Warren Of a capacity to urn out at les
fifty tons Of rail day. Certain prom
nent railroad men propose to take t
= greater part of the stock. Such a m
would employ about 800 hands.

, at Webb's Hall, in this city, on ne:
Tuesday evening. This company h
always been greeted by crowded housI

is said to afford unusual attractions /
mirth and music, in songs, scenes an

- The peaceful slumbers of the ur
offending citizens of Niles were sadl
disturbed on Saturday night last b
confidential information being made {
those in authority to the effect that plan
had been laid to destroy that village b!
IRE. But little credence was given Il
the story until it was ascertained tina
the fire engine had been meddled will
and made useless in case of fire. The
engine was put in order, and an extrs
force Of watchmen were put on duty.
No attempt to accomplish so diabolical
an act was detected, and Sabbath morn
ing's sun shone upon the village in the
enjoyment Of its wonted peace and
happiness.
A quite serious accident happened
to Mr.. J. H. Wyatt, formerly a conduc-
tor on the Atlantic & Ct Western, while
breaking the way freight train at the
depot at Warren, on Wednesday last,
18th ult. In stepping out from between
the cars, his pants caught in a silver of
iron, and the end of the car struck him
on the back, knocking him down, when
the car wheel passed over his left knee,
and what is quite remarkable did not
crush it, although it inflicted severe
injury in bruising the limb from the
ankle joint to half way up the thigh.
Wyatt is confined to a room at the
National House, in this city, and is
under the medical care of DIR. Metcalf.
On yesterday he was getting along quite
comfortably, and hopes soon to be on
his feet again. Nj. W. has but recently
recovered from a loug and severe attack
of inhammatory rheumatism, and Ger
is favored with his full share of
III luck.
Our citizens have some reason to
hope and expect that the new arrange
ment Of the a. & G. W. R'y. will readily
and cordially cooperate in certain pro-
posed Improvements which can hardly
fail to prove advantageous to both par
lies. The consolidation Of the several
iePots is a project which should be kept
steadily in view and pushed to the
earliest possible contamination. The
project Of a rail mill is regarded with
considerable favor by gentlemen con-
lected with and concerned in the A, &
!. W. R'y. Our citizens should aim TO
axe due advantage of the opportunity
o make an important strike in the
interest of the town. In all business
connected with the road, and
u local interests, our people
will be brought into contact with liberal
gentlemen. Messrs. II. F.
'weetser, General Manager, j. NJ. o.
'Orn, Gen. Fit. Agt., and H. NJ. Grout,
Resident Engineer, we are assured are
decidedly disposed to foster local enter
rise and Improvements along the line
+ their great thoroughfsre, and will
