   DeRuyter - The correspondent of the Oneida Dispatch writes of railroad matters in DeRuyter as follows:

   " The contract for the extension of the Midland Railroad west from DeRuyter is let to Sage, Williams & Jerome. We are glad that those gentlemen are to have the contract, for they are men of sterling integrity, and of great energy, and we can rely confidently that they will have the grading done in ample season. The line is determined, and will fall, as we anticipated, west of the Utica street bridge, and between the houses of Mrs. Wells and Mrs. Scott. The depot will undoubtedly be near Tioughnioga street. Work will be commenced on the Truxton extension just as soon as the engineers can lay the work out."
