Winter has opened upon Us in his best style.

Considerable Local excitement has been pro-
d-ced in our cfy#hy' proposition Tor a new road
at he landings near the lower falls OF the I.nesets
Much =ectiol al feeling ha. been enlisted IN conse-
ouence os tie different interests on the opposite
sides Of the river. Ii you have ever been in 10
chester, and had occasion to vls the Lower Falls,
YOU must have remarked the very inconvenent
seepness OF the descent ON the Eastern side,
which added to the dupidated state Of the rail
road from the city, has rendered Us III fact as mac
cessibe from the Lake as though We were twenty
miles in the interior This road, (connec.ing ,he
river with the railroad, is excavated in the side
OF orecipice some hundred feet in hight 4
pronon,ery in the bank causes bend which adds
materially to the difficulty, and on he whole rem
ders ,he carrageway tedious that luclined planes
have been constructed al very sharp angle, on
which merchandise is hoistsd by means ut cars

pal hotels. In the Of heavy goods tire
shipments necessary between ne lad!a: and
the canal. This has diverted much OF tie Canada
trade TO Oswego and oih,l places on the LnNe
The importance of this commerce az the port vi
Rochester may be gathered from the fact that It's
amoual during the pust yeari- ,>certained TO haze
exceeded million Of dollars. Our eiliz-ns en-
gagged IN this tra4c, as we'll Others the West
era side OF the river, aroused TO the Importance OF
the subject are determined the erection OF q
road on the opposite or Western side. hs
descent this side is only one too, in rod, and
10 obstacle, To be encountered which require a
change Of direction. Tue proposed road will con-
nrc with an excellent McAdau .ed from the
city, extending to the celebrated Ridge Road, and
connecting with all extensive and ferslc backcoun-
Try. But one reshipment OF merchandise will be
necessary from the river to the canal, and traye
lers, u, the distance of from one and a bali to two
miles, will find themselves in the Immediate vic!n-
The estimated cost is net $1,000, as learn
from committee Of the Common Council who
have been appointed to make the required surveys
and estimates. The construction OF this road witi
be an important auxiliary to The Canada trade,
much of which will undoubtedly be diverted 10 his
place from O,wego, Buffalo and me Hclnnd Gu
nal.
