RAILROAD SURVEY.

We had the pleasure of call on
Thursday last from Capt. w. f..
Randall, chief Engineer employed
in making the survey of the Natchez &
North Western Railroad. The party
have run the line across Deer Creek
and would have reached town ere now
had it not been for the incle1nency of
the weather during the past few days.
Capt. Randall expects to camp in the
vicinity Of town next Wednesday. OF
the feasibility of the construction ofthe
road Captain Randall speaks in the
highest terms and feels confident that
the proposed route will eventually be
the great thoroughfare between Little
Rock and Vidalia.
The route thus far surveyed being
above high water of 1882 givs it a
decided preference over the other two
contemplated - that known as the
Steele Mississippi Valley from Bowie
Arkansas, aud that running by way of
Monroe. (The latter, however, has,
we understand, been abandoned.)
The country from Vidalia to the
Arkansas State line seems specially
adapted for railroad purposes, and Mr..
Randall feels confident that with the
completion of the survey, capitalists
will be glad to invest in the enterprise.
Movements are now on foot, which
we are not at present at liberty to
make public, which will convince
the most skeptical that our "pet pro.
ject will soon be reality, and not
merely railroad con paper."- Eiu,h-
lin ,Stn1.
The TELEGRAPH is not aware, as
stated by the Sun, that tho railroad
surveyed from Alexandria to Pine
Bluff, rio Monroe has been abandoned.
On the contrary, we consider its con-
strnction ultimately assured.

The grain crop in this section was above
the average yield, perhaps better than any
previous year. The corn crop never looked
more promising than at present 1t is not
confined to this New Windsor) district, but
also looks exceedingly well in Franklin dis
trict; so much so as not to escape the notice
of a we'll known constable from Woolery
district, who stopped at one of the best corn
fields while travelling through, and plucked
some ears, which he exhibited at the ADyO-
CATE office last week.
The following guests are boarding at Mr..
J. H. Nicodemus': Mr. and Mrs. G. Eiseman,
two children and nurse; Mr.. and Mrs. H..
Kraus, their two daughters, Misses Harriet
and Blanche and Miss Shefa Grinfelder, all
of whom are from Baltimore.
The photograph car of Richardson d Nc

Miss Alice, daughter of the Rev. Mr.. Chick,

during the past week.
The small grove belonging to Mr.. Thomas
G.. Kelly, near Denning's, has been cleared
of its underground, and will hereafter be used
as park. It is level piece of ground,
beautifully located, and is surrounded by n
substantial fence. 1t has two gateways, one
of which will be used as an entrance and the
other as an exit There is an abundance OF
shade and water, and altogether it is a place
in which any Sunday school would be glad to
spend day of enjoyment st. James, which
is always in the foremost rank, has secured 1t,
and will hold their annual festival and jubilee
on the Sth proximo, commencing at 8 O clock
a. m. A band of music will be present, and
several prominent speakers. People attend
ing are expected to hitch their horses to the
fence, and not to the trees.
Horseback parties seem to be all the talk
here amongst the young folks. 1t is nothing
unusual of an evening to see four or five ladies,
accompanied by the same number of gentle
men, starting off for ride of five or six miles.
Some ladies will start off at break-neck
speed, whilst others, who are of a more
timid nature, will take the snail-like gait.
We notice that the former class is largely in
the majority. The hour for returning is never
named, for it would be useless so long as fair
Luna remains to light them home, and whose
propitious beams always enhance the pleas
ure of a ride We are glad to have only one
accident to note. Mr.. Ed. c.. Carlisle, of
society fame, was thrown from his horse
whilst riding swiftly over stony road, hurting
his face considerably.
Boating is also INDUCED in freely. Ayoung
clerk of this place, who is an expert with oars,
alias hoop-poles, is ever willing and ready to
take the ladies boat ride over the placid
waters of G. w. Devilbiss' mill dam.

Baseball.

On Friday last our First Nine went to Fred
erick and squared themselves against the
Mountain City Club of that place. Both
pitchers were effective up to sixth inning,
Mountain City scoring runs and Westmin-
ster 8. In the last four innings our boys re-
covered from the paralysis into which they
seemed to have been thrown by the back-ac-
ton left-hand pitcher of the Frederick club,
and nearly paralyzed him and the club by
their tremendous batting, making in all p
base hits. Frederick not being able to ap-
preciate Harding curves, succeeded in max
ing only more runs, the score standing 18to
8 in favor of Westminster. Our boys were
kindly received and courteously entertained,
and we hope to see the return game at an
early day.
On Tuesday of this week the Kalakora's of
Uniontown gave our End nine a beat on the
return game, The game was interesting be-
cause closely contested, although too many
runs were made on errors. The score stood
80 to 81. Our boys were BANKED on the 9th
inning, the only goose egg in the game. Mr..
Weaver, the Uniontown scorer, suggested on
the 9th inning that we strike off 10 runs, on
the 7th inning he increased this to 20, but be-
fore finishing 80 was required to make 1t a
good game. This was the first defeat for the
Second Nine. Mr.. B. F. Grouse umpired
both games with entire satisfaction.

the butt of his revolver, stunning and knock
ing him from the wagon; that while on the

and seemed to be loading it again, when wit
ness begged him not to shoot him, and got

once, and driving after Kelly they caught
him and brought him to jail
Kelly, having been sworn, stated that he

of the wagon, and Oursler put his foot on the
money; that witness told him to take his foot
off and give him the money, and Oursler
struck him and knocked him out of the wagon:
that he then struck Oursler with the butt of
the revolver, and in the scuffle that followed
it was accidentally discharged; that he did
not reload it, but, pointing it at Oursler, de-
manded his money; Oursler got into the wagon
and witness followed him and picked up the
money; that he then told Oursler he would
take him to Westminster and have him
rested for trying to steal his money; that with
the pistol in his hand he made Oursler drive
toward the Jail, near which they had scuf1e,
in which the pistol was dropped, and he
jumped out and ran.
Kelly was held for the action of the grand
jury, his father becoming his security, in the
sum of $500.
