tS the board of Directors ofthc Baltimore

in regard to the Washington County rail-
road, in which the people of:'this. County
and particularly ofthis place are deeply in
tcrested. 1t win be seen that IL is the pur-
pose of thescompany 10 lave the rpadiip
running order by September next. gr.- q
Much work has been done upon the Washn
Goauty Railroad, leading. from the main
stem at Weverton to IIagerstown distace
of % miles. The entire line was placed
under contract, to be completed within Il
months. The contractors represented that
portion vi the work has prpyedi much
heavier than anticipated but, ia the more
diliieult sections very large forces are en-
ployed, and upon the most difficult position
of the line work is being pressed with
great energy-mght forces being at times
also empkyed. This company has thus
far contributed to the paymentfur the work
u pom that road $50, eco. / am gratiicd
to state, upon information received from
the. officers of that company. that they
coflcntly expect that thu road will be
opened prior to the dedication of the
National Gemctry at Autietam, on the
18th September next. Asthis road passes
through that classic ba tle-grouud, it is
anticipated that its large facilities in con-
nections with Baltimore and Ohio road,
will enable the great concourse expected
on that interesting occasion to reach the
cemctry with convenience and comfort. Up
on the completion II this most desirable and
important road, Washington county will
have not only the benefit Of transportation
by the Chesapeake and Ohio canal. and as
at present route through the Cumberland
Valley railroad, and by the Northern Cen
trail and Pennsylvania Ceatraf railroad to
Baltimore and Philadelphia, but also eco
nomical transportation by this excellent
and direct line over the double-tracked
Baltimore and Ohio road to Baltimore
The agricultural and manufacturing devcl-
.opmcnts anu general prosperity Of that
couatry cannot fail to be largely increased
by the opening Of this important route.

His Satanic Majesty in Hagerstown

Fs-The juvenile portion of our COM
munity have been much exercised of late
and kept in a state of constant excitement
and tremor, BY the mysterious visitation
of some weird, alley y-hunting demon, who
they say, amuses his Fiendship by sun
dry tri1ing vagaries and attempts to alarm
few timid women and children, most un-
becoming and undigniied, we think in a
genuine visitant from the realms of"Auld
Clootie."
We are inclined to look upon tn. whole
thing as a myth, for several reasons. We
rather think that old Nick and his whole
fore, have about as much work on their
hands below as they can we'll attcnd to,
nor is tAeir employment likely to slacken
on their hanLs for some time to come, il
we read the signs of the times Alright. Be-
sides, even supposiug his Satanic Majesty
could spare an envoy extraordinary frou,
the regions below, at present, he wsuld
hardly skip over: Washington city this win
ter, and come to sush an out-of-thc-way
place as Hagerssown, although our claims
upon the early attention of such visitor
are pretty strong too. Should this, how.
ever, prove to be his Satanic Majesty ir
reality, we wot of some whom we coulc
advise to "pull up stakes" and leave. A.
for ourselves, we renounce the devil ane
all his works. -..

UP TO THE PURITAN MARK.-The Chief OF
the Police of Marblehead, Mass, does not
mean to conceal his candle in dark lantern
or allow the odor of Puritanism to die out.
He gives notice to the people of that place
that he and his police mean to be about on
Sunday. He says:
"The individual attention of the whole po-
lice force will be specially directed toward
the enforcement of the Sunday law, the dog
law, and the bylaws of the town. Standing
on the sidewalks or curo-stones, or sitting
upon door-steps, or entrances to any dwelling
house, store, building or inclosure, on the
Sabbath day or evening, or at any time con-
trary to the interest and meaning of the stat
ute, will be punished to the utmost rigor of
the law"
The Puritans endeavor to make Sunday as
sour as possible, and give to religion as hard
an aspect as they can.
