A Mean Railroads.&c. Metropolitan
Branch has the meanest, stingiest and most
spiteful officials of any road in the world
Having knowledge of the change Of time on
this road, Monday evening last representa-
tive of this paper visited the Depot and asked
of the authorities thereof a prepared schedule
for publication, Of course, in conformity with
our custom since the completion of the road
to be inserted gratuitously, as we have never
received an iota Of compensation for the en-
tire time, and they not having courtesy and
liberality sufficient to even profer us a free
pass on the road, never asked any. He was
told by the morose clerk, whose temper is us
uneven 'as the dirt roads of Virginia are to-
day which the cavalry Travelled during the
war; that upon the return home of Mr..
Spencer, and with his consent, he would give
us schedule similar TO the one he was, UNI
der instructions, preparing for the other paper
In this town. We awaited the receipt of the
schedule up to the nigh, beforegoing to press,
but In vain, the reason for the denial of which
we could not comprehend. Now, reader, is
this not meanness? We did not expect this
company to dote upon us or even bestow its
paying patronage while its little pet organ
has existence, but did look for it to give us
that which would be profitable 10 ITSELF Our
first impulse was to send to Mr.. Garrett, Mr.
Spencers god, for bis orders, and had he
consented to the publication the schedule
would undoubtedly have forthwith and
without delay been sent to this office. Mr..
Spencer, the railroad king who assists in the
removal of debris from wrecks who goes
when he is sent, ought to have sense enough
TO know when he denies us the right to publish
the timetable free of charge he does not spite
u.s. but whole county from which he expects
to receive patronage, thereby working detri-
ment and loss TO the company which employs
him. We are determined to have the time
table to publish, Mr.. Spencer 10 the contrary
notwithstanding. Ii will be found in another
column of this issue.
Remedy for Scarlet FeVer-Whilc
there is as yet no occasion for alarm in our
town as to the invasion of this dread malady,
ii is well TO take time by the forelock and be
forearmed, and lift should steal into our house
holds like thief at night, be prepared TO
meet it. The following simple remedy is re-
commended, and is certainly worth a trial /:
Take an onion and cut il in halves, cut out a |
portion of the centre, and into the cavity put a |
spoonful of saffron put the pieces together,
then wrap in cloth and bake it in an oven |
until tho onion is cooked so that the juice will
run freely, then squeeze out all the juice and |
give the patient u teaspoonful, nj the same |
time rubbing the chest and throat with goose |
grease or rancid bacon, if there is any cough |
or soreness in the throat. In a short time the
foyer will break out in en- eruption all over
the boly. All that is then necessary is to |
keep the patient warm and protected from
draught and recovery is certain
New Atlas.-Messrs. O. " Gray & Son
Typographical Engineers, of Philadelphia |
have corps of engineers travelling through |
the United States preparing phls Of all the |
States and such important towns therein from
which they would be likely to receive patron
age When n sufficient number of persons |
have subscribed, the atlas will be printed and |
leather bound, and this instructive and in-
teresling typographical chart upon larger I
scale than ever before shown viii he sold for
the sum Of SIG. Mr.. G. P N Sadler, an at
tnche of the corps, made an odometrical sur

days thereafter showed the deitly pen
ciled plat OF the town. This gentleman is
now soliciting orders.

county, were committed to Jail by the mhgis-
trate in the neighborhood i'll which they had
