The branch OF the Philadelphia and
Reading Railroad under construction from
Huntsville to New Hope. is being pushed
rapidly forward. Col. Jameson has the
contract, and has some eight hundred
men at work. 1t Is the general opinion
this branch will ultimately extend to Eas.
ton, passing through Riegelsville and fol
lowing the course Of the canal. II such
should prove to be the intention OF the
Philadelphia and Reading Company, whIls
1t would be most beneficial, profitable and
convenient to many 10 and about this To-
cality, 1t would, at the same time, be mos'
damaging, detrimental and undesirable tc
many others. A railroad on this side o.
the river would have the tendency o.
greatly reducing travel over the Delaware
bridges along its route, and, as a conse
quence, bridge stock would certainly de
preciate in value. The Delaware canal
which has been striving for an existenc'
for so many years past, would have IL
death-knell sounded at the first toot Of th'
iron horse, and fade away among the use
