this, however, there is little doubt they will
move themselves out Of musical mood, and
"lana their lorp on the willow"
The Orange and Alexandria Railroad is now
completed 10 the distance ofabout Is miles. 1t
is splendid road, and will contribute TO ''length
en the cords" and ''Strtnghcn the stakes of
our good old town. Two MAGNIFICENT passen-
ger carshavG been received from New Jersey,
and been placed ON the track, which run to the
terminus twice day. y Jolly time they have
who take Il trip. The Cumberland Canal is
likewise making no INSIGNIFICANT contribution TO
the prosperity OF this place. The "Allegany
diamonds' are coming through with rush, and
lie in huge piles at the wharves;
Our ''sky is bright, and bli@htcnng.'
Yrs truly, BEN BLouMER.
