NORTHAMPTON AND GREENFIELD RAILROAD
A Convention of Delegates favorable to this con
templated road was held at Greenfield on the 22d
ut. 1t was very spirited meeting. Hon. Geo.
Greene presided. A committee of three from
each town in West Franklin, and three from
Northampton and Hatfield, to procure subscnp-
tions to the capital stock Of the contemplated
road-to assist in procuring a charter-to ascer
tain the amount of freight that will annually pass
over the road, &c. Several resolutions were
adopted which show that they mean to act, and
that the road will be built. There is now SUBJ
scrlbed before charter is obtained 800 in
Greenfield and Sl6,500 in Deerfeld. We have
no doubt that this road and the Northampton
road will be built-they will be very useful to the
merchants of our city. Hartford Journal.
