without recourse to borrowed money.
This policy has been formally sanctioned
by the Company, and the Directors stand
pledged to suspend the work whenever
they have made engagements that will ab-
sorb ali the available means that have been
provided.
In the last annual report it was stated,
that to complete, the Road to the base of
the mountain, and connect with the Por-
tage Railroad, would require about nine
hundred and sixty-seven thousand dollars,
to which must be added about three hum
dred thousand dollars, at present required
to place the machinery in an efficient con-
dition, making a total, of one and a quarter
million of dollars, as the sum required to
be subscribed at this time.
The funds now at the command of the
Board are about sufficient to complete the
work to the Tyrone Forges, on the Little
Juniata, about twenty-five miles this side
of Hollidaysburg. The Board have felt
constrained to adhere strictly TO the policy
indicated, and have instructed the Chief
Engineer to suspend any other contracts
| beyond that point, until the subscc,r,ofions
required to place them ir, Iupds at the
proper time are obtained. To enable the
Board to complete the road to Holidays
harg early next year, subscriptions should
De promptly made, as the loss OF the sum
mer season viii cause serious delay In the
execution of work, which is not of a kino
to be prosecuted with advantage in the
winter.
The Board deem it needless to use any
argument at this time 10 press upon the
public the necessity of action in the prem
ises, as the importance of the work TO the
trade and prosperity of Philadelphia Is
fully appreciated by every citizen; bu
{ they may be permitted to urge, that the
i rapidity with which the lines to the North
and the South are now being constructed
warns us that no time is to be lost in press
o ing our own work to final completion
n The Tyrone Forge, at which the wori
c will now rest, is a point at which the roaC
q will furnish adequate returns TO pay th'
{ interest on the capital invested, so that M
II loss will accrue to the present stockhold
ers; but the great objects of the enterpris
e are unaccomplished, until the way is clea
c to the city OF Pittsburg.
u The Board most respectfully urge upol
t the present stockholders, and their fellow
Q citizens generally, to make at the offlc
such additional subscriptions as will enabl
:, them to renew their labors without delay
IF By order Of the Board.

only conp PEELED 10 leave 1t when prostrate ed
by disease at Vera Cruz. Since his return
home his health had been partially restored.
and Goring the last and preceding sessions OF
the Legislature he offici ciated Assistant Mes

Towards Tie close of the last session his cou
stitution naturally delicate. was compelled IL
give way to the rapid march OF consumption
which fully developed itself, and he only
ena bled 10 reach the Summit where he termi.
mated his earthly career surrounded by his rel.
atlves ard friends. He was buried at the Sum
unit on Tuesday with military honors by his
fellow soldiers of the Cambria Guards, and fol
lowed TO the grave 10y large concourse of peo
pie, who thus testified their respect and esteem
for him u citizen and soldier.
