The grading Of the A. Y. g. p. road ", we
believe, completed 10 Rock Creek, and the
work is now going on between the village and
the station. This cannot occupy more than
few days more, when it is expected that atten-

tween the station and the harbor Between
Rock Creek and Bloomfield, the grading is
progressing. To keep up the work and meet

installment of ! 0 per oent. has been laid due

Capt Thomas is in all probability a clever
sailor, and familiar with "blowing." We
doubt, however whether he could even be
"blowed' into very close hug of that "east
pier" if Truth sat perched upon one of its
snubbing posts. Our Paincsvile namesuke
we trust, will bear with u.s. if, in view of the
vigorous progress of t,oo rOdds running from

three feet gauge affair, running between
