probably be made until next week. much to the
ANNOYANCE of those who are waiting for their
funds The order for the payment was received

mouth of Clarion, thence up that stream to It's
source thence across the table land or summit
between the sources of the Clarion and those OF
the Allegheny itself-which singularly enough
here flow in opposite observation-disclosures down
the latter to Olean or near it, where 1t would
unite with the great road to New-York. This
! would open communication between Western
| Pennsylvania and Western New-York, most
desirable contamination. Some are In favor of
adopting the old Sunbury and Erie survey, at the
| nh Clarion tOOWInO
| it eastward to the Williamsport and Elmira Rail
road reaching the New.York and Erie Road at
the latter place. These questions of routes will
be settled hereafter, and we think it would be
premature to discuss them now. We will say
| one thing, however, If we desire the aid OF the
friends Of the New.York and Erie Road, we must
aim for Oleani but if the people along the other
route can dispense with that aid, then it will be
only question OF distance, grade, &c

dused in the Pennsy lvania Senate. 1t has passed
