The following is good thing from Fsk's
Family Journal. Young men, are you ticketed
through on the above named road? There are,
in the Northwest, large number of directors:
The directors take pleasure in reassuring
numerous friends and patrons 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 Dcstruc-
| ton, while the number OF way passengers is en-
couragiSS. A numerous 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 declares dividend
of 500 per cent. The track has been much i'm.
proved, and relaid with Mcssrs. Diabolus & Co. s
patent rail. The grades are reduced to Il dead
! level, aud the switches brought to such periec-
ton along the route as TO jerk the cars in Il mo
ment from the main track, to avoid collision
with the Total Abstinence engine aid the Temper
ance trains which recently occasioncd so much
| trouble. In short, we have spared no expense
to make it superior to any other rond 10 Ruin
ever established. II gives us great pleasure to
call the attention Of the public TO the improve
ments in our engines and cars. The old favorilc
locomotive, Alcohol has fire chamber of
double capacity, and patent driving wheels,
after the fOshion of old Juggernaut Our wine
cars are models of luxurious conveyance, after
| the patients of the farlamed London gin-pnlaces
| where ladies and gentlemen Of the first wafer
can have all attention. TO keep u2 with the
! spirit of the times, our whisky, rum, and BRAN
dy cars have been. greatly enlarged, and fare re-
duced 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 gentlcmanly conduc-
tor, Mr. Mix, have been too long knoRn to the
travelling public To need any commendation.-
Indeed so swift and sparkling are our trains that
some have called it "The flying artillery of hell
let loose on the carh." Tickets must be
obtained Of Mr.. Mix, at the Drinkers Hotel,
