We noticed at the depot a few days two 2 horse wagons, imported directly from the manufacturer inVVis-consin. We do pot know by whom they were purchased, but we do kmw that Mr Lickliter, of this city, can make just as good, 'and. we doubt not at less cost. These wagons were flashily painted, and made a very tractive a pearance. We have mechanics here in that line of business who can put on the fancy touches equal to any others, and we can se no reason why all orders of this kind are not left witk our owu workmen.

Vie also ob served at the depot a steam boiler and engine directed to Jones Long, Harrisonburg. Id came from Richmond. This kind of work be done just as well, ami a little cheap er, either at the establishment of Eyler, Cooper or that of i'uo Staunton Iron Works, W. A. Burke, manager.

Our people. of the Valley should work together, and give mutual encouragement and e.Ki.stance. Until this is done we will not enjoy the prosperity we should, for the success of the meohaaiuat brandies largely contributes to seiner! prosperity. Col. John Baldwin.

During service at the Episcopal church on last Sabbath Col. Baldwin was taken suddenly sick, with a tempo rary paralysis of his arm and leg. He was sit ting in his whev he remarked to Mr Bald win that he felt as though ha would faint. Dr. Donaghc was sitting near, and told him he had better go out.

The Col. remarked that he could not get up. He was then carried out of. the church, laid on cushions and afterwards convey ed to his residence on a litter- We are pleased to learn that he has eutirely recovered the use of his 1 rm and is now only affected with debility. The attack on this occasion was similar in character, but more aggravated, to the one he had several months ago.

He had cently been to New York to consult eminent medical gentle men, as to his health, and war informed that he was in perfect health, and could resume with im punity his Since then he has been engaged in several important cases, requiring great mental labor. A few days previous to this attack he appeared in an important land suit in Bath county, involving large property, in which he made one of the ablest arguments of his life, aa we learn, and gained the case. He alent but little the night succeeding, and at 4 o'clock the following morning took the stage at warm Springs and traveled to Millboro and then entered the cars for Richmond. He returned home on Saturday, and Sunday morning ate a very hearty breakfast. It was thought this over exertion and imprudent diet hrought on the attack Sunday.

Since the above was in type, and just as we go to press, we learn that Col Baldwin is worse, and fears are entertained as to his recovery. A profound concern pervades the entire community. Shenandoah Valley Road. Ths prospect of the early completion of this road is flattering. Work is progressing as rapidly a' possible on the line up to Lur and arrangements are being made to locate the route to its connection with the Chesapeake Ohio road, either at Staunton or Fisherville.

MaLelland, president of the Shenandoah Vtlley road, ex-Gov. A. G.

The importance 0 the road to this point the early completion of or jfc lsnerviue was 1m- pressed upon them by tlie information obtained by their inspection. andjthey left fully convinced that the policy of the mpany was to push forth renewed energy.
