A DECIDED IMPROVEMENT The en-
'erprising proprietors Of the Laclede
Hotel at this place have had the steps
leading to the balcony in front of their
hotel, which nearly obstructed the side
walk, torn down, and, new ones run
ming directly up in front of the door
placed in their stead. 1t adds also to the
appearance of the building. We went
through the basement rooms and cellars
of this hotel the ether evening, and
found that they were not only admirably
arranged, but that everything was as nca,
us pin. The new dining room on the
second floor is large and handsome, and
has just been newly painted, while the
parlor and guests rooms are as COM
Portable as homo apartments. Travellers
having occasion to visit Troy will be
pleased if they stop at the Laclede.

sylvana, for iron for the entire road, and
with Grant for locomotives, which will
commence delivering on the first of May
next.
Work on the road, which has been de-
layed by the severe winter, will be com
menced as soon as the frost is out of the
ground. Teams and hands are already
on the ground awaiting this, aud it is the
intention of the directors to push the
road through as soon as possible, for
delay is injuring them as much as it is
any one along the line. We are assured
that the people may look for the cars
from above this summer. CT course we
do not expect to see the road completed
through to St. Louis by that time, but as
the work is completed above, the hands
working there will be moved to St.
Charles county, and operations south of
US commenced. As the iron will be put
down and construction trains placed on
the road as soon as the grading admits,
work promises to advance rapidly this
summer.
Our readers may draw such conclusions
from the above as they may see proper
The tardiness Of the work heretofore has
caused many to doubt that the road
would ever be built, and are inclined to
judge the future by the past. We hope
for better things, however, and place some
confidence in the word that comes to US
from the meeting of the 4th.
