From the Philadelphia Press, 22nd ult.
ANOTHER SUPERIOR RA1LRoAp-Among
thcnew projects noted in our railway column
this morning is one that will be more readily
comprehcuded in Philadelphia than most
other cities. Under the name of the North
western Railway Company, an extension
of the ST. Croix road from the State line to
the Northern Pacific junction, has been
incorporated. The contract for this section
has been taken by Wabridge Brother &
Sargent, an Ohio firm, who propose to have
the road ready for running by July, 1873.

From the St. Paul Pioneer 30th ult.
SUPERIOR City Wis, which has been under
a cloud for number of years, now begins
to discern "sIver linng," and is joyful.
The TINES predicts that during the next
year the Superior u Northwestern r. Il,
extending from the city and harbor of
Superior to the initial point of the n. Z.
X. Il, twenty odd miles due west, will be
constructed, SO that passengers and freight
fcan take The cars and run well into Mon
tana by continuous railway of about 600
miles; and also that work WILL be commenced
on The line from Superior to Ashland. We
hope our Superior friends will not be dis
appointed. They have waited long and
patiently, and endured "hope deferred
with a courage that is admirable.
