lay attending its consummation. But IL now
appears that the Directors have been quietly
but theoretically pushing forward the work
and are now able to promise the opening OF
the road to Rochester early the coming spring.
We think our citizens generally do not ap-
preciate the importance of this road to our
city. With the connections which will be
made with other roads at Rochester, we shall
have direct and continuous line to New York,
avoiding the inconvenience and delays attend
ing the crossing the city and change of cars at
Boston. We have no doubt that in few years
night trains will run regularly between this
city and New York, and that our merchants
may leave here in the early evening, spend q
day in New York and return by next evenir 6
train. In other words, that New York will bs
as near to us as Boston for business purposes
The distance from Portland to Chicago, via
Concord, is some ffty-seven miles nearer than
via the Grand Trunk. and the opening up o.
this new route would probably secure to us the
European steamers during the whole year.
The high character of the present Board Of
Directors is a guarantee that the consumma-
ton SO devoutly wished for by the friends Of
the road will be attained at the earliest posi-
BILE time; and the stockholders have been for
tunate in securing the services of these gentle
men in position which has required the high
est degree of executive and financial ability.
Their responsibility and labor have been great
but the success that has crowned their efforts
the past year will inspire in the public mind a
firm confidence in the future of the road, and
create renewed interest in its speedy compile
ton and command the aid of the capitalists of
the city and the section of country which is
and is to be benefited by the enterprise.

additional outlet to the Atlantic for the pro.
duce of the West, which is transported over
the roads leading through the State of New
Hampshire, has attracted the attention iof the
most sagaciOus and enterprising Railroad men
Of New Hampshire and Massachusetts,, and
they are starting lines to connect with it at
Rochester. About two thirds of the amount
required to build the line between Nashua and
Rochester has been subscribed, and we have
assurances that the road will he put under con-
tract and completed at an early day.
The completion of this road will give us d.
rect through line to New York by rail or via
the sound from Providence or New London,
saving thereby some twenty miles in distance
and from two to thee hours in time, over the
route via Boston. as well as the inconvenience
of the change at that city. More than two-thirds
OF the amount required to build the Concord
and Rochester road has been subscribed to its
stock and the parties interested in the enter.
prise express no doubts of it's early Completion.
The opening of this road will, when the line
between Bradford and Cavendish now pder

pracncable route to Rutland and to Chicago.

stock OF these two roads amounting to more

The road will extend from that city ac-
ross the continent to Puget's Sound, open

the St. Paul and Pacific and the Lake
Superior and Mississippi River Railroads
will. in connection with the North Pacific
make ST. Paul the distributing point tor
the immense and various products of the
great Northwest. Looking TO the inn
mense traffic Of the future, it has become
necessary to secure Southern railroad
outlet from St. Paul. and this is found IN
the Central Railroad Of Iowa, now pro-
crossing in that state. Frequent reference
has been made of the local necessity for
this, the only North and South railroad
line in the great and rich liawkcye State.
which will ;,bun,hntly support it; but the
intimate connection now established by
the Company with the Northern system
of roads will add largely to its importance
and its profitable employment. The fact
