on Thursday evening, The cars from Hor.

are entertained for the safety OF the rail

vas reported taat serious damage had
been done 10 the Chambersburg Turn

The large bridge on the Cumberland

article in the State Register of November

We have seen the same charge in the
Charlestown Courier, wing paper. The
article alluded to was not designed for any
such purpose. We simply stated thai,
legislative action would be necessary as
we understood it, in order to carry out
the negotiation Of the commissioners,
(Messrs. Oakley and Ryan, but we did
not mean that Immediate legislation would
be necessary. At its regular session, the
legislature will take up and determine
what is proper to be done on the subject.
