WILMINGTON AND READING RAIL
ROAD,

The Board OF Directors of the wilmington
and Reading Railroad, assembled in Phila-
delphia, on Tuesday last, and elected Ed.
ward Brooke, of Birdsboro', President, aud
William S. Hilles, of this city, Secretary and
Treasurer.
As to Mr.. Brooke's qualifications for the
nosition. our information is limited, but we
are told that he has been for sometime iden-
tilted with the railroad interests OF Penn
svlyania, is athorough.going, energetic bust
ness man, and in his hands the interests OF
the stockholders are placed with the assur'
ance that no effort will be spared on lis part,
to render the road entirely successful.
No beuer selection could have been made
for Secretary and Treasurer, than VIM ;.
Hilles, of oug city. Mr.. Hilles was one o.
the earliest advocates of the building OF
railroad to connect the populous counties o
Pennsylvania with Wilmington, and labored
zealously for the consummation Of the work
To him in great measure, those who wal
be most benefited by this great enterprise
are indebted for the ultimate SUCCESS OF tn
project. Each failure to secure the CO
operation of business men and capitalists
y wears past, in favor of this road, on'
$ served to stimulate Mr. Hilles to renewe
effo,ls in lis behalf, and he continued !
Z, labor with undated zeal, until he ultimatel
Z. convinced the people that their best interes
would he promoted by the building of Il
re proposed road, and secured their active an
Is pecuniary cooperation in the entarlris
To none other then, could the Board
y Directors have committed the discharge
e the important duties deyolving upon Sc
Is retary and Treasurer Of Il Railroad Compal
in than Mr.. IIilles, with The hope that flu
ce would be performed more faithfully or el
GENTLY. He is pre-eminenlly fitted Tor t
n station, and we commend the wisdom al
ny foresight the Board has evnced in select
OF him.
ed At the meeting Of the Board much emil
he siasm was manifested in behalf of the ron
nd and determination expressed to CONNER
iy, operations Immediately, and push ii Iorwi
mo to an early completion
