order. Within the last three months
it has carried more than three hundred

passengers is encouraging. An enor-
nous amount Of freight, such as me-
chanics' tools, household furniture, and
even whole farms, have gone forward /;
and the receipts of the year have been
so large that the directors have resolv-
ed to declare dividend of 500 per cent.
The track has been much improved, and
re-laid with Messrs. Diabolus g. Co. s
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 spar
ed no expense 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 improve
ments III our engines and cars. The
old favorite locomotive, Aicoh0z, has a
fire chamber Of double capacity, and pa
tent driving-wheels, after the fashion OF
old Juggernaut. Our wine-ears are
models of luxurious conveyance, after
the patterns Of the far-famed London
gin-p palaces, where ladies and gentlemen
OF the first water can have all attention.
To keep up with the spirit Of the times,
our whisky, rum, ard 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 too long known to the travelling
public to need any commentator. In.
deed, so swift and sparkling are oul
trains, that some have called it "The
flying artillery of death let loose on the
earth" Tickets must be obtained OF
