&C, g., g..
A special meeting of the Directors of the
| Valley Railroad Company of Virginia was
held at the Baltimore & Ohio Building in
Baltimore, Friday. Messrs. Osmun. La
trobe, Decatur HI. Miller, Henry Duval, OF
Baltimore; R. w. Burke of Staunton; W.
A. Anderson of Lexington, and J. j. Allen
of Waskey S Mills, Va, We're i'll attendance.
MI. Miller was called to. the chair: Mr. w.
III. 1jams, Secretary. The resignation OF
MI. Samuel Spencer as President was ac-
copied and MI. Charles T. Mayer was elect
ed. Mr.. Mayer is also the President of the
B. q o. Ry. Mr.. Samuel Spencer has taken
a connection with the firm of DreXel,
Morgan Il Co., his position in it being that
of railroad expert. something very impor-
tant to the firm from it's vast transactions
with railroads and their securities.
1t is stated that the Vanderbilt party in
railroading, which has long desired to cap
ture the Chesapeake & Ohio system, has
taken a step in that direction. They control
the Bee line and have just purchased 5000
shares "a minority INTEREST," in the Big
-Four. The Big -Four is controlled by G. Z.
Huntington, DreXel, Morgan & Co., George
Bliss, and M. E. Ingalls,. The Vanderbilt
plan is said to be to make Mr.. ingalls,, Pres
ident Of the combination, if they can cap
ture the c. & O.
General Passenger Agent Fuller Of the
c. & o., has moved his office from Louis
vile to Cincinnati, and located it in the
Central Union Depot building.
The city council of Lexington, KY, has
refused to donate e35, eco to the Chesapeake
& Ohio Ry., to put it's car shops there. 1t
had probably heard of Stauntons $4,000
experience.
The Chesapeake & Ohio Co. has bought
property on Front street, Cincinnati, to
build a 140-feet longpassenger depot, for its
Maysyille and suburban trains only. The
other trains will still run into the Cen
tral Union depot.
An eating shop will be established at the
Chesapeake & Ohio shops at Huntington,
where meals will be furnished the employees
at cost price.
President ingalls,, Of the Chesapeake &
Ohio, has not yet appointed a paymaster to
succeed Paymaster Patteson, who resigns
to engage in the banking business. 1t is
said that the Chesapeake & Ohio will soon
begin to pay off by checks, just as the Rich
mond & Danville and other roads do If
this is the case, MI. ingalls, may decide to
abolish the title of paymaster.

MAR
VINDIcAToR OFFICE,

STAUNToN, VA, March 18th.
The Philadelphia Record in its review of
the markets for last week, says: FPrices of
wheat in Chicago have receded 51s to "a cents
per bushel and on the seaboard have declined
. to 81 cents per bushel within the week. as a
result of speculative realizations and ''short
selling, encouraged by the strained condition
of the markets and large movement of
both spring and winter wheat to primary mar
kets. There was an unexpected revival of
export demand from the Continent on Thurs
day, and the resulting business, though mode
rate, was larger than that on any day
for several months past. The Eastern markets
are evidently nearing an export basis, al
though the situation is unfavorable for any
increase in the movement from Chicago to the
seaboard Corn prices area shade firmer, part
ly owing to light receipts at Western centres
and partly because a cheapening of ocean
freights has favored export business at COM
paratively firm prices. Values of provisions
have ruled stronger, and in Chicago prices
have advanced IS cents per barrel for pork,
and Is and 271a cents per 100 pounds respect
lively for lard and short ribs.

THE USE OF PLANTS.

Plants purify the air that is being
habitually rendered unfit to breathe by
animals having already breathed it
They provide the animal kingdom with
food and often with shelter. They pro-
tect the surface OF the earth from
being too mach scorched by the suns
rays by day, and too rapidly cooled by
radiation at night. they prevent the
too rapid evaporation of the rain fall;
and they supply man with fuel, medi-
cine, and many materials for arts end
manufactures.

They thought that dust came in with the
sun, ana SO kept their best rooms dark, llv-
ing IN tnelr kitchens, with big fires in the
open cnlmneys and bare floors. In this way
they lessened the number of germs, but, by
thelr mistakes as to their origin, they in
creased their virulence
we now know that the conditions OF
groWtini OF the dust plants are those OF all
piant lIe-warmth and moisture, with the
I ~ condition that life is not necessary.

iui 70 them, but light places are dryer than

ar Is not favorable. probably because an
a as. circulation of air means dryness and
often GOODNESS.
= Inc great question of modern housekeeping
Is now TO protect ourselves from these plant
growtns, and the answer which the lecturer
gave was, first, not to furnish them food, and,
second, not to furnish the conditions OF
DARKNESS and dampness under which they
tnrlve: Sun and air are best allies. Dr.
Carvelly says, Cleanliness both of the per
son, and more particularly of the dwelling
or school, Is of the very utmost Importance
In maintaining purity of air as regards
micro. organisms. and one which from this
point of view has not been previously adyo-
Gated. Though far from depreciating the
beneficial effect of abundant air space, yet
we think that the frequency with which the
air of a room is changed is a far more i'm
portant point TO be attended to In providing
pure atmosphere.
