| A crew Of men commenced. Thursday, on
| the line near the residence of Mr.. Horace
DAVIS, in this city. The surveyors are now
at work east Of here and it may be stated
that much greater difficulties are encounter

than were found between the Union and
Penobscot. 1t is probable that the depot
grounds here will not be fixed on until the
| line east is more definitely determined. The

has been found impracticahe as the expense
of bridging Skiliing's river would be too
great at the point where the road would have
to cross. The question will probably be defn-
itely settled by the surveyors in few days

appreciated, and to our knowledge there hal
