the progress Of the work on Saturday, and of the
prospects:

drove the first spike in the Valley Railway, at the
point near Old Forge where the new line joins
the Cleveland, Mt Vernon & Columbus Railroad
Immediately after, a force Of ten men began the
work Of laying the track over the switch leading
to the main line, and at 2 o'clock the gang had
reachee point about midway between the Cleve.
land Mt. Vernon Columbus switch and the
bridge crossing the mill race. Meanwhile force
of 15 men was engaged in grading the connection
with the main line, delayed by the recent pro
ceedings in court. The rails are steel, not iron,
as heretofore stated, The only delay at present
anticipated will be in the completion Of the long
trestle neer the Cascade MIL but while that is
being constructed, the tracklayers will push on
southwaId, 30 that no time will be lost. January
1s 1879 Is still held the date for opening the
road"
The intention was to commence track laying at
Cleveland, but the rails were delayed on the way
from Johnstown, and consequently work was
commenced first at Akron.
