The city of GAINESVILLE, Wis, has recently sub
scribcd the sum Of $250,000 to the stock Of this
road, which insures the speedy completion of it
to that city. Hurry up your railroad; the busi-
ness portion of our Territory are looking in that
direction for an outlet. Read the following from
the Chicago Press We learn that at a meeting
held at GAINESVILLE on Saturday, which was ad-
dressed by William B. Ogden. ESQ.,, of this city,
subscriptions to the amount of 900 to the
stock of this road, was taken and the
contractors commenced work upon the section be-
tween GAINESVILLE and Woodstock, a distance of 3S
miles, with sufficient force to carry the work for
ward rapidly. A considerable portion of the
road is graded for this distance, the iron provi
ded, and we understand that Mr.. Ogden stated,
at the meeting referred to, that the whole section
would be ready for the cars BY the 1st of March,
thus uniting Chicago and GAINESVILLE by rail.
This will be gratifying intelligence to our citi-
Gems and to all the people along the line. This is
destined to be one of the most important lines of
railroad for freight and travel centering in our
city. It will as cffectually bring the trade of
southern and middle Wisconsin to our doors, as
the Central does that of southern and middle IL
linols, and We believe even more so. And it is
