some of the energetic citizens of Brighton and
BruUklnc will petition the legislature next year

narrow gauge RAILROAD between the former town

itom Warren street in Brighton through the
valley on the north of Cory hill passing near
Cooiidgcs Corner in Broukline, and thence 10
Boston across the Marshes between the location
of the Boston and ALBANY and the Boston and
Providence railroads. The gentlemen interested
Ia this enterprise propose to build it at once. 1t

Try not built over, and will afford frequent and
rapid means Of conveyance between Brighton

narrow gauge railroads which will, on account

ate expense of running, become popular and
useful on short routes throughout New En-
