PRosrECTs OF THE SHENANDOAH Rail
RoAp.-A few days since we had the
pleasure ofseeing incur office Maj. Bard
well, one of the committee Of the above
Railroad appointed to procure the right
OF way through our county, from the
Potomac, opposite ShepherdstoWn, to
Haoerstown. That gentleman had JUS:
returned from a visit to the leading
property holders along the line, and cX
/ pressed himself more than gratltied with
the result. In his efforts to compromise
! with property holders, for the right ct
way, he was personally and most mate
rally aided by such substanstal men Us
Mr.. Andrew Rench and his neighborS,
who not only-as Mr.. Jacob Fiery had
done before-gave the right OF way
through their farms on reasonable terms,
/ but, also, personally eXertd themselves
to get their neighbOrs and friends TO 90
as they had done. Maj. Bardwell IN
! forms us that the committee was far
more successful than was anticipated;
and. if the same result attends future
efforts, it is the opinion of that gentle
man, that within a few weeks proposals
will be advertised for the letting OF the
Road from Shepherdstown to liaSers-
town.
We believe the survey of the two
routes heretofore contemplated have
/ been completed,a and as soon as the Com
pany shall have determined which OF
the routes to adopt, the work will be
ready for letting, and will probably be
commenced before Incorporating win
( ter.
! We have no information of the route
! likely to be adopted-the decision OF
I which may be, perhaps, affected by the
/ demands of property-holders along the
line; but we are under the impression
that the line leading directly into Ha-
perstown, and connecting with the Cum
berIand Valley Railroad Depot, on the
cornerof Washingtonand Walnut streets
will be preferred, and ultimately accept
ed.
At any rate. we congratulate the pco-
ple of the lower portion of our county
upon the almost positive assurance of
q Railroad which cannot fail to enhance
the value of all property near it and at
ford them great facilities of all descrip-
tons; and if IIagerstown did not now
have more Railroads than she knows
how to turn to advantage We would
congratulate our people upon the prob
able completion Of the Shenandoah Val
lev Railroad with THEM next year
On Wednesday night, Maj. Bardwell
returned to our county, and on Thurs
day morning, accompanied by MIR, Il.
W. Harris-one Of the Directors of the
Western Maryland Railroad, and one of
our most enterprising citizens-started
for the line of road, with a view if poss-
ible to complete at once theprocurement
of the right of way.-Hagerst0wn nn'h

at DuAields. Thursday night, Oct. ~,
1879 WILL. J. MOLER was elected
Chairman. and A. L. OsBouRN, Secy.
The object of the meeting was made
known. viz, to consider the best mode
of restricting the sale of all intoxicating
drinks.
After some deliberarion it was unani-
mously resolved. to circulate the follow
ing petition for signatures
We the undersigned, citizens of JEFF
ferson County, w. Va, hereby respect
fully but earnestly request the authori-
ties of the county, to whom is entrusted
the discretion of granting or not grant
inc licenses to sell intoxicating liquors,
hereafter to withhold all such licenses,
save only to druggists for medicinal and
manufacturing purposes, such druggists
being already by the laws Of " est Viz
ginia, subject to fine OF from twentyto
fifty dollars for instance of selling such
liquors for any other purpose, the bur
den of proof falling on them. The au-
thorities are presumed to be acquainted
with the facts and agreements by which
this petition might be enforced. 1t
might be sufficient to mention the near
" universal conviction that the liquor
shops are calamities and nothing but ca
lamities to the communities III which
they are permitted to exist.
On motion of Rev. J. A. Scott, a
committee was appointed to circulate
said petition.

1t was moved and carried that the

to the Legislature, asking that some
