NEW YORK, Oct. 25.-The Herald keeps up
the fight on Grace, John Keliy's candidate for
mayor, and adds: "Mr. Grace Will most likely
be mayor. The leaders OF the republican ma

an impression among those who look deeply
into these matters, that Kelly will reward the
republicans for their selfsacrifice by helping the

TELEPHoNE.-Last Thursday, Messrs. ]. E;
Suit & Co.. the agents of the Holcomb Telc.
phone Company, attached a set OF these instru-
ments to wire from Berkeley's drug store on
Main Street to their own store, corner Fred.
erick and Augusta. The line was only intend.
ed for temporary use, and consequently not
put up in the most substantial manner, yet not
withstanding this, the experiment was sue
cess. Conversation in ordinary tone was dis
tinctly heard, and the utmost satisfaction was
expressed by those who made the tests. On
Friday lines were run connecting the various
wards of the Insane Asylum, and much graft.
fcation was experienced at the result. The
Holcomb Telephone is said to be quite equal
to the Bell, and costs much less 1t is the
purpose of Messrs. Suit & Co. to thoroughly
introduce and establish this means of commu-
nication in our city, and several of the bust
ness men have already signifed their intention
of taking advantage of it, Staunton must keeE
abreast of the times, and there are places Of
less population and much less business, in
which the telephone is now regarded as almost
indispensable. Those who wish to examine
and test this curious and useful instrument
should call either at the store of Messrs Suit
s. Co. or that Of Berkeley & Co,

SHENANDOAH VALLEY RAILRoAp.-The
Lexington, Va, Enterprise, of the 18th, says:
".Messrs. Wingate, Kennedy and Morris,
the Engineer corps of the Shenandoah Valley
Railroad, have completed their preliminary
line from Waynesboro to South River, at
which point their road will connect with the
North River branch of the Richmond and Al
leghany Road 1t is understood that the
Sauth River route will be selected and the line
placed under contract as seen as spring opens
Thirty miles of the road this side of Waynes-
horo have already been let to contract"
This statement as to the route corresponds
with what we had heard would probably be
the location of the road-passing alongside
of the mineral belt of the Valley. five hundred
feet lower than the location of the Valley
Road, and accommodating vast mineral
interest.

Snow commenced falling here about bali
past five o'clock Monday morning and contin-
ued throughout the day and far into the night
Tuesday night it had accumulated TO an aver
age depth of twenty inches. This is the deep
est snow known in this region since 1856. In
that year a tremendous snow storm came in
October, before the leaves had fallen, and the
result was that it played havoc with the tim
Der, crushing whole forests, and destroying
many shade trees Since Monday, the sleigh
ing has been elegant and the merry sound o
the bells are heard on every street. The schoo
girls have been out, many of whom enjoyed
for the first time the splendid exercise.
In the mountains west of US, the snow has
reached depth of from two to four feet. The
trains on both the roads have been seriously
impedcd. and it will probably be some day.
before everything is brought back to its usua
schedule.
