that in order TO construct a proper road some

of The pc itiuners Tor said road, 10 tuIld horse

has now been bandoned.- aud that to accommo-
date said proposed horse railroad was one OF The

Gated The business between the Two cities can all
be conveniently done with the present flcili les
for highway travel, and indeed the distance be-

considerably less, and more level by the old road,
