New Railroad, 1.-The Masoniqn says: We
understand that the Catawissa Railroad Company
have concluded to extend their road from this place
to WilliamspOrt this side of ths river, passing
through McEwensville AMI near Turbetvile, thus
tapping that agricultural region in the upper end of
the county. This appears to US to be good move.
Che single section Of the road between this place and
WilliamspOrt is compelled to DO duty for three
Northern Central-a of them doing a heavy freight
business aud having fair amount of passenger traf-
fc. The ousequence is that the road is continually
blocked with trains every switch ana side track is
in use AMI much detention is caused thereby. We
trust therefore for the good OF all the roads, well
as friends in the u per end of this Nrt lumber
land) county, the new road will be pushed through
as soon as possible.
