THE WAY TO BUILD Ur A Town.
A few days since, we had pleasure of
meeting in this place, Colonel F. W.
M. Holiday, of Winchester. Conver.
sation naturally drifted on the compare.
tive prosperity of Martinsburg and
Winchester, taking into consideration
the difference in the advantages of the
two places The Colonel argued that
Winchester was in quite as healthy
and prosperous condition as Martins
burg notwithstanding the fact that she
had no railroad shops. And in support
of his position, stated that there were
now in successful operation in that
town, several manufacturing establish.
ments employing several hundred
workmen, and that every one of these
establishments had been started on
home capital He cited this fact as an
evidence Of the healthy financial condi-
ton of his people as we'll as Of their
enterprise. He also alluded to the
fact that there is now in that town Eve
or six first class female schools in sue
cessful operation. and having an aggre.
gate yearly attendance of over three.
hundred young ladies. These schools
are the outgrowth OF the liberality and
enterprise of the people of Winchester,
and afford Indirectly a handsome reven
ue to the place, Colonel Holiday
dwelt particularly upon the immense
benefit which Winchester derived from
her female school, and. .instanced. the
fact that the entire growth and pros-
perity of Staunton, was almost wholly
attributable to the large and flourish
ing female colleges established. at that
place the money distributed. by the
annually in the town of Staurton,
directly and. indirectly, amounting to
over half million of dol lars.
These facts furnish food for reflection
and our people might readily draw,
profitable lessons therefrom. Win.
chester, instead of depending entirely
upon foreign capital to come in and
start up manufactures although -gl4d
at any time to have its aid instead of
Waiting, like Wilkins Alicawher, for

with pluck and energy and turns it
up" herself Her. citizens, instead of
letting their capital lay idle, or invest
ing it in stock and bonds, with com
lnendable enterprise and 'boldness put
it into manufacturing establishments
and schools, which must give to the
town fair and stable prosperity. And
that ia the way TO build up town. The
process may be little slow, but it is
certain sure. And the prosperity
which comes Of such determined pluck,
energy and enterprise on the part, of a
people, is not ephemeral, and not
seriously affected by panics, inAation
or contrsction.- -uart;nS6urg Lale.

Mr.. John X. Markill, of Norfolk, St.
Lawrence county, N. Y, returned home
late, having been detained by a storm,
and going out some time after to care fol
his team, was just in the act of opening
his stable door when he was siezed from
behind by panther, which attempted to
grapple his throat, and he was carried to
the ground, falling on his back. So sud.
den was the attack that for moment
Mr.. Markill was partly stunned, but
quickly realizing his danger he at
tempted to draw his jack knife, at the
same time calling loudly for help. In
the mean time the animal had fastened
his jaws on the side of his victims neck
but owing to the heavy collar of Mr.. Mark
ilPs coat which was fortunately turned
up, and a fur collar around his neck, the
animals teeth did not penetrate the
flesh, although the pressure, as described
by Mr.. Markill, was such as to almost
entirely prevent his breathing. His
alarm brought to his assistance very
soon large and terocious dog, which al
once fastened on the throat of the for
midable foe. The animal then turned on
his new antagonist, and for moment a
terrific battle ensued.. After prolonged
struggle Mr.. MarKill succeeded in con.
quering the animal with pitchfork and
the dogs help. The panther measured
from tip of nose to tip OF tail seven feet
five and a half inches, was a brownish
color, with. legs rather short but thick
ana muscular.

Education should also teach us how to
enjoy life. We complain that there are
classes who are fond of drink. They
seek relief from the repressing strain
and dullness of work, and in drink they
receive temporary forgetfulness. The
| bar-robms are closed, but still, somehow,
they will get drink. The reason Of the
failure of the crusade movement 10 that
nothing has been given to take the place
Of the recreation and amusements which
drink Is supposed to afford. Introduce,
keep up healthy. elevating and attrac-
tive recreations, and there will be less
drinking. One Of the best sources OF re-
creation is the cultivation of the beauti-
ful in nature and art, city parks with
out-of-door concerts in them in the even-
nings during the summer, and free musi-
cal entertainments in halls in the VIM
ter.
If our wealthy men wish to have their
names gratefully remembered, they will
contribute to such purposes and future
generations will ENJOY their n1unificence.
One of the most potent element OF hap
piness is aesthetic taste. "Happy is the
man who has hobby" who, after the
labors OF the day are over, can turn his
mind to pursuits which give him happi-
ness and pleasure, and lifts from the
mind the cares of toll and business.
He will conclude his lecture by assert
ing that political forms alone are not
sufficient to permanently secure to a
people liberty, strength and virtue. In
their moral and intellectual life are the
essential elements of all their greatness,
strength and happiness. Without these
they must crumble to the earth.

OFFICE OF THE CINCINNATI CoNsoLI-
DATED STREET RAILROAD COMPANY. (
CINCINNATI, April ., lS7o.)
Lewis Glenn, John s. Highlands and others:
Gentlemen-When your communica-
tion of March IL, 1875, in regard to a sec
ond fare at Washington street On Routes
6 and was received the Company was
disposed to accede to your request to
await the action Of the next Common
Council, but further consideration and
investigation OF the effect of the decision
OF the Superior Court, liking low rates OF
fare ON Route No. 8, together with the
expense of operating so lSng line as
that over Routes and I, have led to the
conclusion that return to the former
prices 7on the old Pendleton Line is
matter of immediate necessity, as the
present rates on these three routes are
destructive Of the revenue OF the Com
pany.
In order to settle any and all questions
at issue between this company and the
city under the ordinance OF March, 1873,
addressed communication under date
of January 9Th last to the Common Coun-
Gil, calling their attention to the subject,
and looking to the establishment OF har-
alton and the municipal authorities.
We have thought that the subject thus
brought to the attention of Council was
OF sufficient Importance to warrant its
consideration, but up to this date our
effort has not met with such response as
would justify expectation OF action on
the part OF that body, inasmuch as the
term Of its present organization Is about
to expire.
We believe that we have organized
and perfected system of roads that is
of great utility to the people; that has
greatly facilitated the growth Of the city
by the convenient means OF transit 1t
affords between all points near and re-
mote, at moderate rate of compensa-
tion, cheaper, indeed, than in any other
city.
We feel also that there is no just
ground for hostility toward this Com
pany; that our rights, whatever they
are, should be respected, as we are will
ing to observe and respect the rights of
The city and the public. As il has been
decided that the Company can not have
the benefits of the ordinance Of March,
1873, We can not longer submit to its dis.
advantages.
By order OF the Board Of Directors,
there Will be return to second fare
Rbove Washington street on and alter

Very respectfully,
