The Hoosac Tunnel.

Tie object sought for in the construe-
ton of the Hoosac Tunnel and Troy and
Boston Railroad was more direct route
from Boston TO the West ria Troy and
the New York Central Railroad than is
now afforded by the Western Rail-
road.
The distance from Boston to Science
tady, ria the Tunnel and Troy. is 2IO
miles-ria Western Railroad and Alba
ny Els miles, saving by the former
route miles; but thegrddes Of the tunnel
line being much less than those OF the
Westef, \ road, gives the former an aver
aye load O, lo2 tons to 81 tons for the lat
ter.
The length OF tn, tunnel will be p ,o3l
feet, or about Al mile.
The altitude of the Hoo>ac Mountain,
Immediately over the tunnel, Is 23lO
feet above tide water at Troy, the hight
of the mountain above the tunnel at The
same point is IT'S feet.
On the 2sth of October connection
was made between the west end and
the west shaft, so that OH that side there
is now excayated 1000 feet of Tunue,
and Heading; while on the east side
there is completed 52s3 feet. making q
total Of 92S3 feet of lineal excavation,
10, 74S feet being yet unbroken.
There are two principal shafts-the
west shaft Bis feet in depth, aud the Gen.
trail of 1857 feet. This latter is not fin
ished, depth of about 800 feet only hav-
ing been attained.

- If you wish to keep q town from
thriving don't put up any more buildings
than you can conveniently occupy your
selves. lfyou should accdertly have an
empty dwelling and any one wants to use
1t, ask about three times its actual value for
1t. Demand a Shylock price for every "a.
cant spot Of ground God has given YOU
stewardship over. Turn cold shoulder to
every mechanic or business man seeking a
home among you. Look at every new
conner with scowl Run down the work
OF every new workman. Go abroad for
wares rather than trade with those who
seek to do business in your midst. Wrap
yourselves up within yourselves, and cover
yourselves up with coat of impervious
selfishness. There is no more eifectual way
to retard the growth Of town than actions
like those enumerated
