SOUTHERN PENN'A. AND CoNNELLsyILLE E
RAILRoAD.-The engineers ON the eastern
end of this important work, left here last
week to make the necessary surveys between
this point and Chambersburg. The surveys
between this place and the summit of the Al
legheny mountain have been perfected. Three
different routes have been thoroughly exam
ined; the Northern, or Deeter's run, the cen
tral, or Dry Ridge, and the Southern or
Bridgeport, The latter route leads through
the celebrated Sand Patch Tunnel This sroute
it is said, can be graded with less expense
than either of the others. Whether this is
the opinion of the engineers. we are not pre-
pared to say. Should it be adopted, and the
road built, there will not be much less than
forty miles of railroad in this county. If this
does not open up the hidden treasures in our
yallies, hills and mountains, we are not pre-
pared to say what will
It will take the engineer, corps, which left
here, at least two months to complete the
survey to Chambersburg. Until this is done,
We cannot expect anything to be done, in the
way of putting il under contract. We had
thought. in all probability, the short distance
between this point and Mount Dallas, would
have beel put under contract Immediately
upon the opening up of Spring, but the Com
pany have determined otherwise. 1t must be
evident to the Company that Bedford, until
the completion Of the work, viii be one of
the most important points along the road.
The completion of the Bedford railroad, by
this Company, at an early moment, would re-
move all the doubts of those who have per
sistently asserted that the road would never
be put under contract, and that the Pennsyl-
yania Railroad only desire to occupy the
route to exclude any other enterprising com
pany which might desire to build great rival
road. We earnestly hope that the surveys
will be completed as soon as possible, and
that the Company viii put it under, contract
without delay There is certainly no more
opportune moment than the present; the wal
has ended, thousands are thrown out of en-
ployment, labor is becoming cheap, and the
country is wen supplied with money. We
pray that the Company win go to work at once
and relieve our anxiety.
The on FEvERZThis oleaginous fevei
has broke out most fearfully in the upper END
of this county. Every, farm in Harman' s
Bottom has been leased that can be leased
A number have been endeavoring to get uE
companies to bore. Those familiar with the
oil indications are positive that they are quite
as good as they are in Western Pennsylvania
Let company be formed, without delay, tC
develope this region. If there is oil in thi:
county, let us know it. We have many re
sources of wealth in Bedford county, and tc
those already developed, let US add oil, not
on the brain, butreal, genuine, oil.
