RoAD.-Ihe transfer of this road to the
Pennsylvania Central Railroad Company has
been consummated, aud the essees win take
possession at an early day. The road has
been in operation about three years and
being local enterprise it is with much regret
that our citizens learn Gifts transfer to other
hands. II has been leased for ninety-nine
years, but according to stipulations contained
therein, the lessees can give it up at any time
after the cnd of six years, which they will
doubtless do should il not prove TO be a nav
ing institution. The lessees also bind them
selves to pay the floating debt of the road,
which amounts to over one hundred thousand
dollars, and meet the interest on is first and
second mortgage bonds. The Stockholders,
including the Corporation Of this city, stand
in the same relation to the road now that they
did before the transfer. IL the earnings Weld
Il surplus over and above expenses Of course
they will be entitled to receive their share Of
the dividends. The company, so far, has
declared no dividends, and il depends upon
what success it meets with in the future,

1 Loats and the Board Of Directors have de.
voted their best energies to the business of
the company. They were untiring in their

better than no bread, they seem unwilling to
risk the future freezing, and take it as II Is.
