UIGnLY IMPoRTANT II TRCs-it is now
rumored that strong influences arc at work
whereby we are to be furnished with dis
rect eastern connection via the American
Central Railway, the western terminus Of
which is at New Boston. 1t is rumored
that the French Company that is furnishing
the money to crowd through the Central, is
also to furnish the Warsaw and Rock ford
Company with funds to build its road as
originally contemplated, from Warsaw to
Port Byron. II this is true-if the great
interests now operating to put through the
:. .ncrican Genital, also takes this other road
in hand, then We have direct eastern out
let going in an air line to Philadelphia and
New ork. We have heard the rumor, and
give it for what it is worth, trusting i. may
have foundation in fact.
