SHENANDOAH Valley r. r.

A meeting of the Stockholders of the 8.
vi r. was hold at Luray, Page county,
Va, on Tuesday last. The stockholders aud
. number of invited guests from this end of
the road were conveyed thither in a special
train OF elegant new Eastlake cars, of the
finest design and finish, and reached Luray
about l0:45, a. ~. Shortly thereafter, a
similar train came in from the other end of
the road, bringing the Wayuesboro Band,
President Mines, Vice President Boyce, and
Others.
The stockholders meeting was a very in
teresting one. The directors reported that
they had settled with the S. v. Construction
Co, that Company going ont of existence,
and. that hereafter all the further work of
construction would be uudcr the immediate
control and supervision of the railroad COM
pany itself. Resolutions were adopted au-
tsorizing the Board of Directors to cancel
the present mortgages OF SIS, 900 per mile
of seven per cent. bonds, and $40, 900 per
milejof six per cent. bonds, on the road from
Hagerstowu to Salem, or some point on the
A. o. & N. road, in order to construct the
remaining n~inety-three miles of this link
from EWaynesboro southwark.
AT a meeting of the Directors, the same
day, the Hon. VIM. Mines resigned the
Presidency of the road, (the demands of his
extensive and rapidly increasing private
business impelling him so to do,) and MI.
F. J.Kimball, of Philadelphia, was put in
nomination by him in his stead, and unani>
mously elected. Mr.. G. q. Clark, of Phil
ndelphia, was also elected a Director,in place
of ColMann Spitler, resigned and Mr.. Mines
was added to the same body. a proposi>
tion made by a committee from Lyuchburg,
Offering inducements for an extension of the
road to that city, was. declined, the Board
determining to prosecute the work on
through the Valley to Salem or whereabouts
After the meetings of the stockholders and
directors were over, tho roadbed at the
depot, at the edge of the town of Euray
became the theatre of an interesting scene
viz the driving of the last two spikes Of
the rail connecting the one hundred and
forty three miles of completed road. AS was
eminently fit and proper, the spikes were
wrought by the Hon. VIM. Mines, and were
driven home by him and the Vice President
Col. U. l.. Boyce, amid the shouts of TIE
multitude and music by the waynesborc
Band. After these spikes were driven, Col
Boyce was called upon, aud responded in hi.
usual stirring style, when both trains took
their departure, everybody greatly pleased
at the immense progress thus far madu b,
one of the greatest railroad enterprises o
the age.

WEST VIRGINIA HOSPITAL FOR
THE INSANE.

As wsnfearn, from John w. Grantham,
Esq, the directors recently appointed met at
the Asylum on the first instant. Present
Messrs. Martin, Tingle, Campbell, Lobbins,
Grantham, Moore, Dent and Smith. Absent
Armstrong. The Board organized by
e%lecting Col, Martin president, and A. NJ.
Dent secretary. The Board made a thor>
ough investigation of the institution, aud
also examined into the condition Of the in.
mates. All was found to be as near perfect
as possible. under the able management of
Doctors Camden aud Kunst, and their ex>
cellent corps of assistants. Indeed, it is not
believed there is one institution ofthe same
kind in the United States as we'll and
-cheaply conducted as ours, and it is due
altogether to the peculiar fitness of the SUI
perintendent for the position. After the
general routine of business was com pleted,
the Board proceeded to elect eff for the
ensuing year. Drs. Bland and Camden were
placed in nomination for superintendent. a
vote was taken, which resulted us follows +:
Messrs. Martin, Tiuglo, Smith, Moore and
Dent voted for DR.. Bland; and Messrs. Lob.
bins, Campbell aud Grantham for DR.. Cam,
den. DIR. Bland was elected. DR.. Kunst
was also removed, giving place to DE-. Hulli>
hen. The others were retained. 1t is hoped
the new superintendent will prove as eff
cieut as DR.. Camden, who has occupied the
place for the past tea years. There is at
present under treatment Eve hundred and
twenty-five patients, which have been kept
fos the last six months at a cost Of So II per
capita per week. This sum includes sala.
ries of all officers and employees, and is
much less than any other hospital in the
United States. There was discharged,
cured, for the past six months, some twenty
FIVE, and twenty died. Tho building is
completed, and will be ample for the next
ton years. Much credit is due to the former
Board for its iudicious management of the
construction of the sections recently erected
and especially to the executive committee,
Messrs. Lewis, Lively and Ralston, of Lewis
county.

A WORD FROM THEBES.

Editor Bulletin.
This is court week wonder if those poor
fellows who have been "forthwithed" by
the deputy sheriff are at all reminded by
this, Of the days they went counting their
sweethearts. guess NOT, but rather think
that instead of building lovecastles in the
air, they build great number of dams,
finished up with an n, especially those
whose lot it was to be excused; they being
out of pocket provided they had it, their
board bill and travelling expenses, besides
the loss of time. 1t may be right for a
state to require the attendance of its
citizens at court without pensation, but
| don't believe it, as the state is abundant
y able, | believe it to have no more right
to enforce gratuitous service than private
citizen. To require poor man to tramp
twenty-five or thirty miles through mud
halfleg deep, simply to tell him that the
lawyers have no use for him, and without
the compensation of even a nickel, Is alto
gether too big a Joke on our free Institutions.
The news came here in the country that
one hundred and fifty persons were ordered
to be summoned, as out Of one hundred
besides the regular panel only five Jurors
had been obtained This certainly speaks
well OF the intelligence and honesty
Of the people of our county, for
as the iw stands, or as it is
interpreted at courts, eligible juryman
on any important case is required either to
he llnownothing or a careiornothng; of
course, a man that reads the papers is
wholly unqualified. Mr.. Editor, you and
your brethren Of the press fraternity had
better give up your business entirely for il
you keep on disseminating information,
knowledge and news in the ratio you have
for the last decade, at the end of another
ten years, you can't pick one eligible jury
man out of every hundred thousand people,
and our machinery of justice q would have
to stop,
With your permission, Mr. Editor,
| beg lief to submit the following grave
and important question for the considera-
ton OF our legislature, viz; Is it better to
prohibit the working of all educational ma.
chinery schools and printing presses, or so
to amend the law that a disinterested,
honest and intelligent citizen shall not be
refused as iurori MENscuENFREUND.

Slightly Prevaricating.

Old Barty Willard was a wheelwright
by trade, and, though an excellent
workman, was remarkable for his habit
of procrastinating. He would promise
and then break his engagement over
and over again with as little scruple
and as many positively lasts as the
atrical star Having pledged his word
to very urgent customer, for the third
time, he would have his cart done by a
certain day, Barty again failed to keep
his engagement, and, on the arrival of
the owner the cart was still unfinished.

Scenery on the Colorado.

The chasm of the Colorado river
scores with tortuous course through the
entire length of the Colorado plateau.
From 5000 to 5000 feet below tho
general level of the plain the river
wanders for hundreds of miles For
sityy-hve miles it runs through Marole
canyon. The limestone walls, which
are from 1000 to 1850 feet in altitude,
are often polished to high degree, and
are of many colors-white, gray, pink
and purple, with saffron tints. At one
point there is plain like a marble
pavement, polished and fretted in
strange devices, and embossed in q
thousand fantastic patterns.

An Anecdote Of Prentice,

When George ID. Prentice was editor
of the New England Review he made
some reflection upon the management
of a Sound boat, then commanded by
John Vanderbilt, brother of the Com
modore. A writer in the Hartford
Courant says that Vanderbilt was so
offended that he called upon Prentice to
give him a thrashing Prentice's office
was in the third story Of the building,
directly at the head of the second flight
of stairs. Vanderbilt made his business
known, and in less time than it takes to
tell it, found himself lying on the side
walk in front of the door lie soon got
up and went to his boat. swearing
vengeance In his next issue Prentice
gave an account of the affair and invit-
ed Captain Vanderbilt to call again

hands with equal dcXterity, and swung

an East Indian schooner. Vanderbilt

Scrap Bars,

1t is a good plan to have pretty scrap
bags in sitting room, dining room and
bed room; they may be ornamental,
and are certainly very useful. Since
trying this | have saved paper rags
enough to buy all the new tinware
needed in the house, and have occa-
sionally bought broom also. Every
bit of cloth, every postal card and cir
cular that would otherwise have been
put into the stove as not being worth
the trouble of walk to the regular rag
bag, finds its way into the little scrap
bar.
