FROM DAYTON TO COLUMBUS.

The people of Lyon county are
just now agitating the project of
building new wagon road from
Dayton to Columbus, in Esmeralda
county. The proposed road from
Dayton is down the Carson twelve
miles to Houghton's farm, then
straight across the country to
Mason's Valley, and thence to Col
umbus. The road will save thirty
miles over the old one to Columbus
from Carson, and pass over more
favorable and decidedly richer re-
gion Private parties offer to furnish
the material and to build all the
bridges on the route, and it is esti-
mated that not more than two thous-
and dollars will be required to COM
plete the clearing out and the grad
ing of the road. The Lyon County
TIMES calls upon the people and
County Commissioners to see that
the amount is speedily secured. 1t
has long been a matter of wonder to
us that the people of Mason s Valley
have lived all these years without
constructing this end of the pro-
posed road. They would long ago
have saved more than the cost of the
road in hauling their products to
market, while, if the road had been
built three or four years ago, it
would now be travelled by the Col
umbus teams and stages, giving
market for the products of that rich.
est of Nevada's valleys. A good di-
root rood fo AfoSop,o VolIo1, ,,,;l ~,
hance the value of land in that val
ley more in a single year than the
road will cost. Indeed, the only
reason that valley is not more thick
ly settled is because, though so near
to its market, it is, for want of better
roads, so far off. Lyon county has
been very slow in seeing and utiliz-
ing the advantantages to be gained
by this road, and we hope the pres
ent awaking is genuine.-Ente,prise.
WE published some time since
an account of the killing in Inyo
county, Cal, of one of the Mex
lean bandits. We take from the
"Independent" the following verb
atm copy of the Coroner's Jury
who sat upon" the body: 1t is
rather unique:
LONE PINE, Inyo Co., Cal,
May 30. 1875.
We, the undersigned members,
who were sent by the Committee of
Six to investigate and find all par
ticulars regarding the killing of
the Mexican. do find that the man
was one of the robbers or bandits,
and that his name was Jose Marie
Guerro. That we found him in
the canyon described, and that we
bnried him according to Hoyle.

Jefferson County Agrioultural College.

lHr. Editor Many inquiries are made
concerning the time of the opening of Jetfer.
son County Agricultural College; quite
number, who have boys to send, have desired
to know whether the organization of Board
of Trustees has been completed and Pres
ident elected. If So, who is the President,
&c.2 We have understood that Col. r. w.
Baylor has been selected, then again we heard
that Dan'l B. Lucas. Esq, had been chosen,
either will suit admirably, all we want is a
good President and good Board, and the sue
cess of the institution is certainty. The
writer of this will, with others, subscribe to
the full extent of their pecuniary capacity,
when they have something definite to SUBJ
scribe for, and We can only know this when
we have proper body, who can advise us
what will be necessary to be done. Wewant
to know how much the college site will cost,
DO. We all feel the necessity of such an in
stitution in our county, it will give US new
life, it will bring us foreign capital and friends
and help to build up our wasting energies
l have heard some say we need such an insti-
tuition, but we are too poor Just now. My
idea is the longer We defer the advantages,
offered by the erection of such an institution,
the poorer we will become. One of the great
reasons why we should at once go into it, is
because We are poor. Why? because within
the next nine months this college, I am as
sured, will secure from the U. S. government
and the State largo sum of money, which
will be expended in our midst, besides this
look at the money the boys from other States
will bring with them, and the advantage of
educating our boys at home, and keeping that
money here. Will the people of Jefferson,
and. indeed Berkeley county, permit this
golden opportunity to slip. have UNDER
stood that it will require but little money to
make the 1st payment on the purchase, and
really it will only be loan for short time,
because the college will pay its own way from
the start and before second payment is due,
we will have $4,000 or $50 900 from the u
s. government and help from our State, whose
duty it will be to nourish and cherish such an
institution indeed, tits tue requirement of
the Constitution of the State that it should be
done. Give us President and good Board,
and all things will work together for good
have recently conversed with several gon-
tlemen from Maryland, who assured me that
their people will subscribe literally when they
understand the matter fully this can only be
done through a properly organized board, is
my Judgment. I shall endeavor to gather all
the news in our section aud write you. Mr.
Editor, if you wish to serve your county
good turn, urge on the College.

reminds US OF what the Bulgarian priest of
the Greek Church, who was here the other
day, said about our Confederate generals whom
he met when travelling in Egypt. He spoke
particularly of Loring, who seems to have i'm
pressed him most favorably But he spoke
in terms of condemnation of his apostacy to
his religion, and told us what we didn't know
before, that in accepting Office from the Khe>
dive they had to give in their adhesion to the
religion of Mahomet. Loring gets $500 i

DEATH OF JUDGE PAUL..

Judge james Paul, of the Supreme Court
of West Virginia, died at his residence, near
Willsburg, in this State, on Tuesday last
Judge PAUL was born in Belmont county,
Ohio, and was, at the time of his death, about
ffty-seven years OF age. During his boyhood,
his father removed to Wheeling with his fam
lily, and there his three sons, John, Alfred
and James, spent the greater portion of their
lives. The first named studied medicine, but
died many years ago, still in his youth
Alfred studied theology and was, for many
useful years, pastor of the Fourth Presby-
terrain Church in Wheeling. Some twelve or
thirteen years ago he removed to Philadelphia,
and there died in 1878. James chose the
legal profession, and after thorough course
of instruction at the University of Virginia
and elsewhere, opened IN Office in Wheeling
for the practice of Law. Although quiet and
unobtrusive in disposition and demeanor, he
soon acquired a lucrative practice and lis
sterling honesty and the force of his good
character commanded the respect of all with
whom he came in contact. He represented
Ohio county in the Virginia Legislature with
signal ability, and in every station, whether
of public or private life, adorned his place.
Upon the adoption of the new Constitution
of West Virginia in August, 1872, he was
elected one of the four Judges of the SUI
preme Court of Appeals, and held that po>
sition at the time of his death, leaving nearly
six years of his term unexpi1ed, he having
been allotted term of eight years.
Judge Paull's physical health has been far
from robust for number of years past He
has suffered from what appeared to be merely
bronchial affection, but which many feared
was pulmonary consumption. Last December
the disease seemed to be more aggravated
than over before, but in January the Judge
proceeded to Charleston and there presided
during lengthy and laborious term of the
Supreme Court, persisting in doing his full
share of the work, from which his colleagues
upon the bench, seeing his enfeebled con-
ditiou, did all in their power to relieve him.
Since the adjournment of the court in March
last he has been confined to his room, and his
gradually ebbing strength declined into death
about two o'clock Tuesday afternoon.
The Wheeling Register, from which we
CLEAN the above facts, says: ''Duriug all his
residence in this community, Judge PAUL has
borne the'white flower of blameless life and
has been pattern of what Christian manhood
should be. He has been active in the Church,
and foremost in every proper place in labor
ing for the good of his fellow men. To him
may be applied with more perfect adaptation
than usual the oft quoted lines

Diabolical Attempt to Throw a Train
off the Track.

Rumors have been rite the past week that
the repair hands on the 3. 4 o. R. intended
to strike for an increase of pay.
On Thursday last, the hands on the second
division, from Martinsburg to Cumberland,
quit work, and between those two points, it
was reported, there was not man at work,
and but single watchman on duty.
Mr.. Joshua j. Brady. of this place. was at
Dam No. on business, Thursday. and started
down the track for Sir Johns Run, on foot.
This was after noon. When he got into the
bend opposite Boyle's sugar~hollow, east of
tho bridge, he bcheld a sight that made him
shudder. 1t was an obstruction placed upon
the track, consisting of a large steel rail laid
diag"nally across the north rail of the track,
and wedged at the end outside the track by
a pile Of cross,ties and rock A little below,
on the south track, were placed some pieces
OF strap iron. Being unable to remove the
obstruction, he saw two persons work ing in
field near by, hurried toward them, and se>
cured their services in removing it. Mr.. 3.
then started down the road to warn the west
bound tran, (due at Sir Johns Run at H.
5l.) Finding the Matchbox closed, and una
Bile to get the flag, he kept on down the road,
and but few yards east Of the box the train
came laundering on at lightning speed. Mr.
B, took OF his hat and waved it, attracting tho
engineers attention, who applied the brakes,
aud endeavored to stop the train, but so great
was the momentum that notwithstanding Mr.
B. ran in the direction the train was going,
it ran rapidly past him, and he shouted the
warning to the engineer as it few by, the en-
gineer coming down the steps and holding to
the rail. The train proceeded slowly, and
by the time the dangerous point was reached
the obstruction was removed, and the train
passed on in safety

EN Concerning the exercises on Memorial
Day in Augusta, Ca, the Constitutionalist of
that city says: Zone of the most striking
features of the day was the appearance of the
splendid band of the Eighteenth u S. in
tantry, in full regulation uniform. 1t was as
novel as it was beautiful to see portion of
the regular army paying tribute to the dead
of the armies they had fought. 1t was but
another token of that era of sincere peace and
friendship upon which the whole country is
now rapidly entering, when the animosities
engendered by the strife are indeed to be for
gotten, and the heroism, devotion and patriot>
ism Of all only remembered"
Ho- The validity of the Iowa railroad tariff of
March %, 1878, and its application to the Bur-
ltngtoa railroad. now operated by the Chicago.
Burlington and Quincy Company, has been af-
firmed by Judge Dillon in the United States Dis
triet Court at Des Moines, and an appeal allowed
to the Supreme Court of the United States. In
an exhaustive opinion the judge holds that a
railroad is highway, and its public character is
not Invested because the ownership is private;
the State has control as over other private prop
erty. and the Legislature has not conferred upon
railways in Iowa exclusive pow er to FIX their own
charges.
