A NEW RAILROAD,

That Is Being Bull IN Bushes, Like Manner.
The old Ohio & Toledo Narrow Guage Railroad
running from Oneida to point few miles below
CaTrOllton, a distance OF about % miles, has led a
precarous and sensationless life during It's entire
existence, chiefly because OF Its isolation from the
great lines OF traffic and It's unstable financial
basis.

undertook TO manage the road for time. He
saw that with proper management the road could

road necessary to connect with the Alliance Il

A few minutes after passing Clyde she made some
inquiries, and learning that she had passed by
