On last Sunday afternoon note WIS re-
Ceivcd at this Office from Mr.. I. G. Kan
merer, ono of the Vice Presidents of the
above road, stating that train would
leave the Y at o'clock to meet the iirs,

ter Immediately accepted the kind invita-
ton OF Mr.. kammerer and repaired to the
place OF starting, where we found 100 tc
LOO persons awaiting the arrival OF the en-.
CINE and cars which have been hauling
coal from tho Enterprise Coal Works. Al
about a quarter ofthrce o'clock the onpinr
pulled out with three coal flats filled with
some OF the representative men OF this
place, among whomwere several directors
OF the road, the soliciting committees
IN the borough, representatives OF
all the newspapers, &c. Our train
proceeded at o moderate rate until we
arrived near VanCe's school house, some
three or four miles south, when We met
the first through train, composed Of the
engine, in charge Of engineer Hugh Pr.
ker and fireman O'Brien, several flats and
two passenger coaches. Upon entering
the coaches We found Superintendent a.

j., u, Thomas, West Frye and several
other directors and 60Ma OF the citjzons
who lived along the limo. The two trains
woro united and We Immediately started
for this place with q train consisting Of
tho two engines, the two coaches and ten
or twelve flats. The steep grade up Nor.
gan's Summit was made without any cf.
tort by the engines, and when we arrived
upon tho long. trestle.work the train was
stopped, but tho work seemed secure, rs
every part OF THO trestle appeared MS solid
as il VIC were upon a rock foundation.
Upon arriving at Inns Summit both on.
gines commenced TO whistle, and with the
screaming OF the engines, and the ringing
OF bells, the first train OF tho PlttsbIrUb
Southern entered Washington. wI:ero
