the Legislature of the State, that the road is
in a mcst Aourishing condition. Since the
last meeting of your body, thousands have
taken Through tickets and have been safely
conveyed to the city of Destruction, while
the number Of way" passengers has been
almost incredible. An enormous amount
of freight, such as tools, household furniture,
clothing, &c., has also gone forward asd
from these and other sources Of revenue the
receipts have been so large, that the Direc
tors have resolved to declare a dividend Of at
least Eve hundred per cent.
Meanwhile, immense expenditures have
been made in various parts of the road, to
render it a favorite with the travelling public,
Many Of the grades have been altered and SC
reduced, that onlya practical eye can discern
the difference between them and the dead
level. Much Of the track that was vorr
