The following article was published in
the JOURNAL some time ago, but as it has
been sent to us by subscriber with request
to publish, we again give it place. 1t
maybe often read, with profit. There are
number Of station houses for this railroad
in our town. .., I'LL. .
. DESTRUCTION RAILROAD.0 sl
Tie directors take pleasure in re-assuring
numerous f-iends and parties that the Road
to Ruin is now in good order Within the
last three months it has carried more than
three hundred thousand passengers clear
through from the town of Temperance to
the city of Destruction, while the number
Of wayApassengers is encouraging. An
enormous amount Of freights, such as me-
chanics tools, household furniture, and even
whole farms, have gone forward; and the
receipts of the year have boen 50 large that
the directors have resolved to declare div
idend of 500 per cent. The track has been
much improved, and relaid with Messrs. Dia-
bolus d Cos. patent rail. The grades are
reduced to dead level, and the switches
brought to such perfection along the route
as to jerk the cars in moment from the
main track, to avoid collision with the Total
Abstinence engine and the Temperance
trains which recently occasioned so much
trouble. In short, we have spared no ex-
pense to make it superior to any other road
to Ruin ever established. 1t gives US great
pleasure to call the attention of the public
to the Improvements in our engines and cars.
The old faverite locomotive AlcokoI has a
fire chamber of double capacity, and patent
driving wheels, after the fashion of old
Juggernaut. Our wine cars are models Of
luxurious conveyance, after patterns of far
famed London gin-palaces, where ladies and
gentlemen Of the first water can have all
attention. To keep up with the spirit Of
the times our whiskey, rum and brandy cars
have been greatly enlarged, and fare reduced
to half price. Our cider, porter and beer
cars are exciting great attention among the
children.
Our experienced engineer Mr.. Belial, and
our polite and gentlemanly conductor, Mr..
Mix, have been known too long to the trav-
cling public to need any commendation.-
Indeed, so swift and sparkling are our trains
that some have called them, "the flying ar
tillery Of death let loose on earth" Tick
cts must be obtained of Mr.. Mix, at the
Drinkers Hotel, where you may see the
following exttact from our charter from gov.
ernment:
Licensed to make strong man weak;
Lcensedto lay strong man low;
Licensed a. wife's fond heart to break, .. d..
And make her children's tears to Cow.
Licensed to do thy neighbor harm,
Licensed to foster hate and strife;
Licensed to nerve the robbers arm;
Licensed to whet the murderer'sknife
Licensed where peace and quiet dwell,
To bring disease and want, aud woe;
Licensed to make this world hell,
And bsnish joy and peace below.
