carried this year than the year before, whilst there has been an increase in coal and manganese. Of cattle there have been three hundred and ninety-five head, or two hundred and thirty-seven tons. The tonnage westward in merchandize has been nine thousand seven hundred and ten tons this year, against nine thousand eight hundred and twenty-four tons of last year. There has been an increase in the revenue from passengers of $2,625 80, the amount from that source this year being $ 26,487 17, against $23,861 37 last year. The revenue of the road has been disbursed in accordance with the treasurer's statement B, being part of his report made herewith. In the item of motive power is included the purchase of a new locomotive engine, and in that of repairs is included the iron and other materials purchased to complete the reconstruction of the road. The whole road has now been relaid. The company have six locomotive engines in running order; forty large freight cars; four pas senger cars, with abundant materials in the form of duplicates and otherwise, so as to preclude the idea that it cannot promptly discharge all its obligations to the public. The road has been worked during the last year at a monthly expense not exceeding thirty-six hundred dollars. There has been no accident during the year by which any person has been at all injured or any material loss sustained. The passenger trains have been run at an average speed of two hours and five minutes, including stoppages, and there has been but one failure of the mail on this road during the year. The whole buisness of the year has been transacted with a loss and damage account of thirty-nine dollars and twenty-eight cents. A dividend of six per cent. was declared on the 1st of May last, and an additional one of six per cent. is declared, and payable on the 1st of November. And there is no reason to anticipate any change in this respect in the condition of things. All which is respectfully reported. W. L. CLARK, President. [ A.] TREASURER'S STATEMENTS.
