The Madison Courier of the Sth inst saws: The board
of directors of the NJ. & 1. r. r. Co. at its late meet
ing at indianapolis, made sundy changes in the tariff of
fares and freghts the road which, upon consultation
with the State officers. approved, conforming
essentially the changes recommended BIZ those func.
tionaries. The principal alterations are as follows:
Drygoods reduced from so to 45c. per 100 lbs; stoves
queensware holow-ware and small castings from 40 to
35c per 100 lbs. Salt is still retained at 4Oc per brl
but the maximum weight is fixed 400 lbs per bril- ali
excess 10c per 100 lbs moasses is changed from rate
per bril- 2Gc per 100 lbs -four reduced from 80 to 32c
per bril-; wheat from TO Sc. per bush hogs from 30
45c. per head; cider from 60 to 40c. per bril- These
prices for the whole line of road OF course cores
pondnG changes made for the intermediate points Some
other reductions are made on minor articles not materi
ally affecting the traffic of the road the community
1t is intended that the tariff shall 90 into effect on
Monday next.
The board declined reducing the rate Of passage A
table OF all the railroads the Union compiled by the
money writer of the n Y Tribune shows that the av-
erage rate per mile for passage on these roads is three
and mill per mile. The fare of the Madison
road is and nine mills per mile; thus showing
it below the average of the roads in the Union But
four roads of corresponding length below the rate
