ENOCH LEWIS, Gen. Supt.
Our RAILRoAD-The Ebensburg and
Cresson Branch Railroad, it rejoiceth us
to note, is still in full tide of successful
operation. and fiourishing luxurlantly.--
The amount of freight shipped hence is
enormous as compared with that OF dates
prior to the completion of the enterprise,
while the passenger travel is already
considerable item The most sanguine
antic:pations of those through whose en-
ergv and far-sightedhess the road was
completed have been already more than
realized. and the indications are, that the
Branch" will go on prospering and to
prosper until it proves itself to be most
iudicIouS investment, ana an 'lhsLItUtioh
OF the paying persuasion.
We saw, the other day, paragraph In
an exchange, giving it as an instance of
unexampled prosperity, that nearly two
hundred carloads Of freight had been
shipped from the terminus of a neighbor-
ing Branch road within the space Of two
mouths. Now, we are credibly informed
that, within the same period, something
ike one hundred and .Jifty carloads have
been shipped from this point, and that,
too, while laboring under the disadvanta
ges attendant upon the unfinished condl-
tion of the road When we take into
consideration the fact that the frst-men
toned road has enjoyed an uninterrupted
career of prosperity extending over eight
or ten years, where's or road has only
been afforded sort Of experimental exis-
tence of about three months duration, 1t
will be perceived that we have nice ba-
sis from which to execute some tall brag
eing.
Those charitable individuals who have
long been laying the ''hattering Snction
TO their souls" that the Ebensburg and
Cresson Branch would never be compile
ted, and even if it were completed, would
never pay" are requested to pay partic
ular notice to the foregoing facts and fig
ures. If they can extract any consolation
therefrom, they are welcome to it.
POLICE MATTER.-An individual Da-
med Zeek, or a combination of letters to
that effect, who hangs out somewhere in
Cambria township, was brought to town
the other day and committed to Jail, on
the charge of assault and battery upon
the person of his wife. It would appear,
in the transaction, that Zeek meant busi-
ness, from the reason that he armed and
equipped himself with gun and an axe
before engaging therein. We have not
learned to what effect he used the nrur-
derous weapons, or whether, indeed, he
used them at all, but we are certain that,
what with this and the other, he has sue
ceeded in getting himself beautifully
"jugged" for his pains. Whose layeth
his hand on woman save in kindness, etc !
SAD ACCIDENT.-An accident of |
shocking nature occurred near Carroll |
town, this county, on Thursday of last |
week, by which brother of the religious |
order OF Saint Benedict was killed 1t |
appears that the unfortunate man had |
occasion to visit coal-bank on the prem !
lses of the fraternity, and while inside, a |
huge mass Of coal became detached from
The main body, and falling upon him,
crushed him to death. When discovered |
life was extinct, and it is supposed that
death had ensued almost instantly.
WM Y. IVORY AGAIN.-We are graf
fled to learn that this gentleman--a no.
tice of whose death in battle prematurely
appeared in these columns some weeks |
slnce-has been promoted to a Lieuten-
ancy for gallant conduct at the battle of |
Pittsburg Landing. Mr. r was original
ly native of fhis county, and he has
many friends here who will be glad to
hear this announcement of his preferment
Success attend him, say we.
