ty, to Lancaster, last fall. 1t is eN-
pected that the road will be continued

The Illinois and Wisconsin narrow
gauge company contemplate building
a road road from Phillips Corners, in

ing &c, has been about sixty dollars;
Of this amount $40 has been raised by
from parties living in
the immediate neighborhood. The
City Council has been petitioned to

say it would be Il return to barbarism
to make these poor fellows work or
them at the whipping post.
