DESTRUCTION RAILROAD.


The Directors take pleasure in re assuring
their numerous friends and patrons that the
Road to Ruin is now in good order.
Within the last three months it has car
r!ed more than three hundred thousand pas
sengers clear through from the town of Tenn.
perance to the city of Destruction, while
the number Of way passengers is encourag-
Ing.
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
hat the Directors have resolved to declare
dividend Of five hundred per cent. The
track has been much improved, and re-laid
with Messrs. Dabous 4 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 ears in mo-
ment from the main track, to avoid collision
with the Total Abstinence engine and the
Temperance train which have recently oc-
casoned so much trouble. In short, we
have spared no expense to make it superior
10 any other Road to Ruin ever established.
1t gives us great pleasure to call the atten-
tion OF the public to the improvements in
our engines and cars. The old ayorite To-
omotye--Alchohoi--h fire chamber Of
double capacity, and patent driving wheels
after the fashion Of old Juggernaut. Our
wine cars are models of laxurious convey
ance, after the pattern of the far-fameI Lon
don Gin Palaces where ladies and children
and gentlemen Of the first water can have
all attention. To keep up with the snirit
Of the times, our whskey, rum a.d s...ndy
cars have been greatly enlarged and fare
reduced to half price. Our cider and beer
cars are exciting attention among the chill
dren.
Our experienced engineer, Mr.. BeIial, and
our polite and gentlemanly conductor. MIR.
Mix, have been too long known to the tras.
cling public TO need any recommendation.
Indeed, so swift and sparkling are our trains
through all our towns and villages, that some
have called 1t 4" The flying artillery Of hell
let loose on the EARTH" Tickets must al
ways be procured Of MIR. Mix at the Drink
er's Hotel, where you may see the following
extract from our charter from Government:
Licensed to make a strong man weak:
Licensed to lay wise man low;
Licensed wife's fond heart TO break.
