We copy the following advertisement
from the ''Tioga Advertiser" for the bene-
fit Of all who desire to travel on that route.
1t is-proper TO say that the name Of the
road is Destruction, and that there are no
free tickets, each passenger being expected
to pay all he is worth by way of fare
This, however, is no objection, as none
ever return, and will have no use for
money at the end of the journey. The
President aud Vice President, whose names
are subscribed below, have not issued their
advertisement in printed form, but by their
actions thus appeal to the public:
"The Directors take pleasure in re-assur-
ing their numerous friends and patrons,
that the Road to Ruin is now IN good or
der. Within the last three months it has
carried more than three hundred MOuSand
passengers clear through from The town of
Temperance to the city of est!uction,
while the number of way passengers is en-
couraging. An enormous amount of
! freight, such as mechanics s tools, house
hold furniture, and even whole farms, have
gone forward; aud the receipts of the year
have been so large that the Directors have
resolved to declare dividend of five hun
dred per cent. The track has been much
improved, and relaid with Messrs. Diabo-
| lus S Co.'S patent rail- The grades are
reduced 10 dead level, and the switches
brought to such perfection all along the
route, as 10 jerk the cars in moment
from the main tack, to avoid collision with
the Total Abstinence engine and the Tenn
perance trains which have recently caused
so much trouble. In short, we have spared
no expense 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 improvements in our engines
and cars. The old favorite locomotive
AIcOhol-has fire chamber Of double Ca
pacity, and patent driving wheels after the
fashion of old Juggernaut. Our wine-cars
are models Of luxurious conveyance, after
the far-iam ed 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
whisky, rum and brandy cars have been
greatly enlarged, ard fare reduced to half
price. Our cider, porter and beer cars
are exciting great attention among the
children. Our experienced engineer, Mr..
Belial, and urpolte and gentlemanly con-
ductor, Mr. Mix, have been too long known
to the travelling public to need any com
mendation. Indeed so swift and spark
ling are our trains through all our towns
and villages, that some have called it
"The flying artillery of hell let loose on
the earth"
Tickets must always be procured of Mr.
Mix, at the Drinkers Hotel. where you
may see the following extract from our
charter from Government:
"Lieenscd to make strong man weak;
| Licensed to lay wise man low;
Licensed a wifc's fond heart to break,
And make her children's tears to flow.
! Licensed . do your neighbor harm
! Licensed to foster hate aud strife;

. And ii. man for 4 hell bclow.''
