Saturday, Novexnber 6; 18-—'1«7- Deput at Iieeneo A superb building for a. depot oi‘ the Cheshire Railroad is nearly completed at Keene, N. H. This road, from the Fitchburgh Road to Keene, is to be completed this year—--and to Bellow's Falls early next year—-—or in time to meet the Rutland road, which we understand is progressing fairly. Vex-mn1_1t~‘(:a'nt.rzml Railroad. The Central Vermont Road from Hartford, or‘ mouth of White River, Vt., is to be completed to Northficld, about fifty miles, early next season; and then, we presume, the Connecticut River Road, from Bellows’ Falls to Hartford, thus connecting the Cheshire Road and the Central Vermont Road. Concord and Lebanon Railroad. . The Road from Lebanon, N. 1-1., to Concord, will probably be completed early next year——when there will be an uninterrupted line from Boston to North- field, Vt.,- and in a little time after it will be com- pleted to Burlington. The Rutland Road may not be completed quite-as soon as the Central, but it will probably not be far behind it in reaching Burlington. Connecticut and Fnuumpsic Railroad- The Road, in continuation, from the mouth of Willie river to the mouth ct’ the Passumpsic, will, we are quite sure, be pushed on with the least pos- sible delay——and frgpi thence in the direction 0! Canada line, the work is progressing rapidly. The energy and spirit evinced by the people or been aroused to the iinportance of railroads——i.~: worthy ofall praise. Anotl1cr~ft.uihvuy I’I‘4)jl‘t'rf-:1-l_;l18 West. A public meeting has been held at Witi¢:hcster, Randolph county, Indiana, to forward a Railway from Indianapolis to Bellel'ont.aiue,~ Ohio. Great interest was D’li111lf€.‘~l(‘:(l in the proposed route, and the opinion was expressed that the citizens of Ran- dolph county alone, werc able without cramping themselves, to construct the road through their county. That is the way to get along——trLte go-a- headitivcness.-——C2?n. Gaz. Pittsburg and Cleveland Railroad. At the annual meeting of the stockholders of the Cleveland and Pittsburg railroad company, held-in W'ellsville on the 18th instant, the following named gentlemen were elected directors of the company for the ensuing year: . James Farmer, Saliheville; Charles Knapp, J12, Pittsburg; Samuel ‘Williamson, Cleveland; Henry N; Day, Hudson; Cyrus Prentiss, Isaac N. Brayton, Ravenna; James Aten, Henry Cope, D. T. Lawson John S. Mclntosh, James Stewart, Alexander VVells, VVellsville. C The board organized by electing James Farmer, president; Cyrus Prentiss, treasurer; James Stew- art, local treasurer; and A. G. Catlett, secretary. ; The board resolved to put the‘ gratling, masonry, and preparing for superstr‘ucture of the whole line of road, from the point to which it is now let to Elud- ison, under contract as soon as the engineers can prez pare it, passing through Freedom, Lima, Atwater land Ravenna, on a line as near that already survey- ‘ed as the interest of the company will permit. We copy the above, says the Pittshurg Gazette, {from the \’Vellsville Patriot, from which we also ‘learn “that the whole line is to be put under con- tractpas soon as the engineers‘ can prepare ig, g:<‘),,ij,.,1tat- ting to Hudson, apoint within 24 miles oi”Cleve= land. This remaining 24 miles seems to be allotted to the wealthy and flourishing city of Cleveland to make.” ‘i’ We tool: occasion, some weeks since to notice the determined progress of the com pan y having the above road in charge. It is due to these gentlemen to say that they have worked against all possible discour- agements. With full faith in their own enterprize, and a manly action to back,it, they are going ahead with the determination of linking the Ohio with the terprize is thus sustained. We wish the new direc- tors all possible success, and hope and believe trim their labors will be rewarded with good dividends, and the honor and respect of‘ the country. Corrugated Cur VVl1cc-.15. The New York Tribune made a small error in its report of premiums awarded by the American‘ Insti- tute to A. W’/Li£~nc’_u 45- Sun for “ C‘/ragtzglazerl ’I7Ir'g_/m W/zur.=l,”—and the Mining Journal fell into the same’ error in copying from the Ti‘ibtt'm:. The w'rieel re- ferred to, and for which a premium was awarded, is of cast iron for railroad cars, and is termed “ corru- gated,” from the wavy, or wrinkled, form of fhrt part between the hub, and felloe, and tread of the wheel——instead of spokes, or a flat surface, as in most other cast iron wheels. The first wheels ofthe kind that fell under our ob- servation were upon the coal cars of the Reading railroad, but they were cast in two p‘arts~—-by casting the wheel without the hub, andthen casting the hub onto the other part-—in order to obviate the difliculty ofthe unequal contraction of the iron, catlisecl by the drill. 1n this way a wheel is made witltout the open- ings in the hub, and consequently cheaper than those with the zink and rings, which occasionally WOl‘li loose and require repairs. From what we saw or the corrugated wheel—cast in two parts-«we were apprehensive that there was not sutlicicntstrength at the place of joining-‘—tl1ough we were informed by those who had experience, that they were found to possess ample strength. The “corrugated wheel, of Messrs. A. ‘Nhitney dz. Son,” exltibited at the Fair, and receiving the niedals, oi" the American Institute, is cast in one whole mass cooling down gradually. piece, and requires onlylboring out to be ready for the axle, and from experiments made is foun.d, frolnt their peculiar mode of making wheels, to be entirely ..t‘xee¥?:
