knowing ones. about the future Of the rail-
road. All kinds Of guesses are INDUCED In,
and all kinds Of projects are provided for the
sdidcation Of the general superintendent, and
the chief engineer. In due time it will be
known what they propose to do, and how,
and when, and where. In the mean time.

any one can indulge In, fortunately without
violating any Of the ordinances Of the town,
Or the statutes Of the state. We have got

have some better wealth or IL the future than
We have for the past three wee Ks, the road
won't be built anywhere very soon."
