TIE BALTIMORE AND OHIO RAILROAD
he road between Baltimore and this city Is
in complete order now, and the Philadelphia
road having been repaired, the trains are now
leaving here as usual-eight every day The
main stem of the Baltimore and Ohio road is
also in complete order, and trains are now
running through to Wheeling, the work on the
Harnar's FoTIy bridge yesterday afternoon be-
ing SO Iar advanced as to permit trains to pass
over. There are now no rebels near any part
Of the road, and passengers going West need
hQr no fanr nf Iarr M
9.20 p. m. trains connect at the Relay House
for the West During the recent raid, immense
quantities of freight have accumulated at
either end Of the road, and for days, at least,
will the officers and employees OF the company
have their hands full. This road is so we'll
managed that an accident is Of a very rare &C.
currence, but damage to the roads by raiders
can only be prevented by the military. 1t Is
now strongly guarded, and at this time there
are no rebels within forty or fifty miles Of it.
The officers of the road, especially the master
OF transportation, w. p. Smith Esq., deserve
great praise for their promptness in taking
measures to place the road in order as soon as
the raiders left
THE INTELLIGENcER has a communicated
article abusive Of the police for shooting dog
in the street, admitted to be at large without
muzzle, but which was only " little terrier"
Terriers are generally "little,' but we have
never heard that their bite was any less fatal
than that OF bigger dogs. The plea of size is
about as valid as that of Maryatts wet-nurse,
who urged, in extenuation of the fact that she
was mother and yet unmarried, that her baby
was ga very little one" 1t will be remem bered
that it was a little terrier that played the
mischief !. at the jail lately while in hydro.
their courage, activity, and tenacity, are prob
ably the most dangerous of any while affected
with hydrophobla.
We think the officers deserve credit rather
than censure for the proper discharge of dis
agreeable duty, one so essential to the safety of
The community.
