GRATTON'S NEW RAILROAD.

Our faithful Grafton correspondent
gives our readers, this morning, another
chapter in the progress of the narrow
gusge movement IN that quarter. On
Thursday a meeting was held at that
place of the West Virginia corporators
of tho Pittsburgh, West Viz
gina and Southern railroad, which
was also attended by two or three
ol-the officers residing in Pennsylvania.
A Board of Directors was elected, COM
posed of Messrs. w. T. WILEY, j. M.
UAGANs. j. Il. THOMPSON, A. FAIR
CHILD, G.. W. JOHN, Nj. ID. HAYS, j. II.
MILLER, A. &. HAYS. j. REAMER, j, w.
MASON, j. DooNAN, e. w. Brown and
A. Ii. THAYER. The Board organized
and elected as officers: President, III. u.
HAYS; lst Vice President, w. L. WILL
LEY; "a Vice President, JOHN DooNAN;
Secretary, j. NJ. MILLER; Treasurer, j..
REAMER; General Manager for West
Virgins, GEO. e. SEURGrss.
a contract was entered into with the
Pittsburgh company to construct rail-
road from point in Cas- District, Mo-
nongalis county, rsn. Morgsntown to
Grafton, the people along the route to
furnish $4,000 per mile. The principal
business office of the Company for West
Virginia is located in Morgantown. The
friends of tho enterprise are quite SAN
guine that tho road will be certainly
built, and that work will be commenced
along the line early this spring.
There were at Grafton on Thursday,
parties from Barbour county, TO consult
about extending the line on further
South. And delegation was also pres.
ent from Fairmont for the purpose of
interviewing President HAYS and the
Morgantown people on the subject of
coming to Fairmont instead Of gong to
Grafton. We understand that the Fair
mont people feel quite sanguine that
they can raise the necessary means TO
build their shsre of the line, and that
Clsrksburg will certainly carry it for
ward to connection with the Weston
road at that place. The distance from
Morgsntown to Grafton by the route
proposed, is said to be % miles, and from
Morgantown to Fsirmont, following the
river route, is "a miles.
President THOMSON of tie Universe
~ informs us that the Pittsburgh vein OF
coal, eleven feet in thickness, exists on
the line of the road and within two miles
of Morgsntown. And that, along the
lire of the road there are three other
workable viens of coal. Prof. TuoMP-
SON entertsins scarcely 3 doubt but the
road will be bull. during the coming
summer. The entire length of the road
from the PennsylVanlS me 10 Grattoh
will be forty miles, which, at S3,000per
milo foots up but $4,000.
If we take strip OF land q miles
wide on each side of the road we have
5000 acres 10 the mile. In order to raise
$1,000 per mile-the amount required
the landowners holding land within 2i
miles en- each side need contribute but
one dollar, or a fraction less, for each
are. This a very small tax to secure so
great benefit, and one we should think
would be cheerfully paid. But, IN sddi-
ton, men who own land lying much be-
yond the distance we have named will be
greatly benefited also.

who have corn for sale are charging
seventy-fve cents bushel for it, and the
condition OF those who cannot afford to
pay such price is represented as being
most pitiful.

The discovery Of a mound in North
Carolina, with a number Of well pre-
served corpses of unknown nationali.
ity, has revived hope of Sir Walter
Raleigh, that some trace'might yet be
found of the famous Roanoke colony.
The remains and contents of the
mound are undergoing careful exami-
nation, and if it is possible to decide
that they are the Roanoke colony
lost and found-no doubt it viii be
done. 1t was in 1851 that the ia
nous lost colony, the subject of SO
much search, speculation and romance,
landed at Roanoke and formed
friendship with Manteo, who was
made Christian, feudal Baron, as the
Lord of Roanoke, the first gentleman
in America. 1t was that colony which
gave birth to Virginia Dare, the first
child born here of English parents. 1t
was three years on account Of war.
Spanish armada and home troubles,
before ship with supplies and the
Governor of the colony, Virginia
Dare's grandfather, returned to Roa-
aoke. All that Remained of the colo
ny, or Manteo and the friendly Indi-
ans to tell of its fate was the inscrip-
ton ''Croatan," on the bark of a tree.

ANoTal Air shin.

F. W. Shredder, the inventor of a
novel air ship which has attracted
wide attention, arrived in New York
On Saturday, intending, he says. to
build there a large ship of the same
pattern in which 10 journey to Europe,
in Septembernext. At Hartford, Conn,
he has exhibited lately his air ship.
The machine consists of a ballon
shaped like cigar, with a light car
for passengers beneath. Tie balloon
is to be 81 feet long and 90 in diane
ter, to be constructed of silk, lined
with India rubber. Filled with car
bonic acid gas, the balloon can be
kept inflated for many days. In the
car is to be an electric engine of one
half horse power, with the machinery
for working a screw propeller and
rudder which are to be attached to it.
The balloon Is driven by the propeller
and by pair of wings at either side
of the car. The ship can be held al
most stationery in the air by the use
Of its machinery. The inventor is
confident that in such q machine he
could go to Europe and return in FIVE
days. The cost of the ship is 5000

Everlasting the Energies.

1t is not advisable for any of us to over
task our energies, corporal or mental, but
in the eager pursuit of wealth or fame or
knowledge, how many transgress this sal
utarY rule. 1t must be matter of great
importance to all who do so to know how
they can regain the rigor so recklessly ex-
pended. The remedy is neither costly or
difficult to obtain. Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters is procurable in every city, town
and settlement in America, and it COM
pensates for drain of bodily or mental
energy more effectually than any invigor
ant ever prescribed or advertised Labor
ing men, athletes, students, Journalists,
lawyers, clergymen, physicians all hear
testimony to its wondrously renovating
powers. 1t increases the capabilities for
undergoing fatigue, and counteracts the
injurious effects upon the system of expo
sure, sedentary habits, unhealthy or wea-
rying avocations, or an insalubrious eli
mate, and is prime Alternative, diuretic
and blood depurent.
