Work on the Frederick aud Penusyt
vunia Line Railroad is being pushed
rapidly toward completion. The track
layers oa the north end are past Wa
tersvills, whilo the track is also being
put down from the south, or Frederick
end, aud is laid across the Frederick
and Wooasboro' pike. Thus the track
is being laid FROM both euds, aud the
pike is lined with heavy teams hauling
ties from the mountains, along the en-.
tire line. The iron bridge over the
Mouocacy is finished aud is a magnif
cent structure. liz twenty working days,
President Leafs Informed your cores

to Frederick city and he says he h,s
good reason to knew the touuage over il
will be heavy. Alreadyis coal shipped
along its line aud distributed at the
different stations.
The energy aud skill by which this
work was pushed along are truly com
mendable. August l2,h, 1869, the com
pany broke the first ground, without
having one dollar to build the road, aud
in little over three years they have
graded and put down as complete track
as is found anywhere; and built four
iron bridges, and put up iruu trestle
works, surpassed by no road, but Mr..
w. Boolman the contractor aud builder
OF bridges, informs your correspondent
that the company has paid him promptly
every dollar contracted for, and the

promptly met every estimate aud paid
for all their iron, rails, chains, spikes
