PANK ROADS IN OPERATIONS.

No.ofroads. Miles. Av'ge cost pr.ml. TT.
N. york.. 10 2,lOs sl,s3S $500, 295
Very nearly four millions Of dollars have
been expended in New York upon these
roads, and the resulting advantages are inn
mense. The roads have all been subscribed
for by individuals, and all pay handsome d.
vide nds For instance, the Troy and Lam
s.ngburgh road pays III per cent, semi-annu-
al the Utica and Burlington 20 per cent,
and we believe none in operation pay less
than 10 per cent and none Of the stocks can
be bought in the market
Tie importance Of plank roads IN farming
regions becomes seii-evident, when il Is stat
ed that on the Sallna road TWO horse team
drew sia, tons of iron twelve miles, without
unusual strain. Fonr and hall tons is an or
binary load and team viii travel with 1t
eight hours per day, four miles an hour, day
alter day. A farmer, in a heavy country,
stated that the tolls paid saved themselves
in the labor Of cleaning horses. In all To-
calilies where these roads are in operation,
land rises graatly in value. On the Salina
road farm land rose from SO to Slo per acre;
on the Syrancus road the increase was SlO
per acre. 1t will be observed that an amount
OF property equal 10 S4, OOO,OO bearing
high rate of interest, has been created, ana
that property has adie in addition sc 'eral
millions 10 the value of the land through
ShIch it runs. and that all this property Is
mere saving from the old cost OF transporta-
ton. As the existence aDd operation o. these
roads is but little known out oil their local.

and ofcourse subjected to all the evils which have
been found to attend the amalganation OF the two
departments in the same building, and under the
came government, now enjoys the prlyilegeot OF a
separate establishment, without losing those winch
reaultfrom it's relation to the College proper.
A large and elegant cdiice, with all the neces-
sary fixtures of complete boa ardin tnhlishment
has been erected anG furnished, in which the stu
dents of the Academy board, under the immediate

other department. The furniture OF the study
rooms and dormitories has been chosen with pecu-
liar reference to com fort and convenience
| and no expense has been spared in providing the
apparatus necessaryto render the means
| tion complete; giving TO Newark Academy faclll-
ties for priyate study and comfortable accomnoda-
tion of students. fully equal to those afforded by
many of our colleges
From itsntimate relationto The College students
OF the Academy enjoy many advantages not gen
orally obtained at institutions OF this KIND ihose
| who wish to pursue some particular branch "hlch
falls more properly within the College course, may
be admitted to recte in any of the College classes

commendation of the Principal, and PERMISSION OF
the Faculty, ina enjoy the OF the College LII
brary without additional charge. Admission also
