WE are glad to hear that the portion

now in operation between Bellaire and

is, paying something more than expenses.
Mr.. Morgan is making strenuous efforts
to carry forward the work to Woodsfeld,
and we doubt not that he will, by some
plan or other, succeed. The present plan
ia to hypotbecate 100000 Of the bonds Of
the road for $5S,OOO in cash, and II that
amount can be raised, it will, with the
assistance Of funds from other sources,
be sufficient TO complete the road. When
completed the b. Il s. W. will be the best
feeder that Bellalre has ever had. It
will also bring a good deal Of trade to

GEORGE WALLACE.
In an interview with George Wallace,
he informed your correspondent that he
was born in Ohio county, W. Va, on a
farm called the "Findley place." Said
that he had been living in Wetzel county
about six years in and around Littleton.
Ia about % years old and was married
about three years ago TO Miss Mary
Roberts Of tlis county. Says that near
a year ago he, with his wife, went TO
Washington county, Pa, intending TO
make 1t their home for the future, but
soon got so tired Of that section that they
returned to this county after a months
Absence. Went back to Washington
county, however, on visit last fall aud
remained about ak weeks, husking corn
the while for a farmer, named George
Price. DIR. Fonner, OF Littieton, does
him the credit to say that he Is among
the few Of his patrons who pay their bills
promptly. George remarked that he had
never lived in any State except West
Virginia aud Pennsylvania, but learned
to day froma reliable person that he had
at one time drove team for a Mr.. Butler,
