now calculate with a certainty that The entire

two years from this time, the cars will be
plying regularly between Tie ST. Landry ter
minus and Aigiers.
Never, we are cretlibly Informed, have the

the most Important roads Of the South, been
40 lat%tering-al due to the energy, perseyer-
ance, and Management of The President aud
