noticed again and it was fourteen degrees

to twelve below. making in fifty minutes
a warming change of lO0, Or one degree
for every five minutes. The thermome-
ter was on north side of house, and there
was no sunshine or reflected rays from old
solar upon it. In the summer time, or
during stormy months, the change would
not have seemed so remarkable, but oc-
curing as it did when sudden climatic
changes are not to be expected, goes to
prove that Old Sol can warm things gen

LOCAL RAILROAD NOTES.-The Pitts
burgh Penny Press has the following
to say about the long talked of rail
road from Waynesburg to Blacksmith,
this county, and from there to Morgan
town:
DIR. d. w. Braden, of Waynesburg,
one of the principal owners of the
Waynesburg and Washington Rail
road, was in the city to-day. He
says the w. Il w. is for sale at fair
price, but not at sacrifice. The
stock and bonds of the road are all
in the hands of friendly parties, who
are content to carry them until a ia
vorable opportunity comes to sell.
The B. Il o. and the Pennsylvania
Company have both been watching
the road for some time, but on the
authority of Mr.. Braden the company
is small but not weak. The earnings
Of the road for this year show an in
crease over last years figures, and the
road is gradually being put in better
order. A movement is on foot to
make an extension south to Blacks
Vile, and thence to Morgantown. in
West Virginia. The route has been
surveyed as far as Blacksmith, and
considerable stock subscribed.
