THAT IMPOIt riM' WORk.
Now w Iron Congress seems to know
no bounds to the appropriating of the
people's money, fur giving pensions,
equalizing pay, erecting statues, educa
ting and burying a certaiu class of men,
doubting lands to railroads, we think it
would be wise to ask that a munificent
appropriation be made to make the
Potomac river navigable by steam to
its source in the Alleghany mountains,
or to unite the Western and Eastern
waters by a hliip canal and slack water
through the mountains. This can be
done tor far less millions of dollars than
the "Panama canal," and will be much
more tangible iu its benefits. The \\ est
and the East are deeply interested and
can be greatly benefitted by the opening
of this avenue ot commerce. The un
told wealth of the mines and forests ot
t lie mountains ot this State, Maryland
and Pennsylvania, would find ample and
cheap shipment by this channel to the
markets ot the world. Cut asbip canal
across Maryland from the mouth of the
Monocacy to theCheHaj>eake Bay, thence
across to the Delaware Hay, and von
will save hundreds ot miles in distance
Irom the coal tields and lumber regions
? f .Maryland and West Virginia. From
Monocacy to Cumberland the Potomac
can be made nav'gabie for large sized
vessels at a comparative small cost.
Then the cost of uniting the Ohio and
Potomac waters is just such an enter
prise as such a nation as America should
undertake. Come Messrs. Senators and
Representatives, let's hear you talk out
boldly on this grand business scheme.
We have no constitutional ecruples
al. out your spending money to make
and save money tor the people.
CxjT' Woi<K ON THE S. \. 1J. li. IN
M vkyi.ano. ? Taking a stroll on Monday
h-t over the route of this road from here
lo the farm of Mr. B. F. Graves, we
were considerably surprised to seethe
rapid progress made in the grading of
the bed for the same. The contractors,
Messrs. Best & lloppook, are men ot
j unh and energy, and with a set of men
who know how to work, under the im
mediate supervision of their efficient
foreman, Mr. C. W. Mutchler, they are
n pi illy making tell the effect of their
labor.
The large culvert, 1G1 feet in length,
just opposite this place, ou the farm of
v ol Douglas, has been completed and
they aie now grading over the satue.
Their managers, Messrs. John and James
Shean, Hopewell, Angel, Iiearden, O'
Brien, Mutchler and Evarts, are gen
tleiueu thoroughly conversant with their
business, as their work will show. A
quarry from which they get some most
excellent stone, has been opened ou the
Douglas place, in the woods just be
yond the barn.
With fair weather aud with the num
ber of hands now employed, aud which
numbe r is being constantly increased,
it will not be long before a graded road
is completed between here and Hagers
to.v n; although, we may say it has hard
ly U'en oommeueed. A number of cul
v eits, some quite extensive ones, are yet
lo be made within the short distance
th -.t we tramped over, and much cutting
and filling will be required before
Sharpsburg is reached.
t zlT Fatal Accident.? We regret
to announce the sudden and untimely
death of one of our old and most estima
ble colored citizens, Abraham Dixon,
which occurred on Monday afternoon
last, lie in company with Messrs. Wal
ler and Charles McDonald, who reside
on the farm of Mrs. M. P. Andrews,
near town, were out in the woods load
ing a log of about three feet in diame
ter, on a wagon, when the chain they
were using to pull the log up on the
wagon with, broke, and the log came
running back upon uncle Abraham, who
when he saw it coming, ran 10 get out
ol its way, but stumbling, fell, and the
log passed over his left arm, breaking it.
This was the only mark of injury discov
ered on the body, death evidently being
caused from concussion. As soon as the
accident occurred, Drs. Keynolds and
Butler were summoned, but lite was ex
tinct. His body was brought to this
town, and buried from M. E. Church
colored, on Wednesday morning last.
His funeral was largely attended by
white and colored, for he was highly es
teemed by both.
llev. Henry Elbert, pastor in charge,
preached the fumral sermon. Uncle
Abraham was upward oi sixty years of
ago.
lie in the time of slavery, belonged
lo the late Hon. Henry Bedinger,of this
town, ami was ever a faithful and trust
worthy servant. llis death will not
only be regretted by his immediate fain
ily, but b) the community generally.
tetf- Mr. John Heller of Martinsburg,
who has for some years been success
fully engaged in the carriage manufac
turing and repairing business, at that
place, is now turning out some most ex
cellent work? that which will compete
with any city-made. Being a master
mechanic in his business, and employ
ing none but the best workmen, he is
at all times able to furnish to the satis
faction of his customers, vehicles of the
latest designs and upon the most mod
orate terms. There is no need offend
ing away from home for anything you
may need in his line, for we feel assured
that lie can supply all with work as
,,ood and as substantial as eau be got
ten elsewhere.
