4 New STREET NAMED After n consul
,ation among those most interested in the
avenue lately laid out in our town, the very
appropriate name Altamont Avenue has been
selected. Assuming that we arc mountain
town, and that We aSsurrdiy are for we
simply SIT upon the foothills of Catoctin
Spur, no more suggestive name could he
imagined for the new street will mount upon
the highest land likely to be made available
for town lots

Observation-Disclosures descending Paync's

ing Of the harness gave away and the mare
that they were driving started to run. Mr.
Cramer had succeeded in checking her, when
the bit broke and She rar vicously, The

Little Owens creek, just at the foot Of the
hill and to enter the fprdng requires a sharp
turn to the left at the bank of the stream
which is hugh and guarded by timbers and
stones at this point. The animal, fortunately,
left the road entirely tuning to the right,
rushed through swamp and into the creek,
leaping upon the bank on the south side :
when the wheels struck the bank the buggy
stopped, but the mare aud the occupants of

WHAT WILL COME OF Ir.-Thc extension
of the Nj. V. II. II. is in our judgment GER
tanty: that, when completed to Frederick
and yellow Springs, Il further extension will
be made to connect with the b. e. o., likely
at Point of Rocks Junction, we almost rs
firmly believe. This means Il through and
direct line to Washington from Mechanics
a distance of but eighteen miles, over ten
miles of which a preliminary survey has been
made by the Emmitsburg people and with
the road Though to Washington from this
point, we have little doubt. none IN fact, that
the break between this place and Gettysburg
would be rapidly closed, giving the much
talked-of direct line between the nations
capital and the word-mmed battle field Of
Gettysburg.
We are not given to being oyer-sanguinc,
but the consummation of the project outlined
aboyc we belieye to be probable Once let
work begin on the M. " e. f. r. r. and its
completion no longer matter of conbt and
unless we misiudge the weight of the inter
csts concerned, the movement for completion
of the northern link will at once begin and
allowing that either the northern or southern
link is once under construction the other IS
bound to follow. IT Gettysburg and Emmits
burg want the benefit of such road we be-
levc they have only to prove the sincerity of
their desire by going to work on their end Of
the route, TO be followed at once 10y the clos
