RAILROAD TO GREEN SrRINo.-On
Saturday last. the lst instant, the South
Branch Railroad Company. anil our
County Court were respectively conven-
ed to ascertain and consider the promo.
sitions of tho Baltimore & Ohio Railroad

Railroad between Green Spring Station
and Romney, sixteen miles. The terms

expensive Improvement which, in its
present condition. proves so detrimental

progress OF the county. The acceptance
of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroads. pro.
positions was earnestly and strongly adj
vocaled by Judge ARMSTRONG, and
Messrs FLoURNoY, Il. w. DALEY. DR.,
MONROE. and KERcHEvAL respectively,

dertaking in the same just and liberal
spirit and good faith in which the pro-
position were accepted by the county,
that Corporation will stand before our
people and State in an attitude of had

that the l'reliininaries now satisfactorily
adjusted have settled the question Of the
early completion of our ROAD, and that.
