running behind time. Waiting at stations an
hour after due, is of frequent occurrence
This, we are told is the result of the length of
trains and the large amount of travel Twelve
and fifteen well loaded coaches are frequently
to be seen. Business is unusually heavy, even
for this season of the year, both in the passen-
ger and freight traffic, and as these things leg-
timately and directly affect dividends, stock
holders may take courage.
"GIvE THE PALM WHERE JUSTICE POINTS IT
DUE."-In the last Telegraph Mr.. TYLER was
credited with the superintendent of the Joiner
work upon the TYLER building. The state
ment was made upon what was assumed to be,
rather than from the result ofinquiry We have
since learned that Capt. HARDY, was the archi-
tect and builder, and we are glad to make the
correction and give him the credit that proper

REAL ESTATE TRANsFERs-P. j. RICE, has
sold out the north half of Phoenix Foundry
to w. A. ELLIS, for the sum of $4,000.
The Gleason homestead has been purchased
by Capt Ed. PIERCE, at the sum of S2,386.
This is decided bargain-indeed, both these
pieces of property have been sold at very mod
crate figures. There is at present considera-
BILE village property in market, and there has
not been for long time, SO favorable an op
portunlty for investment. The present dc :
pressed prices cannot long continue. Our
steady growth as shown by the census. and our
prospective accelerated advance, as seen by the
eye OF faith in the early completion of the
roads terminating at this place. will soon place
real estate at much higher rates than now rule.
ANOTHER LINK To THE JAMESTOWN BRANCH.
The survey has been made and right of way
secured for seven mile extension from Oil
City to Petroleum Centre, along the valley of
Oil Creek. The eight miles to Oil City, built
and put into operation last year has almost at
once commanded large amount of the car
rying traffic in oil, running over the Piltsburs

the stockholders As Cleveland is the great
point of the country for refining crude oil, il

between that road running into the oil regions,
and the Lake Shore, such, RS would be sup

There is hardly doubt, but that the demon

such link, will secure its construction We
have been told that the Lake Shore officers
have recognized the obligation of redeeming
all pledges entered into in securing the contri-
buttons and right of way OF this road. on the
ground of good faith. If to this obligation, is
added the potent one Of pecuniary advantage,
the certainty of the finishing up of this road
in which our people arc so deeply interested,
and at no distant day, is greatly increased,
and the fixed fact of an Ashtabula connection
with the coal fields of Pennsylvania brought
much nearer to realization. y
