Since the present managers of the, Central (into Minersville) Passenger Railway assumed control, thatzoute has been prosperous and successful. On taking possession, some eight or nine months ago, the newly organized sesoci. atlon rapidly discovered that to obtain prosperity a largo stock of fresh energy and enterprise should at once be put into the concern, and that the expenditure of a needful amount of money in making improvements absolutely necessary was the • only truly economical measure which could be adopted. Acting on these suggestions, the road was put in the beat possible order, new cars were pro;rided, better horses supplied, and a mammoth stable, at the Minersville terminus, was erected. These Improvements cost money, but the public appreciated the new life infused IMO the .torporatlon and liberally ex tended a helping hand by adding largely to the patronage extended. Indeed, after a brief term of the new management, and the guarantee that the road was to be a permanent institution, the real estate in the vicinity of the outer termi nus naturally advanced, thus benefitting • large number of penions. An impetus to settlement wee likewise given and the broad • table -lands penetrated • by the road are being dotted with the houses of the rich and the poor, who have full appreciation of the advantageous altos afforded for homes in that direction. The late stemma of the corporation Is a matter of congratulation, not only to those pecuniarily interested, but to all who desire to see our city expand and build up into still greater importance. Especially is its present proeperous con dition a matter of congratulation to the Board of. Directors and Superintendent having charge of its affairs. They have labored hard and diligently to bring about the resin% and, continued in office, they can confidently hope for still bright. er prosperity and RIME= In the future. Last night at the office of the company at Mineraville the stockholders bald their annual meeting to elect officers for the ensuing year and to receive the re ports of past operations. The meeting or ganized by the selection of Alex. Melt. wattle, Esq as chairman and the designa tion of Mr. H. W. Oliver, Jr. aa deeretary. The report of R. G. Herron, F•q., General Superintendent, was read and accepted. It developed an extremely healthy con dition of affairs and large Improvements made ler every direction. The report contained several suggestions looking towards the better accommodation of the public, -an establishment of equitable toll rates and other changes which met with much favor. She election of the Board of Directors was next held, Mr. Willis Boothe acting as Judge, and Messrs. W. J. Moorhead and W. A. Gliderifenny as tellers. A• full majority of the stock was voted with the following result: E. P. Jones, H. W. Oliver, Jr., M. K._Moorhesd, W. H. Hagan, Charles Jeremy, R. G. Her ron John Harrison. Her ron, of thanks was offered by Mr. Hart to E. P. Jones. Esq., President, and R. 0. Herron, Esq.. Superintendent. for the able, faithful and efficient man ner In which they have - discharged their respective duties during their term of office. After a vote of thanks to Presi dent Mcliwaine and the other officers of the evening, the meeting adjourned to the hospitable suburban residence of R. G. Herron, Esq., where • splendid sup per was awaiting. Alter all doing the fullest justice to the meal, in response to a general call Mr. Mallwaine made a very happy and forcible speech, in which he pictured a bright destiny for that part of the city at the outer tee ' minus of the road, end a corresponding.. ly brilllant future for therosd itself. He co i mended in the most fltttering terms th lealousneei and enterprise of the ne comptny, its Directors and Su and Ills remarks were re ceived with much applause, and we cannot refrain from saying that be was never happier in his expression. Speeches appropriate to the occasion were made by Hon. Mayor Brush and Messrs. W. K. Hart, H. W. Oliver, Jr., O. H. Love, E. Jones, Willis Booth, W. J. Moorhead, R. J. Powers, W. A. Olt denfenny. W. A. Herron, R. G. Herron, C. P. Duff, aod other present, and the beat of good cheer and harmony pre. veiled. The affair was very pleasant and will long be remembered as • pleas ing episode In the history of the road. The down-town delegates were furnished with • special car to the city on the ad. journment of the meeting. We hope that the Central Passenger Railway may continue with each returning day to grow more Tardier with the people, and that it may shortly prove a remunerative investment to the stockholders, who are now pushing things so lively and" with so much earnestness, enterprise and ability. _: THE COURTS.

The crowd declared that being a god he would not burn—yet somehow "be" was very soon consumed: and then, with no little pathos, "the people seeing that now they had no gods to worship, sent to the Queen to ask what they were to worship for the future."
