THE RAIL ROAD.

i Since the rejection, by the Massachusetts Leg

little has been said and less done to carry forward
the grand project of opening a road from Burling.

purpose to do this, by the way of Bellows Falls
and Keene if possible, or by the way of the Brat.
'ieboro road is by no means reinquished and it
Will not be relinqushed, until the object is accom-
pIished The period is not distant when the iron
horse shall be seen speeding his way among our
green hills and along our fertile valleys. in his
rapid course between Boston and Burlington
But this is great work it must necessarily
require the expenditure ola large amount of capital
and 1t will make large demand upon the native
enterprise and energy of Vermont-yel the work
can be done, and done too, in a reasonable short
period. The time is favorable, and the money
market is easy and capital is seeking investment
And NOW is emphatcally the time to take hold of
this great work in earnest
Among the first things to be done, is to make
an accurate survey Of the whole route within this
State, both in the direction Of Bellows Falls and
Brallleboro'-minute and detailed estimates of the
cost CT building should be made at the same time
together with accurate drawings of the line Such
survey will develope the facts which are TO fur.
nlsh the evidence of pracbiity of what the friends
OF the route propose to do-whiIe no evidence
short of this will be deemed as sufficient by the
public generally, however, we may regard the
facts No unnecessary delay then, should hinder
us in the accomplishment of the first step. Some
$1,000 VIII be required 10 make this suryey-and
1t is supposed and with reasons, that their expendi
'ure VIII be refunded by the rail road companv
when The same shall be organized as il will save
an equal expenditure TO the company. Blu, as the
company cannot yet be organized the funds for
TINS purpose must be raised by subscription IN an.
uclpalion oil such future organization, and II is be.
l'eved that this will be readily done all who take
an interest in the important work.
IL !. deemed desirable that this survey sbould he
made before the session of the New Hamnb;,e
Legislature in June, that the friends of the Koene
may be able 10 avail themselves of the facts tur-
nisncd by the survey. A competent engineer can
be had 10 take this work in hand as soon a. a.
