appointment was made out, sent to the

THE Wellsburg Herald says the in
divldual subscribers TO the Wellsburg
Branch Railroad met there last Satur-
day. The Commissioners appointed to
solicit stock in order to comply with
the terms of the charter, reported that
the requisite number of shares had
been subscribed, and thereupon the
share e-holders present proceeded to 1.-THE
election of a President and Board of
Directors. The vote was by ballot and
resulted in the choice of Adam Kuhn,
President, Lewis Applegate, A. Wilson,
s. George, John Mcclure, Jr., and w
K. Pendleton, the five Directors. The
total number of shares subscribed is
something over 400 of which 242 were
represented at the meeting. The Presi-
dent and Directors so elected, constitute
bodv corporate, competent to con-
tract. to sue and be sued and do any
other thing germane to their purpose.
Heretofore the state OF the affair has

shape and some consistency, and we

tainty what Is to be done. A very con-
siderable degree of interest is manifest

the conviction seems to be general, not
only that the completion of this branch
railroad will be the beginning of new

will be the commencement of nagnitt.
