cation aud repeal by the Legislature. y
Your petitioners show your honorable
body that neither the counties, nor the
towns along the line of this road nor
the State have received the intended
consideration of this immunity, which
was the CO mpletion of through line
of railway between the principal termi-
nal points mentioned in the charter.
The DAD has dragged along, and after
near ly thirty years from the beginning
OF the work, has only been finished as
far as Lex ipgton, about half the dis
tsnce fro m Lexington to Salem.
Under these circumstances we re-
specially submit that condition Of
things has arisen which justifes the
exercise OF the power expressly re-
reserved by the Legislature. and the
withdrawal CT the exemption from tax
alton which was thus conditionally
given by the Act of 1861.
The Board OF Supervisors OF Rock

appeal to the Ge neral Assembly for
relief, and ask that Section 6 Of the
Act of March 1, 1867. may be repealed

it conditio nally conferred be with
drawn.

Supervisors Of Rockbridze have caused
this petition to be signed by j. P.
W Welsh, the chairman of the Board of
Supervisors, and to be attested by A.

An eminent American lawyer, now
deceased, was sadly given TO intoxica-

church while a minister was holding
forth on the future punishment Of the
wicked.
Fixing his eye upon the lawyer, who
was reeling near the door, the preacher
exclaimed, "There stands a sinner
against whom shall bear witness IN
the day Of judgment"
At this the lawyer folded his arms,
planted himself as firmly as he could
and, addressing the man In the pulpit,
electrified the whole congregation after
