that they have received letter from
perfectly reliable source, which says:

A large amount of private subscrip-

these in connection with county aud
town subscriptions, wo have no doubt,
with assistance like that spoken ot above,
will be amply sufficient to construct tho

menced, that it will not be completed.
In this connection wo may say that
they have already commenced putting on
the iron this side Of Mansfield and the
President Of the company is making ar
