The Advertiser is amusing its read.

In regard to the first paragraph, we
don't consider 1t very specific. II
does not state why we whistle, and
leaves the reader to infer what he
pleases. In such case wicked men
might say the Advertiser meant that
we were passing the Democratic
graveyard and Whistled to keep up
our courage for the reason the dry
bones rattled-because some Of the
Democratic corpses insist on accept

As to the last paragraph, We confess

Railroad Affairs. But little that IS
new has developed in railroad matters,
although everything is progressing.
IT. Huss receive a letter from Mr..
Sturges, President of the NJ. c. & NJ. R.
R., Tuesday, stating that the Penn
sylvania Co. had sent the mortgage
ofthe road to him for record and that
as soon as the recording was done the
Company announced the ironing Of
the road would commence.
The final survey of the B. & o.
Railroad between Havana, on the L.
E. Division of the road and Chicago,
is finished. 1t is divided up into
divisions and our division extends
from Havana to Defiance, o. Charles

Engineer of this Division is in this city,
and will open a Construction Office
here. 1t is announced that the whole
line will be put under contract by and
du-irg July, and the grading compile

As we announced last week, the

last, and Randolph and Keyser, with
Representatives of the NJ, G. & L. NJ,
the Continental and the c., S & c,
Railroads meet here the first week in
June to arrange for depot grounds
crossing the river and ways to gel
through the city. or course this SIM
ply contemplates the arrangement
of the tracks, etc, after the people of
this city have furnished the grounds,
which they are bound by agreement
to and properly should donate to the
new roads.
When the Baltimore project was
first broached, February o, we stated
that there was possibility that the
shops of the company would be lcca'
ted here, if we took hold of the matter
as we ought. On his last visit here,
Mr.. Randolph, Chief Engineer of the
B. & OR. R. Co., stated that this wa:
a proper place for their shops, as New
