well for the Commissioners of Carroll county
to do likewise. Every county makes proyis

the tramps belong to no particular locality.

BALTIMORE AND CUMBERLAND VALLEY RAIL
RoAD.-We are indebted to the friends of
this road for map of the proposed route. 1t
will begin at Chambersburg, Pa. and connect
with the Western Maryland Railroad near
Smithsburg. The road will be p miles in
length, and in connection with the Western
Maryland, will make the through distance 90
miles from Chambersburg to Fulton Station,
or got to Hillen Station, Baltimore. The
road is not to cost more than $4,000 per
mile, and it can be completed in eight months.
Ii is strongly recommended to the favorable
consideration of merchants, farmers, manu-
facturers and citizens generally of the sections
OF country interested, by number of the
leading citizens of Chambersburg, Waynes
boro', and other parts of Franklin county,
Pa, and the city of Baltimore. If made it
would certainly be valuable feeder to our
road, which proposes TO lease it, and pay
seven per cent. per aunum interest upon its
cost.

took the truck used by the employees of the

use OF 1t in transporting themselves towards

placed the truck across the track and aban.
doned it. Shortly after an extra freight train
came along, ran into the truck and com.
pletely demolished it. Fortunately no dam
age resulted to the train. They were com
mitted to Towsontown jail for the action OF

the 18th inst, Mrs. Peter Hessou sent her
little son Nathan into the woods for some
chips, which were about fifty yards from the
barn. Near the place lay between two and
three hundred rails for post fence, and at the
end Of the rails was brush pile, which the
lad succeeded in kindling with match. He
then started with his chips for the house; but
when he came round the barn he was met by
his mother, who had discovered the smoke
and was anxious to learn from whence il
came. She asked her SON. and he remarked
that there was fire in the woods. Mr..
Hesson not being at home at the time, she
quickly ruug the dinner bell to summon the
neighbors, and in short time there were
about twenty people present, who used every
effort to prevent the fire from spreading into
the woods and making its way to the barn,
and by that time the flames were so great
that but few rails were saved, and even those
that were arc not fit for post fence.

There is no doubt that a majority
of the people prefer Mr.. Hayes pol
icy; that majority elected Mr.. Til
den, and Mr.. Hayes is performing
only moral justice in doing IS the
majority wish.-N. Y. Herald.
This is the exact truth in a nut
shell; and, if Hayes had SO declared
when he took the oath of office, he
would have been in a different posi-
ton from what lie is now. On the
southern, question, he is doing exact
ly what the democrats pledged them
selves to do, but he uttered no such
sentiments when a candidate, and he
is now acting in direct opposition to
the known and expressed wishes of
those who voted for him. If he had
the manhood to declare that he has
become a convert to democratic prin-
ciples, that he is acting with the par
ty that cast the greatest number of
votes, that ''his policy is no inven-
ton Of his own, but that of the par
ty which opposed and defeated him
at the polls then he would be clearly
understood and appreciated. His
false pretence is what is making him
the contempt and ridicule of all in
telligent men.

The contest of the will of the late
Commodore Vanderbilt was begun a
couple of weeks since. The plaintiff
is endeavoring to show that for
many years prior to his death the
old man was unduly influenced by
William H. Tt is claimed that this
son never crossed his father in anv
thing, and that he used the Influence
which he thus acquired, against the
other children. The medical testi,
mony shows that for years the Com
modore suffered from a complication
of diseases which would have unset
tied the mind of almost any person,
and yet not one of the physicians
that it affected their patient
in the least degree.

Gath, in his Washington letter to
the Enquirer says, of Hayes admin
istration:
Vixen we consider that the Admin
tration has already passed nearly
nine months, OF nearly one-ffth of its
whole career, it may occur to us that
Hayes has not dealt with any thing
vigorously. He is still confronted
by an embittered Congress; he has
no civil service policy that is under
stood; he has emancipated the South
Elm whites, but without clearing the
docket of contests for four seats in
the Senate, which will revive section
al debates again and solidily the
Democratic South. He has, howev-
er, recovered the army uy the vote of
the South, and will probably pass
his appointments through the SEN
ate, nearly a year after he came to
his Office. AS the Senate will soon
be Democratic, Hayes a fraternize
with it and make his Administration
the transitory passage between the
party that vol the war and the par
ty that lost it; a useful but hardly s
heroic Presidency.

An organization having its head

An organization having its head
quarters at Chicago, and Known as
the Chicago Colonization, and Ag-
ricultural Industrial Company, has
purchased a hundred thousand acres
of land in Alabama, upon which it
is proposed to establish a colony OF
emigrants from the Northwest.
Such a thing as this was not heard
of during the days of carpet-bag rule
in the South. No sooner, however,
is a Democratic home-rule establish
ed than the South is converted into
a land pleasant and desirable to live
in. Under Republican carpet bag
rule, the Northern people and news
papers maintain that a Northern
mar could not live there at all. We
have always thought that it made a
great difference what kind of rulers
a people had; and here we have a
practical illustration of the fact.
