HIGHLY Aforementioned an oyer
Frederick on Saturday last, a wrong buggy
was brought out in answer to an order for
his team, by one Of our citizens. The day
having been exciting as is usually the case at
republican county conventions, the error
was not discovered until he had driven about
six miles; they returned only to find that in
the meantime their buggy had been sent to
Knoxville. The funny part of it is that the
running part OF one buggy is very light and
the other jet black and yet the mistake was
not discovered for long time. The bug
gics were exchanged on Monday without
Inconvenience to any one.
WHOSE LUCK?-The official bulletin issued
hy the Louisiana State Lottery of the month
Iy drawing on the 10th inst, shows that
ticket No. 3d. 50 drew the third capital
prize of $4,000, and that a one-twentieth
part of this ticket was sold in Mlddlctown,
Nd The announcement created considcra-
BILE stir among the ticket holders here who
do not care to conceal the fact that they are
patrons of the lottery, and close eXamlna-
ton was made by each of the number on
their respective tickets, but none OF them
claim to have the winning number, and the
lucky individual still remains incog. About
year ago, it will be remembered, similar
sum of $4,000 was drawn by one Of the
tickets held by club of young men IN this
place, and was DIVIDED between them Val
ley Register.
MORE RAILROAD TALK.-A number OF
Northern capitalists are now prospecting in
the upper part of Middletown Valley with
the view of uilding railroad from Edge
mont. on the METROPOLITAN b ranch of the B.
& o. r. r., south to Adamstown. The pro.
posed route will follow the slope of the
mountain down to or near Wolfsville, pass
ing "Black Rock where it is said much
rander and more extended view can be had
han at Pen Mar. "Black Rock" is about
4 two miles distant from Wolfsville. From
this point the line will proceed down tho
famous Middletown Valley, taking in the
towns of Ellerton, Myersvlllc, Middletowr
and Jefferson, near which place it will cross
the mountain at one of the low points ant
proceed in southerly direction to the Met
ropolitan Bran Oh of the b. a. O. II. H., neal
or at Washington Junction. Their idea il
to establish mountain resort, at BlacR
Rock, which they think would far surpas'
Pen Mar. The railroad would also be al
additional outlet for the peach growers o
that section, besides supplying the citizens
of the valley with long needed RAILROAD
facilities.
