Itailroail Notes,
The latest rumor throughout railroad
circles is the probable abandonment oi :
the Clarion branch of the Pittsburg and
Western, Northern division. This
branch extends from the Clarion river
in Clarion county, up to the conuty
seat. Clarion town
Kailroad officials have given out the
intimation that this branch, which has
done service for nearly 25 years, is to
be entirely done away with.
They claim the present rate of travel
will not justify the remodeling and re
pairing of this {Kirtion of the road. So
this may leave Clarion virtually with
out a railroad. The nearest point for
the town hereafter would then lie Pike
Bridge, three miles distant. The resi
dents of the town, it is said, will vigor
ously oppose this rumored abandon
ment.
Dr. Matheson
Dr. Matheson began practicing medi
cine in this county in 1851 and has been
in constant practice since. He is now
fitting up a room at Christie's Hotel—the
old Shreiber House,--wherehe will treat
chronic diseases of male and females.
