they will Immediately abandon the

And, if they are determined to
show no consideration to the Third
District, and take both the United

then We are in favor of our Senators
and Representative Withdrawing
from the Legislature, and leaving the
First and Second Districts to do the

had every improvement and promi-

basely treated than ever was West

MARROW GTAcE RALRoAD.-It is
now almost certain that . narrow
guagc road will be built between
Washington and Wayncsburg, Pa.
There is also a project to build mar
row guage road between Weston and
Clarksburg in this State. A West
Virginian nov in Louisville, KY,
writes a letter to the Weston Demo
erat in advocacy of the project, from
which We take the following extract:
NJ opinion is that a Narrow Guage
Road would be the best, say 8 foot
guage, ! have had several years e1-
perience in building and working
Railroads, and l give it as my opin-
ion that in the course of 10 years
half the roads viii be built three feet.
First, grading only costs about two
thirds. Second, iron rails cost only
one-half, and cross-ties two-thirds.
There is one-half and one-third saved
in purchasing cars and engines.
When the road is finished it will do
all the work ola broad guage. Coach
es will seat 50persons.-Freight cars
will carry IA to Is thousand, while
broad guases carry 10 to 20 thousand.
They make the same time. Now
suppose you propose to old Harrison
and Lewis counties that they sub
scribe one or two thousand dollars
each toward building narrow guage
railroad to Weston, Then let Up
shur and Randolph come in and help
build it on to Beverly, and in my
opinion you will say in ten years
that narrow guage roads are the
thing.
The village ofTroy, Gilmer county,
now boasts Of stave factory in full
blast" Two barees are now being
built, to be loaded with slaves to be
shipped to Parkersburg. Lumber
business on Leading Creek is getting
to be "big thing" to the denizens
thereof.-HeSton Democrat.
John Kelly, deck hand on the
steamer West Virginia, as that boat
landed at the wharf on Wednesday
evening, when attempting to pass
from the guards of the steamer, which
were glared with ice, to the wharf
boat, slipped and went into the river.
Mr.. Lee Woods, mate of the boat, at
once threw him a line which he
caught and was pulled out. On get
ting ont and shaking himself, he was
asked to 60 to the stove in the deck
room, and warm, but declined, and
continued: 'Don't this beat help"

Terrible OccuRRExcE.-On Mon
day 18th Of January, 4 man by the
name Of Parker Fleck, on the waters
of Lee Creek, near Bellcrillc, went
out to fall a tree. and his little boy,
near six years old, a f,vorite, start
ed to go to him, and was sent back
until the tree was down. The father
then trimmed up the trunk and start
ed back toward the stump, when he
seen the log was going to turn; he
discovered the child just below the
log and spoke to him to get out of the
way, when he undertook to climb
over the log to get above; the log
turned at the time throwing himun-
der, bruisng and crushing his life
out almost instantly. The father
did all he could at the time to save
him. lifting more than any four men
ought to lift 10 prevent the log from
crushing his head. The funeral took
place on Wednesday following.-Jmr-

lowing, relating to the James River
and Kanawha Canal:
"The Senate Committee on Trans
portation at its meeting last night,
considered the subject Of making APP
preparations for the various plans of
internal Improvements. All the
members were present except Mr..
Conkling. Mr.. Sherman suggested
that perhaps it was not well to make
very large appropriations at the
present time, in view of the limited
balance in the treasury. Finally,
after discussion, the chairman, Mr..
Window, was instructed to submit
the following schedule of appropria-
tons to be added to the river and
harbor bill: For the improvement
of the mouth of the Mississippi, ac-
cording to the jetty system, and tob be
under control OF Captain Eads, ST.
50O,C0Q; for the improvement Of the
Fox and Wisconsin rivers, the Hen
ncpin canal, the Ohio river, the
James river and Kanawha canal and
the Tennessee end Georgia routes,
s600,000 each. There was consider
able opposition to the James River
and kanawha canal route by some
members Of the committee, but final
ly, through the influence Of Senator
Davis, ii was adopted.
