RAILROAD MArrRRs.-The Virginia
and 'rruckee Railroad Company, says
the Carson Register. have II large force
Of hands employed grading a track,
starting at q point where the Reno
road comes In west Of town, running
down the street north Of the present
railroad office, making a straight track
to a point n few hundred feet east of
the depot. BY this change OF base, the
road will run directly through or
alongside the new depot buildings to
be erected. The track now used run
ming parallel with the new II In
course Of construction, will probably
remain for the convenience OF switch
ing of freight. wood trains. etc. The
new piece of road being built. referred
to above. will prove TO be 4 decided
Improvement IN many respects ; as for
Instance, it will throw the depot build
ing between the city and the track,
give the company more room for build
ing purposes. lessen the danger OF acci-
dents, and decrease the Interference
with the general business in the neigh
borhood. There Is evidently a diSpo-
sition on the part Of the railroad COM
pany to arrange the depot and track
running through the city limits so As
not to injure or Interfere with private
property. as also u accommodate the
general public rs much as possible.
The Company are about building n

pot building Is put up.

Bike" WILILAMs.-Many, as we'll
as ourself, have wondered why Will

Hams. His brother. however. explain;
II TO Us as follows: When a very small
bow. one of his little schoolfellows VINO
suffered very badly. or had sorhe I'M
pediment in his speech, used to try ant
pronounce his name, and the neares'
ne could come to Ii was Bling. Inc
other little boys got to calling MIN tht
same. and thus it was that he got u
nickname which will probably stick 70
him the rest Of his life.
