In this issue will be found the adyer-
tisement of Mrs. Gen. James II. Williams
Shenandoah Female Institute, located at
this place. This school, although only
about TO commence its 9Th session, has
gained a reputation Of which many OF
our far older institutions Of learning
might be proud The course of instruc-
ton is thorough in all the branches
taught, and no more conscientious teach
ers can be found than Mrs. Williams and
her accomplished assistants. The super
vision exercised over the scholars while
firm and constant, is kindly and home
like, and it is to tins feature, along with
the efficiency Of the principal and teach
ers, that the remarkable progress of the
pupils can be attributed.

One Of our correspondents says MI
Marian Derror, who lives on the Mountain
Road. near the old Chapel, Rockingham
county, Va, and carries the U. S. mail on
that route, has a sad time in his family,
caused by typhoid fever. One Of his sons
died a short time ago, and now he, his
wife. and three children are all down
with the same fever, which has been
raging in his family for three weeks
Surely, in view of such calamity, and OF
the fact that he is in limited circumstan-
ces. he is entitled to, aud deserves, the aid
and sympathy of the people in the neigh
borhood, and we trust will receive it

The feather renovating establishment of
J. W. Shelton & Co., who have been To-
Gated here for three months, left US on
Thursday. We believe that we express
the general sentiment of our community
when we say that we are sorry to part
with them. They are gentlemen in every
respect, and their work comes up to the
full letter OF their promise. They have
renovated thousands OF beds for the people
of Woodstock and the county generally,
and in no case did they fail to give salts
faction. We confidently recommend
them to the people of Martinsburg and
Berkeley county, among whom they next
locate.

vestibuled Trains on the B. & o. R. R

The first Of the Baltimore and Ohio
Company's new yestibuled trains has been
turned out Of Mt. Glare Shops and an ex-
perimental trip was made with it August
| 10th. The train was run from Baltimore
to Keyser, 21j miles, in five hours. On
the line between Baltimore and Keyser are
some of the sharpest curves on the B. 4 o.
Road but Notwithstanding the high rate
Of speed maintained the swaying of the
train was scarcely perceptible, the oscilla-
ton at the top of the car not exceeding siA
inches
This test fully demonstrates what has
heretofore been claimed for the yestibule
device and that is, that it effectually
obviates the swaying motion impaired to
a train in rounding curves at high speed
The new train will be Immediately placed
in regular service between Philadelphia
and Chicago.
All other through trains on the b. n q
will be fitted with the vestibule appliance
as rapidly as possible, and within the next
sixty days it is thought to have the WORK
completed.
