railroad, called the "Union," was yester-
day hauled by horse power from the Bal.
timors and Ohio railroad depot to the

score of horses hitched to it attracted
hundreds of persons, and the streets along
which it passed and stalled, had the ap.

engine will help the Hempfeid out con-
siderably, and will enable her to do her
business with more promptness and safety.
