18 FRIDAY dN UNLUCKY . DAY
=='F!w=ederated people pat any faith in
the popular superstition which has oh:
tained among the ignorant and unlearned,
from time immethorial, that "Friday is an
unlucky day." Yet we have heard per
ions say "it is unfortunate that the great
asemblios consummated their union on
Friday."
We are well assured flint, notwithstand
ing,-this superstitious prejudice doss not
,prevail so uniiersally - niiit - did in days
gone by, there are many good meaning and
excellent people who feel reluctant to un
dertake a work of great moment or ink=

marked as inauspicious in the caleinlar.

the fearful rocking of the frail bark, have
a "holy horror "of setting out on a voy

It is seldom that a 'tidy or gentleman
walks to tits hymenial altar on Fri
day. Many would look upon it as an
omen that forboded much iltif the banns
were celebrated 'on what is sometimes
called the "hangman's day."
Few of our readersi,we think, indulge in
any such Jeoling. There is no reason
why any should. The facts will not war.
rant the assumption that Friday bi a day
of ill omen.
It was on Friday that Christopher Colum
bus set sail on his great voyage of discov
ery ; on Friday lie first discovered land,
and it was on the same day of the week
that ho sailed on his return voyage to
Spain, where he arrived in safety, also on
Friday.
Other important events in the history
of the United States transpired on Frid
day. It was on Filday November 10,
1020; that the.Mayflowor, freighted with
her precious cargo of Puritans, reached
tho harbor of Provineetown. On tho same
day those noble pioneers of Christian civ
ilization signed, in. the prosmice of go
and ono another, the first constitution
that was framedwithin the United States.
"This" says Bancroft, "was -the con
stitutionalliberty. In the cabin of, the
Mayflower humanity recovered its rights
and instituted goverment on the basis of
equal rights for the general good. As the
Pilgrims landed, their institutions were
already perfected. Democratic liberty and
independent Christian worship at once
existed in Inierreah . .
It was on Fridakthat henry VII, of
England gaVe John Cabothis commission
to proceed on a voyage of discovery to the
North American .continent. •
Saint Augustine, in Florida, Hui oldest
town in thilinited States, was founded
by.. Melendes on Friday, September. 7,

' George Washington was born on Friday.
Bunker 11111 was seized, Saratoga and
Yorktown wore surrendered on Friday.,
On the same day of the week;thetreack

'Ryas on Friday • that John Adams
moved and Richard Henry Leo seconded
a resolution in Congress that thicUnited
Colonies wore, and of right ought to be,

remarkable coincidence that on the two

To the StockhoWers.—We havo great
reason to congratulate you that your road
and iatorests have gritlitly imilroved ,du
ring,the past year; nd that the pnispects
of Useffilpess to the community, and profit
to you are now brighter than ever. , The:
march of progress in onteririee
in
dustry which now stimulates the energies
of Men, has produced its influence and
brought into
_requisition the facilities
which your road affords. We continually
receive manifestations of appreciation of
the community of the facilities which the
road affords, by, giving employmentto a
htrie elites of men, and affording busi
ness to, another class whose enterprise
and businOss habits aro not only profita
ble to them, but of great importance. to
the 'community. Such men and their,
business NO look upon with interest,
seek to promoto it -by all legitimate
means. But like- all other corporations,
we have been subjected to the angry pas
sions of others, who resort to suits at
law to heal their sepposed wrongs. 'We
have reason' to congratulate ourselves
and, you, that such litigation has now
boon all brought-to an end, , th the entire
satisfaction of the conipany,whose ac
tion has not only been sustained, but has
been - commended by the Supreme Cdurt.
Our policy, which wo havo always been
careful to keep.within our chartered lim
its, and to make subservient to public in
terests, has been , steadily and perseve
ringly carried out, and will be,luntil the
road shall work its - greatest good to the
community and -greatest profit to the
stockholders.
Iu our last annual report yoU were ad

of two hundred ,thousand dollars to aid

advanced and paid, and perfectly secured;
the road has been fully completed, an
p_reparations have been made by

_road; we have every reason to believe
that this will prove to be a mosc_pr.ofita

The largo increase in the manufacture
of iron, and the consequent demand for
iron ore has served to develop. Iranianse .

not only ong the base •of the South
Mountain, , ut in the valley, and in the
North Mountain. Hence there is being
.surveyed and located a road from Chain
bersburg to Mont Altb, 'a distance of
about 12 miles, which roaches a deposit
of hematite ore, which in quality is ex

built during the coming-year. , .•

road, end promote the interest of the
people of the entire valley. The resolu

of the Boiird to extend their road
from Hagerstown to the Chesapeake and
Ohio Canal, have been already communi

work Was let to a contractor upon terms
which wove satisfactory, and ho is now

superstructure will cost about $96,000,
and the rails, ties, 'water stations, &e.,
about $90,000, and we expect to have the
same completed and in running order by
the first July next.
,This extension has
been located to terminate at Powell's
Bend of the Potomac river, with a branch
to Williansport, a distance of about two
'miles. Bfit since this location, a move
