,STAUNroa Iron Works Co.-The evidences
Of an active trade and plenty to do are no
where more apparent than about our manu-
featuring concerns. Stsunton has too few
establishments of this kind, but those within
her borders ale doing big business, and
daily extending the territory oftrade. One of
the most prosperous manufactures in the State
is the Staunton Iron Works company. It
employs large number of hands and is turn
ing out quality ofwork which will compare
with the best of the northern product, both in
durability and finish. Within the past week
this company has turned out of its shops two
steam gines and saw mills, one ten horse
power and the other thirty-five horse power
which are as good as can be made and far SUI
lpeFior to most of the imported goods that find

A DIsTINGUI HoNoR-In our notice
ofthe commencement exercises of the Angus
ia Female Seminary. several weeks since, there
was an omission which even at this late date
we think should be supplied The medal
offered in the senior Latin class was SO closely
contested by Misses Mary Grattan of Staunton
and Lottie Woodrow, of South Carolina,
that it was found impossible to decide between
them, and each was made the recipient of the
prize. This is one of the very highest honors
OF the school, and Mary .Grattan is the young
est pupil to whom it has ever been awarded
For one of her years her proficiency in Latin
is remarkable, and the fact of her graduation
with such distinguished honor more than JUS
titles this special mention.
THE NARROW GAUGE.-Mr. W F Alemong,
the intelligent and sagacious President of the
Washington Cincinnati and 81. Louis Narrow
Gauge Railroad, informed us yesterday that
the prospect for active construction opera
tions on this important work was very fiat
tering. The scheme now is to extend the
Fredericksburg and Orange Marrow Gauge to
Harrisonburg, and then take the bed and route
of the above named road, which has been
graded from the latter place to the Dora Coal
fields and partially through Highland county
We had been informed that arrangements were
being perfected by which work would be COM
menced on the line We have indicated, and
asked him if there was anything in it, His
response encourages US to think there is, and
as Nr. Allemong is not only sagacious and
reliable, il4t cautious business man, his answer
leads us to hope that we will have definite
and favorable news in this connection before
many months.

LUCK OF ONE Days FISHING.
Lane sttr Examiner.
One morning, when Spring was in her teens
A morn to poets wishing,
All tinted In delicate pinks and green's
Miss Bessie and went fishing:
lin my rough and ensy clothes,
With my face at the sunshfne's mercy:
She with her hat tipped down to her nose,
And her nose tipped-vice versa:
with my rod, my reel, and my hooks,
And hamper for lunchtng recesscs:
She with the bait of her comely looks,
And the seine Of her golden tresses.
So we sat down On the sunny dixie,
Where the white pond-lilies teeter,
And went to fishing like quaint old Ike,
And she like Simon Peter.
All the noon lay in the light Of her eyes,
And drenmily watched and waited:
But the fish were cunning and would not rise,
And the batter alone was baltcd.
And, when the time for departure came,
1he baE was tint as Il founder;
But Bessie had neatly hooked her game
