The bark Hanson, Gregory,
arrived yesterday, from Bristol, England, with 2,492 iron rails, for
the Tyler road {Houston, Trinity & Tyler RR}.
The whole is consigned to Messrs. Kauffman & Kisener. |
{If the rails were 24
feet long each, this would provide enough rail for 5.6 miles of track,
both rails.} |
