A SwINDLER-Thcrc lives somewhere in
the mountains several miles west OF this
place a mulatto by the name Of Aaron Gala
man 1t has come 10 our knowledge that
this replobatc has imposed himself upon sev

home, as we learn, in Taneytown and Liber-
ty, AS the Reo Mr.. Calaman; that he has sue
cccdcd in gathering together not inconsid-
cradle quantity of provisions of different
kinds and that he has taken these goods and
probably others besides to Hagerstown and
offered them for sale.

Is easily proven that he is nothing short of
a common swmdlcr.

PRoGREssINa.-Nea halfmile Of the
road bed of the NJ v r. r.. is now COM
p!etcd through the lands Of j. B. Gilbert.
N. Wihidc, and w. T. Grimes.
The Right Of Way has been settled and
secured through the following properties,
not heretofore rep,rtcd Henry Boiler, $15;
John Smith, $15; William l.. Firor $50; y.
S. Firor, $500.
Applications for stock are being made, the
applicants evidently locking upon it as be-
inc promising investment.
1t is the desire of the company to com.
pcte the road in the shortest possible time
as the Catoctin Iron Co.'S furnaces will go
into blast as soon as they conclude the con-
siderable repairs being made and the ton
mage derived from that source is immense.
Should there be no further delay in the
matter of securing the right of way and the
weather be not too unfavorablc the road
will be in running order over one half the
line by the first of May the remainder oftle
work, at the southern end of the line, vii. be
much more easily aud rapidly dealt with.
