Little Brilgewater, in Rockingham
county, Virginia, is just now attracting a
good deal Of attention, from the fact that
she has lately organized two railroad com.
panies AID has gone to work building two
roads, 10th running west. OF these, the
Washington, Cincinnati and St. Louis
Railroad has IIarrisonburg, Va, as its
Eastern objective point, thence via Bridge
water, through Nvrthrivcr Gap, near Mt
Solou to Monterey in Highland county,
through Jackson's River Gap to POcahon-
los, Webster, Bruxton, Clay, ROanc, and
Juckson into Mason, ut Point Pleasant =
P. B Borst, late President Of the Shenan'
doah Valley Railroad, is now President.
The Company has actually made eleven
miles of road bed, although they have not
not bond upon the market 1t started
With a .cqpaal of only $50, OOO.OO.-
Ilarri.oOburg gives $50 900; Bridgewa-
ter, $4,000; Highland county, $4,000,
and private subscription about $40 900.
Theilocation of this road is said to be pc
culiarly fortunate, in point Of grade, curV'
aturoS, Ne Othat being narrow guoge
its construction will be at unpreCcdenlIy
small cost. So, in time, Mason county
may be called upon to do something for
this road. X seems to be our best chance
of ever getting railroad to Point Pleas
ant, aud che influence of our moueyed
men should be heartily extended to this
enterprise.
