A Land of longevity.

No well informed person will deny
that the Valley of Virginia is one OF
the choicest portions OF the earth +
surface, a truth asserted by many
writer's during the last one hundred
years The average duration of hui
man life must be very high in this
section. In Shepherdstown and JEFF
ferson county there are number OF
persons considerably over eighty
years of age who are still possession
Of their mental and physical faculties
and living evidences OF the salubrity
of our climate and the healthfulness
Of our section But it is not by local
observation only that these facts are
apparent. The deductions OF science
prove the same thing Prof. \. 5.
Shaler in an article published in
Scribnsr's Magazine last October
says:
This region Of southern uplands
has in soil, its forests, and its mineral
resources a combination Of advan-
tages perhaps greater than those Of any
other area in the world; and in addition
to those favoring conditions the re-
gion possesses an admirable climate.
In winter the temperature falls low
enough to insure the preservation OF
bodily vigor, in summer the heat is
less ardent than III the lower lying
regions of the New England and New
York group of States. In the Vir-
ginia section we find climate re-
sembling in its range of temperatures
those which characterize the most
favored regions of the old world, and
it is there, perhaps, we may look for
the preservation of our races best
characteristics.
The Shenandoah Valley is indeed
the garden spot OF this country. And
modest Shepherdstown, in its very
gate way, is at last awakening to a
sense of its undeveloped greatness.
Our light is no longer to be hid under
bushel, but Shepherdstown propos-
es to arise and shine.

News of the Railroads :

Last Friday night the engineer who
takes away loaded cars from the
stone crusher at this place and puts
in empty ones was in too big hurry,
and knocked couple of the cars of
the track, besides tearing down the
elevator OF the crusher The ballast
train had to come down to get the
cars on the track again.
The n. & w. is running a great
many double header trains over the
road now, and as a consequence the
freight men find business very dull.
They are only making three or four
days a week now.
A freight train on the \. & w. Rail
road jumped the track at Stanley last
Thursday night. and Engineer James
Riley, of Hagerstown, had one of his
feet pretty badly crushed.
Lechlider Bros, of Hagerstown,
have contracted to furnish the B. &
0. Railroad 900 telegraph poles to re-
place those broken down by the

Last year 256 passengers were killed
and $50 injured by railroad accidents

! 1t seems to be about settled that

the main line at Front Royal. From
that place it will be run in almost an

the work Of construction will be COM
menced in a couple of months. Sew
eral corps Of engineers are now at

Four young men were arrested at
Sandy Hook for stealing brass from
the b. & o. Railroad repair shops
They were put in Jail at Hagerstown.
General Manager Sands and Super
intendent Flickwir, Of the n. \ W.
Railroad, were in Shepherdstown
last week.
The people of Hagerstown are try
ing to get the Norfolk & Western
Railroad Company to locate its shops
in that place, and the officials intima
ted that all they want is present Of
the grounds and buildings. We think
| it would be well for Shepherdstown
| to look after this matter. The manu-
featuring shops now idle would prob
ably be a great inducement in the
way Of an offer to the railroad, and
at this place there are advantages
possessed by few other places along
the road. 1t would we'll pay Shep-
herdstown to buy the shops and
make them free gift to the COM
pany if that would secure the estab-
lishment OF repair shops here.

Well, Who Was the Ladys

Mr.. W. H. Seidenstricker, OF Ha-
gerstown, furnishes to the Globe of
that city an interesting contribution
to local war history. Referring to the
arrest and subsequent Imprisonment
of Col. Henry Kyd Douglas for wear
ing a Confederate uniform after the
war, the writer says:
| was provost marshal at that time
under General Seward, whose head
quarter. were at Martinsburg, | was
stationed at Kearneysville, at the
close of the war, and by virtue of
my position it was made my duty to
register the parole of all Confederate
soldiers coming into our lines at that
point, and at the saline time to read
them the law in regard to wearing
the Confederate uniform, which re-
uuired them within twenty-four hours
after coming into our lines TO put on
citizens clothing and to wear them
instead Of the uniform.
Col. Douglas was one Of the number
who reported to NE. After register
ing his parole and reading him the
law as had done in many other
cases. to the credit of Col. Douglas |
must say he was the only Confeder-
ate soldier who reported to me who
received the orders of the Government
with n spirit of submission. He
treated Inc with courtesy and re-
marked, Captain, the war is over,
and | expect to become a citizen Of
the United States and obey the laws
Of the same"
always regarded his arrest As a
great injustice to him. 1t was not
his intention TO violate his parole
neither was it done in that spirit, but
il was done to crafty lady friend
Of his who wanted his photograph
taken in his Confederate uniform.
He accompanied her, as | was in
formed in Shepherdstown at that
time, to the photographer with his
coat on his arm, so that he might not
create any undue excitement or at
tract special attention while on the
street, but in returning with the lady
to her home, and at her request, he
kept his coat on For that and that
alone he was arrested. Some busy
body, who no doubt wanted to make
himself conspicuous, reported him TO
the provost marshal at Martinsburg.
Through him | received the order
TO go to Shepherdstown and arrest
Col. Douglas and bring him to Mar
tinsburg. He was there placed in
the guard house for several weeks,
and then tried a. stated. On his re-
turn home he found himself minus a
nice family horse, saddle and bride,
which were made away with during
his confinement.
| never saw the Colonel until he
came to Hagerstown, 1868 or 90,
when he related his experiences to
me. | had in my possession the neg
alive OF the photograph OF the lady
mentioned, which | gave the Colonel,
and for which he thanked me very
kindly, and l am sure he appreciated
it all the more.
