ONO RAILRoAps.-Thc Cincinnati Gazette, of
late date gives the following view of railroads in
the Of construction completed in the State
of Ohio:
''Thc railroads being constructed and in pro-
gress in the Miami valley, and the lines connect
lance those of any other portion of the State.
"The trunk line of these roads is the Cincinnati
Hamilton, and Dayton railway, extending from
the first to the last named city, distance Of sixty
fertile Miami valley-a section of country that is
to be the most densely populated in the coun-
try. This road will be completed next summer and
fall, and will unquestionably be one of the most
productive roads in the United States
dayton, the northern termination of the road is
to be the point of radiation of several other import
ant railroads. The Mad river is already extended
from Springfield to this point-23 miles. The Co.
luinbus and Aenia road Id soon to extend from
Xcnia to this point-l5 miles; thus connecting the
Cincinnati, Hamilton, and Dayton road with roads
running to Sandusky city and to Cleveland.
tOn the west, the Dayton and Western railroad,
running to Richmond, Indiana, and thence to In
dianapolis, is being rapidly constructing is
on the line OF the Ohio Central road, which is to
tend through Indiana to st Louis The Greenvillc
and Miami railroad connects with the Dayton and
Western railroad fourteen miles from Da yton, run
ming thence to Grcenvile twenty miles, thence to
the State line twenty miles, thence to Winchester,
Indiana, ten miles, where it connects with the In
dianapolis and Bellefonaine road this road is 30
far advanced to warrant the purchase of the rails
"The Cincinnati, Hamilton, and Dayton road
will soon be extended north, and after reaching
given point il will branch oG-one road leading to
Fort Wayne and the other to Toledo From Ham
ilton road is building to Eaton, twenty miles,
thence to the State line and Richmond, twenty
milcs then there is the road projected from Ham
ilton to the Indiana line. And there arc also the
Hillsboro' road, TO be in operation-bcing the
Westerly division Of the Cincinnati and Beipre
road-and the Ohio and Mississippi road extending
west from Cincinnati 10 st. Louis, which we soon
hope and expect to see not only begun, but efi-
GENTLY prosecuted. Such are some of the evidences
of the railroad enterprise manifested in the south
western portion of this State.
"CENTRAL ONO RAILRoAD.--The directors Of this
company held meeting at GAINESVILLE the 18th in
slant. ftappears that S $50 900 of the bonds ofth

locomotive engines for the road have been pur-

"And it was resolved by the directors that the
interest of the company and of the community de-
and the earliest possible construction of that part
of the road lying between GAINESVILLE and the Ohio
