The first instalment of the semiannual interest
upon the Cincinnati, Peru and Chicago Railway first
mortgage bonds, will be due and paid on and after
the first day of March, at the Corn Exchange Bank
William street. Great credit is due to the officers of
this new railroad company, nasmuch as they COM
menced their enterprise just as the finances of the
country became depressed, and during the past two
years of gloom and difficulty in railroad matters
they have steadily progressed with their work, and
have met every engagement promptly at maturity.
They have now about completed the northern d.
vision of their road from Laporte to Plymouth,
where they expect the Fort Wayne and Chicago
Company will meet them by the first of June, thus
forming through line of road from all the eastern
cities to Chicago This connection will be important
to the Ohio and Indiana and the Fort Wayne and
Chicago roads, giving them Immediately the advan-
tages of through line. These roads, passing as
they do through the very best portions of Ohio and
Indiana and being the shortest route from Philade
phia and Pttsbnrg to Chicago, must do large and
profitable business. No roads in the West have
brighter prospects than these.
