The Housatonic Railroad Completed.
To the Editor of The Tribune:
You were not mistaken in supposing the Housatonic Railroad to be completed. If you will look at the date of the letter in the Commercial you will see that it was written several weeks since. In order to satisfy the incredulous, I now offer to prove that the cars of the Housatonic Company on Friday last were run from Bridgeport to Greenbush and returned the next day; that the passenger train now runs daily and regularly between Bridgeport and West Stockbridge, and that from West Stockbridge there is an unbroken line of Railroad to Boston, to Albany, and to Hudson. Please come yourselves, or send your corps of reporters, if the fact is still doubted.
