This GREAT NATIONAL THOROUGHfARE
is again open for Freights and Travel.
The Cars and Machinery destroyed are being
replaced by NEW RUNNING STOCK, with all
recent improvements; and as the
Bridges d Track are again in Good Condition,
the wcll-earned reputation Of this road TOR
SPEED, SECURITY AND COMFORT,
will be more than sustained under the reorgani-
zation of its business
In addition to the UNEQUALLED ATTRAC-
TONS OF NATURAL SCENERY heretofore
conceded to this route, the RECENT TROUBLES
UPON THE BORDER have associated numerous
points on the Road between the Ohio River and
Harper's Ferry, with painful but instructive in
terest.
CONNECTIONS
At the Ohio River, with Cleveland and Pits6urg
Central Ohio, and Marietta and Cincinnati Rail-
roads, and, through them with the whole Rail-
way System of the Northwest, Central West and
Souttwest.-At Harper's Ferry With the Win
chester Road-At Washington Junction, with
the Washington Branch for Washington City
and the Lower Potomac.-At Baltimore with four
daily trains for Philadelphia and New York.
TWODOLLARS additional on Through Tick
cts TO Baltimore or the Northern Cities, give the
privilege of visiting WASHINGTON CITY en-
route-being $500 lower than the cot by any
other line, as recently charged; and the rate to
Baltimore being 81 so lower than recently eharg-
ed by way of Harrisburg
@rThis is the ONLY ROUTE ny which pas
senpers can procure through tickets and through
checks to Washington City. u

PENNsYLvANIA.--On the 18th OF
October this State will choose Co.
vernon and Judge Of the Supreme
Court, for which the following nom
nations have been made:
Democratic. Republican.
Gov.-G. W. Woodward. A. G. Curtin.
Sup. Judge-W. H. Lowrie, Daniel Agnew
1t is confidently expected that this
State will go Democratic by large
majority, owing in part to the an
popularity of Gov. Curtin with a
large and Influential portion of his
own party. Further reason for this
expectation is drawn from the fact
that the Democrats elected their tick
ct last fall by majority of 1924,
Notwithstanding Lincoln's majority
in 1860 was 59,6l8 over all oppo-
nents.
THE N. Y. World says the Board
of Councilmen has taken step in
the right direction in calling upon
the State authorities to put stop to
the immense substitute brokerage
business carried on at the present
time in that city. New York city
has supplied about enough Of men to
fill the quotas of the Eastern States
and it is time the thing was stopped.
Away with the substitute brokers.

IRENE length 259 feet 3 inches

GEN. GRANT in his official des-
patch, says that during his opera
tons in Mississippi he captured 49,
900 rebel prisoners, 81, 900 of whom
he paroled, aud 5000 he sent North.
The World'S correspondent says
that Andrews, the notorious n. York
rioter now under arrest, was former
" detective officer, and one of Sec
rotary Stanton's spies.
SECRETARY CHASE has discharged
clerk from the Treasury Department
for refusing to subscribe to the fund
for raising negro-regiments in Wash
ingtou.
LATE advices from Pixies Peak
state that large quantities Of gold
are being taken from mines around
Central City.
The grand total of claims against
New York city for property destroy
ed during the riot, Amounts to
S784,34S 81.

How TO HAVE WATER. As many
wells are dry and useless at present,
throughout the town, we think it a
a very good plan to have water haul
ed from the river and poured in them.
After standing awhile it would be-
come cool, and make q very good
substitute for we'll water. We heard
the plan recommended by a neigh
Dor the other day, who said heiuten-
ded to try it. We think it an excel
lent idea. Be sure your wells are
clean before sou dash water liz them
to use.
