PRovIDBNcB AND WORCESTER RAILROAD
The Directors of this corporation held meeting
at their Office in Providence, on Wednesday,
when Mr.. Baleh, the Treasurer. submitted his an
nual report and semi-annual dividend Of four
per cent. was declared. payable on the 18th of
January. The payment is delayed till that time,
in the expectation that it may then be paid in the
bills Of specie-paying bank. The Treasurer's
accounts audited regularly every month by
an auditing committee of three, and the sigma
ture of two at least Of these is found on every
months account Of the Treasurer. There is also
committee Of three on accounts, and the sigma.
ture of two, at least, these, in addition to that
of the Superintendent, is required on every bill
before it can be paid.
A most rigid system has also been adopted in
relation to the purchase of supplies for the road

Equal to 9 l per cent, on the capital stock.
Notwithstanding the great depression in bust
ness, which in the last two months of the fiscal
year reduced their receipts from last year upwards
of $50, 900, and an expenditure of nearly $4,000
for covering bridges, and about $4,000 for new
coal engines, still the company are enabled from
the earnings of the road to declare another semi
annual dividend of four per cent, making eight
per cent. in the year.
The experiment of burning coal upon this road
proves satisfactory beyond the most sanguine ex-
pections Of the officers of the road. The cost of
fuel was reduced nearly one-half from last year,
notwithstanding about $4,000 worth of wood,
with which the company commenced the year.

confidently expect to operate the road the coming
year at a cost for fuel not exceeding 900. The
fuel of the road for 1856 cost $4,000 Wood en-
gines have been converted into coal-buruers at
cost of less than 800 each. Mr.. Farnum has de.
voted his great business talents to the road with
success that should attract the attention of those
interested in railroads.

1.-THE red slayer thinks he Stays,
Grit the slain think he is slain,
They know not well the subtle ways

The fact is, that Emerson has lately learn
ed the game Of Euchre, and being fascinated
Herewith, wished to express his feelings on
the subject, but being quite unable to do so
in ordinary English, unfortunately got off the
above extremely mystifyied stanza. A little
careful consideration of the terms used con-
vinces one Of this at once. Thus ''the red
slayer refers to the Right Bower Cprobably
the Jack Of Hearts,; "the slain is, undoubt-
eddy, the Lett Bower, not guarded, and you
perceive that Emerson probably euchered his
adversary Sy 'passing," keeping the Ace and
some strong cards, and coming again after the
Bowers were out. Now all this might have
been much more simply expressed, as for in
stance:

II The Right Bower is in one hand.
And the "Left" holds another place,
Ke little know why l did stand,
I hnld fhrau Il. A

This explanation is made to save Emerson's
reputation in the matter he was an old
Schoolmate of mine in former years, and we
were afterwards engaged in the tin business
together-he was always well meaning man,
and It is pity he should be considered fool
on account of some eccentricities of express
sion. Very truly yours, J.P
