THE CHESHIRE RAILROAD.

The directors of this enterprise have found it
necessary, for the rapid and advantageous com
pleton of their work, to offer new Stock TO the
shareholders ;and in order to effect a guaranty
of its entire subscription, they have been indu-
ced TO offer it at the rate of seyentyiive dollars
per share. This course, however undesirable,
they were constrained to adopt, owing to the
present most unusual scarcity oil money.
The question now is, whether it is the interest
of shareholders to concur in this arrangement
and to take the stock offered and hold till better
times or to part with it at a time when the
soundness OF all investments is tested by the
severest pressure of the money market known
for the last ten years.
Cheshire stock is n0w depressed il price in
common with, but in no greater degree than
other Roads, in process of construction; but
this fact can be taken as no measure OF ITS tu-
ture productiveness and value. Let us look for
a moment at its claims to our confidence.

midway between the Fitchburg, as a trunk, and
