Valley News.

Lexington Gazette We hear that TIN
Engineers Of the Valley Railroad arr
making up the estimates Of cost fol
completing the road from Staunton t'
Salem. All the indications are for al
early resumption Of work. Let ouI
farmers plant spring crops with view
to large home demand. 80. In the his
tory of Rockbridge the wheat crop
never looked so promising at this time
of the year. There has been a large
acreage seeded, and even if it brings a
low price, the immense crop, if Its
promises are fulfilled, will bring a
large sum Of money into our county.
.... The revival of railroad and mining
interests of the country, has created
great demand for labor, and the far
mers fear it may make their labor for
the coming season, high.
South Branch Lntelbgencer On Tues
day last man named Fora R. Custer,
hailiug from Grand Rapids, Michigan,
arrived in this place and sold to par
ties here the right of several counties
for a patent smoothing Iron. He also
purchased Of Mr.. Jos. l.. Vandiver
horse, giving negotiable paper on par
ties in Keyser, and then left for Wins
chester, Va. On Sunday last, Sheriff
Sims and his Deputy, from Keyser, ar
rived here in search Of Custer. His
Deputy returned TO Keyser and tele-
graphed to Winchester and Custer was
arrested there, Mr.. Vandiver arrived at
Winchester late oa Sunday night, find
ing Custer arrested, who, unsolicited,
gave up the horse. Custer was taken
to Keyscr where the matter will be in
vestigated. Mr.. V. deserves great
credit for the active part he took In the
matter.
We are glad to learn, says the Moore
field Examiner, that these works are
soon to &c put in blast. Messrs. Brun-
ty and Kessel, OF Philadelphia, have
leased the Capon Iron works for tenn
of ten years. They will rebuild the
Furnace, and commence the manufact-
ture OF IRON. The ores at Capon Iron
Works are of the best quality; and the
PIG iron turned ont there always COM
mands good price in the iron market.
Messrs. Brunty and Kessel are said 10
be men OF large means, and will prove
a great acquisition to Hardy county.
Bridgewater Journal: Mr.. S. f. Lind
sey, Commissioner Of Census for the 9th

THE New MOUNTAIN RoAD.-The
new mountain road from Edlnburg TO
to Powell's Fort is processing well. If
an engineer IS skill is to be judged by
his success, this road has been IL charge
of one of the best engineers OF the
State. Mr.. Geo. Rye, who has charge,
has certainly displayed great skill and
has made a road in which the grades are
less than those on the Valley Pike
On the other side of the mountain, the
road is almost completed. On this side
a great deal OF heavy work has been
done and a good road, almost level,
Will take the place ofan old road with
very steep grades. If our Board Of
Supervisors could be induced to visit
this road and examine it thoroughly,
we are satisfied they would be con-
WINGED that the appropriation was one
ofthe best best Investments ever made
by the county. If the money that is
annually wasted on the roads of this
county were judciOusly expended, we
could have goodroads in every direction.
As au instance ofextravagance, twenty
or thirty men are frequently employed
in doing with pick and shovel the work
which two or three men could do with
road plow and scraper. Notwlthstand"
mo the fact that so much more can be
done with proper implements, there Is
scarcely district in this county that
has these necessary Implements
Every district should have them and
the roads should be worked economical
ly and well. fit should cost twenty
or twenty-five dollars to purchase good
implements for a district, the money
would be well invested and one sea-
sons work would more than pay Tor
them. Let the experiment OF hiring
three GOOD men. furnished with the
necessary road making implements be
tried for one month on one OF our
roads. The result, we think, would
convince road overseers and COM
missioners, that thousands Of dollars
can be saved ty proper management In
road making.

MARROW ESCAPE FROM PERsECU.
T1oN.--A Lancaster Pa. business man
has had narrow escape from perse-
cution similar to that inflicted on the
Rev. Dix. A number of postal cards
addressed to various persons was drop
ped into the box at the Lancaster post
Office in the night. These cards ordered
cabs and whisky and hams to be sent to
the gentleman's place Of business at
O'Clock last Thursday afternoon. Some
leading citizens were also asked to call
at that hour. The postmaster sus-
pected the design, and having received
assurance that the cards were torgerles,
declined to deliver them.

and does not command hundredth
rart of the attention it merits. We
seldom see an anticle upon the school
question. Teachers should talk and
write more upon school matters, aud
keep them constantly IN view. Who
talks of schools? The courts, the auc-
t;ons. the manufactures, the concerts,
fbe churches. the hotels and politics,
are talked Of abundanuy; but who en-
quires about schools?
Docs tie stranger wnen he enumer-
ates the places he must Visit, place the
school on the list? Does the gentleman
Of leisure visit the school? Does the
fashionable lady visit the school? There
IS more serious question. Does the
Darcnt visit the school-the place
where the destiny of his child Is in an
important sense determined? We have
known a mother to keep her daughter
from school, and 90 with her to the
dress makers, paying the strctest at
tention to every fold, ribbon and turoe'
low, but who never goes to the schooi
room to see how the intellect is advanc-
ing. Parents usually do not speak OF
the school with interest at home. Some
one will perhaps say to the child when
it returns in the evening-"Well do
they make you study pretty hard"-or,
did you get hogging to-day" Or
sis your master pretty savage?" And
such is often the most respectable notice
child hears, while faithful teacher is
laboring for the advancement OF the
school, and trying to create enthusiasm
for study and a high estimate OF school
opportunities. The child goes away tc
school in the morning, and returns
again in the evening the parents treat
the matter as a necessity, which mus
be submitted to for a time. They ex
pect the work to 90 on, but they show
little interest in its progress perhaps
not even visiting the school once in live
months; and the child feels that tht
school dOings of the day are the mos
uninterestlng to the family. We d
not protend to say that such Is Away
the case, for there are few tamille
that form beautiful exceptions, but W
known that it is too much so.
All business or professional men re
ceive degree Of assistance and atten
ton in their calling that Is denied tn
man or woman who conducts the educa
ton of spiritual beings.
E This state of things may often be oil
served in families where we might eA
pect greater concern about education
and where great concern is professe(
e but not practically carried out.

of their best blowing and claiming the
victory by to 0. They all now know
that they would have beaten and are

but that contest will yet decide thu
