" iliiarn Bsgshsw appointed Secretary of the

10 to-daT's Journal, it will lie seen that the
engineer is to proceed to the immediate loca-
tion of the road, and that five dollars on each
share is to be paid to the Treasurer within
thirty days. This looks like going to WORK
with the right kind of spirit, and no doubt can
any longer exist that this railroad will be
pushed forward to speedy completion. OF
this we are the more fully convinced when we
take into consideration the fact that the in
dividuals who now have the control of it, are
men Of undonbted business capacity, indom-
table energy and unfaltering perseverance.

country, are very poor SO far as relates to

similar fate. The apple trees, we believe,
are not injured, and will probably produce
their usual quantity OF fruit.
