The distance by the Hue of the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal from the guard lock at Cumberland to titlewater at Georgetown is 184.4 miles. The canal was opened for navigation over the whole route from tidewater to Cumberland October 10. 1850.

W. McSherrv, went to Baltimore ast Friday to endeavor to prevent I lie removal of the Baltimore and Miio Railroad workshops from that rown, and the transfer of the termi- lusof the first division and the be- ginning of the second division to a Brunswick, Md. The delegation called President Mayer, and J. W. Bishop, 'hairman.

Many of these nen owned their houses, and others md their homes partially paid for. The change proposed had already de- preciated property, and if it was made do great injury to the town. Mr. Bishop said that if the B.

O. did 0 make the change, they would use all heir influence against the company, liscontinue their patronage, and cease goods from Baltimore uier- jhants. Mr. Bishop theu asked if the of the change were true, mil when they would go into effect. President Mayer said that the coin- pany had determined to move the a to Cumberland and the freight headquarters to Brunswick gradualy, so as not to injure Martinsburg.

lie did not want the people of Mar. insburg to be in the least doubt 1 lie purposes of the road upon these inestions. He told them the conclu- lion had not been arrived at hastily )r recently, but had been a long time inder consideration; that it was important for the proper operation of lie road and the making-up of its that shops and yards should be onveniently located, and the changes ire not being made with any inten- ion to damage Martinsburg. hut were lolely heiielit of travelers, and the convenience of the com- any. He described the superior ad.antag' of Brunswick for a great S( 'reight station and drilling ground 'or trains; that it was on a plain, and ivas a practical and logical point for rain movements; and the land was t.

purchased there because sufficient irea could not be obtained at a mod- jrute priue near Baltimore. He said he conformation of the land at Mar- insburg. with its hills, did not allow arrangements there. The discussion between President Muyer and his visitors was very ani uated, and vigorous language was 1 1K? wnnlit in. erfere with trade to Ualtiinore and jppose tlie romi every way in their lower if the change is made.

The year's industrial improvements in the Norfolk and Western Railroad ines were 12 blast furnaces, 8 rolling uills, 68 foundriesand machine works, to wood-working establishments, 151 jther manufacturing plants, 48 iron nines, 2.600 coke ovens, 45 hotels, besides street railways, elestric plants, ivater and gas works, schools, etc. The works In contemplation, some of tfhieh will probably be begun this 5 fear, almost equal in number those lust completed. Nearly all the railroads running hrough Pennsylvania are making arge reductions in their working 'orces. The retrenchment is made tj lecessary on account of depression in he coke and iron trade.

By way of comparison let is suppose that a farmer raises 1.000 jushels of wheat a year and sells this -( jut to 1,000 different persons In all S( arts of the country, a great many of hem saying: "1 will hand you the lollar in a short time." The farmer loesn't want to appear small and says ill right. Soon the wheat is gone but le lias nothing to show for it, and lie hen realizes that he has frittered away 'I lis whole crop, and that it is due him a thousand little driblets, con- lequently lie is seriously injured in his jusiness because his debtors, each ow- ng him a dollar, treat it as a small ti natter, and think it would not help t' nuch.

Although he eft here over fifty years ago, Mr. Ihepherd remembered by some of ur old citizens. His father owned tl ud operated the flouring mill now te wned by Mr. John D. Staley.

The pi eeeased accumulated quite a large ortune in the West, which he leaves pi the four eons who survive him. ol le was for many years a member of (t he Methodist Church, and was a man ly reatly respected by all who knew im. His remains were interred in the oi emetery at Springfield. Mrs. Julia Underdonk, widow of the 1 ttc Henry Uuderdonk, died at the 1 esidence of her son in law, Mr.

James tandall, near Greeneburg, Berkeley 0fl ounty, on Monday last. She was er ver 00 years of age. She spent most her life in the Kearnevsville neigh- re orhood, where she had a large cirle of friends. Her remains were in- erred in Elmwood Cemetery on Wed- t0 esday. 01 lft Mrs.

this fate, jumped from the Baltimore and t. Louis express while it was run- ing at the rate of forty miles an 01 our near Washington Junction last 'hursday night. At Harper's Ferry had fallen asleep, and shortly was roused by somebody making a re- lark about a wreck, lie thought te aiuething had happened, but.dis- -c lissed the idea when he saw a hulf aI ozen passengers undisturbed. Fall. lg into a nap again the word wreck nine into his mind a second time.

At Washington Junction all the passeuers in the coach got out while Mr. OI Watts slept. Xear ltarnesville lie 1 egan to dream. He thought he 01 eard some one repeat the word 1,1 wreck," and when he opened his yes lie was startled to find the coach Hl inpty. The thought Hashed across et is mind that a collision was near at R1 and and the other passengers had un for their lives.

He hurried to the 81 ear door, quickly passed out upon sl lie platform and leaped olT into the FM ark, leaving his valise and hat be- 1,1 ind. He dropped into a ditch, and award dawn regained consciousness. 111 that time lie was sitting on a log ear the railroad track. At first lie as dazed and unable to walk. His 1 re yes were so swollen that lie could l' ardly see.

His lips were split, bis tv ose bruised, his arms skinned to the Ibow and his coat and trousers were al arn. He thinks lie struck on his 1,1 cad. When he gained sufficient trength, he walked a mile down the rack and boarded a train at Boyd's ('c tation and went to Baltimore. mall Induttries Will Pay. The Virginia Manufacturer, in dis- ussing the manufacturing and bnxiess interests of the rapidly develop- ig Shenandoah Valley, says is little doubt a great aftenion to some of the small industries Qf rould yield results but little dreamed aj at the present day.

We cannot ull large factories. Some of us must fe content with small shops. But to hen there is less risk involved, and, r(J good judgment is shown in the se- of a place, a much quicker rofit is assured. There are many ar icles in every day use that are now lade in the North which can be iade just as well and certainly as heap In the South. Tin shops, small lachine shops, establishments for the 0t taking of wooden-ware, to say notli- pj tg of shops in which what may be i 1 jrillfu uk iiuuik-b hi a -nil these will pay handsomely Jn the ew towns.

Clever men will And no tli iilleulty in disposing of what they inke." Ul The above remarks are undoubted- true. In reaching after large in" ustries the smaller ones nre often verlooked.

t'. ir New Railroad Prospect. A year ago the early construction the Cumberland and Washington ailroad, on the bed of the and Ohio Canal was accepted many as a foregone conclusion, he decision of the Maryland courtsowever, turning the canal over to le Trustees, to be restored as a war-wav. under certain limitations rescribed by the court, necessarily ostponed the construction of the roposed railroad, and compelled a lange of plans on the part of that he C. A company.

The generalrecognized and unquestioned purose of said road was to afford an itlet to the seaboard for the West irginia Central A Pittsburg Railroad ompany, terminating at present at umberland. While there has been an apparent dm and rest in the project for seval months past, the last teu days lere has again been quite an active vival of public interest and discuson. A rumored plan to build the umberland and Washington road aud then seire control of the Western Mary" nd. and use it as a connection and itlet to Baltimore and the seaboard, to some correspondence between resident Hood, of the latter road, and le Mayor of Baltimore City on the ibject, which is still being discussed. The views of several well-known mtlemen.

prominent financially and officials of the W. Ya. C. A P. ere obtained on the situation and obable outcome thereof, and pubdied in the Baltimore "Sun" of the th inst.

Among them, Mr. S. B. Ikins, Vice-President, is quoted as lying, "it was undoubtedly theinten011 of his company to reach tideater, but what route it would take, oukl be utilized, was consideraon not yet fully matured." Mr. John A.

liambleton, a director id member of the finance commit is quoted us paying, "Our road is to tidewater at Baltimore, id is coming by an independent inte. What this route will lie, will pend very much on the propertyelders between Baltimore and Cumirland. We will take the cheapest le that is available." This presents anew the interest of ir town and vicinity in this quesoii. A good location naturally is orth something itself, and in this Shepherdstown has been favorI. It is certainly in "the line of ailability." When the B.

0. was located through this county, a irvey therefor was made through lepherdstown, affording from Mark's Ferry to, say, North Mountain, Berkeley county, a practicable and route than that adopted, other tluenees in that day prevailing. irectnett in route, which curtails dis.nce, if approximately equal in other speots. is a main consideration in lis day, when quickest time between 10 given points is an end in view. The next important inquiry is, probile cost of construction and operat.

by this route. In that respect we not think investigation and comirison will be to our prejudice. In land damages is often a material In this we feel that the people nerally along the projected line ill act liberally. So far as we have ard expression, the road would he ven a hearty welcome, which itself dicates a friendly that ould prompt aid and encourageent. Hence, feel assured that right way can be secured on quite favorde terms.

Hy tlie projected route through Jefrson and Berkeley counties referred (the original B. O. survey), the ad would not only touch where it would be given a tarty welcome, as was given tlie old lenandoah Valley years ago, but it ould come in close contact with omising business points along the ie, natural centres in their local sec tins; also witli vftluahle iron ore and her mineral deposits, undeveloped irtially for want of an outlet; also ith the growing cement business just dow town; the rapidly developing mestone industry at Bukerton, and ie Knott and Flanagan quarries by, as well as the large and valibie iron ore deposits at and adja fit to the old and well-known Virnia Ore Banks, on the Potomac, six iles from iiere. At several of these lints a railroad would manifestly act ie leaven in the meal, make them tread and grow, and not without utual advantage, the carrier sharg in the benefits of the increased isiness and trade. Our call then, upon the people along le projected line is, prompt and irneit action, hearty and united Tort in leathering all such facts and ita as will fairly present the inducements and considerations in favor of tit route, and its submission then, rmulated and in proper shape, to le authorities of tho W.

G. Gibson's Drug store. Highest of ill in Leareaing COMMUNICATED. OUR COUNTY ECONOMY. The people of the county have spent more on our county roads sinc? the year 1800 than would suffice to make asphalt pavements throughout the county, not only in taxes, but in the wear and tear of wagons, buggies, harness, horses, and failure of getting their produce to market, when such produce was at the height of the market.

Yet, with all that has beeu spent, we have roads that are impassable instead, and if the farmer lives any distance from the depot of shipment he is at the mercy of those who have good and is spending his money for naught when lie pays his road tax. Would it not be true economy to have the roads in a condition so that two horses uiav pull a load where it now takes four and five to do so, even when the roads are at their best There is no reason why the of Jefferson, if they see proper to do so, can't reiuedv this. They have it iu their power to retrench the cost and expense of carry iii? their produce to market; also in enhancing the value of their farms, if they should want to sell the aniue. They have the halanee of power in the county, nnd can demand the commissioners to place in every district suitable stone-crushers, which can be run with little cost to the county. And if they refuse, see to it thnt you elect such men that will ease and comfort, as well as prosperity to your homes and put you in easy aoI cess to market.

Let us have good mads, and we will thereby make old Jefferson the garden-spot of the world. F. COMMUNICATED. Mr. Washington, a well-known citizen of Hartatown, died at Friday morning, the rtth near 111 e.
