DESTRUCTION RAILROAD.

The Directors take pleasure in reassuring
their numerous friends aud patrons, that the
Road to Ruin is now iu good order. With
in 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 passengers is encouraging. An enormous
amount of freight, such as mechanics tools,
household furniture, and even whole farms,
have gone forward and the receipts OF the
year have been so large that the Directors
have resolved to declare dividend of i've
hundred per cent. The track has been much
improved, and relaid with Messrs. Diabolus
& Co. s patent rail. The grades are reduced
to dead level and the switches brought to
such perfection all along the route, as to
Jerk the cars IN moment from the main
track, to avoid collision with the total Abb
stinence engine and the Temperance trains
which have 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 10 our engines and cars
The old favorite Observation-Disclosures
a fire chamber of double capacity, and pat
ent .driviag-wheels after the fashion Of Old
Juggernaut: Our wine-carsare models OF
luxurious conveyance, after the patgern OF
the far-famed London Gin Palaces, where
ladies and children and gentlemen, of the
first water can have all attention. To keep
up with the spirit of the times, our whlskey,
rum, and brandy cars have been greatly en-
larged, and fare reduced to half:price. Our
cider, porter, ard beer cars are exciting
great attention among the children. Our
experienced engineer, Mr. Belial, and our
polite and gentlernanly conductor, Mr. Mix,
have been too long known to the travelling
public to need any cemmendation. Indeed,
so swift and sparkling are our trains through
all our towns and villages, that some have
called it "The flying artillery Of hell let
loose on earth" Tickets mast always be
procured of Mr.. Mix, at the Drinkers Ho-
tel, where you may see the following extract
