RAILROAD ITEMS.

CENTRAL RoAD.-We visited Middesex on Sat-
urday and find that the grading there has progress
ed grandly. The Burlington Free Press SAYS:
CENTRAL RALRoAp.-The contractors on the
Central Road have taken position along the line
between this aud Mortified, and are filling up their
gangs as fast as men can be obtained. Mr.. Bel
KNAPP it will be observed, adverises for thousand
additional hands, between Mortified and Windsor

this demand, and enable the Company to prosecute
their work with all desirable rapidly The opera

RUTLAND RoAD.-The idea of changing the
destination from Rutland and Connecticut river, to
?ltsfield, meets with great favor at Montpelier
Keene Sentinel.
Fiddle-de-deel
~ Since we have argued that, by an adyan-
tage both in grades ami distance, New-York will
take more business from the Western Vermont
RAILROAD than will Boston, the Voice of Freedom
infers that the Rutland road in its shorter distance
has the advantage of the Central. That does not
follow. The Rutland should have the advantage
in both grades and distance to warrant this infer
e ice: whereas the fact is, that the difference in
radc in favor of the Central road very far over
Alances the difference in distance.

their vote about LOCO. The license question was

still to elect which last year sent 10 Locos; and
twenty-five Wing towns which last year sent 80

last year. the House will stand 100 Locos and II

close probably with small majority of Locos
so as to elect Locofoco State officers against the
