   The railroad {The Washington County RR} is now nearly completed to Brenham. The Ranger expects the cars to make regular trips by the end of another week, and says:
   Preparations are making for  a grand ball to come off at this place so soon as the passenger cars commence their regular trips. Ladies, far and near, may expect to be ticketed. A free ride is also expected between this and Galveston.
