Another HatiroFd.-We ask the etten-
ton of ouFbusiRascneh and capitalists To
the article below, which We copy from the
NOraaik Reflector We suggested, in our
last paper, that the allure of tlse Erie FOad
to get possession sof the OoIembus Chicago
and Indianapolis road, and IFS further fad
ure to.obtain control of the Fiitsburgh, Fl.
WaySs d Chicago Road, wdald necessitatS
its building an Independent line to Toledo
in order to reach Chicago, nd secure is
share ia the trade of the gtsat West; and
suggested that prompt action. on the part Of
our citizens might result in obtaining anotb-
er road here. as il was possible the route
from Akron migbt-be dstermined upOn.-
The citizens of NorWalk have had their eyes
open, and do not design to be caught nap
ping. Hence the action spoko0 of in the
sabiOiued article. Now it remsins for Ere
mOnters to be up and doing and cooperate
Filh our neighbOrs0f Of NofwsIk, for a new
road there means new road lere, unless by
aegleet it should be. pernittedl to diverge

topte nom olevelsud to Toledo will be

Erie. No tine should be lost id setting be-
fore the authorities .of the Erie the advau-
toges Of this route, and the Willingness Of
tie people to aid in the cODstfaetioh of the
rsad. A meeting of our citizshs should al

The @RAIL9oAD .AGA1N.-We publish in
this paper an account of Railfoad meeting
held a. the Mayors Office, in this place, on
Tuesday evening last. WeEere not present,
bnt understand the meeting vas called to
consider the project of the Erie Railroad
O0mpang to extend their line to Toledo and
Chicago, they having failed TO consummate
an arrangement with either The 6olunbus d 1
IndianapOlis Road or Pittsburgh, Ft. Wayne
B Chicago Road. Mr.. Jay Gona has said
that the Erie management we're going to
have connection with the points first nam-
ed without fad, and accordingly our neigh
bors to the North, through Sahdusky and
Port Clinton, have induced Mr.. Gould to
send surveyor over their hns, alleging
that they have the shortest line from Cleve-
land to Toledo, being l0l5 miles rs
Now il is proposed to have 3 Committee
see Mr.. Gould, and present 10 him the ad-
Esntages of our route, in that % Starting
from points on the Atlantic q Great Wes-
tern Road, line from Akron to Toledo is
only ia miles direetYand would pass thro'
Wellington and al the important towns
along the line of the present roads giving an
excellent way traffic compared. With which
our northern neighbofs can show nothing
liksit. (2.) From West Salem to Toledo It
is only 81 miles, is nearly direct, and shows
the same advantages as the other route. e.
T6Iedo wants diIectline totheeoal regions,
and so do we; this adds to the Carrying bust
ness of the road to great extent.
Our interest are noWin the hands Of q com
peteht Committee, who will spare no pains
10 present the subject in proper light-to Nh.
Gould. The question of stock subscriptions
is not atissus now, and, at bests will be only
a secondary matter. A paying line is the
real question to,be settled, and on that We
are econtent to rest our chances.
WheDever The Committed shall call
another meeting to further consider this mat
ter, we hope our citizens will turn out and
give attention to a subject Of such vital I'M
portance. ~
