Northern Turnpike Road.
Ten miles of this road are already surveyed, and a contract entered into for working it this summer. The contractors are men of industry and enterprise, and are well acquainted with their business. The directors are at present exploring and surveying a further ten miles of the road, which, we understand, will also be completed during the season. Perhaps no turnpike in the state, will, in proportion to its extent, be of greater utility to the public, or more productive to its proprietors. It will be the thoroughfare through which the produce of the northern part of this state, and the principal of the western district of Vermont must come to market and the soil over which it is to pass, is in general well calculated for constructing it and rendering it durable. The stock is nearly all taken up—about one hundred shares only remaining unsubscribed.
