The reports says ;—
Notwithstanding the Continued depression
of besiness, we are enabled to report to the
stockholders, anincrcasc both in gross rev—
enue and in net earnings for the fiscal year,
as will fully appear from the iregoiug state-
ments. During the year. the-large shop-tit'thc
company at Hartford for the constructibn and
repair of cars, was destrovct. by tire. This
has been replaced by .1 fireproof building.
A large addition has also been ninth; to the.
equipment of flu _avail. The. cusr of these
additions and inun-n-w-u..-»1,~. is included. in
~thc expenses for the year. Except .for these
outlays and the reduction ill the, market val~
ue'of‘ materials and supplies "lll hand, llltf net
and taxes, would have shown considerably

zed a profit on the business of the year, of
$27 ,7 86.61, after the payment of all expenses,
meats. As compared with the proceeding
year, the results of the business are better
for your company by the amount of $143,400.
0n the lst of October last, the first mort-
gage bonds of the old New York and New
Havcurailroad company fell due, were paid
off, and canceled, so that now the New York,
New Haven &. Hartford railroad company
is free- from both funded and floating debt;
and is at. liberty, after fulfilling its obligations
to its‘leased roads, to apply all its netearn-
lugs to the payment of dividends upon its
stock. _
It is the purpose, however, of your board
of directors, in the management of thisyalu-
able property, to limit the dividends upon the
stock to ten per cent, per annum, and to ap—
ply the. surplus earnings to increasing the fa
'cilitics and accommodations 0f the road.
Thi olicy we deem just to the stockholders
and 'quitablc to the public.

During a smart shower between 9 and 10
o’clock Sunday evening, persons in the lower
part; of the village of South Hadley Falls,
Mass, saw a very brilliant meteor pass across
the heavens, and dwellers on the hill heard a
violent explosion like a very hard thunder
clap. The meteor fell in the lane south of
the-Catholic church, within a few feet of a-
man and his wife, and is described as a. globe
’about a foot iii diameter, of an intense blue-
ish light, and falling with a hissing sound
'until the explosion. Both were temporarily
blinded by the intense light of the explosion,
and for twenty-four hours afterwards suffered
from severe pain in the eyeballs.

The Maintenance of Health.
The maintenance of health is often more ditll-
'enlt than its recovery. Vitiated conditions of the
”atmosphere, unhealthy occupations, extremes of
heat or cold, and constant exposure to rough
weather, are all so many provocations of disease.
There IS but one sure way of effectually guarding
the system when thus subjected to influences pre-
judicial to health, ahd that. is to establish, byjiidi-
cious tonic and alterative medication, vigor of the
body and regularity of its functions. The proper-
ties of an invigoraut and corrective are happily
combined in Hostettcr’s Stomach Bitters, which,
at the same time thatit infuses unwonted vitality
into the system, overcomes all tendency of the
stomach, liver and bowels and urinary organs, to
deviate from regularity in the discharge of func-
tions upon whic the welfare of the entire pliystoal
organization is dependent. Health cannot: be
more effectually maintained than by using the
Bitters. 4t1

How to Scare Burglary.
gestcd by a. Western exchange: In retiring
for the night spread newspapers lightly up-
on the stair-ways and in front: of the door~
ways ‘und windows. The noise produced at.
the dead hour of the night by treading on
the crackling newspapers. or attempting to
remove them from the pathway, be the bar-
glar ever so stealthy and expert, is sufficient
to give almost any sleeper notice of the
presence and whereabouts of the midnight
fee. '

While 11' San Francisco undertaker was

Chinese woman, he was surprised to see her
eyes open at hiln. The surrounding friends
showed no surprise, btit simply said,“Stte

Au Indiana girl wanted to see if her lover
really loved her, and she got a boy to yell
“mad dog l” as they were walking out. The
lover flew over a fence and left her to be
chewed up, and she went right away and
married a store clerk.
Five hundred veers ago there was a bank

The Yellow Centaur Liniment
is adapted to the tough skin, muscles and flesh of
the animal creation. Its effects upon severe cases
of Spavin, Sweeny, W'ind-Gall, Big-Head, and
Poll-Evil, are little less than marvelous.-
Messrs. J. McClure .9: 00., Druggists. cor. Elm
and Front Sts., Cincinnati, 0.. says:
“In our neighborhood a number of teaiuitersare
using the Centaur Liniment. They pronounce it
superior to anything they have ever used. We sell ,v
as high as four to live dozen bottles per month to
owners of horses and mules.”
We have volumes ot testimonials describing
cures of Sprains, Kicks, Gulls, Poll-Evil, Big-
IIead, and even Founders, which are little less
than marvels. No owner of an animal can afford
to be without a bottle of CentaurLiniment, which
any day may prove worth twenty times its cost.

We invite the attention of the public to
Scmnann's MONTHLY, which now deserv-
edly ranks among the BEST ILLUSTRATED
PERIODICALS on Tim “'ORLD.
The papers illustrative of American Scene-
ry, which have appeared in its pages, among
which were included “The Wonders of flhe
Yellowstone,” and the “Grand Canon of the
Colorado," have won wide spread admiration
on both sides of the Atlantic; and “The
Great South ” articles, with their beautiful
engravings, have been rte-issued in book form
in both Great Britain and America. For the
coming year we have broader plans than ever
before. The magazine will be enlarged, and
Three Remarkable Serial Stories by
American. \Vrltcrs.
‘Gubricl Conroy,’ by Bret Harte.
Of which the Boston Post says: "It: is a
serial that will make every number of Scum-
NElt's eagerly sought for, if it. had nothing
else to recommend it.’ ,
The Canadian Illuslrtttcl _l'rws predicts
that: “we have found at last. the American
novel."
The Louisville Courier Jam-1241 says: “The
second installment: is even stronger th'an the
first,ju.vt{fyiuy allfllat inns lookedfor."
\Ve begin in J unitary
"Philip Nolan’s Friends,”
By ED‘VABD EVEREI'I‘ liALE. _
This is an historical ‘ romance. The scene
is laid in the South-west: at. a. time when that:
territory was first; Spanish, then French, and
then American, and when war was imminent,
to obtain the control of the mouth of the
Mississippi. It is likely to be the great ro-
mnnce of the Mississippi Valley, as GABRIEL
CONROY will be on the Pacific Slope.
“That Lass ’0 Lowrie";
By FANNY HODGSON BURNETT.
The friends of “Scumnnn” who have read
“Surly Tim's Trouble,” “One Day at Arie,”
“The Fire at Grantley Mills," and others of
Mrs. Burnett’s short. stories, will not. need to
be assured that; they have a rare treat: before
them. The scene of the new novel i: laid in
an English mining town, and frOxn the first:
page to the last the interest is untlagging.
Among other notable papers we nlentiOn

descriptive of ti. row-boat ride of two hundred
and fifty miles, in one of the most fertile and.
interesting of the vinegrowing valleys of
Europe—a region never seen by the ordinary
traveler, but full of interest, in its social and

The editorial control and direétion of the
Magazine will remain in the hands of Dr.
HOLLAND, who will contribure each month
editorials upon current, political and social
topics. Our readers may look to “Topics of
the Time” for healthy ppinion; “The old
Cablnel” for pure sentiment; “Home and
Society” for graceful economy; “Culgurc
and Progress” for criticism; “The
“’orld’s Work” for industrial intelligence;
“Br!¢-a-Brac” for wit and innocent pleas-
antry.
Scnlnxnn‘s MONTHLY is now recognized,
both in this country and in Eng-land, as the
great representative American Magazine. _
Encouraged by the favor accorded to it by
a generous public, we shall aim,,during the
Centennial year, to eclipse its former achieves
ments in both is Literary and" Art depart-
ment. '
