at which, we understand, some routine
business was attended to but nothing
done of especial importance. 1t will
be seen that a general meeting of the
stockholders has been called at Win

questions which heretofore intertered
with the progress of the enterprise will

The canal boat, Il. j. Baker, was
stoned by some unknown parties at
Harper's Ferry one night last week
The cause Of the attack is that the
owner of the boat had male a contractl
to boat coal for twelve dollars and
half per day, a sun known to be less
than a living prise. While We oppose
such conduct on the part OF the boat
men, yet we cant blame them, as 1t
seems the only means left them OF pro-
tecting their business with parties who
seem TO be determined 10 ruin Their
occupation by boating Tor ruinous
frcigh,s. We can not say we would
pity those men, who are boating for
such prices, if their boats were burned
instead of stoned, and we consider 1t
only warning TO those parties that II
they persist in boating for such rates,
something more serious will follow

FATHER SrINNERs RETIREMENT
Spinner undoubtedly had more 'pets
than any other government official.
The ladies were his special favorites,
and many day has the old beau passed
in happy recreation with the favorite
girls in Uncle Sans employ on the
shores of the upper Potomac. l think
the charming little widow who drew
her nice little one hundred month tor
putting blotter over the old bucks
grapevine signature will never look as
bright and fascinating again.
TO YouNG MEN.-I owe my success
in life to one fact, namely: at the age Of
q | commenced and Continued for
years the practice Of daily reading and
speaking upon the contents of some
historical or scientific book. These off
hand efforts were made sometimes in q
cornfeld, OF in the forest and untreqnent-
ly in some distant barn, with the horse
and OK as auditors. 1t is early practice
in the great art of arts that / am indebt-
ed for the primary and leading impulse
that stimulated me forward and shaped
and moulded my, entire subsequent des
tiny. Improve, then, young gentlemen,
the superior advantages YOU here enjoy.
Let no day pass without, exercising
your power Of speech. There is no
power OF speech. Caesar controlled
men by exciting their fears, Cicero by
captivating their affections and swaying
their passions. The influence of the
one persisted with the author: that of
the other continues to this day.-Henry
