The following sections from the license law

with better class of dwellings and bust
ness houses. The distance TO Pocahontas,
the present terminus of the Norfolk and
Western railroad, is about twenty miles, the
latter being very thriving place, and re-
minds one OF the mining towns of Califor-
mia, excepting the fact of the black diamonds
being the object Of gain in the place of gold.
Coal of fine quality is very abundant, and
limestone equally 50. Capitalists seem to
have an eye to the business advantages of
this section. AS soon as the road is in run
ming order business will spring upalong the
entire line. The nearest station to this point
is Inglesde, about five miles southwest of
here, and is about the centre of the ten miles
OF grade recently completed by Griffith &
Purcell, contractors.
Pocahontis is on the eastern line of Taz-
well, one of the finest of the "hlue grass"
counties Of West Virginia. 1t is generally
conceded that the road will soon be extend
ed further west through Kentucky or Ten
nessee to other coal fields, passing through
one of the finest agricultural sections in the
West and then on to the seaboard The bu-
siness management is controlled by heavy
capitalists in New York, Philadelphia and
elsewhere, and the road will supply long
needed link in the transportation line from
the southern Virginia cities to the West
The mountain scenery of this section is
very fine, and before the autumn foliage
had become so sparse was beautiful to look
upon. The georges" in some of these noun
tains or glens are almost equal TO the famous
Watkins Glen, which the "Annapolitans of
your State so highly praise, and the "Can-
yons" come very near in height and depth
to those of the Alps and Switzerland The
roads in this section seem to be generally
those first established by the buffalo paths
and later by the mountaineer, but all that
will now change, and changes in the public
roads with view to better points OF loca-
ton and grade will now become universal
throughout the country within striking dis
lance on either side of this railway, and also
between it and the Chesapeake and Ohio.
The distance from this point to Hintun, on
the last-named road, is about thirty miles,
and the merchants of this place will hail
with great pleasure the improved facilities
now at hand. The track has been laid, but
not ballasted, TO within ten miles of Graham
city, formerly called Pin Hook, and by Jan
uary LIST is expected to reach Pocahontas,
and the road by the opening of Spring trade
to be fully equipped and In complete order
for business. l think it also an assured fact
that the road through Winchester, Va, and
making connection with the Loudoun and
Hampshire, will be under contract the COM
ing season, but whether that part recently
surveyed through yours and the adjoining
counties to Baltimore city will he built or
not cannot say.

BULL FIGHT.
A Lively Bovine Combat On The
Public Streets.

The most exciting incident of yesterday
was a bull fight on Second street, near
Madison. The novel contest came off be-
tween leng-horned Kansas steer on one
side and number of mounted cattle driv-
ers with policeman or two on the other;
and it happened about the time peo-
pie were going to church in the fore
noon.
The animal came TO the city as one of a
drove of twenty, intended for butchering
purposes, on board of the steamer Com
mon wealth. While on their way from the
boat at the landing to the stock pens north
of Chelsea, the pugnacious steer made a
break for liberty, and darted from the
pack, taking down an alley near Adams
street. He was followed by several
mounted drivers, all swapping their
whips frantically in their efforts to turn
the stray fellow back TO his proper place
The steer was finally brought to halt
near the postoiice, where he tossed horse
several feet high, landing the rider in the
middle of the street and wounding the
horse badly.
By this time the steer was mad enough
to strike at any living object near enough
TO attract his attention. He took bold
stand in the middle of the street, eyed the
surroundings and the crowd, which soon
numbered several hundred persons, and
made occasional darts at the bull-driving
fellows who approached him with view
Of capture. Several turned tail, stuck
spurs deep into their horses sides, and got
out Of the way in quick order. The fun in
creased, and so did the crowd.

square or so in a manner that would have
delighted the most enthusiastic and accom-
plished toreador in Spain, the vicious boz
vine would return TO the spot he had
chosen, eye the people as If 10 challenge
them to come to the front; suddenly
change position and gaze in another direc-
ton, and then shake his head and brace
up, as if about to charge upon the specta-
tors. Agaia and again he would spring
around, seemingly in search Of some foe
worthy of his wrath, and for nearly halt
an hour he held his place, none daring Ia
edge up close enough to lasso him with a
rope nor could any Of the usual methods
induce him TO bulge from his battle
ground
Finally it was determined TO shoot the
mad brute, and Policeman Henry HedricB
drew his navy.six, trained it on his front,
pulled trigger, and sent bullet directly
into the center Of his forehead He sunk
to the ground, a butcher ran up to cut his
throat, and the bull fight was at an end
Shortly after the carcass was hauled of
and suitably dressed for market pur-
poses.
Tho sport was enjoyed by large mum.
Der Of spectators, and the best feature
about II was that no admission fees were
charged. The bull drovers didn't even pass
around hat. 1t was equal, as n spectac.
ular performance, to any bull fight ever
given in Central America, Mexico OF
Cuba, where such affairs are popular ard
common. Such games don't happen every
day on our public highways.

notice, and to convert their property
into money or diamonds, that could be
easily concealed or carried from place TO
place. 1t was only within this century
that they acquired the right to own land
in England. In this free and happy
country they need fear no evictions, no
prosecutions Or massacres. Here they
may throw off their habitual reserve, ac-
quired during centuries of persecution,
they may drop their exclusiveness and the
air Of suspicion which characterizes them
in many other countries. The same
habits of industry, economy and thrift
that they exercise in other vacations
would maka them the best farmers in this
country, from whom even the Eastern
yankees may come down and take lessons
