the put year.
The enlargement of the canal will he completed by
the opening of navigation In 1865, from Columbia to
the Miller*town dam, on the Juniata, a distance of
fifty-nine znilea. Above that point, the locks wiU
only be enlarged as they require rebuilding, until
there is a reduction in the price of materials and
labor* At the Miilerstown dam the railway and
canal are close to each other, affording every requi
site facility for transhipment of frieghts from the
road to canal, an-l giving a full opportunity to test
the capabilities of the latter work for the cheap
transportation of heavy products. The westqm di
vision of the canal, which has been & source of o >n*
tinued expense to the company, may be abandoned
upon the extension of the Western Pennsylvania
Railroad to the Allegheny Talley Rsilroad.
The whole income of the canals from the first of
August, 1867, when they came into possession of the
company—six years and five months—amounted to
$1,393,196 11, all of which has been appropriated to
their maintenance and improvement, except the
sum of $9FT.396 21, an amount about sufficient to
Zneet the expenditures upon them previous to the
resumption of navigation in the spring. The canal
department wiU then start with an enlarged canal
upon its eastern division, and a portion of the lower
junction, and with nearly the whole line east of the
mountain regenerated. In its present condition, this
portion of tbc property of the company may safely
he estimated as worth $1,500,000. and should, here
after, return at least an interest of six per centum, per !
annum upon that sum.
The Philadelphia and Erie Railroad was not
opened throughout its length, as anticipated, by the
mat of January last, owing to circumstances which
that oompany could not control. This company has
promptly supplied it with all the capital needed for
the construction of the road, but the requisite labor
could not be obtained. The completion of the line
may, however, be confidently expected in July nest,
The revenues derived by this company, under its
lease, from those portions of the Philadelphia and
Erie Railroad delivered to it, have fully sustained
the estimates of the board on submitting the contract

Hie net revecuea of the company during the past

four and five per centum respectively, and in the
construction oi the commutation roads—the Phila
delphia and Erie, and the extension of its own jin»
tO the Steubenville and Pittsourg road, opposite
Pittsburg, second track, increase of rolling stock,
the purchase of real estate for the road at Pittsbur*
and Other points, &c. All of these expenditures have
been met from the earnings of the road—an increase
of $252,360.48 in the debt of the company, and a sale
of leu than a half a million of the securities received
from other companies. All the railroad companies
claiming asiistance under the commutation act have
received the amounts that they were respectively en
titled to, except the Pittsburg and Steubenville line
Which has been delayed in its expenditures in cousin
-quence of its imperfect rights across the State of
v ltginia. Since these have been determined the
work has been steadily pushed forward, and will ba
completed curing this year.
The expenditwe of the commutation fuad as
mighthave been anticipated, has involved, the*ne
cessity of further advances to complete these lines
to points that would render them serviceable to ♦he
pubUo and Profitable to the company. In pursuance
of this plan, the Ebensburg and Cresson Railroad
lias been opened to EDeneburg, the Tyrone and
Eear Bloody Bun. The
Bald Eagle Valley and the Western Pennsyl
vania Railroads have made such progress as to in.
sure their completion before the close of this year—
the first to the Philadelphia and Erie Railroad at
Eock Haven, and the second to the Alleghany river
opposite Freeport. These lines will not beimme'
diately productive, but it is believed that nearly all
ot them will ert-ctuaUy yield a direct profit upon
the investments made in tneir securities.

fund, to be charged with any extraordinary expen
ditures on account of accidents from fire, floods, or
other casualty, in order that regular dividends may
not be disturbed from such occurrences, a balance
to the credit of the company of $5,637,605 80.
I The contingent fund was established chiefly by
placing in it the amount claimed by the State for
tonnage duties, which was afterwards commuted
into an obligation to expend this sum upon certain
, railway* of other companies. This fund was to bo
charged with these disburcemeats as they occurred,
but the Increased traffic of the line in conieouenoA
the closing of the markets on the Mississippi river
for Western products, and other causes, seemed to
justify the direct charge of these outlays to profit and
loss, and increase the contributions to this fuud to
the amount stated, and apply it to the objects and
for the purposes already mentioned.
The sinking fund established for the payment of
the second mortgage bonds of this company, and
those of the Harrisburg and Lancaster Railroad
Company, the payment of which it has aisumed.
amounts to $1,451,315.12. The securities pisaed in
this fund have been so fortunately selected that
they are now worth considerably more than twice

remain no other debt unprovided for, except the 1
first mortgage or $6,000,000, which can be continued ,
at a low rate of interest, in preference to its nav
ment. * * \
The shareholders will doubtless feel gratified to I
learn from this exhibit, that the directors have kept
Readily in view their original reluctance to incur a '
debt for the construction of their road, and in pur- I
euance of the policy indicated by their wishes, have i
provided, at the earliest moment consistently with I
the permanent interest of the company, for it* re- 1
duelion to a sum that all must admit can be main- j
tained without any risk to the company.
In presenting these gratifj ing results of the opera*
tions of your road, it must not be forgotten that the
causes Which have been largely instrumental in pro
ducing them cannot long contiaue. Toe rail ways of
the North generally, tinea the first year of there*
belliqn, have greatly increased thair earnings. Those
- Hi!® wmpwv have advanced from $5,362 355 21.
(the year before the war oommenoed.) to
$11,891,412 96, in 1863. This increase is chiefly in
freight, the passenger busint s having increased but
from $1,420,912 43 to $2,276,536 78, omitting the earn
ings from transportation of troops- The increase in
the money receipts from freight, for Obvious reasons,
is great* r than the tonnage.
The limit to the receipts or the company from east
ward-bound traffic, during the continuance of favor
able navigation on the Ohio river, has only been
controlled by the amount of roiiiQg stock at its com
mand.
At all other period, the equipment has been am
ple to meet the demands upon it. The revenue* of
the company, during January of this year, show a
large falling off compared with those of 1883, owing
to the ice blockade of the Ohio river, and to the in
terruption to the traffic of the Pittsburg, Fort
Wayne, and Chicago Railway Company. But we
have not much expectation that the business of the
road for the year will be materially lees Than last
year.
i The increase in the receipts of the company from
; freight being largely due to more remunerative rates
j of freight, the decrease in its revenues, that maybe
; confidently looked for after the close of the war. will
; not affect the tonnage of the road in the same ratio,
j The stimulus given to the • internal trade of the
! State, by the great demand that has existed for the
; past two yean for her products, added to the addi
tional traffic that may be expected from the new
: territory opened by the branch lines and extensions
already made, and those that will be brought into
use by the close of the year, will go far towards
maintaining the tonnage of the main stem, which
time must gradually continue to augment.
The surplus profits of the company, and the dis
position made of them, have already been referred
to. They ate now represented by good securities,
in the possession of the Treasurer. The Board,
from prudential reasons, has heretofore declined to
recommend a division of them, but it does not now
see any sufficient reason for their longer retention.
An extra dividend has, therefore, been declared of
fiiteen dollars ($l5) on eaoh share of the present
capital, as registered upon the books of the Com
pany. February 15, 1564, which dividend shall be
payable in the stock of the Company, at its pap
value of fifty dollars ($5O) per share. The additional
thus created to be dated May 2,1864. and be
entitled to dividends payable in November next,
and thereafter of same amount semi-annually, as
the present stock of the Company. The certificates
of stock for the extra dividend, to be delivered to
stockholders on and after May 2, 1861.
The directors feel much gratidcation in renewing
their expression of unabated confidence in the intel
ligent, efficient, and faithful services of the heads of
the several department instituted for the manage
ment of the business of the Company, their officers
and employees generally.
For more detailed information in relation to the
operations of the road, the shareholders are referred
to thereportsef Enoch Lewis, general superinten
dent, W. H. Wilson, chief engineer, and J. P. Laird,

To the Editor of the Press, ’
Sib : That great injustice is being done towards
sonie of our l * Veteran Volunteer*’* who have re-en
litted in the service of their country, no one csn for
a moment doubt: but how to rectify the matter, is a
problem which I would like to see solved in the
columns of your valuable paper. The facts are
simply these;. and I will refer to but one rDiriment
viz., tlie 106th P. y taking for granted that otter*
are m a like situation. Most of the members of this
regiment who re-enlisted were simply accredited to
the city ol Philadelphia on the regiment’s muster
roU, thereby depriving them from receiving any of
bounties, while new men from all portions
£ * re btaught here, leeruited, and receive
both the city and ward bounties. Is this just and
right 1 Will any one deny that a veteran is worth
two raw recruitsl Then why sbosld the latter re
ceive from the city fifty dollars more than the for
mer? It IB all wrong; and my object in writing this
it to endeavor to right the wrongs of those who have
already sacrificed home and comfort, afld perilled
their lives in our sacred cause, and are willing to do
so again. Those of the Io6thwho re enlisted and
b.SfP® on a 35-days furlough, never received
their city bounty until last Saturday afternoon, a
few hours previous to the time when their furloughs
expired. Is it any wonder that there are to many
•cowling faces, hard words and harder thoughts,
amoDg our re-enlisted soldiers here in the city? Is
the paltry sum which they receive to be kept from i
them unta the last moment previous to their depar
ture hence, probably to return no more? Hoping
the matter will he made right, 1 remain very re
spectfully yours, EH
History Repeating Itself.
To the Editor of The Trees:
Sir : I send you the following. Please to note
hittory repeating the attitude of Henry 111., and of
Yet to the faction, inspired by suob rebellions
sentiments, ana which waa thundering in hia face
such tremendous denunciations, the unhappy Henry
could not find a single royal or manly word of reply.
He threw himself upon hit knees, when, if ever; he
should have assumed au .attitude of command. Ha
answered the insolence of men who were parading
their contempt for hit authority, by humble excuses
aDd supplications for pardon. He threw his crown
in the dust, before their feet, as if such humility
would induce them to place it again upon hit hesd.
He abandoned the minions who had been his pride
his joy, and his defence, and deprecated with an ab
j ject whimper, all responsibility for the unmeasured
ambition and the insatiable rapacity of a few private
I individuals. He conjured the party leaders, who
I had hurled defiance lu his face, to lay down their
I arms, and promised that they should find in hie wis
j Com and bounty more than all the advantages which
they were seeking to obtain by war.— Motley's United

A Cold Day,— Yesterday was decidedly
wtnterUh; it even out-wintered winter. We were
given a alight experience,™ life u it It about the
poJea. A breeze prevailed tiuriog the day and
evening that told with remarkable . effect upon
every unfortunate pedettrias, Were we not
reminded of « in physiology, we might
have concluded that the additional tax on whisky
bad only the effect of stimulating sale*, for every
man’s nose was gently tinged with festive Ver
million. Streets were deserted, business was] sus
pended, cars ran empty, coal was burned bright-
Iv» and the doors of every man’s house were
! siamwed after entry or egress with fearful violence.
The fresh sir vu looked upon as an eaemy. The
window panes of stores and dwellings were opsone
Bfjjjjjr*tafl u «noa°f the atmosphere;, for they were
a whiteness as of snow. It was suoh
» d*F as may be long remembered. The week pre*
been noted for its mildness and clemency.
*£? *? e sudden change was consequently the more
***** the taore felt. Lut evening the ther
mometer was only«four degrees from zero. The
Peaces or amut emeat showed by their slim audiences
tno great affection of our people for the warmth and

Presentation of Flags.—A correspon
dent of The Preie writes from the Army of the Poto
mac a glowing description of a presentation of a
Rational flag to the'2d /Regiment Delaware Vo-
Inteers. This gallant regiment is composed very
largely of Philadelphians, and contains a'«o a com
pany from Cecil county, Maryland. The loyal
ladles of the latter place were the donors of the
flag, and the occasion was one which cannot soon be
forgotten by all the soldiers of the 2d Delaware. The
flag bears the following inscription : “ Presented by
the loyal daughters of Cecil county, Maryland,
through Captain Ben. Ricketts and his brave Cecil
boys, to the noble 2d Delaware Regiment.”
The citizens of Wilmington wiltsoon present the
regiment with a battle-flag. The ** boys” merit all
their honors, for they have done themtolvee credit in
every field of the Army of the Potomaa,
. The Cei.ebbation.— The troops partici
pating in the celebration of Washington’s birthday
will form for parade, at 9% o’clook in the morning,

10 o’clock precisely, and the column form for street
parade immediately after. The route and details
will be published in order*.
Such organizations as may desire to participate,
and have not yet signified their intention, should
report at once to Captain Haldeman, in order that
they may be assigned to places in the line. The
veteran regiments will be accorded the place or
honor, and will earry their well worn battle- flags

of the body.
Divorces.—During the past year 150 ap
plications for divorcee were made ia thi. oltv. This
fe an Increase of two over tbe previous year. Or the
whole number there were nioetn-one fn which de
sertion was the alleged ground; forty-one in which
edulteiy was the cause ; nineteen for ill-treatment;
two for bigamy, and three forhabitu.nl drunkenness.
In ninety-ono of the above oases the euits were
brought by the wife, and in sixty-five by the hus

[Before Mr. Alderman Beitler. J
Alleged Shoplifters.
Three women, giving the names of Lizzie Max*
well, Mary Martin, and Kate Markle, had a final
hearing yesterday at the Central Station on the
of shoplifting. The arrests were made by
Officer Cullom, of Chief Rugglea’ force, on Satur
day for lifting a shawl at a store on Second street.
The houses of the defendants, or some of them, were
searched and a considerable amount of goods were
found and taken to the Central Station. At the
tearing yesterday afternoon, Mr. John BC. Stokes,
the proprietor of a store on Arch street, identified a
piece of oalico, containing thirty-three yards, stolen
from his store on the 25th of January. He thinks
he saw two of the defendants at hia store about the
time of the robbery.
A lady who keeps a store on Second street, whose
name we did not hear, identified several shawls
that were stolen from her establishment on last
Monday week.
The defendants were committed in default of
000 bail to answer at court. The good* recover
ed constat of a great variety of shawls, dresses,
&c., which remain unreclaimed at the Central
Station. These and other goods ought to be care
fully kept, so that moths may not get into‘them,
and then sold, as the law directs, by auction, to the
highest bidder.
Alleged Larceny.
A young man was arraigned yesterday afternoon,'
at Jhe Central Station, on suspicion of having stolen
a watch from Mr. Geo W. Watson. It seems that
the proseoutor had visited a public house known as
the Bugle. It is alleged tbe defendant took the
watch from him, while In there, on Tuesday night.
There was no evidence elicited that the allegation
was true. The accused was held in the sum of $5OO
to await v* further hearing.
[Before Mr. Alderman White. J

ant wea committed in default of $BOO bail'to an
swer the charge of robbery,'and $5OO for assault and
Dattery.
When taken into custody by the police, a gold
watch and chain were found upon his person. These
articles were claimed by a colored soldier named
William Skinner, who, upon being sworn, testified
that while he standing at the corner of Sixth
and Lombard streets, on Tuesday afternoon, the pri
soner stepped up and leaned on his shoulder. Skin
ner thought this was making pretty free for a
stranger, and told him to go away.
The stranger started offi Sometime after this.
Skinner, desiring to ascertain the time, felt for his
wAtoh, and discovered that it was gone.
A white man also laid olaim to the same watch,
but the soldier Introduced a respectable colored wo
man, named Mary Sims, who testified that Skinner
was the owner, he having had It In his possession for
some time. The prisoner was committed in default

The Cigar Business Transaction ]
A final* bearing took place last evening, in the
ease of William McLellan, charged with obtaining
money under false pretences, by promising to make
persons perfect cigar-makers in ten days, for the '
sum of $5 each. The case, as reported in The >
press yesterday, awakened very general attention |
w the subject, and a number of men, cigar-makers !

all the minute particulars. Someoftheiemenatonoe |

the time occupied to be not more than ten days or

spent four weeks there and then could not make a
cigar. In one or two instances he promised to re
turn ihe money if he failed to impart the necessary
knowledge, but not a cent was returned. One of the
witnesses testified that, lor filling, he gave her
something that looked like coarse snuff. She re
monstrated with him, and he replied, “that if she
did not like it, shejnight dear out.”
Another witness testified that when she found out
that she was about being humbugged, as she
thought, and expressed herself slightly to this effect,
ke threatened to “throw her out of the window.”
