C. 0. r. R.-lTs CONNECTIONS AND BUsINEss-
The remarkable prompiness o the Central road
in the transmission of freight and passengers sui
continues until the regul arty OF the arrival OF 1t;
trains and the certainty of its connection with the
Baltimore road at thi. point has passed into pro
verb. During .he month of January last the East
ward bound Express train on the Central road
missed but one connection with the Baltimore TX
press.
The freight business of the road is also remark
ably heavy. They transporting large amounts
of dry goods Westward, received from the Eastern

onday the receipt. of freight at this Station were
fifty five car loads for the West, and we are in
formed that the earnings of the road on freight
shipped from this Stauon, on Saturday last, were
one thousand collars The l-rges: amount Of
earnings for sny ons day for this road for more
th an three years. They have o. ten carried great
er number Of tons Of freight in one day, but the
freight moving now is OF higher class, and pays
heavier rate for transportation.
With an abundpnt crop throughout Central Ohio
and he NJ lssissippi Valley and the Central road,
maintaining its present itenviabe reputation for
prompiness in the dispatch oil freight, this road
must be paying institution.
