,sceipts of the month are, on this account, much
smaller than they otherwise would have been.
The Syracuse star says 1.-The Ithaca
and Owego Railroad earned in the last 9 months
1000. The receipts appear to be sufficient to
enable the Company to pay = cent. per annum

The Directors of the Erie Railroad have
issued the annexed spicy and conclusive Gard in re-
ply TO the resolutions Of the late meeting IN Rock
land Co. held to protest against the policy OF the
Erie Road in taking its passengers by the shortest
route to the City. This Road will come in direct
competition this year with the well managed and
well appointed line of Roads from Buffalo to Al
bany and it is vitality necessary that it should i'm
prove all its facilities TO sustain itself in the con-
test. To propose that it should throw away an
opportunity of saving an hour and half OF raining
time for the purpose Of benefting Permont is
simply ridiculous:
