The Railroad.

AeSsrs. Editors We are rrati6ed 10 he
able TO state that the growing interest for the
success Of this enterprise, the extension of
the Bachman Valley Railroad, is being mani.
Tested among the citizens of this community,
and il the work commenced the past month
should be continued, as we hope it NAV, we
expect to be able in short time to give an
encouraging account of the amount OF stock
secured. Some Of those who should be most
interested to secure the extension of the road
are doing the least, The farmers and the
citizens in Manchester and Hampstead, and
all along the proposed route should ioin in.
1t is the ridge route that will succeed IL all do
their duty. There can be no motive for nc.
ton nor hope of success us long as such re.
main inactive. | regret that all efforts so far
have tailed to move some of this class. They
manifest stole indifference, although a rail.
road would enrich them above others, they
are neither willing to lend their means nor
their influence to secure it, whilst the hod
carrier and laborer by the day are going for.
ward and contributing their mite. Is not
such selhshness and want of public spirit in.
excusable? There is another donothing class
who argue that the road will be extended if
we never subscribe dollar. For this report
there is no foundation in truth. Yes, it will
be extended, but not through Manchester,
Hampstead and along the ridge, but some
other way, This is certainly very ingenious
plan to withhold subscriptions aud cripple
our enterprise, but it will fail of success, I'M.
less our people are more easily duped than
suppose.
The proposition on the part of the Bach.
man Valley Railroad Company is both fair
and reasonable, and it is for us 10 decide the
ailimportant matter-rdilroad or no railroad.
II should also be remembered that there are
but nine miles to build from Chestnut Hill
Ore Banks to Westminster, and that we have
nineteen from Black Rock Station to Refs.
terstown, aud the cost will be in proportion to
the length. To connect with Reisterstown is
better than to go to Westminster, yet there is
an effort now being made to run it to West.

An amusing incident, though one that
might have proved fatal, is told by one of our
citizens, Joshua S. In the spring of "a,
while passing over the Carroll County Aims
House farm, his attention was arrested by
hearing something like ''boo-hoo hoo" He
paid no attention at first, when "boo.hoo.
hoo came again, louder than before. and
seeing two Of the inmates of the Aims House
going in the same direction, concluded to in.
vestigate. What was his Amusement at be.
holding the head Of man protruding from
the ground, the balance of his person being
buried. 1t proved to be Peter K, one of the
inmates, who is subject to rheumatism, and
thinking clay good remedy for the com.
plant, concluded to have himself buried,
after which he told the two men that did The
work for him to 60 home to their dinners and
then come back and extricate him. rhe
ground being cold he was soon chilled through
and through, which caused the "boo-hoo-hoo.
ing heard by Mr.. S., who says he was blue
from the cold earth around him. The three
set to work and after removing all the clay,
extricated him, but the poor old fellow was
almost dead from cold, and has concluded not
to try the eold.clay system any more.

REsIGNED.-The Centreville, Nd. Obseyrsr,
of Tuesday last, contains the following in re-.
latlon to one of our citizens:
Mr.. Vim. A. Cunningham, Cashier of the
Centrevile Bank, has resigned his position to
take effect on the 2Sd of April. When he
consented last fall to take charge Of the bank
it was for the sole purpose Of organizing it
and educating other gentlemen to the bust
ness, who could afterwards take his place.
His engagements in Westminster are Of such
a character that he could not accept other
than temporary engagement here, and as he
feels confident that those who have assisted
him in the bank are fully competent to man
age 1t he desires to retire and pursue his en-.
gagements at home, which are pressing him.
Upon accepting his resignation last Wednes.
day the Board of Directors unanimously
adopted the following resolution:
"Resored. That in accepting the resignation Of our
Cashier, Mr. W A. Cunningham, now for the second
time offered by him. we express our sincere regrets
at our separation and cannot refn from testiiying
our entire appreciation OF the courteous and efficient
manner in which he has discharged the duties OF
ms position while with us and that he carries with
him the best wishes Of this Board.
The resolution aptly expresses it, Mr..
Cunningham does carry with him the "best
wishes Of the Board, " and also of the com
munity. He has been among us but few
months, and yet few men have ever gone into
a community and so thoroughly captured the
good wishes and esteem of the people as has
Mr.. Cunningham. He is an intelligent gen.
tleman, thoroughly competent bank officer,
posted in regard to every department in bank
ing, and clever, genial man full of good
humor and kindness. As a bank officer he
was ever obliging, polite and afiable, and in
that rather different from bank officers one
usually comes in contact with in the cities.
In whatever walks in life he may be called to
pursue he will have with him the very kindest
feelings of our people and their best wishes
for his prosperity and long life.

MURDER NEAR LiBERrY,-Ihe Frederick
Ezamiher, Of Wednesday last says :-On
Wednesday last a foul murder occurred in
Liberty district, in this county, the particu-
lars Of which, as near as we could gather
them, are as follows On the above morn.
ing colored man named Solomon Costley,
in company with another colored man named
Edward Dorsey, cousin Of his, who had
been on visit TO Costley's house far the past
three or four months from Massachusetts,
started from their home, which is in Mount
Pleasant district, to go to Liberty, distance
of about two miles. Dorsey, previous TO
starting, said he would go to a neighbor' and
borrow gun as he might come across some
game on the road, They started off together,
COstley having in his possession about $50
in money, which fact was known to Dorsey.
Nothing else was heard OF the men until last
Saturday, when the body Of Costley was found
in Nussbaums woods, near Liberty, dead,
having been shot in the back Of the head,
and his pockets riiled of the money. An in.
quest was held on the body, the jury return
ing verdict that deceased came to his death
by being shot in the back of the head by some
person unknown to the Jurors. Costley, il is
said, was a very worthy colored man, and
leaves a wife aud children. He was about
thirty years old. Dorsey, the supposed muir
derer, is cousin of Costley. Dorsey's father
was slave some thirty years ago, and ran OF
from his master in Liberty district, going to
Massachusetts, and after rriying there chang
ed his name from Costley to Dorsey. The
supposed murderer Dorsey is about twenty
years Of age, five feet nine inches high, light
sugar cake color, short curly hair, weighs
about one hundred and fifty pounds, and has
a dimple in his chin. 1t is said on Wednes
day evening Dorsey passed through Mount
Pleasant, coming towards this city, where he
no doubt took the railroad, and up to this
time nothing further has been heard of him.
| The matter is in the hands Of States Attorney
Motter, who will make every effort to capture
Dorsey and bring him to justice.
