Although the latter end of January has arrived,
we seem to be still quite as far off of winter as we
were two months ago, and the idea is beginning to
be seriously entertained that we will have no win.

gathered, and the harvest seems to be long way
off.
Two workmen met with violent deaths this morn.
ing at the Mount Clare depot of the Baltimore and
ONO Railroad, by being crushed between the cars.
Inc immense increase of the business of the road
has rendered the spacious grounds of the company
at Mount Glare altogether insufficient for the safe
movement of the scores of locomotives constantly
trayersing the tracks, and it is matter of wonder
that there are not more accidents. The extensive
Camden street depot will be ready for the bu-
siness of the roads, covering about ten acres OF
ground, when these accidents will doubtless be less
frequent.

her crew on board, although waiting for men since
last August.

WHEELING.-One of the effects of the recent ex-
cursion to this place was TO make known more
fully its very superior manufacturing capabilities
The various manufactures Of iron, glass, silk, pa
per, &c., were visited by intelligent men from all
quarters of the East and West, who were surprised
at the perfection to which those manufactures have
been brought in place whose rise is comparative
ly so recent. 1t is stated that between two and
three millions of dollars are invested in manufac
lures at Wheeling, and that the population of the
city has increased from seventeen thousand to
twenty-five thousand since the census was taken
in 1850 Cumberland Journal.
