In relation to this road The Daily Republican (Quin-
ey H. says:
Tie immense benefit which the people of Quincy,
ard those of the country along the route have eaped
from the construction of this road hardly be real
led We can see some Of ts fruits but the varieties
Of trade are many and the interests so diversified
that is not possible to estimate with any degree Of
accuracy BY dollars and cents, the amount of benefit
which has already been derived from this enterprise
1t has been of equal advantage TO the beautiiu and
fertile country tTayeTses Along the whole route
and for miles on either side, the evidence Ct ts nhu
ence Is visible. Towns have been built up in sea

settlers anc thO ands Of acres which but for the CON-
p!etOn OF this road, would have remaiGed )r years TO
come In state of nature will next year bloom With

construction vi the Northern Cross Railroad has been
equal 10 the amount expended in building IT,

The Buffso and EIie Railroad Company have agreed
10 build forty miles OF the railroad now IN process OF
construction between Erie and Beaver, Pa. The con-
