the cases viz: Miss Bell, pronounced by several
Physicians to be laboring under the last stage of
Scrofulous Consumption. She is now in goud
health, from the use of few bottles OF the above
syrup. HIRAM cox, M. ID.

belief that the Norwich and Worcester Railroad is des

This the substance report but have very lit

all such statements with suspision and distrust Some
Of the directors deceived and they innoceny de-
ceive the stockholders There appears to be- to many
a charm in being humbugged and they do not seem
anxious to be enlightened. This company subscribed
for 25oOO of the stock Of the Nashua and Worcester
paying interest which Offset the interest which the Nor
wich company had to pay much OF its debt
The Nashua road having been completed six
months the stockholders have to look to the earnings
OF the road for dividends and those failing 60 without
them Such is the position Of that portion of the debt.
The interest having ceased $4,000 have to be drawn
from the gross income to provide for the interest the
amount subscribed for stock in the Nashua road II is
proposed to sell this stock and it Is estimated that
$ls7 500 can be obtained for what cost $25o,000.
The report says nothing about the increase Of debt
by the payment Of u dividend of two and half per
cent, in the bonds Of the company and we have no
doubt there many other items in reserve which it
is supposed better the stockholders should be made
acquainted with. II anticipated that the Nashua
road would bring business to the Norwich OF at least
$50 600 per annum but appears that the aggregate
earnings Of the Nashua road will only amount about
double that sum.
