The Middlctown Valley people can secure
rs direct communication with the markets
and with the soft coal district by coming to
the NJ. Y. at Yellow Springs as by going To
Berlin: for hard coal they eau not go to
Berlin under anything like rs tayo,ab'c con
dtions. They really want RAILROAD commu-
nicat;on with the county town and for that
matter with the entire county these they
secure by coming over to the NJ. V. extern
SION We sincerely hope that they may do
so and we are sincere in our claim that, MI
things considered, it would be to their advan-
tagc to do so.
A New STREET NAMED After consul
tation 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 are mountain
town, and that we assurrdly are for we
simply 81, upon the foothills of Catoctin
| Spur, no more suggestive name could be
imagined, for the new street will mount upon
the highest land likely to be made available
for town lots.
Mrs. II II Johnson and Mr.. JAS Crccgcr
have decided the requisite amount OF land to
the town and there will he for sale on this
avenue, sites commanding panoramic view
euuallcd by few localities III the state.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS descending Paync's
hill on the +. & f turnpike on last Friday
evening Mr.. and Mrs. NJ. G. Cramcr under
went u dangerous experience. The brcech-
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 vlciousy. The
late food had destroyed the bridge over
Little Owens creek, just at the foot of the
hill and to enter the fording requires sharp
turn to the left at the bank of the stream
which is high and guarded by timhers and
stones at this point. The animal, fortunately
left the road entirely, tuning to the right
rushed through swamp ahd into the creek
leaping upon the bank on the south side
when the wheels struck the bank the buggy
stopped bu, the mare and the occupants of
the buggy did not Mr.. and Mrs. G. were
thrown out into bushes and mud and the
mare also tell and could not rise.
Nobody was hurt nor was the phacton
badly broken excepting the front wheels.
WHAT WILL COME OF Ir.--Thc extension
of the Nj. V. II. II. is in our judgment Ger
ta,nty: that, when completed to Frederick
and yellow Springs, Il further extension will
be made to connect with the b. 81 o., likely
at Point of Rocks Junction, we almost as
firmly believe This means through and
direct line to Washington from Mechanics
town; between this point and Gettysburg is
a distance of but eighteen miles, over ten
miles of which preliminary survey has beer
made by the Emmitsburg people aud will
the road Though to Washington from this
point, we have little doubt, none IN fact, thai
the break between this place and Gettysburg
would be rapidly closed, giving the much
talked of direct hne between the nations
capital and the world famed battle field o
Gettysburg.
We are not given to being oyer-sanguinc
but the contamination of the project outlined
aboyc we belieye to be probable. Once lc
work begin on the M. V. e. F. II. r. and its
completion no longer matter of coubt ant
unless we misudgG the weight of the inter
ests concerned, the movement for completion
of the northern link will at once begin ant
allowing that either the northern or southern
link is once under construction, the other II
bound to follow. If Gettysburg and Emmits
burg want the benefit of such a road, we be
lievc they have only to prove the sincerity o
their desire by going to work on their end o
+ the route, TO be followed at once by the clos
ing of the gap hrtw en- Yellow Springs an'
Point rt Rocks Junction
