Gus injury about the head. The injured
men were taken to lIagerstown, accompa-
MED by three physicians from Boyceyille.

fort to save his life, but without avail, for

The above given details refer to only
one of the grounds on which "Shep-
herdstown basis its claims to the shops
of the S. V. II. r." The others may be
inferred from the following brief emu
meration of few Of the physical ad-
tages of our place for the establishment
of manufactures of all kinds and of rail
road shops especially.
In the first place, as the road is to be
extended to the Susquehannah, Shop
heristown will be the southern end of
its First Division and the northern end
Of its Second, being about hundred
miles from its proposed northern termi-
nus.
Secondly. The facility for getting
coal, lumber, &c, here by the Chesa'
peaks & Ohio Canal, as well as by rail,
are exceptional now and will be greatly
increased when the proposed enlarge
ment of the Canal locks shall be made.
Thirdly-Its Astounding water power,
having more than q hundred feet tall
within the corporate limits of the town
alone.
Fourth-Its soft river water for steam
purposes; it being well known that the
hard limestone water of our Valley in
lures the boilers and makes soft water
an important desideratum for steam ell
gines.
Fifth-The abundance of building
materials here; such as stone, lime, ce-
ment, brick clay, timber, sand, &c.
Sixth-The high and healthy situa-
ton of Shepherdstown, 405 above tide
water giving as firm and dry founda-
tions as can be found on the continent.
Seventh-Its beautiful building sites,
which can be had on moderate terms Us
to prices and payments.
Eighth-The surprisingly rich agri-
cultural region around about it all of
which together with its religious and
educational advantages and the law
abiding character of its people make it
most desirable place Gas our friend OF
the Free Press says) ''for the location OF
people for business or pleasure"
