ARVoNIA, VA. December S.--Work
is progressing rapidly upon the yir-
ginia Air Line Railway, now building
between Bremo, on the James River
Division of the chesapeake and Ohio
Railway. and Lind:.y. on the main
line OF that railway. Within the last
ten days or ITO weeks Il large num-
Der OF foreign laborers have been -s-
ceived. and they are now at work,
principally in and near Palmyra, the
county seat OF Fluvanna county and
on the southern end OF the road. There
are also many colored laborers en-
ployed by some OF the contractors.
So far there has been no check Or
delay In the work anywhere along the
line. and everything points to an early
conclusion of the worn It IS said that
through trains will be running over
the line by the first OF June. 1873.
This will mean much to Arvonia. and
all this part of central Virginia. When
the trains commence running 1t will
place Arvonia within 100 miles of
Washington City In direct line. It
is not determ ID yet whether or not
through trains will be run over this
line and the Buckingham Branch of
the Chesapeake and Ohio, but whethe
or not this Is done at once, the Chesa-
peake and Ohio Railway Company has
promised close and convenient con-
nections both ways. 1t is thought here
that connections will be made at Lind
say with the two fast flying vestibu,e
trains which run between Cincinnati
and Wash ngton, placing passengers
from this place in Washington IN
about three or four hours.
There Is much talk abou, the pro-
posed extension OF the Southern end
of the Buckingham branch to Farm
Vile and beyond. owing to the recent
strlngency In the money market the
project was temporarily held up. but
promoters now think the scheme will
carry without trouble, especially since
the link north of Bremo has been
about completed This will no doubt
insure through trains between Farm
vile and Washington within a reas-
enable length OF tie.
