Special Correspondence OF Intelligeneer.,
There Is On opinion prevalent among
travellers over the B. & o. Road, that
more advantageous arrangements in run.
ming passenger trains could and should DO
made; and after waiting an entire day for
an opportunity TO leave Fafrmont, we are
inclined to coincide.
Alter being q prisoner in a crowded
city 1t does seem good 10 move rapidly
especially Is this The case on the noun,
tains, where the air Is 80 hracing and
pleasant How grand the mountains
One ought TO have wings to live IN tnls
part OF the world. Here person begins
10 understand tho use Of his eyes, and to
discover the beauties, and harmonies, and
rich effects that pertain to Nature.

Is still q favorite resort for those who are
fortunate enough to leave the city during
the heated term. There are yet many
city people here, and these fine mornings
bring out the matutinal strollers who pat
ronize the mountain springs-for 1t Is
said the waters have mineral virtue.
There Is q great demand for such waters
as are said to encourage iron in the blood.
The very expression, IAN iron constitu.
ton" has something in 1t that Ia exceed.
ipgly fascinating to invalids. Thrice
armed is he who moves through life with
cutlery in his blood; and, knowing the
demand for 1t, druggists are forever In.
venting new specifics for its infusion.
This place Is now the county seat Of
Garrett county-a slice from Allegheny
county, Nd. and named in honor Of John
W. Garrett, late President Of the B. q o.
Railroad. The population is 900; but
In the summer season the number Is in
creased by city visitors to about 1900.
The houses arc all frame, and generally
have a respectable primness, which in
dictates aristocratic inmates. The people
have confidence in the advancement u
Oakland, as a county seat, and talk ex.
travagsn,ly Of future prosperity. The
|piice Of real estate Is rapidly rising, and
We doubt not the place will improve In
business and IN wealth. Among the en-.
prises already projected, Is an a
IMMENsE HOTEL,
TO be erected by the B, & o. Railroad Co.,
about half q mile cast Of Oakland, and to
cost 500, 000.. Itis stated that Gen. Kel.
ly, Of your city, who owns 10 farm i'm this
vicinity, proposes 10 donate twenty-five
acres Of land to the Company, for park,
ETC., II the house is erected. This, with
the probable location Of car shops by the
Company. which 1t Is said Is now under,
consideration, will give the place o lift
which. cannot fail to be beneficial to the
new county. NO.. li.-. =.

One OF these warns all persons that the

poses a fine Of $100 on all finale youths
who throw balls from one to another, or
