A RIJMOR FROM KINGSTON. n. Y.

KINGSTON, \. Y, Nov. 26.-There Is rumor
here that the Hartford and Connecticut Western
Railway Companies contemplate direct rail line
between Rhineclif, opposite this city, and
Springfield, Mass The construction of a branch
road between Tari1ytlle and Springfield, a dis
lance OF sixteen miles, Is all that is necessary TO complete
the connection when this road was built first pro-
posed to Springfield the eastern terminus instead of
Hartford but the former city refused the required pecu
mary aid that was readily extended by the latter;
hence Hartford became the terminus IL is limited IN
railway circles that diversion OF the Massachusetts Cen
trail from the line somewhere about Bays junction 70
Springfield also among the probabilities. This would
secure new through line from Boston to the Hudson
