! A New Railroads. gentleman resid-
ing in this community informs us that on
meeting with an old railroad man from Vir-
ginia, a few days ago, asked what he thought
Of the prospect of the building OF the Balti-
more and Cincinnati Short Line through this
county" He said, a man was sent to Lees
burg few weeks ago who took notary
public and two negro men down on the hills
above Edwards Ferry, drove some stakes,
saying there was where the railroad was to
run, and put the men to digging ditch
few yards long, so as to save their charter.
But think the company who now have an
Office in Washington are either connected
with the Northern Central or Baltimore and
Ohio, and are waiting to buy the Washing
ton and Ohio railroad which is now in the
hands Of a receiver, an and order Of the court
for its sale is expected soon, and il so the y
could put that road in first rate order to
Washington and Alexandria where they
both now connect, for less than ii would
cost TO build ten mi les of this road, particu-
larry if they begin near Leesburg and come
this way. If the Northern Central gets it
they will be likely to extend it, but if the
Baltimore and Ohio secures it, they would
only put it in good running order
"Now, while | do not wish to throw a
bomb shell in the camp of my jealous rail
road friends Of this county, can but agree
with my Virginia friend in thinking it will
be some time yet before the b. Il G. 5. l.. X.
II. crosses our county"
