FAlRMONT FLASHES.
A Sudden LuII Follows the Big Boom
In Railroads.

Special to the Register.
F,n MONT, March 3.-Railrosd news is
very scarce here at present, and it seems
that those who sre Interested III the differ
ent railroads are very tsciturn pertaining
to the developments Of either road, al.
though we were enabled to get spark OF
light on the subj CT this morning from one
who is interested in the Baltimore &
Ohio soul and body. He said that the
Fairmont, Morgantown & Pittsburgh would
be built was a settled fact; that they were
now waiting. en- the action OF the West
Virginia & Pennsy sylvanis; that the latter
had not yet concluded all Of its financial
transactions The west Virginia and
Pennsylvania has many advantages over
the Fairmont, Morgaptown e Pittsburgh,
by having the route on this side OF the
river. Should the former conclude not to
build their road then the Fairmont,
MorgantoNn & Pittsburgh will
build on this side of the river
which would save them grestexpense, he
also said that the B 4 o. had expended
over SIC, 600 in Mouongahelis county alone.
From what we can learn thsIe is no doubt
but what both roads will be built and that
in the near future. They have all comfort
ed themselves TO the motto silent worker
is better than a noisy talker. II wishes or
the aid OF journals could build the roads
there would not be. a single doubt, but
what both roads would BE built within six
months. Let us have railroads "ior
thing OF beauty is JOY forever"
The concert given at the NJ. P. church on
last Thursday evening was one of the best
ever gwen in this town. Every member
on the programme performed admirably.
A large audience was present. After the
concert those present a. fjourned to the
basement, where refreshments were ssrvei.
The concert was so fayorably received that
it was repeated last evening with greater
success. Those who taied to attend were
indeed deprived of a great pleasure. We
sincerely hope that those who we're inter.
ested in the affair will in the near future
agaBin tender their perfoI oImance to the Cit
liens Of this place.
Msny students have arrived at the Normal

and gentlemen are c)ming TO instruct
themselves that they may be better quail
ifed to teach the young minds Of onr great
commonwealth, the way OF truth and
light, Il at they might not be in darkness as
those generations which have passed into
eternity. These teachers have for the last
four months contended with the trials
which generally attend . teacher aud have
worried because thep did not possess the
wisdom Of Solomon, the patience OF job,
the meekness Of Moses, and the el1q1ence
OF Demosthenes, which one is required to
possess in order to be successful teacher.
The spring term promises to be a very
successful one, as the attendance is very
large ut present, and students are coming
every day, as the different schools close for
the year
