at a blast, and clears square as a brick, within 4 miles. All down hill. Timber abundant. You speak of the space to be filled at the Ends. The bridge builders have nothing to do with moving Earth. It would be something of an item, an embankment 20 or 30 feet for two or three thousand feet in length. You ask if the R.R. bridges are covered bridges. For R.R. bridges usually not. They may be or not, as it pleases. The general plan patent is the same in all. different modifications. Postage on letters to Bangor, I think ought not to be double. The ordinary Mail route via Railroads & Boston may be two or three miles over the Legal 300. But there are certainly Mail routes via Keene & Portsmouth, which would be very much less.
