EDITOR REooRD:--After hearing so much
talk and reading so many reports concern.
ing the new railroad to New Hope, | fg'
anxious to see II for myself SO 10 com.
pauy with four others we started from
New Hope at o'clock on Sunday last,
by wagon, and went over the entire route
to the bridge that crosses the forks of the
Neshaminy.
We found the report about the bridges
being well built and the road being very
crooked correct. II was almost impossi-
BILE to keep the road bed in sight, owing
to the numerous curves after leaving Pax
sons Corner. AT this point 1t begins to
wind around the mountain and we lost
sight OF it altogether for two or three
miles until we reached the top of hill
below Lahaska, when we saw it In the
valley below. After crossing the road
that leads into Lahaska, 1t is again lost to
view, and we do not see II again until we
are stopped by man frantically waviog
his hand, informing us that they are about
TO let of blast We, OF course, need no
further coaxing to wait. This we find by
inquiring, is just below Center vile. The
party that has this part of the work is be-
hind and is compelled to work on Sunday
to get it finished 10 time with the rest.
After stopping here u while, we start
again on our journey and go along the
road bed for n considerable distance. The
next place we stop at is Mill Creek, where
we find another man presumably behind
with his work, as they are working here
also.
