Twenty-seven carloads of steel has arrived atZadoc to be used on the C. & W. V. railroad. There is sufficient to lay about eight miles of track, either from Gifford toßensselaerorfrom Pleasant Grove to Wolcott, We seemed to have guessed pretty well who the Gifford correspondent was. and also to have struck the nail square on the head about the excursion. We were only guessing about those things, but now we are sure. We are very sorry if we were so unfortunate as to offend G. C,. as that was not our intention.
