THE RAILROAD WAR.-Up to the latter
part Of last week the freight rates OF the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad from Balti-
more to this city were as follows
First class, 50 cents second 45 third
10 fourth 30 special Is. These rates
were not regarded as high, but what will
be thought of this schedule, put in opera
ton last week First class 3j; second
30 third p fourth 20, and special IS.
No sooner had the Pennsylvania rail
road company become spprised of these
wholesale reductions than they at once
cut under them as follows First elias;
30 second % third 20 fourth Is, and
special 10.
Some shipments were made by the Penn
sylyania railroad yesterday at the above
named rates, and the war may be said &c
be fairly commenced, as it is not probable
that the Baltimore and Ohio railroad will
allow the large traffic from Baltimore to
this city to flow over the Pennsylvania
road.-Crm6eTIdRd AeHs.

BOLD Recommendations half past nine
O'Clock, last Friday evening, some thieves
secured an entrance into the stOreroOm Of
A. N. Stewart 81 Co., in this place, by
breaking a panel out of a back door, and
were going through the establishment
in the most approved style, when j.. a. G.
Ruffner, Esq, appeared upon the scene
and spoiled their little game. Mr.. Ruffnei
was on his way home, when he was at.
tracted by the light the thieves made, and
thinking some of the clerks were inside
he stepped up 70 purchase some caps for
a shot gun he had in his hand. This alarm
ed the thieves, who made good their es-
cape. leaving no traces behind them. For
tunately they had not time to secure any
thing Of any value excepting some pocket
cutlery, and a small amount of torn cur
rency, nickeis, etc, which were in the
till, as Mr.. Hoffman had put the cash n
the safe at the close of business. The
early hour at which this robbery occurred
shows the holiness OF the thieves, as the
store had only been closed a short time.
We would advise our citizens to be on the
lookout for future operations of this kind.

The following we find in an exchange,
and as it applies to Somerset, We print it:
The man who is active, constant, pro-
crossing, enterprising and economical in
conducting his business, must meet with
large success. But if on the other hand
he is sluggish, changing, not advancing,
old fogy and eXtravagant in managing his
business, his place will be passed by and
other places selected where the first plat
form is acted upon in every business mat
ter. Now, there are many business men
who do not advertise their business in the
news iapers, and the public, therefore,
know little of what they have for sale. II
a man is too lazy or stingy to notify the
public of what he has for sale, the chances
are that the customers who do %patronize,
cannot buy to so good an advantage as at
the other places where more liberality and
enterprise are shown.

PoTAToEs.-Many farmers and others
removed their potatoes from the earth
where they were buried, during the warm
weather which prevailed some two weeks
since. The cold spell which followed
played sad havoc with them. Thousands
of bushels in Somerset county have been
damaged, ifnot totally ruined.
A gentleman Of this town informs US
that he planted some badly frozen potatoes
in a box and placed it by the stove. In a
few days they all sprouted finely. We
would not advise our friends to plant their
entire crop with frosted seed, but as the
tubers will be both scarce and dear, a few
rows might be risked by each farmer.
