and behind thy feet
Ashamed to live and afraid to die,
No home, no friend, and . pitilcss sky.
Merciful Father my brain grows wild
O, keep from evil my beautiful child!
Beautiful child, may'st thou soar above,
A warbling cherub Of joy and love,
A drop on cternitys mighty sea,
A blossom on lfc's immortal tree,
Floating-tlowcring ever more
In the blessed sight of the golden shore;
And rs gaze on thy sinless bloom
And thy radiant face, they dispcl my gloom
| feel lie will keep thee undetiled,
And his love protect my innocent child
