Rail Road and Clna!--An net of Assemble
authorizing the building ola Pail Road along tho
towing ath of the North Branch Canal, tassed tho
Legislature, previous to the adjoarnmont. As tho
late freshet has 80 greatly injured the ca,al, the
bill referred TO- is very ofortune. 1t 10 n positive
ly lnowr however what will be done with this work
for the present. The general opinion is that the
canal will be repaired in any event and that il q
r. T is built it will BE used in conjunction with
tn canal.
R. Il. from Toaanla to Athens is already in con-.
temptation and will probably be built. There will
need then only the link between Towanda and Pitr-
ton to complete tie cham and make perfect r. r.
communication, along the Sasquehanna between
the North and South. the East and the West Be-
sides furnishing a shorter and more easy route for
freight and travel, North and w"st-from the sea-
board and from the immense coal and iron fields OF
th' Stat; it would develop AM open up the material
o! Of the best agricultural and Lumber
regions Of the state. The road could not fail TO bo
paying one We think capitalists cannot long
hesitate as TO building it. Every encourage1ens
should be given the matter by those living slong
the route. Liberal subscriptions to the stock should
be made and the enterprise aide in every possible
way. If this done, We should soon hear
the shrill whistle of The steam .ss ringing
through the vaes and echoing allong the mountainT
OF the upper waters of the susquehanna.
