The prospects Of the road considered quite en-
couragiDg The Greenfield branch has been completed
at cos. much less than the estm ates and the carp
are now running regularly over It, The Vermont VAL
ley road will be fnisbed In June next, thus forming
connection with the Rutla nd and Burlington and Sui
Ivan roads at Bellows Falls and furnishing unin-
terrupted Communication with Northern New York
Canada and Northern Hampshire. From these sources
Q very considerable augmentation of business Is ex-
pected The directors believe also that the extension
of the line to Troy which will bring Boston within SIX
hours ride of that mighty to the West the Eric
canal Is nearer to contamination than Is generally
supposed. The portion of the read from North Adam,
to Troy wholly under contract and will be completed
and open for travel early in October next.
The trustees of the Wabash and Erie canal have
resolved to reduce the tolls iron transported over
the canal, from Elk to two and half mills per one
thousand pounds This reduction in conf unction With
those made in the New York and Erie canal tolls will
secure freight to these canals which otherwise would
have gone by way Of New Orleans to the west.
