THE BALTIMuRE AND HARTFORD TURNPIKE CoMPA-
NY A memorial has been presented to both
honses OF The Legislature from John S. Cuttings,
Esq, in opposition To the petitions sent in ask
ing that the charter of Inc Baltimore and Hartford
Turnpike Company be annulied. lie gives full
history of the road and sal that out OF S62, 500
subscribed only 5000 was taken by parties pro-
Tossing 10 reside in Hartford county, from whence
proceeds the most opposition 10 the road. Out
Of Sl2 500 50 collected last year for tolls, S.
ST. SO WAS expended in keeping the road IN or
der, and Mr. Gtiings AYERS that no road Of the
same extent erGiug from The city is in as good
condition al The present time. The memorial
concludes by stating that Though unfortunately
il is very PasY Al all times TO raise Odium
against corporations and corporate rights, yet nc
greater blow could he inflicted upon the value OF
large section of Baltimore county, nor any
greater injury to a large number of its citizens,
than by the destruction OF urpetiioners' road ;
and The htow would especially intiicT injury to
the city Of Baltimore, not only by reason OF It's
being one OF the great avenues 10 the city, but
owners o' the Gunpowder works and water
rights the city ia more interested than all Others
in preserving The only road 10 their valuable
property
Mr.. Cuttings contends that the company has
made five miles in excess of the amount of road
required by law, and that The same had been duly
examined and licensed, and that if at any time
any part thereof be out of order, the courts have
full power under the charter to afford complete
redress. He expresses surprise that without any
notice, or any hearing, or any inquiry into facts
at which the company could be present or have
notice, the House of Delegates have been sur
prised into the passage OF bill to forfeit the
charter aud TO destroy Sl00, 900 worth of proper
" to oblige a few persons, who, if their allega-
h Off IN nf
to suhstantiaIe them in a court of justice, but
who want TO put the State of Mary land to the
expense of needlessly vexing and harassing the
petitioners.

DIsTREssING ACCIDENT

A DISTRESSING ACCIDENT AND REMARKABLE
RELIEF.-About eight weeks ago Miss Jessie
Squier, daughter of Rev. Jno. Squier, residing
near Port Deposit, swallowed whilst asleep an
artificial tooth and plate to which it was at
tached. This plate which was one and quar-
ter inches by three quarters of an inch, lodged
in the thorax, where it remained until re-
moved by DR.. Smith, an eminent surgeon of
Baltimore, on Friday last. 1t caused the young
lady, as would be supposed, great inconveni-
ence, as she unable to swallow any food,
except in nearly fluid state, and her condi-
ton was constantly growing worse. 1t baffled
all attempts to dislodge it until DR.. Smith
probed for it, reaching with an instrument
some ten or twelve inches down the patients
throat. The obstruction was reached, and was
drawn up to the entrance of the throat, where
it seemed determined to stick, until by great
effort Miss Squier coughed it out. The young
lady, who was Frustrated by the obstruction
and the trying operation, is, we are pleased to
learn, rapidly recovering. This case is nearly
analogous to that of Hadley Hooper, of New
Garden, who swallowed the upper set of his
teeth while ssleep few days ago Cecil Wig.

RAILROAD TO Recommendations. w. W.
Taylor, Thos. Butler, w. II. Wilson, II. I. Heaps,
VIM. GLADDEN., Jas. A. Webster and Jas. A.
Amoss called at our office on Thursday morn
ing and brought good news to us concerning
the projection of the Towsontown and Balti-
more Narrow Gauge railroad:
These gentlemen have been over the entire
route from Delta at the Pennsylvania
and Hartford county line, to Towsontown and
Baltimore city. Mr. Taylor who is an eminent
engineer, says that the road can be readily con.
structed over this route at cost of $12, 900 per
mile.
These gentlemen report that between Jarretts-
vile in Hartford county and Delta there
are immense quantities of slate of the finest
quality OF any in the United States, pronounced
such by eminent judges, that there have been
$4,000 tons per annum hauled from them to
various portions of the surrounding country
by teams.
They report that this slate exists in inexhaus-
tible quantities, and THAT they are not worked
more extensively because there is no means of
transportation except by teams. Crome and
Magnesia abound along this same route in vast
quantities and is of excellent quality. South OF
Jarrettsville there are great quantities of iron
ore, limestone, granite and marble. In the
vicinity of Deer Greek there is to be found the
most durable granite for the purpose of con-
structing hearths for furnaces. This granite
mas UeeH kuOWu 10 iWetAy 5oNCu
months in a furnace that was in full blast dur
ing the entire time.
From Jarrettsville they propose to come
down the valley to Mrs. Ann Emory's, and
thence across the summit that separates that
valley from the Dulaney's Valley, entering the
latter in the vicinity of Mr. Joseph Dance s
residence and coming thence to Towsontown, q
distance of 81 miles.
The entire line of this route is a country that
is very productive in agricultural resources,
and the upper portion of il is well supplied
with chestnut and other timber.
The road will be local one and in conse-
quence of this will be of mch more Importance
in developing the country through which it
passes than Fit were through road connecting
large cities and towns and run mainly for their
interest.
There is an abundance of wealth along the
line to construct the road, and resources enough
for its support to make the stock valuable to
its holders, and we can see no good reason why
the enterprise should not be an eminent success.
Those who are projecting it are men of rail-
road life and know how toappreciate the value
of public improvements. Livery one who has
grain Of public spirit should give his aid,
countenance and money, if he have it, to push
the affair TO an early completion.
There will be a meeting of all parties in
terested at Jarrettsvile, in Hartford county, on
Saturday, 9th inst, at l o'clock P NJ, at
which W. w. Taylor Esq, will be present to
take into consideration any subject connected
with the construction Of the road. All inter-
ested are invited TO be present.
