Destruction, while the number of way passen-
gers is encouraging. An enormous amount
oI freight, such as mechanics tools, household
furniture, and even whole farms, have gone

The track has been much improved, and relaid
with Messrs. Dabolus and Company's patent
rail. The grades are reduced TO desd level,
and the switches brought to such perfecnon ul
