cY- On the 18th of May Mr.. Hill was
confined to his bee. and constantly under
the influence Of morphine. His Suiferings
arc modified only by that drug. His
face is partially dec9yed. The decay OF
the bone is attributed to excessive intlam-
nation by one physician. Others ascribc
it to the ravage of cancer. The latter
opinion is no doubt the correct one. Mr.
Hills utterancc is so mdistnct that even
those most accustomed to him can with
the utmost difficulty comprehend what he
says. II was proposed that he Use slate,
but this was SO repugnant TO him that he
seldom could be induced TO avail himself
of it, Tbs trouble Of making himself un-
derstood is the only thing that trcts him.
When he was told Of GOV. w ashburn's
approaching death, Mr.. Hill said: Il
envy him" Very little Of the Eureka
water is used by the Senator. He evil
IDENTIFY believes that il has not now the
power 10 heal him, If it ever had.

70 BARN RAIsING.-A very pleasant
time was had at the "barn raising" OF Mr..
Rein Cross, three miles west OF town,
near the Martinsburg road, on Wednes-
dav of last. 1t is bran splinter new
barn, 75x45, erected by Mr.. Joseph Darr,
contractor, q resident of Bunker Hill,
Berkeley county, we believe. The barn
was raised in three hours and a half,
which is an evidence that everything was
''true as clock work" The assembled
party, who assisted in the raising, num-
bered l02 males and Al females. After the
barn was raised and everything. pro-
nounced "true and well adjusted" DIN
ner was announced, prepared by the fair
ladies present, and each one ''got away"
with one of the soCAREsr meals they ever
stuck a fork into. Mr.. Darr is an old and
experienced hand at building barns, and
understands his business Mr.. William
J. Britner of this town did the masonry
work, and he also knows how TO do his
work well. We congratulate our friend
Cross upon the erection of his handsome
and excellent barn.

Rgt- The Vashinglon Republiean of

asg- The Washington Republican of
Saturday last has the following refer
ence to the recent sale of the Washing
ton and Ohio II. R.-in The extension
of which the people Of our State, par
ticularly in this part CT it, are deeply in
tereSted:-
WASHINGTON AND OHIo-SALE OF THE
RAILROAD BEARING THE ABOVE NAME
An IMPORTANT LINK.-For SONS time ru.
mors have been atloat to the effect that
sale OF the Washington ard Ohio Railroad
was about to be effected. 1t Is now given
out that the sale has been made to the
Baltimore, Cincinnati, and Western Rail-
way. Inquiry of parties who are likely
to know the Intentions of the new cOmpa-
ny develop some very interesting particu-
lars of very great importance TO this COM
munity. The purpose OF tho purchase is
TO construct the road through to Cincin-
natl rs WAS originally intended. 1t is
well-kuown that the old company had
contemplated this action, but has been I'M
able to carry out the programme. 1t Is
understood that the new owners will i'm
mediately bond the road for fifteen mill
lion dollars, and q syndicate has been
formed to carry il. Jay Gould and eX-Sec
rotary Blaine are mentioned as among the
proprietors Of the new enterprise. y line
of route about the same as the original
survey will be followed, and the work of
construction will be pushed with energy.
The proposed line is about midway be-
tween the Chciapeake and Ohio aud the
Baltimore and Ohio roads, and runs south
of the Ohio river, through a district not
presenting as great engineering difficult
ties, rs was the case with either of the
other lines. There are no large towns on
the line of the route, but it goes through
a very rich coal and iron territory, and
one of the chief purposes of the enterprise
it to give this natural wealth an outlet. 1t
is anticipated that coal and iron fields of
great value and magnitude may thus be
made available. The road will be finished
through 10 Cincinnati Is soon rs practical
bic, and will have the further advantage
to the public of furnishing another thro'
line between the East and West, and one
which will be independent in its opera
tons. Baltimore will, for the present at
least, be the eastern terminus of the line.
This will require the construction OF
piece of road over the forty miles between
here and Baltimore. and furnish an adj
ditiOnal railway line between these cities.
1t is not determined just what course the
road will pursue between these points, but
a line between the two roads now in oper-
alton will be the probable route. A sur
vey has been made of this portion of the
contemplated road, but it is not finally
adopted rs the true course. 1t was not
learned at what point the new road will
enter Washington or where the depots
will be located, these being matters left
for future determination.

Is The Sultan of Turkey is quite as
badly off as the Gar of Russia and is pos
sbly more awfully scared. Somebody
has sent him word that he is about 10 be
assassina.ed, unless he radically changes
his course. As he has good reasons for
believing that if he were to change his
course he would be assassinated all the
same, he does not see that the change
would do him any great amount of good.
Therefore, this dismal and melancholy
Sultan shuts himself up in close contine-
ment and refuses to see anybody. His
food has to be sampled before he eats it,
to guard against poison, and the wretched
man takes no comfort in rejecting on the
probability that the very officials who do
the tasting may quietly drip pinch of
stryChnine OF arsenic into his dinner after
they have tasted the dishes in safety.
There is little chance that this poor Sultan
will ever again be happy as long as he
holds his present Office. Troubles are
thickening around him and his only hope
for finishing his days in peace is 70 go out
of business as Sultan and retire.
