RAILROADS EXAMINED.
What The Commissioners, Report says of the Central New England.

" nat me COmm mmlssiOnCrSe Report
 says of the Central New England.
 The road was examined on the 25th of September and found to be in good condition as to the roadbed, track and bridges, all of which have been much improved, as noticed in former reports. We notice the erection of new station at Twin Lakes since our last inspection; also the bsllasting of certain portions of the track, and new crossing frogs at the junction with the Nsugatuek rail road at Winsted. The depression of the tracks at the Sigourney street extension in Hartford, in progress at the time of our inspection, has been prosecuted with great difficulty owing to the frequent rains and the na- ture of tho material to be exeayated The heavy rains of the past season have partially undermined the founds- tions of pier of the bridge over tine Blackberry river in the town of North Canaan, and it has become necessary to excayate new channel for the stream to divert its current away from the structure.
