SHIPPING CArTLE.-We are Informed that ar
rangements are being perfected for the shipment
OF cattle from the South Branch Valley over the
Cumberland Valley Railroad to Philadelphia
and New York, via Martinsburg, at freight rates
far more advantageous than those charged by
the Baltimore Ohio Railroad, from any point
east OF the Ohio river. BY this arrangement our
cattle men loose the Baltimore market which is
immateri"l, as all the cattle shipped from here
to baltimore are sold TO go on. or reshipped to
Phila de!phia and Ne-s York. The drive to Mar
tinsburg will be no disadvantage when the low
rate Of freight, not made public is taken INTO
consideration .NOorcfeld Adrertiser
