to be positive about what he really knows

another's character dcides the matter;
further investigations being unnecessary.
Thcid and notions Of this narrow.niin-
ded individual are as shallow as bis char
actcr indicates. But, II he would only
listen 10 bis own emptiness, no harm
would be done to bis fellow creatures ~
Here is his greatest weakness, because he

to possess an untaruished reputation, nev.

consequences may follow qbe old fogy's
ideas are advanced, aud quickly circulated

himself; leaving the subject Of fogyism to
struggle in lifa as best ho can. A man
may be temporarily unemployed, Old fogy
says, "too lazy to work." besides o variety
Of such commonplace remarks, unworthy
Of notice, still there are those who arc

. The chesapeake and Ohio Railroad.

The Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad
The response Of the West 70 the pros
pect Of this road connecting the Ohio with
the Atlantic, has induced the Chesapeake
aud Ohio Directors to put forth every ef-
fort for the early completion Of the extern
sion. There arc now six thousand men
at work on length o. two hundred miles
Of road; which, we presume, is a specimen
Of activity IN building unequaled 10 the
history Of railroad construction 10 the
United States, aud indicates the cagerness
Of the Managers to avail themselves Of the
advantages awaiting the completion Of the
road. We learn that iron has been for.
warded to both ends Of the extension aud
that track laying will be begun imlnedi-
ately. On some parts Of the line, cutting
and tanueliug has to DO done, and at
those points progress is limited by the
possibilities Of engineering; but there APP
pears to be no doubt that in afew months,
this great trunk connection between the
West and tho Atlantic will DO open
through It's whole length.
The completion oftbis road may DO ex.
pected to create q quick development Of
tho coal and iron resources Of West Viz
GINA. II has long been known that the
coal deposits Of that section were among
the largest in the world, being thrice the
extent f those Of England; but so long as
there was no railroad to convey the coal
cheaply 10 market, this immense source Of
wealth remained untouched. The same
remark is applicable to the iron deposits.
We are not surprised, therefore, to learn
that practical miners from Pennsylvania
aud Maryland are mixing active inquiry
respecting mineral lands on the line Of the
road, in anticipation Of its early compile
ton. Great credit is due to the capital
lists conducting this enterprise for the en-
ergy with which they arc pressing the
much needed work to quick consuma.

Ohio railroad was wrecked BY the break
ing down Of the bridge over Wickyeyer's
