gang of hands engaged in grading the Maryland
and Pennsylvania Railway, in this town, (who
struck last week for higher wages,) have stop
ped work entirely, and consequently everything
is at stand STILL 1t is rumored that such effects
rs belong to McSsrs. Brown IL Zeigler, the con-
tractors, will be sold at public sale in few
days. Mr. Walter Scott, who is still working
at his contract, near the Gunpowdcr, will finish
in few days. Many unpleasant rumors arc
afoat in reference TO the work, but we do not
care to give currency to them, as their publica-
tion will do no good to any one. The cutting

ever troubles may be in the way will be speedily
removed, so that the work may be finished at

are but temporary and that in few days the
men will again be at work. 1OgSonto1cn Journal.
