-0ne Of the Philadelphia papers re-
ported last Sunday that the new line from
Hartsville to New Hope had been ordered
to be built and that Capt. John Shields,
of Pennington, in this county, had been
given the contract, but we know of moth
ing to confirm this report. 1t is proba-
bly, erroneous.

The engineers on the proposed rail-
road extension from Huntsville Station
to New Hope are now locating the line
after considerable preliminary survey
ing, says the Newtown Enterprise. On
Tuesday afternoon they were in the

The line here comes up
the east side of Mill creek, through the
of Harrison Smith and Samuel
Price, and not more than mile from
Pineville. The work OF securing capital
stock for the road is progressing very
we'll. Already in the section of Buck
ngham valley north of the mountain
about $l1,000 has been subscribed,
while those canvassing lower Bucking
nam and Wrightstown are doing very
we'll. There is some talk in Warwick of
another line suggested, running further
north, near Jamison and Bushington,
but this is entirely impracticable, and
he only line thought of by the survey
ors is down the valley of the little
crossing the main stream at
the forks" and then up the valley of
Mill creek.

trains as well. In coming
