Baltimore papers. The 'Sun" says:
The Virginia counsel for the Baltimore
interests will appear before the legislative
committee on roads and internal improve
ments. to whom the bill was referred, and
who will give hearing to the matter on
Tuesday next. The confidence of the
Baltimore directors is increased by tn e
fact that the city of Staunton refused to
indorse the efforts in support of the move
ment before the Legislature. X
The general purport and tendency of the
bill. however, seems to have been fully an
ticipated and appreciated bv the authori-
ties of StauntOn in their recent declara-
ton upon the subject. 1t endeavors to
compel the people of the Valley to do bust
ness by way Of Richmond, whereas their
sole object in seeking the construction of
the Valley railroad is to do business by
way of Baltimore.
The Baltimore american" quotes Vice
President Keyser as saying in an inter
view:
Now, the real view of the case is that
the legislature of Virginia might just as
well confiscate the Chesapeake and Ohio
or any other railroad. / have no appre-
hension that the State Of Virginia would
do anything so utterly suicidal. The only
effect of any such legislation would be
to forever prevent the construction of the
road and involve the Valley interests in
serious losses, which by patience and pru-
de, management might all be avoided.
Mr.. Keyser also expressed the belief that
Gov. Holiday would veto such bill if
passed When asked how he regarded the
future of the Valley road. he said he
thought the road would be taken up and
completed as soon as the general business
of the country was restored.

A Stanton Desperate Commits Murder

A Staunton Desperate Commits Murder.
In the books of the Staunton police.
Clarence Harris, colored, has been put
down as the worst man that has come I'M
der their notice. His arrests for numerous
offences, and daring escapes from the
chain gang have made him notorious.
His last exploit was combining with
another man and knocking down High
land citizen on our streets at night and
robbing him. The accomplish was SEN
teuced to the State prison, but Harris had
disappeared. He turned up in Hunting
ton, W. Va, recently, under the name of
Henry Johnston. Sunday night he visited
the house Of Fannie Parsons, colored, to
see her daughter, and being refused ad-
mission fired pistol, charged with shot,
at the woman, inficting wound from
which she died the next day. Harris was
arrested the next morning and jury of
inquest, of which Capt. T. J. Burke was
foreman, rendered a verdict according to
the facts. AS there were rumors of mob
intending to lynch the prisoner that night,
the City Marshal took him out of jail and
secreted him until he could be carried to
the jail of Barbour county for safety. The
papers say it is believed the mob will visit
Barb0ursville.

Sabbath Morn in the Country.

How still the morning Of the hallowed dayi
Mute is the voice OF rural labor, hushed
The plough boys whistle and the milllnaid's song
And the wish is general that they might stay hushed
The scythe lies glittering in the dewy wreath
OF tedded grass, with faded flowers,
That yes ermorn bOom'd waving in the breeze,
And when the old man comes along
And finds it there, he will Startle the quiet
OF the hallowed day with shouts and rOarS
And takings on of one kind and another
That will make hired man sink into his boots.
Sounds the most faint attract the ear-the hum
OF early bee looking for some one to sting,
The tickling OF the (mountain) dew, glug, glug,
Glug gluggerty gluggerty, gug, glug!
The distant bleeting, midway up the hill,
OF the heartbroken goat when he first discovers
That he cannot climb tree
To him that wanders over the upland leas,
With his shotgun on his shoulder,
The backbird's notes mellOwer from the dale,
And sweeter from the sky the gladstone lark
Marbles his heav' n-tOned song: the lulllng brook
Murmurs more gently down the deep worn glen,
While from your roof whose curing smoke
O'ermOnnts the mist is heard at intervals
The voice of psalms, the simple song of praise,
And the hired girl swearing at the cook-stove!

Mrs. Kate Shaver, an aged and well
known lady of North River Gap, was
severely burned one day last week. It ap-
pears she was standing with her back to
the fire, engaged in some household duty,
when the draft from an open door blew
her clothes into the blaze which ignited
them instantly. She rushed out Of the
door screaming for help, when one of her
grandchildren, who was fortunately near
at hand, with great presence Of mind said
The old lady acted upon this suggestion,
and double-quioked it to the creek few
yards distant. Reaching the bank she
hesitated moment, when her husband,
who got there at the same time, gave her
a vigorous push and in she went. thus saw
