Baltimore and Ohio Railroad.

The Cumberland Civilian of Friday says:— “The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad west of this place is progressing as well as could be expected at this season of the year. Now and then a snow storm comes and stops the work for a day or so. But the snow stays not long, and the never-failing effort that is always made in such cases to regain lost time in a little time brings all up square again. The work is pushed on with great energy.

Covington and Lexington Railroad.

The Cincinnati Gazette is urging the Cincinnatians to subcribe to the stock in the proposed railway from Covington to Lexington. The Gazette states that stock to the amount of three hundred thousand dollars has been taken in Covington and the neighborhood. In addition to this sum, the friends of the project expect to procure subscriptions to the amount of two hundred thousand dollars in the counties through which the road, when completed, will pass.
