   DeRuyter - The work of bonding Cuyler and Truxton is now completed and papers filed. Henry D. Waters, Benj. Brown and Charles W. Brown are the Commissioners for Cuyler; and A.L. Kinney, S. Goddard and C. Stevens for Truxton. It is now generally believed that the road will pass through DeRuyter village, just north of DeRuyter Institute, and that the depot will be located near Tioughnioga Street. The pile driving is progressing rapidly, one of the pile drivers being down in Mrs. Harvey's lot, and the work of driving piles will be begun in the village as soon as it can be laid out.

   The trestle work goes up, it seems, almost like magic, and the grading is being pushed along.
