intreuption to trade cannot but be
temporary, to'be followed by an increased traf
fic, from the healthy demand South and East,
for tb£ products of the West. With increased
business, from the opening of new trunk lines,
the competition between the roads which, con
tend for the trade, of the West has increased,
but negotiations hare been made tending .to
wards :an amicable adjustment of the ra The
company has made a'discrimination in freight,
in favor of |he steamboats running from Pitts
bprg, which serves to equalize the steamboat
and rail competition at-that‘Point,
The operations of ; the company for 1860 were
as follows:

$585,072,82, the larger,part Doing due to in
crease of local freight. The tonnage of the
road in 1860 was 1,346,625, exclusive of 124,-
597 tons of wood, coal, lumjMr and materials
for the use of ,tbe company, upon which no
charge is made. Entire movement of coal 623,-
223 tons, <i& Increase of 101,698 tons.
Four new locomotives have been added, and
copper fit e-boxes have boon substituted for iron.
The report explains the operations of the dif
ferent departments, motive power, repairs of
tracks, &c M and it is stated 'that bat 68 5-10
miles of track are accessary to complete a doa
ble track throughout the whole line, from Phil
adelphia to Pittsburg. By the .completion of
. engine house and machine shops at Harrisburg,
on Aprtylst, an important saving will be effec
ted in the motive power and transportation de
partments, and the management of the road will
be timplified.
About October Ist, the extension of the line
to the Delaware river will be opened. The
bridge over the Schuylkill has been vigorously
pushed, and the western abutment and pier are
nearly finished. The cost of the tnnsonry of the
bridge will not exceed $lOO,OOO. The iron su
perstructure will be built at the company’s
■hops, and will cost about $40,000. The river
front of the Powelton estate has greatly impro
ved daring the post year, and 'it will soon be
valuable and productive real-estate.

125,494,299 feet, being an increase of 6,419,-

to increase their business and income*

It is not proposed to lay any additional road
superstructure, during the present year, except
what may he necessary to accommodate an in
creased hfiiilness at stations, and' the extensiou
the the road to the Delaware river above the
Sivy Yard.
The report recites the conditions of the lease
for 999 years of the Harrisburg and Lancaster
Railroad, with which our readers are familiar,
and explains the necessity for that lease.
The sinking fund for the redemption of the
second mortgage bond now amounts to $632,-
491, and it may be-judioiously increased by the
transfer to it of the stock bonds of the Pitts
burgh, Fort Wayne and Chicago Railroad, and
other railroads how- held by the company.—
These assets, it Is expected, will, in a few years
be worth the amount they cost the company.—

By'steadily pursuing a financial policy calcu
ted to at tain these objects, the entire debt of the
company in 1876 will be. brought; withm* the
amount of itsfgrOss annnallpoome—a condition
of abundant safety to the! shareholders,, and
which coo be obtained without nnyioterniption

thus diverted from the net revenue of the com
pany can, whenever the amount will justify it,
and the financial condition of the oountry will
render the measure prudent, bo from time to
time ditided among the shareholders in stock.
Th* ro-organizalioD of the Pittsburgh Fort
Way tie and Chicago Kailroad, after a sale by
the bondholders, aod the appointment of new
directors, etc., to operate the rofld, Is next dis
cussed, and the delay in erecting passenger
stations at Philadelphia and Pittsburg is ex
plained, on tho ground that the erection of ex
pensive buildings at locations which may turn
out to be injudicious, would be bad policy. In
regard to the passenger station at Philadelphia,
the directors were originally in favor of loca
ting the station at Twelfth and Market streets,
but since the street railways have afforded such
great facilities ns wo now enjoy, tho board have
reconsidered their determination, and now in
cline to locate it on the fiats adjoining the
Market street bridge, where the comparatively
small value of the property will justify the ex
penditure necessary to bring the ground to tho
level of -the railway. It was not deemed pru
dent, however, to make the outlay the present
year.
The report closes with the discussion of some
minor matters. Appropriate reference is also
made to the death of Vice President Foster, and
complimentary allusion is made to Thomas A.
Scott, JEsq., who has been appointed Vice Presi
dent since the last animal meeting, and Mr.
Enoch .Lewis, who has been chooseh General
Superintendent, in Ibe room, of Mr. Scott,, who
.formerly held that position.

as the extra range of jthese pieces is abont three

A Conflict with a Tiokk. —While Maccomo
was going through liis performance with the
Bengal tigers at Mander’s Menagerie, recently,
a tigress caught his bund in her mouth. Plan
ting bis knee in the small of the tigress’ back,
audpressing her against the bars of the ; cage, ,
then seizing her lower jaw with the right hand,
he held her powerless to do more than-retain j
the loft baud in her mouth. So cool was Mac- ;
oomo in this ,-trying position, that lookers-on
,thought (t a part of liis performance ; but when j
Muccomo called to ope of the keepers, “She has 1
got my hand fast in her mouth ; get a bar of j
hot iron,” the truth Of his' dangerous position I
fiushed through the ininds of those present, and j
created the greatest excitement—one lady fain
ting away, others running from the painful sight
Four or five minutes elapsed before the iron was
ready, during which [time Maccomo stood as a
piece of statuary, not a quiver of lip to show
the pain he was enduring. When ready, the
hot iron was applied;quickly and surely, by one
of the keepers, to one of the large teeth in the
upper jaw; and, as though she hsdboen elec
trified, her mouth sprang open. Maccomo quick
as lightning drew hl| hand away, caught hold
of a thick stick, struck the animal a terrific
blow on tbe skull, brought her down, and forced
her to finish her performance before he left the
cage. When Maccomo came out of the cage,
his bleeding hand testified to the frightful strug
gle which had been going on between man and
beist.— Liverpool Mercury,

be has not even taken an active part in the i
Convention, (be was very nearly beaten by a '
Methodist minister,) .and -COjuJLemphiTc>r no raid
on the federal capital. He denounces General
Scott in very violent'terms, and winds up w ith
the following characteristic statement:—“A
pretext, is needed to concentrate the army to
establish a military despotism. Scott is but a
martinet and commissary, but his vanity, in bis
old age, stands up like hip bones and withers of
an old horse from which the muscles have fal
len away ; and the .; Second Lientenat-General
aspires to rival the First Lieutenant-General in
being canonized asUbe second saVionr of his
country. Jit had better tqke care, or J trill take
the field and take tl»« feathers off his peacock
pride. Now, you are perfectly welcome to put
this in print, to dispel the apprehensions of all
the grannies in the North, or to put to shame
these who wodtd malign by sfmnderj - one who
never engaged in Secret war, hut who would
claim our capital and our flag as belonging t 6
those wbo have kept the covenants of the Con

them ; and wbo will fight General Scott himself,
to defend them both."
Fobteess WoakpK.—Fortress Monroe, Vs.,
is a point of some interest now, as being almost
the only one not in the bands of the rebels. If
Virginia secedes, jshe will demand the surren
der of this work, and will probably threaten to
take it, but I should like to see them try. It
is very large. The walls are more than a mile
in circuit, very thick and high, surrounded by
a moat which is' sikty to one hundred feet broad,
with eight feet of water, drawbridge, and outer
batteries. Itmounts some three hundred heavy
guns, has mortars' for trowing shells, furnaces
for heating balls, £c. Nothing could approach
within tliree miles except under the fire of all
these batteries. This is a magnificent place. —l
The walls enclose some aetenty-five acres. In
the centre is the parade ground, and all arounjl
are the quarters fpr the troops. Live oak and
other trees make it very pleasant in summer.—

the following mysterious paragraph : Various
rumors were in circulation on Sunday, with, re
gard to an alleged pntrage perpetrated on Satur
day last by parties whose names wd have not
beard, upon the person of Captain Vaughan, of
the British ship Kalos, now lying in cur- port.
The accounts are so contradictory that we for
bear any further refereno® to ihe matter until
the facts shall have befen ascertained.. 'We may
say, though, that if the circumstances,. as re
