 Lee and it's Railroads-The town of Lee seems exceedingly unfortunate III it's efforts at securing greater railway facilities The Lee S New Haven R. R., which has been In process of construction Con paper and in the Massachusetts legislaturc,) for the past forty years. is to-day as far from being in readiness to receive its rolling stock, as it was the day its inceptive idea was born in the unfortunate mind of the oyerzealous inhabitant of ye days of yore. Last week the legislature of Massachusetts administered to the project, which, although repeatedly killed, wouldn't die, a narcotic, which it is thought will bsguile 1t into a slumber that will know no waking. Some years since in the ''dim and distant past, y according to the best recollection of the oldest inhabitant, charter for this road was obtained of the legislature, and loan of the credit of the State, of $500, 1000, on condition that the road should be built, al any time at the convenience of the project ors, within a period of years, Ga thousand, more or less, and it appears after this very desirable aid was secured at very great eff. fort, the parties having the project in hand, evidently regarded their work as completed, and for ought we know expected one good turn deserved another; and their subsequent masterly inactivity may be construed as waiting for the state. or some other gener Ous fellow, having their welfare at heart, tc come on and build their road and hand il sent his nice little boy with toy "bul glne,' and perhaps accompany it with 6 ''neat little speech" That this, their dream if indeed we are correct in our sur mIses has proved delusion, and has served nc other purpose but to silently, slowly bu surely wear away the precious time to tho end allotted them by their charter, we, ot course, are sorry. If we are correctly in formed. after the time for first charter had expired, another was benignantlJ granted, and, to their everlasting credit bt it said, something like year since, realiz- ing the time of the last charter was rapidly drawing to close, the officers in charge seemed to arouse from their lethargic slum Der and the towns of Lee, Beckett, Otis Ssndisfeld and Holland were invited to as sist, which they did to the tune of some thing more than $lOO, 900, and which wal duly planted in various places along tho route, the road being graded perhaps one fourth it's entire distance of 24 miles bu notwithstanding this evidence of vitality the legislature seemed determined to en. stamp the project with it's disapprobation it having by its prOtracted inactivity be come wholly unworthy renewal of tn aid and privileges once so readily bestowed upon it, and, as VIC said above, the legisla ture last week refused totally to grant al extension of the charter or renew it's offe of aid, and being unable to complete th work without it, the road had better ncve have been born. The infant has cost, al told, nearer two hundred thousand dollar than the one hundred thousand mentioned and now, everybody kuows, isn't wortl raising, even if there was ghost of
 chance to rasuscitate it after the lcgislatv blow that deaconed it last week. Anothe railway project which has received the at tcntion of the Lee people for two or thre years past, is what is known as the Lee { Hudson road. It appears that somethin
 more than hundred thousand dollars hay been expended on this route in grading and which we are informed is nearly read
 for the rails, but somehow the bottom o the treasury suddenly dropped out las summer, and the laborers refusing to worI on tick, that enterprise is allowed to rest It appears the Boston & Albany road prom
