NECESSITY FOR 1T.

The want of Line of Telegraph, located with
q view to accommodate the river trade, has long
been felt. Many important towns are now with
out any Geographic communication whatever, and
the lines now established between other points
are, in most cases, disconnected, following cir
cuitous routes, hundreds OF miles out OF a direct
course, causing vexatious and unnecessary delays
TO business, by reason of numerous repetitlons,
and the frequent interruptions incident to long
lines. When the facts borne In mind that the
liability of telegraph line to damage from any
cause is increased in the same proportion as Its
length, and that the repetition of message dou-
bes the time necessary for its transmission, the
great and very important advantages Of a direct
route over the circuitous ones now in operation
can readily be seen.

DIVIDE ENDS.

From carefully prepared estimates, based upon
the amount of business done by the companies
now in operation, and giving them an equal share
of the business between competing points, the
company confidently believe that large and re-
munerative dividends be made; and they
further believe that taking into consideration the
great advantages which they will possess in a
short and direct route, they will be able TO secure
nearly all the business along the line. which will
place the stock at high premium, and make il
one of the best Investments to be found.

Is most fattering. The location of the line is
one of the best in the country. 1t passes through
a large number of important cities and towns where
commercial intercourse is large and rapidly in
creasIng. The country along the river is receiv-
ing constant accessions of wealth and population,
and these will bring an increase of trade which
must correspOndingly add largely every year to
the business and profits of the company. AIthe
old telegraph companies throughout the country
are now, and have been, paying satisfactory div
idends, capital stock that has been repeated
eddy watered. If these companies, controlled by
few wealthy individuals owning nearly all the
stock, do this, it is quite reasonable TO sup
pose that company, owned and managed by lis
patrons, with its lines so desrably located and
with limited amount OF stock, can at least dc
equally as well.

beef, there is always difference of two or
three cents per pound, and this difference,
when added to the whole number of pounds

The fact that oats are frequently undigest-

of bruising-for certainly no benefit can be
derived from that which is undigcsted by the

smaller quantity is required to produce the
same ability t. work, when the cats are
