DEAR SR:-Tn consultation with the
leading men of Bridgeport and Wheeling
find that the question hHs been sprung
rs regards the terminus OF the Wheeling,
IIOprdale g. Lake Shore Railroad. l
wish to here state, that we rs commit
tee have never had any idea or plan
other than that the road should terminate
at Wheeling or Bridgeport. That was
and is u matter for you to determine.
have no doubt but what the line can be
shortened very materially by IL survey
from the mouth of Pincy Fork across to
the river at some point above Bridgeport,
either above or below Martinsville. These
arc questions would say could only be
determined finally by the company, the
question OF connecting our line at Port
land was only one OF eXpedienCy, rs we
thought the River Road could he leased
on reasonable terms by the company on
its final organization. This with the
question Of u bridge is not or ought not to
be discussed 10 the injury OF the project,
and would be only a question Of time rs
several years have elapsed since some 3
or 1 bridges have been projected across
the Ohio only one Of which has been fin
ished. 1t would take between two and
tue millions OfdOlIarS tn connect Wheeling
by bridge,cnough build and equip the fit
IT, mile OF road talked Of, when for all praC-
ticable purposes for the present such n con-
ncction, VIC think, might be made, as
Bridgeport and Wheeling are virtually
one us regards tue interest arising there
from; and, il you divide this interest, you
must undoubtedly weaken or probably kill
the goose Mat lrdHtS to lay yOW tho golden
eggs. We have demonstrated that good
line can be obtained ria Hopcdalc, and
we have secured the pledge of East
ern capitalists ut $4,000 per mile,
and an assurance Ivy mail today that
they think well of our plans. and will aid
and assist us all in their power. II the
cities mentioned, MartinsvilC and Bridge
port, would now come out by pledge for
the remaining sum, the road would soon
be built.
Yours, truly, \. B. PAUL,
Sec. W., H. ant L. S. Il. II. 70.

A N ABSOLUTE SAFEGUARD.

IL
Iuvalds, broken down In health aud spirits by
Chronic Dyspepsia, or suffering from the terrible
exhaustion which follows the attacks OF acute
disease, the testimony Of thousands who have
been raised as by a miracle from similar state
OF prosuatlOn by IIOstettcr'S Stomach OiI'crs, Is
a sure guarantee that by the same means yVu to-
may be strengthened and restored. But to those
who stand In peril of epldemics, to all who, BY
reason Of exposure, privatIons, and uncongcnial
climate or unhealthy pursuits, may ut any mo-
ment be stricken down, this paragraph Is most
particularly and eDlphGdedVy addressed. You,
who are thus situated, are prOGcEed an absolute
safeguard against the danger that ncuaces you.
Tone and regulate the system with this harmless
medicinal Stimulant and Alternative, and you will
be fOrcaHmed against the malAdies whose seeds
hOGt around you In the air unseen. Hostctter's
Stomach BIttcrs are not only standard Tonic
and Attentive throughout the United States, but
they are accredited By the certificates Of the most
distinguished citizens Of the Union to the pcO'
pie Of all other lands. In Canada, Australia aud
the West Indies, they are gradually taking place
OF all other stomachics. whether native or for
elgn, and Is surely as truth Is progressive and

stOrative now employed in medicinal practice.
