The Broad Gauge Located.

The Directors Of the Broad Gauge, a
q meeting held in Franklin, located the
line Of railway from Warren, TrumbulI
comfy, 10 Dayton, a distance Of $50 miles
and have let that portion Of il 10 Henry
Dooliule, Esq, of this city, one of the
most thorough, energetic, aud responsible
contractors in the United States. Mr.. d.
deiiUerS The line ready for the rolling ma
chinery, and intends 10 have il completed
10 Gallon by the close of 1854. The iron
TO be used is the compound rail weighing
rs pounds 10 the yard. Mr.. Doo!iule takes
in part payment of his contract, $l,0OO,-
900 of stock. He expects 10 commence
operations on his contract in the course of
80 days.
The points on the line in Ohio, are
Warren, Ravenna, probably) Franklin,
Akron, Ashland, Gallon, Urbana, and Day
ton. The distance 10 New York by this
route, is one hundred miles shorter than
that by the lake shore route. We under
stand that the original intention of connec-
lion with the Erie Railroad at Olean, has
been abandoned. A connection with The
Ssnbury and Erie Railway will give the
shortest route to Philadelphia, and bv the
Catawissa Railroad, the shortest 10 New
York.
The following gentlemen were elected
Directors at the recent meeting Of the
stockholders in Franklin,;-Thomas Earl,
Marvin Kent, Daniel Epson, Bella b.
Clark, Zenas Kent, Daniel Beckel and V.
Winters. The election of the gentlemen
last named, is a well well meriled compli-
ment 10 their enterprise and public spirit.
We regard the final location of the
Broad Guage which makes Dayton a point
as a most important invent in the history
Of our city. Upon all our other railway
facilities, this comes as the "csp %slleal."
Failing to secure the location, we should
have been seriously injured-but being
made a point, Dayton reaps a substantial,
enduring benefit.
The libeIality with which our citizens
have subscribed stock in the Brood Gauge
in the midst of our enterprises calling for
and receiving their aid, is greatly to be
commended. The 100000 assigned to
our city, was readily taken; a number of
subscriptions were in sums of $4,000
each. The investment promises a large
not only in actual dividends to the
stockholders but to the prosperity of our
city .-DaytOn Journal.

i scrIhor does notdeslro any one to be guided or
swayed in his opinions by any argument In its favor
which he can oiitr but would wish each one TO
examine il aud JUDGE for himself. II appears to be
the settled opinion Of those who have used the
GRAIN DRILLS that ii is the most advantageous
manner in which grain can be sown, from the fact,
lhat,in the first place, il greatly lessons labor;
secondly, II is a saving Of time, as a man with two
horses will SOW from 10 to 10 acres per day; thirdly
II requires less seed to the acre; foutthly, / is pro-
tcctcd from winter %freoz.ng from the fact that a
ridge Ofoarth is thrown up between the rows in
sowing, which moulders dOwn To the root orthe
grain and gives it strength and vigor in the spring
and lastly, an acre sown in this way will yield one
Elh more than that sown in any other manner.
This Machine also sows
LIME, ASHES, GUANO, PLASTER
or any other fine fertilizer with the wheat. The
lime, &c. are placed in separate apartments in the
hopper, arc kept separate until they enter the tin
funnel, from which they pass into the shovel or
tooth, thence to the ground, when they are de-
posted and covered together. -Four bushels Of
lime to the aero SOW in this way, has quite rs
beneficial an effect upon the grain as l25 bushcls

grain sown can be speedily and accurately rogula-
ted by the patent slide gage, made for the purpose
which has an index showing the quantity, which
may be varied from 3 pecks to two bushels TO the
