"OUR RAILRoAD."-The Punxsutaw-
pcy Spirit, in ulluding to this new enterprise,
says "The corps Of engineers Is now at work
between this place aud Reynoldsville locating
and making an estimate Of the probable cos, Of
the road. On Friday John seGtt, President Of
the Allegheny Valley Railroad, wm. Stewart,
one Of the Directors, and Chief Engineer Black
stone, visited our town, and In company with P.
W. jerks, Esq, visited the surrounding country
and the proposed line Of the road. They ex-
pressed themselves as highly pleased with the
country, finding it much beyond their expecta-
tons.
It is proposed that when the probable cost Of
the road is aseertained, to issue first mortgage
bonds, independent Of the A. V. X. r., for the
amount and construct the road at once. A num-
Der Of our prominent men nave not only sgni-
fed their willingness to invest in the bonds, but
one party will also agree 10 sell a large amount
Of them, provided they are made in the proper
denominations. Should the read be constructe
over the proposed route, it will develOpe untold
quantities Of coal, lumber, and ire clay, to say
nothing Of furnishing an outlet for large agr-
cultural and stock raising district. The country
between Reynoldsville and Indiana is the largest
tract Of land in the State no, travcrseI by rail-
road, and we feel juiIihed in saying that no sec
tion Of like area possesses more natural wealth.
Our citizens can depend upon it, that, whether
this project fails or not, PunxsutAwney will not
be without railroad Eve years longer"
