Hotel as Wilson, Clarke and Green, having in
their possession three horses answering to de
scriptions in an advertisement for three horses
stolen in Brooke county, West Va. The men
were Dut in .ail, from they .ought to be
_ etiCued by a habeas corpus before Judge Fultz,
but, pending this application, telegrams passed
to Brooke county, and finally the owner of the
horses arrived and instantly recognized them as
the stolen animals advertised—and the men as
beinr; brqt...ei_:, asa neighbors of witness—named
ftonovau instead'of Clarke and Green; the oth
er, calling himself Wilson, was unknown to the
witness. The horses were reclaimed for the own

It is said that some other machine than the
Wheeler & Wilson is preferred by the good peo

having a sewing machine of this kind has ex
changed it for Singer, the Florence, or Wilcox

as the first party has an agency here now.

Free Masonry.
We clip the following history of this ancient
order, from the Lynchburg Virginian, which
that paper condensed from a sketch of Masonry
published in the Norfolk Journal:
At the beginning of the American revolution,
Virginia lodges were working under charters
from the Grand Lodges of England, Scotland
and Ireland, and there was no Grand Lodge of
Virginia, as now. A convention was called by
ttaMasters and Wardens of the various Lodges
of tue cdony, which met at Williamsburg, May
6th, 1777. The delegates were Matthew
Phripp, from Norfolk; James Kemp, from
Port Royal; Duncan Rose, from Blandford ;
William Waddill and John Rowsay. from Wil
liamsburg, and William Simm 3 and John Craw
ford, from Cabin Point.
It was then determined to organize a Grand
Lodge and elect a Grand Master, and a com
mittee was appointed to prepare a manifesto to
that effect. The convention adjourned to meet
at Williamsburg May 13, wh.n the report of the
committee was adopted, aud the body adjourn
ed until June 23.
In pursuance of the action thus taken, five
Lodges sent delegates, viz: Blandford, Port
Royal, Fredericksburg, Williamsburg and Cabin
Point, and James Mercer was elected president.
They recommended for the office of Grand
Master "His Excellency General George Wash
ington."
In consequence of a summons from the Right
Worshipful James Mercer, the Convention
again met in Williamsburg on the I3_h of Octo
ber, 1778, and organized There were present
Robert Andrews, W. M._ James M. Fountain,
8. W.; James Willsan. J. W.; Duncan Rose,
Tyler; and Wm. Waddill, Secretary. The oth
er brethren were James McClurg, John M.
Gait, Christopher Pryor, James Belches and
John Crawford.
The public duties of Brother George Wash
ington having prevented him from accepting
the position of Grand Master, the Right Wor
shipful Warner Lewis was nominated. He
however declined ; after which the Right Wor
shipful John Blair, of Williamsburg was nomi
nated and unanimously elected.
_ On the 30ih of October, 1778, the Conven
tion again met at. Williamsburg. There were
present Robert Andrews, W. M; Dr. James
Taylor, S. W.; James Gait. Treasurer; Duncan
Rose, Secretary, and forty-four other brethen.
The Lodge was opened in due form, and W. M.
Robert Andrews installed the R. W. John Blair
in the office of Grand Master of Virginia, who
then appointed the R. W. and Rev. Robert
Andrews, D G. M.
Such is a brief history of Masonry in Virgin
ia up to the formariofi of the Grand Lodge and
the installation of the first Grand Master of the
State. Since that time the order has greatly
Houiished, until it now numbers two hundred
and thirty-three Lodges, with Thomas F.
Owens, Esq., as Grand Master, to whose ef
ficiency the Journal pays a merited tribute.
Our Richmond Letter.
Richmond, Va,, April 10th, *
Our city has been unusually quiet for the
past few days, and the Police Court each morn
ing has proven, by the small number of cases,
that we are a law-abiding and peace-loving set
of citiz-ns.
The Municipal War is about to be brought
to a close, and the true men who have been
faithful to the City Government will be re
warded, for once in our life time right will pre
vail and might wiil he left out in the cold. —
Never before in our recollection has such been
the case and it seems a little odd lor tbe true
Virginians and cur cwn people to be holding
the offices and looking after the interests of our
people. Matters, however, begin now to as
sume a healthy appearance and it wiil not be
long we hope before victors? tyill perch on our
banners. There can h:irf_iy be a people who
have suffered more of late than the
people and certainly BO«_ 'who appreciate the
just result more than they do here.
The Legislature has been engaged since last
Wednesday in the election of City and Corpor
ation Judges, and so soon as they finish with
these they will go at once into the election of

The Railroad Engineers of America.—
Brick Pomeroy, in an article recounting the
heroism of an engineer on the Erie road, closes
as follows:
"And who of those who ride ever think of
the engineer with his oily clothes, his keen eye,
his well-trained hand, his- advanced position,
and his responsibility? Too few of us we fear.
We chat with the conductor, we tell him sto
ries, we say he is a good fellow, as he is; but
there is another on the train in whose keeping
we are when rushing over the rails, and that is
the engineer.
"Thank God, they are brave, sober, earnest
men. They are undervalued, overworked, and
underpaid ; they are not noticed because they
do not dress well, they are seldom thought or
spoken of because they are workingmen or
'mechanics,' but who of us all gye hatter, bra
ver, or Pj.q.- _j_se_ving, than the railroad engi
neers of America."

was attended by several eminent physicians, and
used a great many patent medicines, none of
which gave any relief or mitigated her sufferings
in the least. Her feet. kn< es, and hands were
very much swollen, and the intense pain attend

her that she could not turn in bed. About this
time we heard of your __ II- Healing Liniment

procured and applied according to directions,
which gave her almost immediate relief, ena

recommend them to the public as invaluable
remedies. Yours, with respect, E. P. Lane.

Occupational Ailments.
Fresh, pure, air is a vitalising elixir. Whoever
is debarred by circumstances from unrestricted
access to this invisible, but powerful stimulant,
needs a medicinal invigorant of some kind. The
great object should be to choose the best. Pop
ularity is a pretty good guarantee of merit in this
scrutinizing and intelligent age, and tried by this
criterion Hostetter's Stomach Bitters stands first
among the invigorating ami regulating medicines
of the present day. To the wants of persons en
gaged in indoor employments, especially in
crowded factories where even with the best possi
ble ventilation the atmosphere is always in some
degree polluted, this salubrious vegetable tonic
is peculiarly adapted. The nature of the ingre
dients is no mystery. It consists of an absolute
ly pure diffusive stimulant, tinctured—or rather
surcharged—with the fluid extracts of sanatous
roots and barks and herbs. The pharmacopoeia
has its tinctures, but what are they? The juice of
only a single root or bark or plant is present in
each. Not one of them combines the three prop
erties of a tonic,, an alterative, and aperient. Ali
these elements are blended in the Bitters ; nor are
these the sum of its medicinal recommendations.
It is also a blood depurent and an antispasmod
ic.
The baleful effect which air that has been par
tially exhausted of its oxygen by frequent breath
ing produces on the vital organization, is notori
ous, and when to this devitalized atmosphere is
superadded the menhitic vapor of hot air fur
naces, it becomes deleterious and depressing in
tbe extreme. To enable the system to bear up,
even for a few hours each diiy*against the debili
tating influence of a vitiated atmosphere, x
wholesome tonic and alterative is urgently re
quired. This grand desideratum is supplied m
Hostetter's Bitters, which is a strength-su.-.taining,
health-protecting a;-.enthas no rival either among
officinal or advertised medicines.

The remarkable success which attended our
negotiation of the Loans of the Central Pacif
ic Railroad Company and the Western Pa
cific Railroad Company, and the popularity
and credit which these Loans have maintained
in the markets, both in this country and Europe,
have shown that the First Mortgage Bonds of
wisely-located and honorably managed Rail roads
are promptly recognized and readily taken as
the most suitable, safe, and advantageous form
of investment, yielding a more liberal income
than can hereafter be derived from Government
Bonds and available to take their place.
Assured that, in the selection and negotiation
of superior Railroad Loans, we are meeting a
great public want, and rendering a valuable ser
vice—both to the holders of Capital and to those
great National works of internal improvement
whose intrinsic merit and substantial character
entitle them to the use of Capital and the confi
dence of investors—we now offer with special
confidence and satisfaction the
First Mortgage Bonds
OF THE
Chesapeake and Ohio Bailroad Company.
The Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad, con
necting the Atlantic coast and the magnificent
harbors of the Chesapeake Bay with the Ohio
"yer at a point of reliable navigation, and thus,
with the entire Railroad system and water trans
portation of the great West and Southwest,
FORMS THE ADDITIONAL EAST AND
WEST TRUNK LINE,
soimperatively demanded for the accommodation
of the immense and rapidly-growing transporta
tion between the Atlantic seaboard and Europe
or. the one hand, and the great producing regions
ot the Omo and Mississippi Valleys on the other.
THE IMPORTANCE
OF THIS ROAD AS A NEW OUTLET
FROM THE WEST TO THE SEA
magnifies it into one of national consequence,
and insures to it an extensive through traffic from
