The F. g. M. Railroad.

The Frederick and Middletown Rail-
road Company have made an esti-
mate of the amount of rails that will
be needed for their road and find that
from Middletown to the end of Pat
rick street, this city, it requires about
700 tons, and an order has been sent
for that amount. The grading, which
has been delayed on account of bad
weather, is nearly completed ON the
Frederick side of Catoctin Mountain,
and work will be resumed as soon as
the ground is in fit condition to work
The managers are very undecided as
to what kind of motive power to use.
AS an electric road can be operated SO
much more cheaply than a steam road,
it is likely that it will be operated by
electricity.

Two sharpers have been travelling in
York County, Pa, among the farmers,
peddling dry goods put up in whole
sale packages. They claim the goods
to haye been sent here by an English
manufacturing firm to be sold at the

to dispose of them there, they could
afford to sell at great sacrifice rather
than pay the freight on them back to

the easiest manner of disposing OF
them and that they were employed
for that purpose. They are sold at
any price, either for cash or notes. and
