The directors of the Lee and New Haven Rail.
road have electel C. O. Perkins of Becket, presi
dent ; and Albat [lull, of New Boston, vice-presi•
dent.

The stockholders of the Vermont and Alas,,a-
chusetts Railroad Company, at a meeting in Boston
on Saturday, Sept. 19, authorised the directors to,
obtain a lease, limited, or perpetual of the Turner's
Falls Branch Railroad Company's rights and pro-
perty and to proceed with the building of that road,
if necessary, borrowing money for the purpose.
George E. Towne of Fitchburg attempted to get
through a resolution authorizing the directors to
take $15,000 of the Mansfield and Framingham
Railroad stock. But even the sum was reduced to
to,ooa, the resolution was lost, the vote standing
yeas 936, nays 1,302.

It is stated that Mr. C. J. Brydges, of the Grand
Trunk Road of Canada, has been appointed Inter-
colonial Railway Commissioner for the Province of
Quebec ; Mr. A. Walsh, M.P. for Norfolk, for
Ontario ; and the Hon. E. B. Chandler, a member
of the Local Legislature, for New Brunswick. The
appointment for Nova Scotia is not yet announced.
In addition to the Hudson River Railroad, the
Harlem Railroad track is being replaced by steel
rails. The Hudson River road now use these as
far up as Cold Spring, and soon will have them on
the entire track. The Philadelphia and Reading
Railroad Company are relaying the curves of their
road where the heaviest wear and tear occurs with
steel rails. The rails are imported from Man-
chester, England.

The Danville, Hazleton, and Wilkesbarre Rail-
road is being pushed forward. Many workmen are
employed on its whole length. The road will com-
plete the chain of railroad reaching from New York
to Chicago, about 67 miles nearer than the Allen-
town route. Its connections will be with the
Philadelphia and Erie at Sunbury, Pennsylvania,
and the Lehigh Valley at Hazleton. At the same
time it will develope the Lehigh coal field along the
Black Creek, known as the Buck Mountain Coal
Field, about 16 miles of which, lying on the western
and northern side of the Lehigh Coal Basin, will
be brought into market.
In 1830 there were 41 miles of railroad track
completed in the United States. In 1810 the number
had increased to 2,147 miles, in 1850 to 7,478 miles,
and in 1860 to 28,771 miles. From 1860 to 1865
a period more favourable to the destruction than the
construction of railroads 6,000 additional miles of track.
were built. It is estimated that by the end of 1870
there will be 5J,000 miles of track in ruining order,
that at the end of this year 40,000 miles will be
completed, or ono mile for every 900 men, women,
and children. The aggregate cost of these 40,000 miles
built, and to be completed within the year, is estimated
at $1,800,000,000, or at an average of $45,000 per mile. By
way of comparison it is fAated that the cost of the 13,289
miles of railroad in Great Britain at the close of 1865 was
no less than .£156,420,000, a sum half as large as the debt
of that kingdom, and a full third larger than the cost of
our own roads having a three-fold length.
