Not three summers ago this little town
was really a "deserted village" The fur
naces lay idle,-a solemn sight--hoil Ses
were vacant by the scores; people, what few

they all shared each others sorrows aud
trials. Parryville at that time was ptiful
sight TO what it now is. 1t is entirely de-
pendent on the iron trade for its existence.
As iron booms so does the town vary. The
town now has merry look, all have work
aud al are happy. A drive through It's

New ORLEANS, Jan. 29.-The jury
in the case of Schmidt g. Zeigler VS.. Il
G.. Dun g. Co.'s Mercantile Agency, TO-
day returned a verdict for 81, 900 for the
plaintiffs. The case attracted the gen.
eral attention of merchants, and it is be-
lleyed if the verdict is sustained by the
higher courts it will establish the re-
sponsibility OF mercantile agencies fol
losses resulting to customers by reason
of erroneous reports and failure to use
due diligence. In this case Dun & Co.
rated an irresponsible commercial firm
very high, and failed to inform the plain
tiffs, who asked for a special report at
the time, that their information was OBJ
tanned from members of the firm them
selves. Relying on Dun & Co.'S re-
port, the plaintiffs sold a bill of goods
on short time to the firm ia question,
who failed to pay for them hence this
suit.

The Coal and Iron Ofvirglnia

A London correspondent of the
Baltimore Sun furnishes the fol-
lowing interesting facts;
I am induced to point to this
subject for the reason that some OF
my travelling companions coming
hither from France lately informed
me of their intention of forming an
Anglo-American syndicate to pur-
chase iron and coal lands in Ameri-
ca. | learn that these gentlemen
represent a capital of some $4,000,
600 or $40, 600, and that they
have a well-digested project before
them. With some pleasure point
ed out to them the unbounded min
eral wealth of Tennessee and Ala
bama, where iron, coal and lime
stone seen by nature placed prOvi-
dentially close one 10 the other. l
dwelt on the fact that Virginia's coal
wealth, combined with that OF
Kentucky, was greater than that Of
England, Scotland and Wales put
together, while their iron ore are
extremely rich and generously album
dant. do not think the said ores
of Virginia were from IS to 81 per
cent. in metallic wealth. | am
sure l might have surprised these
gentlemen if 1 attempt mathemat-
ical description Of the coal meas
ures of Virginia, and | am sure
they will not be surprised TO find
they can produce iron cheaper in
that old State than in quarters near
er New York. However, | would
rather these cnterprising capital is
would see for themselves, inwardly
learn and digest what nature has
bone for America, and what art, be
it foreign OF domestic, is cheerfully
invited TO develop.

FREDERICK, Nd.
Eeh. |. 1880.


Deputy Sheriff Nixon, of Lou
doun county, Va, arrived in this
city Yesterday in search of one
Page Wallace, a stoutly-built mu-
latto, aged about % years, who
broke jail at Leesburg on Tuesday
last, in compan with another pris-
ones, by cutting through the walls,
and celebrated his freedom on
Thursday evening by perpetrating
a brutal outrage upon the person OF
a white woman named Mary Mar
mon, about 40 years Of age, living
in Virginia, near tine Potomac river,
She had just returned from Point
of Rocks when she was attacked.
Wallace kad been in prison for the
past fifteen months. and had been
convicted of larceny. During bis
Imprisonment he was identified as
the party who had committed ar
outrpge on a colored woman some
time previous. Bruises on the
throat and eyes of his last victim
bore evidence of her terrible bu
unsuccessful struggle with the
fend. After the accomplishment O
his vile purpose Wallace fled across
the river into Maryland, AS sooI
as the outrage became known known
crowds of armed men began scour
ing the country around in search o
him, but up to this time he ha
cluded arrest. If caught, it il
stated, he will undoubtedly be a
summarily dealt with as were hi
predecessors, Carroll and Peck
The repetition of this infamous
crime the third time in less thar
one year, and within radius o
fifteen miles, has aroused the PEG
pie of this section to the highes
pitch of excitement. With all it
horrors, lynch-law appears so far II
have few terrors for the fiends wh'
have infested that vicinity, and i
may well be urged that, after all
reliance upon the law and its stric
enforcement would serve the pur
pose of prevention better.

ed.

The finance commissioners held a
special meeting at the City Hall
yesterday, to consider matters rela-
tive TO the city's interest in the
Valley railroad, and efforts which
are now being made in Virginia to
secure the repeal Of laws passed by
the last Legislature Of that State adj
verse to the interests Of, he present
stockholders in the road. \ COM
mittee of the stockholders, Col. w.
A. Anderson, OF Lexington, Va,
chairman, is now in Richmond, en-
deavoring to have the act referred to
repealed, and it was decided TO adj
dress the following letter to him
eve learn that your committee
are engaged in procuring the repeal
of the legislation passed at the last
session Of the Virginia Legislature
affecting the Valley Railroad Com
pany. AS finance commissioners
of the city Of Baltimore. represent
ing 100000 Of stock in that en-
terprise, We write TO assure you OF
our interest in your efforts, and to
say to the committee that should
they be successful it will afford the
city pleasure, through its reprcscn-
tatives in the board of the Valley
Company, to cooperate in devising
the financial measures necessary TO
resume work upon the road and
bring it to a speedy completion. 1t
is clear to our minds that no mort
gage can be negotiated with this
hostile legislation pending, and the
first requisite for resuming will be
to relieve the company of this APP
preaching when, with propeI effort
the money can be secured to finish
the road.
