mote parts of the city OF Washington a. do not

WE CSpyRsTASD that the laying OF the rails

our city 10 tie limits OF the city OF Baltimore
will be CONNIE need the coming month by a large

welcome news we must refer TO the great in

at this new and important road, in the new citv
Of Huntin gt0D. No spot about us Combines the
many advantages OF this one, aud there Is lust
