Richmond and Middleboro' Turnpike.

A meeting of the friends of this road was held at Goshen on Saturday last. A report from the Engineer was submitted to the meeting, together with his estimates of the cost of the work, and a beautiful map of the different lines surveyed. He estimates this road to cost one-third less per mile, than either of the other roads now being constructed in this county.

It runs through a rich and fertile part of the country, and will command a large amount of travel when completed.

Graves who will exhibit them to all persons who wish to examine them.
