C~hamplain, is progressing rapidly Tn
road is graded to Waltham, and tn
rails are laid to within IA half a mile ,
the Massasoit House, ten miles out {
Boston, and will be finished 10 that poir
this week. From " altman throug
Concord to Groton, thirty-two miles fror
Boston nearly two-thirds of The gradin:
is completed aud the road-bed will b

fore the opening Of spr ng. Four thou
sand tons of rails, in addition to 6v,
hundred previously ordered, and suffi
cient to reach %Fitchburg, have been pur
chased in England by Messrs. Derby
s. Crocker, at a very low figure, ant
since advanced in value about SO pei
ton; Il large portion has been paid fol
and has either arrived OF is on its way.
The capital subscribed thus far is
$4,000 OF which about 100000 has
been actually paid in, much Of it in adj
vance Of assessments. The Depot ac-
c~ommodations extend from the Nashua
depot on Warren bridge to Prison Point
bridge embracing about 1000 feet OF
water front and nearly twenty acres of
land, and the passenger and freight de-
pots will be nearer the centre of bust
ness in Boston than the Boston and
Providence railroad depot. The ac-
commodation for business will be great
er than that OF any line entering the city,
and has been secured at u low price.
The Company have departed from the
practice OF other lines out of the city in
three particulars; they have taken five
rods "a generous width) for the line to
avoid future expenses in widening; they
are putting in three hundred extra sleep
ers each mile. to give greater security
and permanent fence, instead Of leaving
1t to be neglected by the farmers.
The contracts which extend 10 Fitch
burg 48 miles are very low, viz. IL
cents per cubic yard Of earth and loose
rock, including the expense of moving
he materials, and are below estimates.
