—lt Is authoritatively stated that parties ia this plaee will, next season, build a number of houses for rent. This will be another move in the right direction. There are not near enough tenement bouses in Rentesleer to supply tbe demand, and this, together with the fact that rents era entirely too high, keep people away who otherwise would come and settle here snd help build up the town.

The main trunk line of the Chesapeake and Ohio road, 425 miles in length, connecting Richmond, on the James, with Huntington, on ths Ohio, was finished at great cost six years ago. . Ths gap which remains to be filled in, and on which work has lately been resumed, is a distance of only about eighty miles, lying between Huntington, in West Virginia, aud Mount Sterling, in Kentucky. When this and other connecting links are finished to Huntington, Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and Kentucky will have a shorter and more -direct route to Eastern tide-water tbau any now ia exiateftce. The C. and 8. A. is not so for advanced aa the former, yet capitalista are now interestng themselves in its construction in such a manner aa to insure that the road will be built. Some of the Chicago and New fork papers are giving themselves a great deal of worry over the possibility of an enormous railroad monopoly which may control all the lines in the country and tax the publio ht its pleasure. It is not impossible that the question of railroad monopoly in this country may solve itself without the aid of any great amount of legislation. The highways of trade and travel are becoming to numerous held by any one combination. With the Port Koyal route and the Chesapeake route open, there need not be serious apprehensions of any mouopoly of long duration—[lndianapolis Journal
