Il NJ. G. L. R corporation shows its gen
crosby! Great excitement prevails aifffa

the Old NJ, G r. r. Stockholders inv-
ted freely and Of their own accord to take
a ride |! How kind. how generous, how
noble. how good! But stop, stakeholder,
why that changeSof countenance? Why
that downcast eye, that for moment
sparkled radiant beams of effected pleas
ure? Be it resolved by the Board &c,
that we cordially invite the stockholders Of
the NJ. CIR. R. to Alexandra. without
money, without price, provided that upon
their arrival, they relinquish their stock.
Yet we have, been informed that those
who have been so generous and are now
so fortunate as to have and hold as many
as FIVE shares in the Old Road will be en-
titled to take and hold one share in the
New. But the excitement has subsidized

We have had the pleasure to note Gf
true) what the world has hitherto. regard
ed as altogether impractical BILE, and may be
considered the most immense stride Of civ
ilization that ages have been privileged to
chronicle The important, and assiduous-
ly sought discovery of perpetual motion,
49,
by Francisco Estrada, Jr.. Of Mexico,
who has invented machine which moves
spontaneously and continually by alter
nate reproduction ofmotion and electrici-
ty. Electricity starts the motion and the
motion produces electricity and ceases on
ly with the destruction of the apparatus.
Is this not plausible? When he shows
that electricity, magnetism, light, motion.
and heat are one and the same element on
ly under different form. But strange
it is that it emenates from dark. deluded,
benighted, woe-be-gone, uncivilized and
unenlightened Mexico. A-E~.t,
Our frlena OF the upper county gives
US piece of what he calls good advice,
and charges us nothing for his profered
kindness. Well, VIC take it rs postu-
late that he is fulfilling the scriptures,
and exclaime-Dear s., ''thou almost
pursuadest us to be &c" and if he will en-
dorss and corroborate the testimony of a
deponent that hath said and declared thus ::
'"When beautiful sweet six teen e tines)
possessing the digni6ed title of wife, and
with the innocence Of lamb steps closely
up to your framework, presses her soft
lilly white arms around your alabaster
neck, throws back her auburn ringlets,
raises her angelic form upon / her little
toes, places her heasing bosom against
your vest pattern, and with her red, rosy,
posy, pouty, peaches and cream, straw
berry, apple dumping, soda water, maple
molasses, fruit cake, belona sausage, nee
tar pulverized sugar lips, holds your coat
tail and kisses you smack we say, if
our frined T. viii verify this by his own
affidavit, it is very probable that we'll,
be very strongly tempted to consid-
er the matter, id est, only the first part Of
his advice totally rejecting the rest.
If,the Editor please, we would publish
through his columns the fact that we at
last, after much diligence exerted, have
discovered an s3efectual remedy for the
distressing epidemic, Crecian bend, to
wit seventeen inhalations Of Hartshorn.
