Railroad Notes.

Monday night as the midnight train
arrived from Charlotte, lad named
fitzgerald boarded it, and few huns
dred yards below, at Wray's crossing,
he jumped aud broke his leg. The boy
said he was only for taking short
ride.-ReidsriUe Times.
Three COWS who thought to take ad-
vantage of the law recently passed by
bic offence to kill their kind on the
Carolina Central Railway, betook
themselves to feed along its line. aud
day before yesterday afternoon all fell
at the same time victims to the rapaci~
ty of the iron hOrse.-Chdrlotte Ob-
serUer. That railroad ought to take
a share in Beef-Hashery.
On Thursday, March 18th, the pas
senger train on the r. & 6. Railroad
will leave Raleigh at a. m.. and ar
rive at Weldon at 12:40 p. m. returns
ing, it will leave Weldon at 3:25 D. m ;,
and arrive at Raleigh at S:25 D. m
The accommodation will leave Raleigh
at 10 p. NJ, and arrive at a. M. The
mail train makes connection with the
Seaboard and Petersburg Railroads.
The schedule on the Raleigh and Au~
gusta will be SO changed that the train
leaves here at a, m, reaching Ham
let at 2:15 p. M, in time to connect
wich trains on the Carolina Central.
Returning, the train leaves Hamlet at
2:45 p. M, arriving here at 9:45 o. no. :,
making close connec ion with the
tr light on the Raleigh and CASTOR.
which will leave at 10 o'clock.
1t is learned from a gentleman Just
from Mocksville that the work of Eoca-
ting the Winston and Salem & Moores-
vile Railroad from Third creek station,
Oh the Western North Carolina Rail-
road, to Mocksville, has just been
completed, and contracts have already
been taken to build portion Of it, the
contractors agreeing to take stock in
the road in payment for their work.
All the line between Mooresville and
Third creek station is under contract,
and several miles of it have been
graded. The people of Mocksvile,
who have been for years clamorous for
a railroad have taken hold Of the work
with all the zeal and energy Of a
thrifty and enterprising people. We
understand that Davio county will un-
hesitatingly vote an appropriation of
$50, 900 TO aid In purchasing the rolling
stock, building Dridg $, depotS. &C..
that in fact the people are determined
that the road shall II ach MocksvilIe, il
it never goes a foot beyond. A Col
umbia writer in the Charleston News &
Courier says: 1.-The Spartanburg q
Asheville Railroad is neither dead nor
sleeping. am informed by the best
authority that it is fully intended to
lay the track from it's present terminus
to Henderson, and the necessary steps
have been already taken to secure the
rails and place them in position in
time to accommodate tie summer
travel. The services of an experienced
Photographic artist have been secured
for the purpose of obtaining a CONS
plete series of views of the most in-
teresting points along the route. These
will be properly distributed through-
out the country, and can hardly fail to
have the desired effect of attracting

ONLY ONE HALF.-Our friends will
be pleased to bear in mind that the
present P.oprietors Of this paper took
charge on Saturday hence are not re-
sponsible for any regularity in issu-
ing the last number which should have
appeared on Thursday. They also
found four pages of this weeks num-
ber already in type, and filled with
miscellaneous matter, as will be seen.
Consequently the present number is
one-half "old," one half new issue" !"
Next week we shall do better. 1t is
proper to explain that the extract
from circular by the former Grand
Master Of the State Grange was in one
of the pages already printed when we
took charge. 1t will be changed at
once.
