D, ■ So far as the Mineliill and Schuylkill Haven Railroad Company and the Schuylkill Haven and Lehigh River Railroad Company are interested in tho proposed ar rangement* the following explanations maybe of ser vice iu leading to the formation of your judgment on the agreement on which you are about to vote. At present, an agreement exists between the Minehill and Schuylkill Haven Railroad Company, and the Schuylkill Navigation Company, which is to continue for teu years from the 31st day of December, IS3I, under which the latter company guarantees to the former that the proportion of the charges imposed on coal, <&c , pass ing over tbe Minehill road shall net to its stockholders eight per ceut. per annum on their shares, the number ot which i 6 limited by said agreement. An agreement also exists between The Mineuill and Schuylkill Haven Railroad Company and The Sohuylkill Haven and Lehigh River Riilroad Company, under which, upon the completion of the road of the latter Com pany, the Minehill Company is to take a lease of said road for 959 years, and to pay the Stockholders thereof eight per cent, per annum in Dividends. The Philadelphia and Heading Railroad Company have obtained, by lease or purchase, the control of all.the rai-roads penetrating the Coal region of Schuylkill county, except the Minehill road, and although at pre sent arrangements exist between.that Company and the Schuylkill tfavigatlon Company which give equal facili ties of access and use of .the lateral railroads, such ar rangements are constantly liable to be broken up by ri valries and competitions. Should such rivalry and competition become extreme, it is quite probable that the engagements into which the several companies have entered could not be carried out, and lienee it lias been deemed important to adopt some p'ani which will give certainty and permanency to the in comes which the Stockholders of the lateral roads are to receive from the great trunk lines, and to keep the latter in the best possible condition for meeting the engage ments contained in their leases and agreements. To effect this desirable purpose is our present object, and the first slep in it is to consolidate and merge the Mine hill and Schuylkill Haven Railroad Company and the Schuylkill Haven and Lehigh River Railroad Company. This being accomplished, the capital-stock.of the consoli dated company wi»l amount to $4,300,000. This sum of $4,500,0C0 it is proposed.to capitalize into the sum of $5.733,334 and at that rate for the Philadel phia and Reading Railroad Company to purchase from the Stockholders of the consolidated company their shares of stock, on paying for the same say, $66*6 Ser share, of which Ss9“a will be in 6 per coat. onds of the Philadelphia and Reading Railroad Company, and $7 per share in - 6 per cent, of Boat and Car-Loan of the Schuylkill Navigation Com*, Panv of the year 1563. ' The Bonds so issued by the hiladelpbia and Reading Railroad Company are to have Fifty years to run and to be secured by a distinct pledge of the property of the Minehill and hchuylkiU Haven Railroad Company so that, in addition to the faith of the Reading Railroad Company, the parties-who accept such Bonds for their stock will have all the security they now hold for their shares, rlt ‘s also agreed that a Sinking Fund of sufficient amount to pay off the said bonds at maturity shall be provided by the Reading Railroad Company, which shall be invested in said bonds whenever they can be had at a price not above par, or, failing in that, in the loans of the United States, or the State of Pennsylvania, or the city of Philadelphia. In addition to the faith of the Schuylkill Navigation Company tor the payment of its Boat and Car Loan at maturity, all the Boats.and -Railroad Cars purchased therewith, and additional Boats and Cars heretofore purchased by the Company, and an annual Sinking Fund, are pledged for payment. So that to every one who will thus sell his stock to tho Philadelphia and Readingßailroad Company an annual return thereon, equal to Eight per Cent, of its par value, is fully secured. • A reasonable time is to be allowed to tbe Stockholders of ilio Minehill Company to sell their shares on these terms, afrerwhich the option of givingsucb Bonds inex change for the fctockis to rest with the Reading Com pany. With the Stockholders of the Minehill Company, who do not agree to sell their Stock on the proposed terms, the following arrangement will he made: An amount equal to Fonr per Cent, semi-annually on the Stock of such refusing Stockholders will be paid over to the Managers of the Minehill Com pany, who, after deducting from it such sum as may be deemed necessary for paying the expenses of keeping up the organization of the Company,.will distribute the re ins inder a mong snch Stockholders as a Dividend on their shares of Stock. , Concurrently with these arrangements, the present agreement between tie MmehiiT Company and the Schuylkill Navigation Company is to be cancelled. The aKreement between the Reading Railroad Compa ny and Schuylkill Navigation Company will ifcipalate that the rate to be charged on the lateral roads for toll and transportation, exceptwben it may be deemed ne cessary to modify them for the purple of increasing the development of the production of coal and tlie increase of business, shall be sufficient to meet the sums to bn paid tor them under the leases and agreements, and that in case of any deficiency, such deficiency shall be met and paid by the said two companies in the proportions of the tonnage which they have respectively had from said roads during the preceding year. ..The advantages of this arrangement to the holders of the stock of the Minehill and Schuylkill Haven Railroad, as -?f i vl U v e constituted by the merger and'eonsolidation, Will be this; that they will hold the substantial guarantee of both the Reading Company and the Navigation Compa ny tor the payment of the annual interest on income as a matter of real permanence, instead of the present guarantee of the Schuylkill Navigation Company, which ‘'''ill cud m 1872, and 'ot the uncertain earnings of the Minehill and Schuylkill Haven and Lehigh River Rail roads after that date _The only remaining feature of the agreement with the Reading Company that it is important to notice is this, that any holder of the present stock of the Schuylkill Haven and Lehigh River Rallrosd Company, who may desire it, has the privilege of selling his stock in the set tlement and arrangement, on the following terms: If his stock hasbeen paid up in full, SO per cent . namely,• B*4o pir share, will be returned to him in cash, and for the remaining 20 per cent, or $lO per share, he will re ceive in the 6 per cent. Reading Bonds and Schuylkill Navigatb n Boat and Car Loans, in the pro portions named for settlement of full-paid stock. Hold ers otstock, who have made partial payments, will have the same privilege of making, by payments or re-- ceipts, their stock equal to $lO per share paid in, and re ceive the same sum of s26!j per share in the loans above’ mentioned. In conclusion,the Directors recommend a hearty con currence m these arrangements on the part of the stock holders as m their judgmeit they will. in th 9 best way, the value and productiveness of all the properties ot the several companies concurring therein, and at the same time give to those engaged in the mining and sell ing of coal the most complete and economical arrange ments for reaching the great markets of the country by the unrivalled facilities of the Schuylkill Navigation Company and Reading Railroad Company. ....... , ;By ‘order of the Directors. - ALEX.

It is believed that the dividends for the past five years ($3.(.00,000) are larger in amount and proportion to pre miums paid, than were ever declared, m the same space of time by any other Life Company., They may be ap: plied, at the option of the policy holder, either to the purchase of additional insurance, payable with the poli cy at maturity, or in redaction of premiums. By there examples, it will be seen that in some case 3 the ANNUAL REDUCTION granted bvthe Company is LARGER THAN THE ANNUAL PRRMIUM; iu other words, that the policy would be entirely PAID UP for the original amount, and the policy-holder, instead of paying premium to the Company, would actually be in RECEIPT OF AN ANNUITY (to be increased by subse quent dividends) for the remainder of life.
