Cette, writing from Shullsburg speaks
thus encouragingly of the Monrue
atid Dubuque* railroad which is to pass
through Shullsburg:
i his town has been somewhat ex
cited of late, in regard to the propos
ed building of a railroad from Mon*
roe through this place to Dubuque.—
Sometime since, the company prom
ised that in case the town would
raise one hundred thousand dollars,
llie\ would build the road immedia
tely. A special election was called
soon after for the purpose of levying
a tax upon the town, which resulted
in nearly a unonimou* vote in favor
of raising $ 50,000 by tax on the vil
iutr.—ll.o mi'ci- #50,000 to be raised
in the township. The Company now
want them to raise $50,000 more
making $150,000 in all, and to give
them the light of way besides. The
people feel badly disappointed at this
kind of treatment, and their hope for
a railroad i- sadly blighted.
