contemplated connection with the Ches,
apeake. & Ohio road, which with its
northern outlet at Hagefslown will give
us direct railroad communication with
the whole country, North, South, East
aud West, and be the means OF develop
ing the vast and varied mineral resour-
ces which are so accessible along the
line of this road, while at the same time
it will in every way promote the mate
rial prosperity of our people.
The company who now have charge
of the construction o. the road are men
of character, capital, experience and en-
terprise. What they undertake 10 ac-
complish they DO promptly, and all
their work is of firstclass character.
The rolling stock with which they have
equipped the road is i'll keeping with
the best models used on the Peunsy!va-
MIA Railroad, and Of course lis passen-
ger ears are more comfortable than any
we have been accustomed 10 see on the
i. & O. Il. Il. The depot buildings at
the various stations are uniformly neat,
convenient and in striking contrast with
those abominably dirty and altogether
dsagreeable little loating dens which
the Is. & 0. Company lave for station
houses along their lines of road, and,
which ftly illustrate the liberal and &C
commodaling disposition OF that compa-
ny towards the travelling public and to
those in lis employment. ~
But our composition tells us TO stop, as
there is 10 room lett in our editorial col
umns for further remarks, and we close
by congralulating all the readers OF the
Register upon the now fixed fact that
we at last have our long looked for rail
road with its daily trains running to and
from our town according to the Cline
