was called to-day to the fact that the Massachusetts seu
ate had passed the bill previously passed by the House,
which provides that the Common shall sell
corporation the Hoosac Tunnel and the Troy and Grecn

said The Fchburg Railroad will need connecting lines
and probable that either the Troy and Boston road
the Boston, Hoosac Tunnel and Western will be empted
The Fitchburg can either purchase lease ono the
other the WHOLE part OF both to meet the necess
ties The Troy and Boston ocrs the most favorable ad
vantaees in the matter OF connection and with the
sructon OF the branch recently surveyed from Troy TO

what terms would be demanded for purchase out
right The Boston Hoosac Tunnel and Western claims the
cost OF that road The estimated ofthe
Troy and Boston $i.300.0O0. The link FROM Troy
to schenectady is estimated to cost 100000. From
these figures II will be that the Troy and Boston,
with the proposed branch road has advantages that
might tend to make the price favorable than that
OF the Boston, Hoosac Tunnel and Western, should the
Fitchbur2 decide TO purchase As to whether the Troy
aud Boston is satisfied with the BILL IL only be said
that we did not oppose it." Ii Is stated that tho bill
which IL is believed tho Governor will sign, lays the
foundation for mammoth through route from Boston
by way of the HoOsac Tunnel TO Chicago The Fitch
