EBY REQUEST.
DESTRUCTION RAILROAD.

The following is a good thing from Fisk's Fami-
" Journal. Young man, are you ticketed through
on the above named road? There are, in the
Northwest, large number of directors:
The directors take pleasure in re-assuring nu-
merous friends and patrons that the Road to, Rum
is now in good order. Within the last three
months it has carried more than three Aundred
thousand passengers clear through the town OF
Temperance to the city of Destruction, while the
number of way passengers is encouraging. An
enormous amount of freight, such mechanic S
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 declare dividend of 5000 per cent. The track
has been much improved, and relaid with Messrs
Dabolus & Co. patent rail. The grades are re-
duced to a dead level and the switches brought to
such perfection along the route to jerk the cars
in moment from the main track, to avoid COLI
sion with the Total Abstinence engine and the
Temperance trains which recently occasOned so
much trouble. Ia short, We have spared ex-
pense to make it superior to any other road to
Ruin established. 1t gives us great pleasure
to call the Attentions uf tie public to the improve
ments In our engine and cars The old tavorite
locomotive, 1tcOh0', has fire chamber of double
capacity, aud patent dryin wheels, after the
fashion OF old Juggernant. Our wine-cars are
models If uxurieut conveyances, after the fashion
of the far-famed London gin-palaces, where ladies'
and gentlemen Of the first water can have all at
tention. To keep up with the spirit of the times,
our whiskey, rum and brandy cars have been great
ly enlarged, and fare reduced to halt price Our
cider, porter and beer cars are exciting great at
tenton among the children. Our experienced
engineer, Mr. Belial, and our polite and gentle
manly conductor, MIR Mix, have been too long
known to the travelling public to need any COM
mendation Indeed, 50 swift and sparkling are
our trains that some have called it 1.-The flying
artillery Of hell let loose on the earth" Tickets
must be obtained of Mr. Mix, at the Drinkers
Hotel, where you may see the following extract
of charter:

To bring disease and want and woe;
