Charter Railway.

We are glad to be able TO state taat
the Charter railway will be completed
to Canonsburgh this week. tits under
stood that after next Monday two daily
passenger trains-one in the morning
and one in the evening-will leave that
point and make connections with the
cars on the Pan Handle railroad. The
proprietors of our stage and hack lines
are making arrangements 10 leave this
Mace on and after next Monday, so as
to make a connection with the cars at
Canonsburgh. We congratulate our
citizens on heing able to reach Pitts
burgh in two hours instead OF spending
nine hours in the mud, as heretofore.
Probably in the course of two months
the cars will be running to Ewing
station, within three miles OF town, and
early next spring to Shirrs station, near
town. Washington Resi~w.

Maryland vs.. Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad.

shiirOtu.
The case OF the State Of Maryland
against the Baltimore and Ohio Rail
road Company, the trial of which has
excited so much attention, not less on
account Of the large sum Of money de-
manded and refused, than Of the consti-
tutional questions involved, came 10 a
sudden termination in the Superior
Court on Friday morning by q decision
Of Judge Dobin, which left the finding
OF verdict for tie defendant by the jury
mere matter Of form. The opinion Of
the Court will be read with profound
in crest in every part Of the country,
because one of the questions decided is
of national importance, and appertains
to the rights Of every citizen OF the
United States 1t has been solemnly
adjudged that the ri ght to travel cannot
be taxed, and that whatever sum the
passenger is required to pay over and
above his regular fare by reason Of the
reservation OF any part Of the passage
money TO the State is tar, and as snch
cannot he collected 1t matters not in
what form the stipulation between the
State and the transportation company
may be put, or by what name the sum
which accrues to the State is called, if
the effect of it be to increase the fare it
is tax upon the privilege to travel, and
as such is repugnant 10 the Constitution
of the United States
Judge Dobbn argues the case from
the standpoint of the citizen who pays
the tax, and his reasoning seems to be
clear and conclusive; and although the
effect of the decision will be to deprive
the State oftd large and important
source Of revenue, vet the business OF
the principle on which it is founded
will be generally admitted. Within
the last thirty years many millions OF
dollars havee been paid into the Trasu-
nv OF the State of Maryland by the citi-
zens OF other States under the provls-
ions of the act of 1882, which, regard
ed in the light Of Judge Dobbin's de-
cisioa, was nothing more nor less than
tax upon the privilege Of passing
through the State: and il seems most
singular that in all that time the ques-
ton as TO the legality OF the taxes was
never raised. The amount exactcd
from each individual was so small that
no one thought it worth the trouble to
refuse to pay; but the United States
Government paid hundreds OF thous-
ands, probably millions of dollars for
the transportation Of soldiers, and in
all the statements no accounting officer
ever appears to have raised the point
The decision, however, will no doubt
affect the claims of the Company for
transportation, which are still pending
before the Auditing Department-BaF

MAN shot.

On last Sunday afternoon shooting
affray occurred on Big Grave Creek, a
few miles from this place, in which we
were informed Frank Adkins, an ex-
convict of the West Virginia Penitenti-
airy, was shot and seriously wounded,
by young man about 10 years OF age,
by the name Of johnson, son Of
Abraham johnson. There are several
reports as to the cause. One is, that
Adkins called at Mr. Johnsons house,
who shut the door in his face, and
that Adkins kicked the door down and
laid violent hands on Mr. j., when his
son picked up a musket, loaded
with seven small bullets, and shot
Adkins, four balls taking effects
Another report is, that Adkins,
who is married, had been in the habit
OF going to see daughter of Mr.. Us,
and had called Sunday evening for that
purpose, when young johnson, who had
told him he would shoot him if he con-
tinued to come, did with the effect men
toned. A doctor was sent for and the
wounded man was properly attended to.
1t is supposed that he will not recover.
We understand that young johnson
gave himself up to the proper autbori-
ties, and was released after an examina-
ton of the case had been had.
We learned after the above was in
type that Adkins had threatened some
time before to shoot young johnson,
and on Sunday went to Mr.. j. 8 house,
kicked the door down and tried to shoot
his wife; and then it was that young
johnson shot him.-.nondsriHs Ma.

Farm Gates,

Are subject of interest to all con
cerned in their use. Few things are
more annoying to the farmer than d
gate that drags, or one that refuses to
open except by lifting with all ones
strength. Such gates are too common
Just think for a moment, how many
gates in your daily walk hang properly
and open easily.
Some farmers still use the old fash
Toned beam hinge to balance on the
post, and generally weighted with stone
on the back end The most common
kind are the sliding gates with or with
out rollers, and others that slide part
way back and then must be carried
around.
There is also the swing gate with a
trip to drive over TO open it, which soon
gets out Of repair. Suppose person
on horseback wishes TO pass through one
Of these, he cannot do it without dis,
mounting first
To get a gate that will work well and
cost but little is the object have
tried the following plan and find it gives
general satisfaction, and can refer 10
the same kind that have been in use
from fifteen to twenty years with but
little repair. 1t is light, strong gate,
easily made; swings freely on hinges
can be opened by person on horseback
without dismounting closes and fastens
itself.
To make such gate, take posts hewn
or sawed timber SxS or l0xlO inches
square-if hewn it need not be squared
below the ground-set ten feet apart
three feet in the ground, with ground
sill 6x6 inches, firmly bedded between.
For gate two posts five feet high; back
post AKA and front one 3x3 inches.
Mortice for stats; Stats lx3 inches !;
ID spaced inches, and so on,
lower SPACE 3 inches adding
one inch TO each space to top. Take a
"trip l3x3 inches, same length Of posts,
and place uprigth in centre of gate, with
half inch gaines on Stats, fastened on
with wrought nails clinched, or with
large head rivets and burrs. Also place
a sIat lx3 inches tranversely on opposite
side, extending from lower rear corner
to upper front corner, fastened on IN
the same manner, which makes good
and sufficient brace that will prevent
the gate from sagging. Hang with
good hook,and-eye hinges-the hook
part heavily bearded-to prevent draw
ing, and driven into post. The eye set
quartering through post Of gate, fasten-
ed with nut and washer. The gate
may be shut against the front post or a
2x4 piece can be spiked on the inside Of
post, forming a rubber to receive the
gate. The latch may be set at angle,
so as to project above the top Of the
gate; or a spring can be put on with
lever extending above to take hold Of
Should the back post give inward SO as
to let the gate drag, it can easily be set
back by driving wedge between it and
the end Of the ground sill
If made of dressed lumber and paint
ed, it vii last longer and present bet
ter appearance.
The cost OF such q gate will not eX-
coed that of one of the various patents,
and will give general satisfaction, so
that when your neighbor who has none
passes through he will hasten home and
put up one just like it.-American Farm
