Canton and Weston Rail Road.

The Editor Of Brunswicker having recent
ly been on visit to Carrollton, thus writes
upon his return home:--
1--WE found the people Of Carroll consider
ably excited with the Railroad fever. They
have long sought some scheme by which
their county should secure the benefits of u
road. The chartering Of the Canton and
Weston road and the promise OF Eastern cap
italists 10 take three-iourths of the stock,
has inspired them with new hope. We see
the capital stock in the charter, for this road,
is $l0,00o,000. If the Eastern capitalists
redeem their promise and tax three-fourths
Of the stock ($7,500 900, there will remain
but $2,500U00 to be taken by the counties
along the line. The counties through which
this road will pass, as designated in the char
ter, are Platte, Clay, Ray, Carroll, Charlton,
Macon, Shelby or knox-seven countless
Here are seven counties upon which will
devolve the taking of So 100000 Of stock,
or 1857, 1877 each. That they are amply able
to do 50, is manifest when we are made sc-
quainted with the fact, that these seven
counties now pay into the State Treasury
one-tenth of the revenue. An effort is being
made TO secure State aid to this road TO the
amount of 100000. Whether the effort
will prove successful, we are unable TO con-
lecture; but should the State AID sought be
obtained, we would object TO the burhen
upon the counties being less than 81, SOC, 900
for the reason that they are amply able to
pay that amount, and it would cause the peo-
pie 10 take an additional interest in the
work. Where they have TO pay their own
money and feel themselves stockholders,
they will throw 10 factions or unjust obsta-
cles in the way Of the enterprise, as for in
stance charging excessive damages for the
right of way, &c. Should the State take
$4,000 and the counties 81 100000,
there whill be left but $5,50o,000 to be
taken by the Eastern pitalists-just $500,
600 over half the entire stock. They were
the men who set this scheme on foot and
gave it vitality, and we have the utmost con-
fidence in their willingness to subscribe the
requisite amount of stock.
The prospect Of this road is bright. Let
the public once become satisfied oil its GER
tain completion, and tide of emigration will
at once set into Carroll and Charlton coun-
ties, which will astonish the natives. Land,
the best adapted for farming purposes Of any
on the Continent but which has gone with
out tiller since creation, and which can
now be bought for IS and $40 per acre will
at once quadruple in value. This is no fam
ey sketch, but will prove as certain as the
DEGREES of fate"

The LONDON ZINES AND THE TRADE OF
rAE UNirrD SrArrs.-The London Times,
of January 10Th, mas an article upon the
trade of the United States, in which, after
giving the figures recently published in the
report of the Secretary of the Treasury, it
soys:--
Now, even if we set aside for the mo-
ment the ties OF consanguinity aud common
descent, together with the incesSant inter
mixture Of personal interests which emigra-
ton produces, the merely commercial bonds
established between two communities thus
situated present an aspect almost marvel
lous. What increases, too, the wonders oil
the view Is the fact that scarcely any limits
can be put to the expansion which this in
tercourSe may yet receive. A glance al
the map OF the United States will show that
scarcely one-halt OF the territories OF the
Union is as yet brought under cultivation.
II the reader should wish TO get some
tangible idea Of the scope thus left available
for progress, let him take district Of which
good deal has been lately said and written
that Of Kansas. Kansas is only one Of
the provinces into which the American I'm
ion has the privilege of expanding itself
westward; indeed, it is not nearly SO extern
sive as the conterminous territory Of Ne
braska. Yet this kansas-lhis debatable
strip OF land which shareholders and Free
sellers are fighting for--is in itself as large
as Great Britain and Ireland put tosether.-
What limits can be put to the productive
ness Of country like this? As 10 corn and
breadstuffs, it is said that we are only be.
ginning TO discover the capabilities Of the
Northwestern provinces, and even with re-
gard to cotton, an article of much more
exceptional kind, prospects are now held
out OF an acceptable increase in the field of
supply.
No wonder, then, that the relations of
two such nations as Great Britain and A
merica should find expressions in works for
bridging the mighty ocean between them
works which in themselves 'partake Of the
character Of prodigies. The steamers of
the two countries have brought New York
nearer London than Edinburgh was but a
few generations ago, and the project for
rendering this communication absolutely in
Simultaneous is now assuming the appearance
OF reality and success. 1t is scarcely posi-
bic to repress establishment Of the amount
Of intercourse between this country and the
States, even as ii actually stands; what pro-
portions it may acquire IN few short years
is question 10 battle all attempts at divina-
ton or conjecture.

E5-There is an error in the public mind
as TO how often person can have the small
pox. A great majority of persons suppose
that once having this disease secures to the
person immunity from second attack. This
is mi'tate. OR physicians tell us there
is case reported in their books, where 4
patient had The disease eight time, and died
with the ninth attack. There is q gentleman
in this town, whohas h d the small pox twicej
and about week ago he was vaccinated for
fun, and it took. Vaccination does not pre-
vent person from taking the disease, but
it greatly mitigates focusing it to assume
milder type, which physicians style vari-
oloid. A person, who has never been vac
cinnated, can take Indignant small pox, from
a yariolUid patieHt.-I Brunswicker.

New Court House,


We have long since thought that the
present Court House was a stain upon our
county.
In the first place it is entirely TOO small
TO accommodate the public convenience.
Secondly, the clumsy construction Of the
building will not admit of improvement.
Thirdly, the wall is so inferior, that it is
by many deemed unsafe, 10 tamper with OF
attempt an improvement.
FourIhly, 1t is beneath the dignity o.
such Il county as Howard.
Filthy, the county is able to build &
Court House, that would be an honor TO The
county, and never feel it,
Sixlhly, we will be considered old fogie:
unless we manifest more county pride.
The Co. seat is near the centre of thu
Co., and no one can entertain any hope o
removing it to any other point, in short, nc
candid man can assign any other reason
than a selfish one why it should be removed
We have offered these remarks, for III,
reflection of our citizens, believing that al
unbiased minds will agree with us that ole
Howard should build Court House, com
men urate with her wants, her dignity, AM
her capability.- Banner.
BY all means, let US have New Cour
House, commensurate with the dignity AM
capabiliiy" of old Howard. We care no
whether it is built at Fayette, Franklin
Boonsboro, Bunker Hill, Roanoke, or Glas
Cow but let us have a new one. Th
people can place it where they please; bu
we pray them TO SET about the work imme
diately
