THE CUMBERLAND ROAD.
An Act Authorizing the Board of
Public Works to Change the LOca-
ton OF the Western End OF the
Cumberland Road, in this State.

Be it enacted by the Legislature of West
Virginia:
|. The Board OF Public Works is here.
by authorized to lay out and construct
a road, which shall be in lieu Of the
"Wheeling HILL" part Of the Cumber-
land road, commencing at or near to
the town of Fulton, in Ohio county, so
that said new road shall intersect with
the said Cumberland road, and running
from such point near said town
az said board may select, either around
the eastern base of what is known as
"Wheeling Hill" or from said point
across what is known as the PENN.
sula," 30 as to connect with some graded
and paved street within the corporate
lin Is of the city Of Wheeling. The
SAID location is 10 be determined by said
board upon such information as it may
deem satisfactory.
.. The said board is hereby authorized
and empowered to apply any excess OF
tolls received from said Cumberland
road, after keeping the same in good
order and repair, to the laying out and
construction of the road herein author
lied to be made.
3. The Board OF Public Works shall,
before the first day OF August, eighteen
hundred and seventytwo, cause a survey
to be made OF the different routes
specified in the first section Of this act,
and report to be made to it by COM
petent engineer Of the practicability and
probable cost Of the said respective
routes; and the said board shall there
upon determine which Of said routes
shall be chosen for the location of said
road; and in locating said road the
board shall be governed by the advan-
tages Of the respective routes, having
regard to the public convenience, the
comparative cost, the right of way as
may be offered by the land owDers
through whose lands it might pass, and
the relative amount of subscri ptions
offered as donations in behalf or in aid
ing the construction Of the respective

We publish this morning acts passes

We publish this morning acts passed
by the Legislature in relation to three
very important schemes OF public i'm
provement in this locality. The Rail-
road Bridge, the proposed change in the
location of the Cumberland road, and
the Wheeling and Benwood street rail-
way are all matters of much interest to
our people, and each promises valu-
able and much desired improvement.
Chief of these enterprises is the Bridge.
The company is chartered under the
name OF "the Wheeling and Ohio Union
Railroad Company" and is authorized
to locate, construct and maintain rail-
road from some point within the city Of
Wheeling, across the Ohio river to the
State OF Ohio. The general purpose Of
the company is to afford a.means OF
direct connection between all the several
railroads centering in this city and pro-
vide for the transmission Of pas
sengers and freight, east and
west, through this city without
changing cars or breaking bulk.
The bridge is regarded by many OF our
citizens as q matter OF actual necessity
to any important change in the railroad
facilities of the place. Cost what it
may, we must hare it if We expect to get
out Of the woods. THERE'S story told
of a boy who was discovered intently
watching a hole into which a wood
chuck had escaped and who, in reply to
the expression of some doubt as 10 his
success in capturing the animal, said
but must catch him, stranger, the
family is out Of meat" The city of
Wheeling is in pretty much the same
fix as regards railroad facilities and we
need some OF the energy Of desperation
displayed by the boy who was deter,
mined to catch the woodchuck. The
railroad bridge will probably cost a
round sum OF money, but it is not be-
yond our reach if the enterprise is pro-
perly conducted. In fact, we cannot
get along very well without it and the
sooner we determine it shall be built,
the sooner our railroad troubles will
come to an end.

Editors of the Register :

Editors OF the heSStel'
The Moupdsville Reporter Of Satur-
day last contains an article copied from
that vile sheet the National Police
Gazette, evidently written BY an ex-
convict, in which he depicts the most
horrible acts OF cruelty he could invent
and lays the scene in the MoundsviIle
Penitentiary. Nothing better could be
expected from such a source; but
what are we to think of an editor in our
midst who publishes these vile ISLANDERS.
In justice to Colonel Curtis and Mr..
Shallcross, l assert, positively, that
that there has been no wanton act OF
cruelty perpetrated in the Penitentiary
during their superintendent. They
are both humane, as is plainly depicted
on their coLtenances.
