OPENING OF THE MERCER AND SOMERSET
RArLwAY.-The New Brunswick Fredosian
Of last week gave the following account Of
the bpen,ng of the above road to public
travel -
The new railroad between New brunswick
and Trenton-the "Somerset and Mercer -
was opened I'd publi6 travel on Monday, Feb
ruary 23d-.the first passenger train leaving
Trenton at 100 A.: NJ, arriving at New Bruns-
wick at $50, and thence proceeding to New
York. The return train left New York at
sos, leaving New Brunswick at 4:30, and ar
irving at Trenton at ESQ p. M. The after
noon train consisted of four regular passenger
coaches, and one shohing and baggage car,
three of which were we'll filled with passen-
gers. and the other two partly filled, thus
showing q good number for the first day.-
The road runs via the villages of Milestone,
Harrington, Blawenburgh, Hopewcll; Penning-
tom. and other places Of less fote, and reach
es the Delaware River about eight miles above
Trenton, where it connects with the Beividere
Delaware road. over which latter road the
train proceeds to Trenton. The distance from
New Brunswick to Trenton by this road is
about thirty-five miles, some nine or ten miles
more than by the old route. The road Is very
smooth Tor q new one, and no doubt Will III
time, as soon as the ground settles, becoiiie as
smooth and solid as any. The grades are
slight, there being one, heavy one on the route
and that in passing over the ridge between
Pennington and the Delaware River. There
are but few entertainments Of more than two
T, or three feet high, and but few cuttings Of
greater depth. The only bridge of any con-
siderable length is the one across the low
lands at Milestone, about three hundred yards
lin length, and from ten to fifteen feet high,
which is constructed of wood, and appears to
be, quite substantial. Ample depots are erect
ED at the principal stations, and platforms
at the lesser ones. There are turntables at
Milestone, Harrington, Hopewell and Pennng-
ton, and side tracks and turn-outs at all the
,pripcipaI stations. We noticed freight-hous-
es, Lay-presses, and arrangements for unload.
ing cod at several places. The road Is well
fenced ltl,sapshont its entire length, ana
guards and waning-posts and signs at al
crossings and approaches to them. The ROAD,
therefore, seems to be well prepared for the
use of tile public, more so iii fact than many
rSads we are famiiiaF with which have been IN
operation for years, The country through
which this road passes lis one of the most fer
tile in the State. the soil being mainly rec
shale, and already well ,csflzwateG. mainly
with grain, grass and fruit This section II

who will no doubt furnish tl,e road with ;
