cWe believe—:-says the. Boonsboro'.
Odd Fellow—there is a reasonable foun
dation for the hope we enjoy of ultimate
ly having a railroad, pass through this
valley and this Pace. Only the other
day we saw a letter from D. V. Ahl, Esq.,
of Newville, Pa., President of the H. &
R. R., in regard to the prospects of
that road, and what ought to be done by
the cititens hero in order to insure a con
nection at this point. The H. & P. R. R.
is being pushed forward as rapidly as pos
sible, and in due time will undoubtedly
reach Waynesboro', and finally make
connection with the Western Maryland
Railroad at some point in this county.—
But that company has no charter to build
a road in this county, consequently can
go no further than the border unless a
charter should be secured hereafter from
our Legislature.
He ives it as hie opinion that the
Shenandoah Valley Railroad will and
ust-crass-the-Potoniac-at-Shepherdstown.
It is the object of that company to find
the shortest and most direct route to Bal
timore and north-eastern sea-board cities.
This is manifestly along the base of the
mountain, by way of Sharpsburg, Keedys
ville, Boonsboro', and down the completed
route of the Harrisburg and Potomac
Railroad. This route is shorter by many
miles to New York than any other, and
must eventually be adopted.
Under the circumstances, our duty is
plain, if we would make sure of a connec
tion at this point and hasten the matter.
Already we are in possession of a charter
granted by the Maryland Legislature, td
build a road from a point ou the Potomac
river, through Washington county to a
point on the Pennsylvania line. This is
all the Legislation we need. The next
step is to organize at once under this char
ter, secure,the stock necessary, and make
it the interest of the Shenandoah Valley
Railroad to connect withthis county, and
adopt the route leading to the H. & P.
road, at Smithburcir:some other point
ou the Western Maryland.
In this article we shall mainly point
out the way and the duty. without at
tempting to urge it ; we may do that here
after. We believe the plan proposed by
Mr. Ahl—to organize under the Antietam
Railroad charter, and urge a connection
with the Shenandoah Valley Railroad at
Shepherdstown—is the best and only one.
Hon. A. R. Boteler of Shepherdstown,
W. Va., in a reply to a letter of inquiry
as to the probable eastern direction of the
Shenandoah Valley Railroad says : "Al
though as yet nothing positive has been
arranged in regard to the, course ou r
road will take, after crossing the Potomac
at this point (which it is bound to do),
the chances are that instead of going due
north to Hagerstown, our line will be by
way of Sharpsburg and Boonsboro' to an
intersection with the Western Marylou
road at or near Smithsburg. We desire
to co operate with our efficient friends,
the Ahls, in their efforts to finish the Har
risburg and Potomac Railroad to this
point; as, whilst that line will afford an
outlet for the iron of the Antietam Works,
it will also be the shortest and most direct
route for our road to Baltimore and the
seaboard cities of the northeast."
SAVINGS BANE . CIIECKS.—The New
York Tribulze states that "The Southside
Railroad Company of Long Island has
recently instituted a system of paying its
employees with interest-bearing checks,
called 'savings bank checks.' Attached
to each check: are four coupons, one paya
ble at the end of each .quarter,.the inter
est being at the rate of eight per cent.,
and the ultimate payment being guaran
teed by a special deposit in the company's
first mortgage bonds with the New York
Safe Deposit Company. The checks are
issued in denominations of $5, $lO, $2O,
$5O and $lOO each, and are exchangeabl
at the company's office at the convenience
of the holders. The checks are, of course,
good for their face, upon demand, at any
time; but if held until the interests cou
pons become due, will be worth the inter
est in addition.. When the last coupon
becomes due, the check may be collected,
or exchanged ibr a new one with coupon;
for another year. There is a reciprocal
advantage in this method of payment; but
it is believed that it will be especially ad
vantageous to the employees, who will
thus be induced to habits of economy.—
Indeed, the 'savings bank check' is also
coming into great favor with them."
Does not this look as though some peo
ple thought there was not only not too
much, but even too little 'currency, and,
thinking so, want to have more?
Why should not the great railroad and.
mining companies generally, who daily
require to use enormous sums of money,
economize the use of currency after the
fashion of the Southside Railroad Compa
ny, provided they give ample security
therefor?
—An experienced business man desires
us to call the attention of our manufac
turing companies to the "savings bank
check" system referred to in the above ar
ticle. He thinks it would work well for
all parties concerned in the present de
pressed condition of financial affairs.
RED MEN's Pic Nrc.—On Friday last
about thirty members of Uncas tribe of
Red Men of this place attended a Red
Men's Pic Nic at Emittsburg, Md. They
were accompanied by our Band and were
in full regalia. Five Tribes of the order
and founands were present. Our in
formant says after partaking of a most
sumptuous dinner several addresses were
delivered, We presume music, war dan
ces, etc. concluded the exercises of the
day. The members of ITuoasTribe. were'
delighted with their iisit'aird: ftivia ably
impressed with} the hospitality of their
Maryland trethren.
PATENENT IMPROVEMENT.--We are
gratified to say that the important work
of paving has at last bieu*muicuieed
our town.
Mr. Joseph Keepers was the' first to
lead off at the West end of Main street.
He has laid a substantial pavement in,
front of his residence. Rev. J. F. Oiler
and Mr. John Price, Sr., on the same side,
have removed their - fences preparatory to
commencing i rthe same work. Others will
follow . soon. A pavement 240 feet has
been put down in front of the new school
house, and Mrs. Helen Brotherton, on
the property adjoining, has also laid an
excellent brick pavement. Messrs. Jacob
Adams, Andrew Wilson, George Frick
and others, are making preparations for
the work on South street to the Foundry
street. One of the finest improvements
in this respect has been added by Mr. E.
\V. Washabaugh, on Mechanic street, a
handsome brick pavement fronting his
property_sevcnty-seven feet.
The present season, as before intimated,
is the \ best for putting down new pave
ments, and those contemplating like im
provements should engage brick at once.
May we not hope that this pavement im
provement spirit may move tardy prop
erty holders in the business part of Main
street, East and West.
FATAL AcaDEN,T.—On Saturday even•
ing, says the Boonsboro' Odd Fellow,
Messrs. Schaffner and George Horine,
with Miss Hamill, of Oakland, and Miss
Bettie Meredith, of Boonsboro', were on
their way to the Mountain House, in Mr.
Horine's carriage. When descending the
hill at the southern end of Main street,
the shafts of the carriage became detached
and frightened the horse, which at once
benn to run and kick. In another in-
sta:ut the carriage, with its living freight,
was dashed violently against the fence,
and completely wrecked. Mr; Horine
was thrown over the fence into the adjoin
ing field, and Mr. Schaffner and the la
dies were cast with fearful.violence upon
the pike.
Those who saw the accident hastened
to the spot, and medical aid was summon
ed. Mr. Schaffner's wounds were found
to be mortal. His head was much bruised
and there was a ghastly cut in the right
temple, caused, doubtless, by a kick of
the horse, while the right ear was nearly
severed from the head. The physicians
decided that to remove him 'would cause
instant death, and he died where he fell
in less than an hour after the accident
had occurred. The other occupants of
the carriage were not -dangerously injured,
though all sustained severe bruises.
Mr. Schafiner was a native of Boons
boro', but for several years past has been
residing in Washington and filling a res•
ponsible position in the Patent Office.
r BUY A HontE.—We find the following
very sensible advice in an exchange:
"Why is it so many of our working men
live in rented houses ? It has always
seemed to us that in this country there is
no working-men, be he ever so poor and
humble. who may not; if he' will, better
his condition with each succeeding year.
To do this, ho must correct the habit of
spending every week the full week's ear
legs. He must begin by saving a little
instead of spending all. Half a dollar
will amount to twenty-six dollars in a
year. In four years this saving will give
the sum of over a hundred dollars. In
ten years, adding interest to hid savings,
the poor man will be able to buy a little
house. If he can save a dollar a week
instead of half a dollar, he can have a
house twice as large ; and larger still in
proportion to the weekly amount of his
savings. Who will not be a householder ?
It is what we waste or spend in useless selt
indulgence that keeps us poor.

no sooner presented than Lord Skelmers
dale offered $lO,OOO. This was quickly
followed by offers of 11,000 and 12,000,
and he was sold to Mr. Thomas J. Megib

"First Duchess of Oneida." The bid
ding started at $15,000, and quickly ran
up to $30,000, after which bids of $lOO
more were made, until she was sold to
Lord Skelmersdale for $30,600. A beau
tiful yearling, "Seventh Duchess of Onei

at $5,000, and quickly went up to $19,-

the "Tenth Duchess of Geneva': came in
to the ring. The bidding started at $5OO,
ran quickly up to $30,000, and then 'by
smaller bids to $35,000, at which she was
taken by Lord Bectiie, through Mr. Ber

The culmination of' the intense interest,
however, was reached in the bidding for
the "Eighth Duchess of Geneva," which
was sold to Mr. R. Pavia Davis, of Glou

cows of the "Duchess" family sold for
$238,800, an average of over $21,700.
Of these, six went to England at a cost of
$147,000, and five remain here at a cost

R. BLAIR All seems quiet along
the line since Hepsidam has had his wish
es partly gratified ; that is, some of the
old School Directors have retired. Let
that pass. Still we think that in the name
of the 75 children and in, their interest,
we have a right without over-stepping the
bounds of decorum, to express our convic
tions. We think that the present School
Board are not doing justice t' the State,
to the pupils, nor to the teacher. • Just
think of it 1 Seventy-five children depen
dent on one teacher in the secondary,
when three teachers could almost find
sufficient work to do if the engine is to be
run at "high pressure." School work is
second to no other work. It should be
performed slow and sure. When the
workmanship is completed it should be
durable and beautiful. Steam engines
and separators possess these qualities when
finished. No expense is spared to get the
quantity and quality of workmen to ac
complish this. At the head of all ma
chines, at the head of animals, at the
head of other men, stands the educated
man. Now, will Mr. Hepsidam explain
to us why the School Board think it econ
omy to employ less teachers than justice
to the children demands? For what
