The increased trade which has already come upon
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, even in antici
patton Of it's opening to the Ohio river, has made
it very clear that increased facilities will be neces-
sary to carry the trade which is to follow that
event. At the meeting of the Board Of Directors,
held on Saturday last, it was resolved to take i'm
mediate steps 10 secure the construction of sixty
miles of double track between Baltimore and Cum
berland, and forty miles of double track bet cen
Cumberland and Wheeling, in addition to the
sideIings now already constructed At the same
meeting it was also resolved to contract immedi
ately for new and locomotives to the amount
of S 100000. The aggregate sum necessary to
carry out these Objects it is estimated, will not be
over So, 100000.

PECULIAR METHOD OF OvERCoMING RUFFIAEs.-
A southern gentleman, who arrived here fort
night ago, supped on Tuesday, evening last with
friend in Tventy- ninth. street, and sta rted in
company with his host for the Astor House a mid
night: When they reached the corner Of Laight
and Varick streets they halted, the southern gen
teman insis ing that it was too late for the other
to proceed further down town, and recommend.
ing him to take the cars and go hone, They
stood under lamp post, and in order to convince
the Twenty ninth street gentleman that his own
domicil was the best place for him, our southern
friend pulled cut his watch and showed him the
time. This movement was observed by three ruff
fans concealed in the shade the opposite corner
They crossed the street, pretending to lie intoxi

said, in his blandest terms. Placing his hand in
one OF his pockets if to take out his time piece,
and drawing forth a revolver instead, he presented
the latter, and coolly remarked, "It is Just about
to strike three" The ruffians vanished in an in

this true anecdote by those who are abroad at

We un derstand that Charles Steson, ESQ.,, Pre-
sident of the Ohio Life and Trust Company, now
in this city as a committee from the Board Of D-
rectors, has rendered the cashership to Mr.. Chas.
w. Rockwell, of Connecticut, now in the Treasu-
ry Department ut Washington, and that Mr.. Ed
win Ludlow has been appointed associate cashies.
Both appointments will probably be accepted, if
confirmed, there is little doubt they will be by
the board at Cincinnati. Mr.. Ludlow has filled
for many years a highly important and confden-
tal position in the Office of the company IN this
city, and has gained hosts Of friends by his gene
raj amenity OF manner and promptncss Of business
habits. To the customers of the Office we think no
appointment could have been more satisfactory.

They are doing a good business, living well, and
