We know of no means by which
with 50 small an outlay comparatively

ness left to Whitehall, and bring back
that which has been taken from her by
The modern improvements Of the past
few years, as the successful carrying
on, of this project. Others also, both
at The Southern terminus and on the
line Of this road, to say nothing of the
towns below, have u deep and abiding
interest in its success. Granville alone,
notwithstanding her close proximity to
the canal, the Washington and Saratoga

could well afford 10 build this road,
running as it will transver<ly through
her broad domain, and giving as it must
a new impulse to her already thriving
and prosperous agricultural, mechan-
cal and manufacturing interests. And
holding as we do, these opinions, we
have no doubt of the immediate rtyor-
aus prosecution Of this work, nor Of its
ultimate successful completion.
