BELLEFoNTAINA, o., August l6.-A corps
of engineers and assistants are surveying
for the fourth time the proposed line OF the
SCioto Valley and Chesapeake & Ohio Rail
road in this county. The principal ditfi-
Guilty between Columbus and Fort Wayne
is to get low grade through Logan coun.
ty, the fall from Bellefontaine, both east
and west, being very rapid, the town being
situated on almost the highest point in
Ohio. The line, as now being located, gives
a very satisfactory grade, and every indlca-
ton points to the road as certainty in the
near future.
