FLANK ROAD-wAsHINGTO AND ROCK
WILLIE TURNPIKE COMPANY.
THE PRESIDENT AND DIRECTORS, with the
IL majority OF the Stoc kholders, have determined
to construct this turnpikea Plank Road, runnn q
from the city boundary Seventh street to the line
OF the District and Montgomery county, Mary LAND,
and for that purpose will issue stock, to the
tent of seven hundred and fifty shares, of ttoenf
to solicit and receive subscriptions to the same.
Books open at our office for the purpose.
Fiue dollars each share is to be paid at the time
Of subscribing, and like amount every sixty
days until the whole is paid.
The advantages of such road 10 the city, and
the property in the vicinity of the road, must be
apparent to all conversant with its situation. There
is but little doubt that similar road will DO
built connecting this road with Rockville and
Brookvile--the last in the midst of fine agri-
cultural country; thus opening direct and easy
route from Montgomery and the upper part OF
Anne Arundel counties to this city for the trans
portation OF the products OF that and the surround
ing country.
Plank Roads are being most extensively con-
structed throughout the country, and have srerp-
iohere proved profitable Investments, paying large
dividends to the stockholders, besides improving
the value of property near them, and greatly in
creasing the trade in the places through which
they pass
considerable portion of the stock has already
been subscribed
Holders of the old stock in the company are enti-
tied 10 one share of stock for every foo shares
of the Old which will be issued TO them surren-
der of the old certificates. The road will pro-
badly be finished in less than twelve months and
ready for travel The cost will be lees than 49,
600. IL is thought il will pay dividend Of not less
than five per cent the first year after il is finished,
and the dividends will steadily increase.

French Glass for Conversation & Reading,
W'iH be opened on Tuesday, the l4A inst, at p.
TINE OBJECT OF THIS CLASS is to aid in
Il every possible way those persons in Washing
ton who desire to acquire an accurate knowledge
of French, and to learn not only TO read, but to
speak the language fluently. Most persons in the
United States acquire their knowledge through the
eye alone, and hence the number of individuals
here who read tolerably well, but do not compre-
bend word of French when spoken, or even wher
read, by another. To such persons such Glass
promises very great advantages.
The members will meet at the rooms of PROBES
sor ID. E GRoUx, native of France, who will di
rect and superintend the exercises, opposite
Browns Hotel, where tickets may he had.
