The Ligonier Valley Railroad, extending from Latrobe, on the Pennsylvania Railroad to Ligonier, a distance of 10.75 miles, has been put in shape for completion. The Pittsburg Chronicle says that a sufficient amount of the stock has been transferred by the officers of the road to Judge Mellon, of that city, to justify him in entering into articles for the completion of the road in six months from September 1. He is to finish the grading, put on the superstructure and rolling stock, and operate it for the stockholders, and also to share in the earnings, as a stockholder, to the extent of four-fifths. The officers of the road are: President, Harvey Baker; Directors, Robert Graham, W. H. Covode, W. A. Bear, A. A. Johnston, W. D. McGowan, Jacob Brenniser and N. M. Marker.
