1T IS TO run TRAINS OVER TUE PEaNsYL
YANIA 4 DELAWARE ROAD.

1T IS TO HuS TRAINS OVER the PENNsYL
vANtA a DELAWARE ROAD.
On Saturday last the negotiations which
have been pending for some time between
the Boards Of Directors Of the Wilmington
& Western and Pennsylvania & Delaware
Railroads, resulted in an agreement on the
part Of the W. Il W. Company TO operate
the other road aud the trains will there
fore shortly begin running from here TO
POmerOy.
This will about double the length Of
road operated by the Wilmington & West
orn Company and doubtless contribute to
lie advantage, To the benefit Of Whining
ton, and the convenience of the people
( living along the line of the road.
! The arrangement will 20 into effect as
soon as Y can he built at Pomeroy to
enable locomotives to turn, probably in
about ten days, and will continue under
/ the existing arrangement until the Penn
/ sylvania Railroad Company takes formal
/ possession Of the P. n ID. Rail- Dad. After
that VIC presume some arrangement for n
continuance Of the operations will be
made, though we have no official advice
tO,that effect.
The W. x W. Company has also the
privilege Of conveying the mails over the
extended line.
The new arrangement gives the VIII
ningtOn & Western Company about double
its present length of road to operate, but
Il Is fully prepared with rolling stock for
the purpose. We shall be abe In the
course Of a few days to announce what
changes will be necessary 10 the running
Of trains, &c.7

On Saturday evening as we passed down
Market street we saw transparency dis
played on the corner Of Fifth and Market
streets, with the inscription Free Read

IN that class Of work for humanity to call
In and sec what II was and how II was
patronized. We found there luur long
tables covered with papers and magazines
and surrounded by men and boys evidently
mechanics and apprentices, reading quietly
aud interestedly. We counted seventy
two in the room, and we're Informed that
many had Been III and gone out, and that
not less than hundred people awaited
themselves of the privileges offered here
each evening, in good and bad weather,
thought what golden opportunity to
reach this class Of people with good infa-
ences, and how much better is II to give
those people all the advantages they want
Of this kind than TO leave them to the
demoralizing Influences Of idleness, folly
and vice. Whoever il doing this good
work ought to he encouraged and aided,
and II they will explain to the Christian
people of this community what they re
quire am sure they will receive all The
assistance they need. OBSERVER.
