CHESHIRE ROAD.

We publish the Annual Report Of the
Directors Of the Cheshire Railroad Com
pany, for the benefit of our many readers
who may not otherwise see the pamphlet.
1t will be seen that the prospects of the
road are fattering, and we have no doubt
the road will be pushed forward to COM
pletion with all energy.
The road, must of necessity prove to
be one of the very best in New England.
In the first place it is built TINS far in a
more thorough and substantial manner
than any other road in New England
No other road leading to the point of con-
nection, at Bellows Falls, with the great
Northern and Western lines now build
in and projected, can ever be built to
compete with it. At Bellows Falls it con-
meets with the Rutland and Burlington
road presenting the shortest distance from
Baston to Burlington, Canada and the
Western Lakes, by more than twenty
miles. 1t also connects there with the
Sullivan, Central and Passumsic roads,
giving a route equally favorable to that of
the Northern road for the whole upper
Connecticut river and Vermont business
and travel, and much more agreeable as
travelled route 1t will undoubtedly d.
vide with the Northern road the business
of both the Central and Passumsic Roads
while it will have exclusively the business
of the Rutland. With the prospects. no
one can doubt for moment that the
Cheshire Road will ever stand as one of
the best and most permanently valuable
roads, for investment, in New England

HARLEM RAILRoAD.-Considerable guam
titles of the basket willow, prepared for
the New York market begin to come
down the Harlem railway. 1t is produc-
ed in Westchesier county, and its produc-
ton is becoming regular business. The
road is now open 55 miles, at the depot
in Centre street rare sight is daily pre-
scented. All the varied products of the
country into which the road extends, are
brought down in great abundance, and
the road is in proportion to its extent
doing for New York what the Western
road does for Boston. The direction of
the road has been CHI ange, and the board
is now composed of business men, under
whose charge the road must increase its
profits to its owners, and in its advantages
to the city and adjoining country.
OGDENsBURG RAILRoAD.-at a meet
ing Of the Northern Railroad Corpora
ton, at Concord, N. H., Mr.. Russell
stated some facts in relation to the Og-
densburg Railroad, and suggested the
of raising $4,000 subscription
10 its stock from among the country stock
holders of the Northern Railroad. There
was much interest manifested in the SUBJ
ject by several gentlemen, and considera-
Bile stock, we understand, was taken, pre-
vious to the leaving ofthe afternoon train
of cars for Boston.-Boston Courier.
