JEFFERSON AND LAKE PoNTcHARTRAIy Rail.
koAD.--We were fortunate yesterday in being
one among the many persons who took advan
tage Of an invitation from the Directors of tn,
Jefferson and Lake Pontchartrain Railroad I,
ride to the Lake on the first trip of the cars
Leaving the depot at Tivoh Circle at or about
IL o'clock, we were soon set down in safety on
the shore Of the Lake and, after enjoying a
quiet stroll, were summoned, in company Of
some one hundred and fifty others, to suInp-
tuous repast, spread on the balcony of the COM
modious house recently erected for the accom-
mediation Of visitors
The table, extending the entire length of
the balcony, was spread with every delicacy
in and out of season, in the most profuse album
dance; and FISH, flesh and fowl, to say nothing of
che viands and spiritual ingredients, were dis
cussed with great gusto and evident good relish
by allpresent. An hour, or perhaps more, spent
1t table quickened thought anc impaired vivid
ness to the imagination, and feast of reason
and flow of sentiment followed. At an early
hour in the afternoon, the company, highly de-
lighted with their trip, returned to the city
q right side up with care,' and separated to
their respective homes, fully impressed with the
safety and substantial character of the jefferson
and Lake Pontchartrain Railway, and with the
hberality and public spirit of its Directors.
The road in question is one of the most sub,
stsntial in the neighborhood of NewOrleans, and
win no doubt prove one of the most popular
pflets during the coming summer months
