RAILROADS Henry Tyson, Esq has furnished
some interesting statistics in reference to the York
Road Passenger Railway Company, which not
only 90 to show how greatly travel may be in
creased by the facilities afforded into suburban
districts but also indicate how rapid may be the
increase in the value of property along the routes
they traverse The York road was first opened
in 1868, and within five months and half from
its opening before the close of that year, it
transported 40. 405 passengers, at an average
OF 81 cents. This would make the rate less :han
90 600 passengers year. In 1864 the number
of passengers increased to l53, 279; in 1885, l67,
2Ol passengers were carried, average fare 10
cents in 1866 there were 1885, l49 passengers,
fare Is cents in 1867, 23l, 895 passengers, fare
II cents in 1868, 330,3 passengers, fare IA
cents, and in 1869 the total number of passengers
carried was 457, 324, at average fare of II
cents Ii will be seen that i'll five years the num-
her of passengers has been trebled. and the York
road, except points where large estates are
held unbroken, has grown TO be a village from
Baltimore tn TowsonIown. Improvement along
the Gainesville road is also pretty steady Com
panies have been organized for railroad line to
Hall Springs on the Hartford turnpike and
railroad on the Reisterstown turnpike, and
another direct to Towsontown, have been pro-
iected There is also some talk of one to
westwardly to the Carrolltou turnpike, then
across to the Windsor Mill road, and up to
Powhatan Factory and the CarrOllton Avenue

SCENE IN A CHUsoH.-A queer scene was wit
messed in Methodist church in New York on
Sunday. When the clergyman arose, as usual
to deliver his morning sermon, a woman in the
body of the church rose too. She informed the
congregation that she had received special tel
egram from Heaven, in which the Lord had
commissioned her to warn the people ofthe
coming judgment, and to preach to them as did
Paul of old to King Felix, on Righteousness,
temperance and the judgment to come. The
pastor interrupted her with rebuke for thus
breaking in upon his sermon with her news
from Heaven. She temporarily subsidized, and
the reverend gentleman went on with his dis
course. But no sooner had the sermon been
disposed of than the woman with the nervous
excitement rose again. She wanted to know
she said, if she hadn't the right to say word
for Jesus and His cause She wanted to know
if she couldn't act in accordance with the tele-
gram she had received from Heaven. She had
been denied standing room on holy ground
and she would now go, but she would first
strike the dust from her foot. She shook off
every particle of dust accordingly, and then
left the church.

TAX ON DoGs.--In the House of Representatives
on the Sd instant, Mr.. Reeves, of New York,
offered a resolution directing the Committee of
Ways and Means to inquire into the expedieney
of amending the Revenue law, by levying tax
of two dollars and halfper capita upon dogs.
Adopted. There are large number of worthless
ours in this county which are not worth the food
they consume. Even if there is no tax collected
it will have the good effect to rid the community
of nuisance.

unsurpassed by any in the city, and whose

ADVERTISEMENTS call attention TO the
large number of sales of real and personal
property, &C., advertised in to-day's paper. Read
them carefully. In some portions of this State
the custom is, no matter how small the sale, to
advertise every article, from threshing machine
down to frying pan. Last year, (says the
Westminster AdUOcate,) gentleman told us
that he would try it, and that he had called in
two or three neighbors to assess the property.
They placed high estimate upon each article, be
had bandbills printed and advertised it in the
papers, and the sale realized $500 more than the
assessment. A word to the wise is sufficient
