doucy asito tho future OF out place ia a
business point Of view, the date Of this
finds our people joyous and hopeful in
the early prospect Of a railroad com
plcted and 10 operation, manufacturing
establishments arising in our midst
aud new activities aud industries urg-
/ ing on shaping a new prosperous ca

us.
1t seems very safe to say that early
in the autumn months we shall be in
easy communication with the rest Of
mankind connected as we shall be by
an iron ligament that will be joined to
| the net work Of railroads that binds
our continent. With the new order Of
things that will be thus inaugurated,

must alter their rate OF motion, or give
way to the rushing Yankee, who, with
his face to the setting sun is striding
/ like a giant in the march Of progress.

railroad is to be in running order and
properly equipped by the first day Of
November next, but the indications
now are that forty miles Of road will be
/ finished before that time and the work

thousand tons Of rails weighing thirty
five pounds to the yard viii come dur
ing the month Of July. The grade and
superstructure thus far, are for the
standard gauge, four feet eight and one
half inches in width, but the present
arrangement 10 for gauge Of only
three and one half feet the widest Of
the so called narrow gauges. But we
have been too often disappointed to feel
over confident, so we shall wait and
see.

whose enterprise gave it to the world
deserve only the pity Of the public.
Their good intentions seem to have
been the sole capital in trade and

wishes of the public were in fair
way to make the enterprise not wholly
a failure, but the too ambitious publish

is open for some one else to fail or sue
