We have the extreme satisfaction of being able to
announce, this week, that the heading OF the Ale
sghany Tunnel was driven through on Thursday last
and that on Friday some OF our ieow-citiZens of
Greenbrer passed through the Alleghany Mountains.
Holes were boared through on Tuesday, we believe,
and so accurate had been the calculations that the
a third of an inch By Thursday the heading was
driven through and light allowed to pass in. The
Allegheny Tunnel was a great undertaking. and had
been bugbear in the minds of Legislators for seve-
raj years. But its terrors have been swept awayit
can no longer frighten the peoples representatives
from doing what the public interest so imperativey
demands. The delay which it predicted this tun-
mel would occasion, no longer be urged as an OBJ
lection to the Covington and Ohio Railroad.
