II is intended to have complete reorganization OF
the Harlem Railroad Companys management,
change which has been for sometime much needed
Most of the members of the present Board have but
small interest in the road, and pay but little attention
TO their duties new ticket, of which we annex a
eopv. will be chosen at the coming election, upon
which are only four of the old Directors Messrs. Wet
more. Edmonds, Brooks and Aiken Among the new
members will be found three very prominent citizens,
G.. Vanderbilt George Law and Daniel Drew There

the latter Company justly for the use Of their track

We saw yesterday in Brooklyn machine for cutting
and dressing granite, which, to our unmechanical ap
prehenson, promises to be very valuable. We shall
publsh in few days full description of this machine
but in the mean time give the annexed statement Of
the inventor, Mr.. George an unpretending black

hand dressing and that il does not dull the tools We
saw chisel which had passed over the whole length
