The road rurs from Tyrone, om the Pennsylvania Railroad, up the Pold Eagle Valley, and intersects the Erie road a short distance from Jock Haven, Its whole ength ie tiny three miles, and the route is one singularly adapted to such an enterprise, while the country through which it pastes is one of the finest agricultural districts in tho State, contaimipg not less than 240,000 acres of valley Jand, which bas produced tn @ single searo. « ver 1,000,- 000 bushels of wheat, besides all ihe other grains and fruite of this latitude in the groatwat abundance.
