BALTIMORE AND HANOVER RAILRoAD.-Our
Hampstead correspondent writes The Sec
ond annual election of Board of Directors
of the Baltimore and Hanover Railroad Com
pany, was held at the hotel of II. H. La
motto, Hampstead, on Tuesday, the 18th in
slant, when the following gentlemen were
elected: Capt. A. w. Eichelberger, l.. F.
Melsheimer and Stephen Keefer. of Hanover,
Pa; VIM. H. Hoffman, of Baltimore county;
Calvin C. Wooden, of Carroll county; and
Chas. W. Slagle and VIII. Vickery, of Bal
timore city. These gentlemen comprise the
Board of Directors for the ensuing year.
Quite number of railroad contractors were
present, seeking contracts on the remaining
sections of the road. The skepticism of the
croakers is rapidly passing away, and the
certainty of the Ridge Route is looming up
before their affrighted eyes, and like the ghost
of Banquo paralyZes the arm of him who
would destroy so valuable an enterprise The
grading the road issuing from Maple Swamp
is slowly, but surely, approaching Hamp-
stead, whence it will proceed by an almost
direct line to Emory Grove, where it inter
sects the Western Maryland Railroad. The
line of the road, from same two miles above
Hampstead, until it reaches Emory Grove, is
along the ridge or watershed dividing the
tributaries of the Patapsco Falls from those
of the Gunpowder, and amid fertile and de-
lghtful region, affording the finest sites for
building country seats, with pure air and water
and delightful views along the whole distance
of 10 miles. There is no other railroad In
the State projected or built upon a watershed,
and none, therefore, so highly favored in
these respects.
The Board organized by electing Capt. A.
w. Eichelberger, President; l.. +. Melshei-
mer, Secretary, and R. NJ. Writ, Treasurer.

Mr.. j. A. Kretzer. The operation was per-
formed in the presence of DR.. j. W. Herring,
and DR.. J. Howell Billingslea. The pin had
been forced up, head foremost, and was i'm
bedded in the mucous membrane which lines
the cavity. Itappears the young lady had had
a large molar tooth extracted, which remain
ing sore, she undertook to probe with the pin,
when getting beyond her reach, it would seem
match was used, and the pin was accident
ally forced in as above stated. The young
lady suffered severely for IA days. when the
pin was extracted, which DR.. Fouke accom-
plished by enlarging the opening in the foo.
of the mGriiiary sinus, and using pair OF
delicate root forceps. The young lady is
doing we'll since the removal of the pin.
