county neighbors should think so too.
4 Great facoHreRieaec. considerable
amount of goods of various kinds as way
freight, Is shipped over the Western Maryland
Railroad, which must be resliipped at iork
Road Station TO be delivered along the line OF
the Frederick and Pennsylvania Lime Rail.
road. This Is as we all think il ought 10 be.
IL the Merchants would ship by the Northern
Central Railroad, the reshipping would take
place at the Hanover Junction, then there
would be no difficulty, but then the Western
Maryland would not be supported, and to re.
shipat York Road, where the Frederick and
Pennsylvania Line Road passes some Is
feet below the bed of the Western Maryland,
entails vast amount Of labor and trouble
In this cut goods must be reshipped without
the aid Of derrick or hosting apparatus Of
any kind. The idea Of hand.roliing barrels
of oil, sugar and molasses, kegs Of nails,
boxes Of dry goods &c, up or down thirty
odd flights Of steps is simply outrageous. and
no other than the patient Hiltabridle Myers
would do it, But let the proper officers OF
the two roads know that these gentlemen are
about at the end Of this useless labor. ! am
not prepared to say which of the companies
ought to put up hosting apparatus, or
whether they ought both to unite in the work,
but | am prepared to say that the agents at
York Road will not endure the useless toll
I much longer.
Plaster of Paris, us a fertilizer, is again in
/ demand, and snch is the demand that not
more than one-half will, or can be supplied. /
Mr.. Merring, of Brucevie, has heavy orders
from west OF the mountain, whittier he ships
By the Western Maryland Railroad, while the |
plaster mills in and around Frederick are I'M
able to Gil all orders. Mr., Frank Cover has
mmenced erecting plaster mill here, and |
will be ready for the fall trade, He expects
to grind 1000 ton per season. This is as It |
ought to be- the surrounding country needs |
il and wants it. The Western Maryland kail'
road Company are in much need OF the freight,
and the many men out OF employment Reed
the hire the manufacturing of it will efiord.
The damage to fencing by the iee-tood is
nearly all repaired. Mr.. Lewis Cash, contem.
plating some changes, has not yet completed |
all his repairs, but will finish in few |
days Farmers living away from large streams
are unacquainted with This kind of labor and
heavy expense.

CORPORATION ELEcTIox.-The election for |
corporation officers took place on Monday. |
As there was but one ticket in the field the
vote was considerably below half the usual
poll We give the result below:

Considering the opposition of the leaders
Of the Republican party to ticket made up
of both parties, we think the amount of cut
ting done was very small indeed, and much
less than we had reason to anticipate, there
being but difference Of FIVE votes between
the candidates.
TEMPERANCE MEETISG.-A large audience
was present ON Monday night, in the Metho-
dist Protestant Church, Of this city, to hear
the address Of the Rev. Pennel Coombe, Of
| Philadelphia. The speakers voice was much
affected by the ''seyerest cold he ever had"
nevertheless he entertained the audience for
nearly two hours in very interesting address,
which, with the exception of a few caustic ut.
terances, was well received He told his au.
ditors that the question of ''loeal option was
coming, and that il would be pressed upon
them in Maryland, as it had been elsewhere.
The choral exercises on the occasion were of
a highly creditable character. Atthe close of
the meeting the speaker disposed of some
temperance documents, at dollar for the
collection, three in number, and shook hands
with such Of his auditors as went forward for
the purpose.
