These trains leave Cincinnati at SIS p.
NJ, Dayton At 3, and make Sandusky ID ,
Z. NJ, connecting north with all the TX
press lines East aud West. The road il
in excellent order and has but few curvas
lures, consequently the highest speed may
be attsined without danger. All who
travel this route Will acknowledge that
there is less annoyance from dust thsn on
almost any other, and the country through
which Il passes is not surpassed for ieg-
tility and beauly-and there is no section
Of the State more highly cultivated. Az
this time lhe bountilul harvest OF grain
aud grass with which the country il
blessed, along the road looks magnificent.
The most Of the wheat is cut, sud We
never before saw the shocks so thick
upon the ground. Fruit too is quite
abundant, and the peach orchards, Of
which there are many, give promise OF an
abundant yield.
However much stockholders Of railroads
may complain, the farmers and the coun-

wo were foroibly reminded Of few dag
since by observing the extra. sdinars
growth Of the country through WA,sh
lth6 Mad River and Lake Erie Railroad
passes. Five years ago this road passed
through miles Of continued wilderness,
with here aud there a small log house and
a few acres cleared. Now the whole
country is dotted with thriving villages
aud highly improved farms. The log
house Is giving away to the handsome
brick dwelling, and the owners Of land
which they bought at from s rs 10 2. 50
per acro, can now readily sell for from
$50 10, in many instances, $40 per acre.
Land in no part Of tho world has risen 50
rapidly as ii has in Ohio since the intro
duoton Of railroads. We are glrd 10 per-
coive, however, that there is prospect
now that stockholders in all Of the rail-
roads have at last a prospect Of receiving
some remuneration foe their enterprise
and capital, particularly on the Cincin-
natl, Dayton. Mad River and Lake Erie
railroads. The administration Of Super
intendent O. @. Dennis, has been eminent

the M. II. q L. e. road, the receipts have
been greatly increased and the expendi-
lures diminished. He has shown to the
satisfaction of the public that he UNDER
stands his business, is 4 working man,
and requires every one employed on the
road 10 follow his example. No accidents
now happen. His engineers aud conduct
tors are all men Of sober habits Aifable.
