Raleigh and CASTOR Railroad.

A meeting of the directors of this Road was held
in this City on Tuesday last-present, DIR. w. y.
Hawkins, President, and Messrs. Alfred Jones, Geo.
w. Mordecai, G. H. Wilder John G. King, Thomas
Miller, and Allen c. Perry.
We learn that dividend of six per cent. was de-
cared for the past year, amounting to about $751;
600, of which the State will receive about 10000.
The sum of Sc, 900 was also carried to the sinking
fund of the Road, which is now about S2S,OCO. This
fund is accumulating for the pur of dscharging
the debt of the Company of 100000 The debt of
the Company at this time is, therefore, really only
$4,000.
We learn that the current expenses of the Road
for the past year were $4,000, and the extraordi
nary expenses, on account of repairs between Gas
ton and Weldon and the CASTOR bridge, $4,000.
The income of the Road the past year $2o4 900,
being an increase of about $21 600 the preced
ing year.
But for the extraordinary expenses referred to, a
dividend of six per cent. would no doubt have been
declared for the fiscal year preceding the which
has just expired.
The Road is now in excellent order-the freights
and travel are increasing and its marked prosperity
furnishes the best evidence of the able and energetic
manner in which its affairs have been conducted.
We learn that the Castor bridge has been SO far
completed that the cars passing over it, meeting
the Petersburg cars. The understanding was that
the old Greenve Road was to be repaired and laid
with heavy iron as the CASTOR bridge was
finished, or as thereafter practcabe but
there are indications yet we learn, of the con-
templated and much needed improvement in the
Greenville Road.
The $50, 900 above referred to the States por-
ton of the Raleigh and CASTOR dividend will be the
first item of income of the Sinking Fund authorized
bv the last Legislature If the North Carolina Road
should declare dividend, during the ensuing winter
or spring, of six per cent the States million of
preferred stock in that Road--and the general i'm
preston seems to be that it will do this and proba
bly, more-the Sinking Fund will amount, by the
meeting of the next Legislature, to between one
hundred and twenty and one hundred and fifty
thousand dollars.

nR. CHARLES II. TOZER'S CARD to the
~ afflicted of California. In approaching any
new course of systematic inquirJ, there are
certain points concerning which the inquirer
should always be careful to satisfy himself.
He should comprehend distinctly what the sub
ject of inquiry is-EIealth and Disease.
If we can form and fix in our minds clear
conception of the state of Health we shall have
no difficulty in understanding what is meant
by disease But beyond, though not above, these
objects of Investigation of the human body, we
have another ana still nobler end 1t is to lay
before you in such plain terms that you cannot
me Dlistahen and will know where to apply for
relief.
use the word DISEASE generally, and before
/ speak of the signs of particular diseases, it
will be proper to take a general view of symp-
toms. When person is troubled or afflicted
with disease, which causes weakness of the
back and limbs, pain in the head, dimness of
sight, loss of muscular power, palptatiQn of
the heart, irritablity. nervousness, dyspepsia,
derangement of the digestive functions, gener-
al debility symptoms of consumption and many
others which are better explained than put on
paper. and require Medical or Surgical attendance
it would be well for them to inquire if there is
a physician who is competent to attend them,
and who understands the application of medi-
cine and whose Scientific Attainments in his pro-
fesson and whose age and experience entitle
him to your confidence. Considering these things,
Dr. Charles IL. TOZer has concluded 10 INFORM
