! Westminster is but inst entering upon a
career of prosperity, that, if it could be real
/ lied by her citizens of to-day, would fill them
I with wonder as great as that which would
astouish her citizens of fifty years ago, if they
4 were here now, to see her present proportions.
/ The people of that day, in their widest day
/ dreams. did not foresee her present wealth
I and importance. Nor can we, of the present.
/ forecast the future of this thriving town. He
! is wisest and most president who looks upon
/ her advancement in a three-fold proportion.
In the first place, our city IS located in a
/ healthy region. This, all admit, and she will
be sought, more and more, on this account,
as her reputation and population extend.
Secondly, Westminster is surrounded by
productive and populous region which will
continue to increase. both in produetiveness
and population, and the town must necessa-
rily increase with IT.
She now has one railroad, and probability
of another. which will bring her into close
connection with two Of the principal cities of
the country. and the wealth and population
Of those cities must react upon her, increasing
her wealth, population and business impor-
lance. stimulating every branch of her trade.
Now is the time TO take advantage OF the
prospects and possibilities which spread out
before this entire community and promise a
golden harvest in the future 70 those who
have the sagacity to look ahead little into
the near future, aud profit by their forecast.
At no time within her history has West
minister enjoyed what IS known as boom.
Her growth has been slow but steady. Each
movement she has made has been onward
aud upward, until now she is entitled 10 take
rank in the forefront OF Maryland towns.
She is to- day one of the handsomest, health
est, and most desirable places Of residence
within the confines Of the State Every
facility for comfort and enjoyment offered by
the largest cities is possessed by her, with
very few If any Of their drawbacks AT the
present time seven large buildings are being
erected. and number Of minor improve
meuts are in progress Next spring there is
a prospect that the number Of new buildings
viii be greatly increased, aad if the contem-
plated railroad connection with Washington
should be made, We may confidently look 20
an advance in property, and rate Of progress
hitherto uusttaiued.
Westminster, rs the cOunty seat Of the
wealthy aud pOpulons county OF Carroll, pos.
sessing population OF $4,000, remarkable
for their energy, industry aud frugality, pos
sesses advantages which are enjoyed by lev
other towns Of the state. Beautiful and
diversified scenery, pure water, heyiihy and
invigoTatiug atmosphere, ample educational
facilities, fine churches, telephone, telegraph,
and railroad advantages, aud last, but not
least, sober, industrious, and moral popn-
lation. who practice all the amenities Of lite.
All these advantages are enjoyed by West.
minister, and the town Is growing into greater
importance day by day.

He was on the west bound track picking up
coal, and seeing an approaching treigh TRAN

was instantly struck by train going east.
Both legs and both arms were cut of, and
the back of his head was crushed in. he

The deceased formerly owned farm in Fred

Gettysburg and Washington Railroad is to be
run by that dull. sleepy town; that the new
road is to use the track of the Frederick and
Pennsylvania Line road, that surveys are to
be made here, there and everywhere, &c.
