with pleasure for the completion OF the

will put us in direct communication with
San Francisco and intermediate points.
Among the benefits acoruing from this
new era, We have the DAILY HERALD
amongst us, and the leader in the issue of
the 18th inst. is particularly gratifying to
most of this community, as expressing
their views in regard to the action of those

"Point of Rocks" is completed, which will
make this one of the outlets to the sea,

very little understood by the business
world outside of those directly interested

Our town already shows signs of new
life awakened by the scream of the loco

buildings erected last year among which
