As ENTERTAINMENT AT MOuST UNION. On
Friday evening, March 18th, an entertainment
was held in the school house at Mt. Union,
by the pupils of the school, assisted by the
young ladies and gentlemen Of that vicinity,
The entertainment, which consisted Of dia.
logues, Fscitations and music, seemed to give
universal satisfaction TO the audience and re.
hected great credit on the performers. Among
the young ladies' who so ably performed their
parts may be mentioned, Misses NJ. A. and
l.. Null Misses A. and b. Lynn, Misses Boil.
linger, Yingling, Leatherwood and Wilson,
The comic element was most irresistably
brought out by Messrs. Bowers, johnson aud
Bowman. Messrs. Wilson, Koons, Crabbs,
Leatherwood, Bollinger and others, whose
names we did not learn performed their parts
in an able and effective manner, We must
not forget to mention a tahleau-"Sleeping
Beauty in which Lulu Norris was perfect
picture Of innocence and beauty; nor omit to
mention the dialogue Of Frog Hollow Lyeeum,
in which Miss A. Baust rendered so happily
the character of "Polly Shipper" The little
folks must also be mentioned with praise for
having reciled some very pretty little speeches.
The teacher, Mr.. j. Crabbs, was disappointed
in getting the musicians, and Miss Florence
Yingling, Of Uniontowu, and Miss Sue Crabbs,
of Union Bridge, kindly favored the audience
with several songs.

We understand that the engineers have
again gone to work surveying the route for a
railroad between this place and Gettysburg.
Mr.. Starkweather, chief engineer, informs US
that very easily graded route can be obtain.
ed, and he feels satisfied the road would be a
great advantage to both places. 1t was at
first presumed that three distinct routes
would be surveyed-one to intersect the Fred.
erick Division about Sells Station, one at
Littlestown and one at Kingsdale. We learn,
however, that the course toward Sells Stat
ton has been abandoned, and that very
strong pressure will be brought to bear by
persons most directly Interested to have the
roads join at kingsdale. Kingsdale would
no doubt be an excellent point, but, should
tho road ever be built, we advise our business
men to look we'll to their interests and have
the junction NJ this place. = ifilesloirn Neirs.

RAILROAD MEgTING.--A correspondent at
Hampstead under date of March IL, says -
The Directors of the Baltimore and Hanover
Railroad held meeting in this place to-day.
The meeting was largely attended by people
Of the vicinity, aud some from distance.
The Directors let the remaining portion Of
the work, from st. Paurs Church TO the En-.
DRY Grove Camp ground, where it connects
with the Western Maryland Railroad Sec
tons 10 aud IA to Joseph aud Benjamin Con.
der, OF Lancaster county. Section 10 to Mr..
Smith, of Resterstown, and sections 10 and
II to Archibald Favorite. Mr.. Fayorite is
already at work, and the rest of the contrac.
tors will start up as soon as they can get ready;
some time the coming week.
The Board has partly concluded not to cross
the pike at Woodensburg, although petition
was circulated, and several hundred sigma
lures obtained, all along the pike for several
miles around. The petition was addressed to
the Directors of the Baltimore and Hanover
Railroad Company, and the many who signed
it prayed that the company would locate the
road on the west side Of the pike, crossing at
Woodensburg. 1t was surveyed on the west
as well as on the east side, after the jury had
made the enormous damages to j. B. Slade
on the east side. But when the matter was
presented to Hon. Andrew Banks, be asked
$4,000 to cross his field and piece OF wood.
land. The company could not deal with
Banks for n part Of his land, although he now
comes out and says that he was ready to deal
with them. Not less than four times he was
called upon, but would not settle upon any
terms. The intention of this, crossing the
pike Mt Woodensburg, was to avoid as much
as possible the danger OF coming in contact
with the railroad, Mr.. Banks asked $500 per
acre for his land OF course the company
could not think OF paying such prices. In
case the railroad does not cross the turnpike,
the people who travel the pike will not soon
forget Mr.. Banks for asking such damages
that he knew would prevent crossing, " hen
the turnpike company will not take less than
$500 for crossing, and it would necesitate two
fiagmen at considerable expense, This road
when completed will be of considerable inter
est to Baltimore city and to the State and ad.
vantagcous to many persons, so that all should
lend helping hand instead Of trying to dis
courage and prevent it. Many advantages
could be named, &C., but will defer them for
some other time.

BURGLARY residence Of Mrs. Cordelia
Beaver, on Liberty street, this city, was en-.
tered by a burglar about half past one o clock
Tuesday night He tried to enter through
window at first, but that being fastened he
unlocked the front door. After passing in,
he went across the kitchen, and opened the
door of the bedroom, and had gotten little
distance inside when Mrs. Beaver called to
her son, whereupon the unlimited visitor de.
camped, locking the front door again in his
flight. Some OF the neighbors, about the time
Of the occurrence, had observed some one in
the yard with lantern, and it is supposed
that there were two burglars-one to execute
their designs and the other to stand guard.
Mr.. Cyrus Willets, who resides in the same
building, is Of the opinion that his apartments
were the object of the visit, the thieves being
under the impression that he had money in
his possession. Their timely discovery was
fortunate, and it is a pity that a Jew shot
were rot sent after them to hasten their
fight.

Love and Marriage.

A popular writer says: "A young
man meets pretty facs in a ballroom,
falls in love with it, courts it, marrles
it. goes to housekeeping with 1T, and
boas is of having a home and a wife to
grace it. The chances are, nine to ten,
that he has neither. He has been
"taken in and done for Her pretty
face gets to be an old story, or becomes
faded, or freckled, or fretted; and az
the face was all he wanted, all he PAID
attention to, all he sat up with, all he
bareained for, all he swore to honor
and protect, he gets sick of his trade,
knows a dozen faces he likes better,
gives up staying at home evenings
consoles himself with cigars, oysters
and politics, and looks upon his home
as very Indifferent boarding-house."
"Take another case. A young wo-
man is smitten with pair of whis-
kers. Curled hair never before had
such charms. She sets her cap for him;
they take it. The delighted whiskers
makes an offer, protlering themselves
both in exchange for one heart. MY
dear Miss is overcome with magnaniml-
tv. closes the bargain, carries home the
prize. shows it to pa and ma, calls
herself engaged to it, thinks there never
was such pair of whiskers before, ano
in few weeks they are married. Mar
ried! Yes, the world calls it so, and Sc
we will. What is the result? A shor
honeymoon, and then they discove
that they are as unlike as chalk AM
cheese"
