The A. G G. w. Railroad.

This road is now permanently located
through from the line of the Sunbury and
Erie road to Warren, Ohio. We are also
informed that the cars will DO running thro'
from New York city to the Sunbury and
Erie road some day this week, and that as
soon as that is effected, the constructing
forces will commence operations on the road
this side Of that point. The work will be
pushed ahead with all possible speed, re-
CARELESS of our present national difficulties,
as the British capitalists interested in the
enterprise have the most implicit confidence
in the stability Of the American Republic.
We now look upon the speedy constr uction
OF this road as a certainty, and believe,
from present appearances, that the greater
part of the work will be completed inside
OF six months West GreenviHe Ar0us.
FOUND DEAD.-A man named Frank
Bogen, was found dead on the Orangcyillo

Plant Another Acre.

The Withdrawing Of a portion of the
young men hitherto engaged in agriculture,
the increased consumption and waste Of
bread stuffs always consequent upCn war.
and their almost invariabfe increase in
price, offer the most eogeut inducements
to farmers to exert themselves to the ut
most to supply Che demand which will be
sure to exist for their prodtcts. There is
great danger that amid the excitement Of
tie times, and their honorable anxiety TO
learn the state aud progress of the war,
and to render all the assistance in their
power, that they will forget that ncxt to
going in person to the battle field, the
most effective way in which they can aid
those who do 60, is to do their part tow
ards furnishing a full supply of tho neces-
saries of life without which war could not
be carried OH, the want Of which would
render the strong soldier weak as an infant,
and be more sure to kill them the traitors
bullets.
Patriotism and interest join together
now, to induce agricultuEists to do their
utmost in the way OF production.
