The New Valley Railroad.

"a large and enthusiastic Railroad
meeting in the interests OF the pro
posed new Railroad from Grafton tc
Roaring Creek, was held at Phi'ippi
on Monday last. 1t was largely AT
tended by the interested citizens o1
Barbour county, particularly. al
though prominent gentlemen were
present from Randolph, Upshur,
Lewis and Taylor-our county being
represented by Col. l.. r. Cofran, II,
IS. Wilson, ESQ, aud Hon. John NJ
Thaver. Striving addresses were
made By Hon. D. d. T. Farasworth,
Hon Samuel Woods, president OF
the meeting,) II. S Wilson, Esq
and Others, and the interest IN the
Road seemed to be universal and
practical We are informed that
Barbour county viii give $4,000 Ia
the enterprise: that numerous inter
estcd citizens pledged $4,000 more,
and that the prospect is good foT OBJ
tanning substantial pledge of the
whole amount required at an early
day. 1t is estimated that the Road
could be put in running order to
Philppi for $4,000; and it is con
fideHtlr believed tina, within the next
eighteen months ears Will be on the
track, aud business established. We
do not believe this to be Il visionary
project we regard it as so necessary
TO The prosperity OF the counties
through which it will pass, that the
people cannot afford longer to do
without it, and We think the prospect
is good for its early ultimate perma
nence We shall keep our readers
posted rs events transpire."
We cut the above from the Graf
ton Sentinel. The road proposed is
very much needed and we hope the
projectors will not be disappointed 1t
will not be very great distance from
the terminus of this road to the head
waters of Elk, to which it might be
extended.

RAILROAD MEETING.-Our rail

afternoon at three O'clock. The al
tendance was good. The spirit was
sanguine and quite satisfactory. The
committee are of the opinion that all
things are working satisfactorily and
that work SilI soon begin at least at
both ends Of the route, and perhaps
at Chllicothe. The object OF the meet
ing was to determine what should he
the change, ifany, in our subscrlp-
ton, and what should be the form Of
the new subscriptions We get. Mr.
Damarin moved that the committee
proceed with subscriptions in the
same form as before, and that when
the Scioto Valley Company come
here We make arrangements with
them that those who choose to take
their subscriptions in stock let them
do 50. and those who prefer making
donations let them also be accomoda-
ted. Carried. -Portsmoath Globe.
