D. & C. railroad. A t pecial train was provided on the L. N. A. & C. railroad, and along the Hue of way received large addiiiods to the crowd already aboard, aad at Bradford a train on the narrow gauge was iu waiting aud everybody enjoyed the free rile. After faring sumptuously, everybody veting Rensselaer people most liberal and accommodating, th- s who could get in o the court hou w were highly entertained by ; d ' esses ft om various persons. The crowd were estimated at 3,000 persons. The Hon. John Lee, president of the Indianapolis, Delphi and Chicago railroai, very fully presented the objective pcints of the enterprise, and earnestly c !’• 1 upon the people along the line on the other divisions of the road to do their share, and the company, Yeoman, Hegler & Co., the contracting pieties, have, in adAance of the time, fixed for the commencement of the work, under the most adverse circumstances, ci myleted 16 miles from November 1, 1877, to February 5, 1878. They are ready and anxious to commence the work on the division between Bradford and Monticello, and betweon Monticello aud Delphi. The aid required on the part of the people must be secured and the work will be commenced as soon as the directors are prepared to assure them that their part of the eontruet te complied with We earnestly urge every person who fuels the necessity of competing transportation lines to assist in the completion of this enterprise, and may we have cause to rejoice over the event of the completion of the narrow gauge to this eiiy. Under the management cf Mr. Lee there can be no failure. Few men possess his executive ability and indomitable energy, and he deserves well of the friends of this much needed railroad.
