was instituted. The neighborhood

over an abominable piece Of road
through the Rich Woods the wagon
upset and rolled over four times,
taking team, driver and everything
with it. The wagon was considera-
bly, broken up but, strangely enough,
the horses we're not hurt. They lay
there until the harness was cut away
and then they were taken out all
right. The hay is still there.

Last Saturday a party Of Pitts
burg gentlemen composed Of Col.
A. G. HAIRY, Maj. Thos. Hackett,
Col. G. Schleiter and Civil Engineer
Jonathan Barrett, in company with
Hon. George G. Sturgiss, George w.
johnson Esq, and Hon. J. Marshall
Hagans, of this place, made thor
ough examination of the surveys
and location Of the route selected a
few years ago for the Iron Valley Il
Morgantown railroad from here over
into Preston county. They inspec-
ted also the timber, coal, building
stone, fire-clay, limestone and the
general resources of the country
through which the survey passes,
and declared themselves fully salts
fed with its natural wealth and
promise.
These gentlemen have in view the
building of railroad from the Penn
sylvania line up the Monongahela
river on either the east or west side }
to Morgantown and thence up Deck
er's creek through Preston county to
unite with the b. Il o. near New
burg.
The Iron Valley and Morgantown
railroad company will be re-organ-
lied with new name, and the work
pushed right through if the owners
Of lands along the route will be rea-
'sonably liberal in granting rights Of
way. New surveys and preliminary
work will begin at once.
These gentlemen represent an
abundance of capital, energy and
business enterprise and they know
what they are doing We feel fully
assured that they mean exactly
what they say and that if the proper
encouragement is given by the coun-
try through which the route passes
the road will be built. Any man
who will unnecessarily impede the
building of the road is an enemy to
the bushes and financial interests of
his country.
