the latter being apparently intended to
frighten the enemy by their size, for

MEN AND MEANS MOVING
UPON WEST VIRGINIA..

We need no better assurance that
capitalists are beginning to appreci-
ate West Virginia as field of opera-
tions, than to see such sighted
and calculating men as those who
have organized the West Virginia
Central and Pittsburgh Railway
Company, preparing to invest large
sums in our State.
Among these are the familiar
names Of Augustus Schell, James
G. Blaine, Thomas f. Bayard, VIM.
Pinkney White, VIM. Keyser, together
with our own Senators.
These names mean business. They
are not men who are playing with a
bauble or seeking an opportunity to
secure the franchises of railroad
charter in order to make trifing
speculation, but they are doubtless
able to command the means, at any
moment, to construct the important
line of railroad they have projected
through the State, ard they will push
it to completion in tire near future.
1t will constitute the most important
line for the development of the re-
sources of our State that could be
devised. That is the Prime object of
its construction. 1t will tap in its
route, the finest coal, timber and min
eral deposits of the State.
There has been a great deal of
talking and writing upon the mineral
resources of West Virginia for many
years, but this line of road when it
is built will carry the tangible evil
dence of their quality and quantity
to the markets of the world. The
Baltimore Sun makes some pertinent
comments upon this enterprise, in
the following language:
"West Virginia is rich in deposits
of coal and iron, whose extent has
been roughly estimated, but never
accurately measured. She has more
valuable timber than any State cast
of the Mississippi river. with the
possible exception of Michigan. Up
to this time her best mines and most
valuable forests have not been touch
ed, because many Of the interior
counties have not a railroad within
their limits, and have no facilities
whatever for transporting heavy pro
ducts. The railroad "extension"
which was set on foot in this city on
Saturday will bring a long tier of
counties into communication with
the two trunk lines that cross the
State, and will open mining and
numbering region within two hundred
and fifty miles of the seabord, which
has, as yet,scarcely been explored by
the capitalists, and whose resources
many years of active industry and
enterprise will not exhaust. The
gentlemen who have projected the
West Virginia Central and Pitts
burgh Railway have the means to
build the road and to develop the
country through which it has been To-
Gated" = Wheeling Register, Of June

of the reasons why Eve did not keep
a hired girl. She says:
There has been great deal said
about the faults Of women, and why
they need so much waiting on. Some
one, man of course, has the presum-
ton to ask, "why, when Eve was

he. He made the fire and hung the
kettle over it himself, we venture,

and never brought half dozen
friends home for dinner when Eve

Eve was sitting up crying inside the
gates. He never loafed around the
corner groceries while Eve was at
home rocking Gains cradle. He did
net call Eve up from the cellar to get
his slippers and find them in the cor
ner where he left them. Not he. He
put them under the fig tree, beside
his Sunday boots. In short, he did
not think she was especially created
to wait on him, and wasn't under the
impression that it degraded. a man to

is the reason Eve did not want hir-
ed girl, ard with it the reason her
descendants did.

INlclS.

Those contemplating trip westward
will certainly do well to carefully con
suit the time tables of the Baltimore
and Ohio road. It's celebrated fast
trains, its sure connections, and rates
always as low as the lowest, make it
beyond all controversy the best line
west. Colonists are carried in first
class cars on fast trains, and every
possible care is taken to insure comfort
and convenience. BY the Baltimore
and Ohio only is the choice of routes
offered to the west, via st. Louis or
Chicago, and in either case, trains ran
through without change of cars. Di-
rect connection is made at both cities
with all leading lines to the vest,
northwest and southwest, and there is
but single change of cars to Iowa,
Kansas, Nebraska, Texas, Minnesota
etc. No other line can offer such ad-
vantages as the Baltimore and Ohio.
1t costs but very little time and trou-
BILE to learn this, and in the end may
lead to the saving of much of both as
well as m ney. Above all things do
not purchase tickets before having a
talk or receiving a letter from one of

Remarks on the Third District.

Hon. Thomas O'Brien, Treasurer,
returned yesterday from Charleston,
where the Board of Public Words
held meeting last week.
An impression had crept out that
material changes and alterations were
to be made in the new State House,
and that the Board had gone there to
approve the same. This is not go:
the building will be finished accord
ing to the contract, the plans and
specifications being carefully fol-
lowed out in every detail, there was
found decided objection to any
change whatever, among the promi-
nent men of Kanawha county, and
they do not want the permanent seat
before 1885. The stone foundations
have all been CON pleted and are wait
ing for the joists of the first floor.
Mr.. O'Brien in giving an account
of the trip, became very enthusiastic
over the Kanawha Valley, which he
claims will be the valley of this coun-
try inside of ten years. Eastern cap
ital is rapidly coming in, the records
of the county clerk of Kanawha
county, showing in one week, trans
fers to the amount of over 5000, 900;
blast furnaces and coke ovens of the
latest pattern are springing up, saw
mills are everywhere and all along
there is seen and heard the busy stir
of industry. All sectional feeling is
fading entirely away, the inhabit-
ants are welcoming the sharp east
ern men with their new ideas and
money, and for a good opening a
young man in any walk of life could
not do better than go to the Third
district. All it wants is railroads, and
inside of ten years they will be there,
and then that section will more than
balance this Panhandle, for it's hills
contain hidden treasures that are
awaiting development that will
make the the place famous Wheel
ing Register.

tors? 1t is generally supposed that
the fruit on the limbs overhanging
ones land belongs to him, but this is
an entire mistake If tree stands
wholly on your land, although some
of the roots extend into the land of
your neighbor and derive support and
neufishment from his soil, yet he has
no right to any Of the fruit which
hangs over the line. If he attempts
by force to prevent you from picking
it, he is liable for an assault and bat
terry. Judge Bennett decides this
point as follows: A lady while pick
ing cherries, standing on the fence,
was forbidden to do so by the adjoin-
dng owner, who was at work in his
garden, and, in the scuffie to prevent
her, she received some bruises on her
arm, for which he had the pleasure of
paying the neat little sum Of $1,000.
According to the same authority, if
your fruit falls into your neiehbor' S
lot, you have in implied license in
law to pick it up, doing him no un-
necessary damage. If, however, n
fruit tree stands directly on the di-
vision line, and is what is called a
cline tree, "both own the tree and
fruit in common, and neither can cut
down the tree or seriously injure it

NoTEs.-Charred corn, fed in lin
tied quantities, is excellent for LAYING
hens.
Boiled potatoes are said to be a
cure for diarrhea in cattle. Feed
warm and give as much as they will
eat.
Currant worms. Break off the
sprouts or suckers that start from
the roots of currant bushes and there
will seldom be any trouble from the

Linseed Meal for Pigs.-Suffolk
and Berkshire pigs may be profitably
fed, to be sold at nine or ten months.
upon clover, corn meal, linseed meal,
or corn and oat meal. Half pound
of linseed meal per day on the aver
age, to six months old pigs, would be
sufficient.
Sowing Wheat.-Recent expert
ments in England show that the thin
sowing of wheat in drill is more pro-
ductive than thick sowing.-By spe-
cial culture on small plots, single
grain to the hill has given a yield OF
100 to 1872 bushels to the acre.
Tomatoes.-If you would have a
full crop of good tomatoes, water the
young plants twice each week with
rich liquid manure. Nip off many OF
the new shoots and tie up the heavy
so as to expose the fruit to the sun.
Mulch thickly around the main stem
and thin out where the fruit grows
too closely.
A DEMAND FOR CHOICE MUTTON
There is no more promising future
for abe flock owners of the country,
except perhaps, those located upon
the extreme frontier, than is opened
by the demand for choice mutton.
The production of this need not be
confined to small flocks and those
men who are especially favorably To-
Gated with reference to the markets.
Sheep are exceptional in the facility
with which they can be transported.
They can be kept in a better condi-
ton than is possible with cattle while
