0\hcstockholder,•
In the plenitude of their wisdom.they have made two
,ort» to the Legislatu re, one in Jan. 1849, on which ,
fw- powerful reasons, the Legislativ e Committee report-
ithov-ouM not iinderst.ind. faiul no one else.) but kiml -
i • attrib uted a discord of S8000 in their accounts to a
Clerical error, and in no way could they make the ac-
otint balance. Neither can they balance their books , for
onstrons as the ease is, I learn there has never been a
trial balance taken by the Treasurer, and this in a set
f books which must represent an amount of over one
pillion of dollars.
The next report , made last month , the Legislature
(,,TC not J'ct reported upon. What their opinio n may
be time will show, but some one from the throne has
fcfored the public , through the Yarmouth Rcgister,with
jtnte menta of the most material parts , which gives a
flourishing account of the years' business .and the mark-
,d inconsistency of which is demonstrated by your cor-
respondent and your own remarks. As on one part they
akc the years' business less than the previous year.and
m
g ou j ll3tly remark , if the interest is yet to come out
of the net income, then it leaves nothing, and is not a
net income, althoug h they proclaim it so—and again ,
other figures they give us to prove a very prosperous
,ute of
"
things-which is true ?
I have been trying to make something out of it, but
•t is past comprehension. I next turn to the report made
last June, at the annual meeting, by the President , J.
IT W PagCi Esq., of New Bedford , and a more flim-
'
or) and disjointed report was never laid before a
tody of stockholders—and signed only by the President ,
nnd not as usual, by the President and all the Direc-
tor*. Rumor says there was good roascn why several
of the Directors declined signing it, and no doubt if
called upon , would give the reason ;;and the scene that
occurred when it was offered for their signature. The
report deals in generalities , but goes into no details—
no does it spread the business before the stockholders ,
at is usually done by other Rail Road reports. But
there i* enough to show what flattering estimates the
President then made, and now we have the results.—
He stated at the previous annual meeting the whole
cost and equi pments of the Road was estimated at
$525,000, but that estimate, lie says was too low, and
then goes on to say, that the whole cost of the lload ,
equipments and property purchased up to May 1st, 1849.
including interest on assessments, discount on bonds ,
and. all interest over 6 per cent, was by Treasurer 's
books 8593,386, being onl y $6S ,386 beyond the es-
timate of the previous year , yet with this lesson and
experience before him , he goes on to say that a small
lutmher of claims for land damages and other unad-
justed matters are still outstanding, which will prob-
ably swell the cost ' to $600,000 or upwards. Tire
next time we hear from the parties , is through the Leg-
islature , and they now inform the world , that the Road
in six, months only, after the President stated some
trifling matters might s,well the cost to about $600,000,
has cost $6.16,759, but the end is" not yet. There are still
unsettled land damages, an expensive draw must be put
in at the crossing over Wareham river , wharf rights to
tiie tune of several thousand dollars, and last, though
not least, the President 's compensation for legal ser-
vices, It needs no great stretch of the imag ination to
believe the cost will reach 55630,000, onl y $130,000 over
the estimate , and if the rumored guarantee claim is to
be allowed , then add , at least , $6000 to that amount.
The Directors are the reci pients of the Stockhold-
ers funds—they are bound to use jud gment , discretion
And diligence in superintending the interests of the
Stockholders , and also to give correct information of
the state of their affairs. To arrive at so^ie conclusion ,
I; will give you a pro forma account between the
Directors and Stockholders, as debtor and creditor.;
Directors debtor to Stockholders.

IF TOU WISH TO AVOID ALL ITS ATTENDANT EVIL
CONSEQUENCES , SUCH AS
CONSUMPTION , CANCEROUS HABIT , LIVER
OBSTRUCTIONS , URINARY TROUBLE , &C. ! !
It is a well known fact, established by the ablest Phy-
sic ians, that Diseased or Impure Blood is the source of
the most wasting and life destroy ing Complai nts that
h umanity is subject to. This impurity may be heredi-
ta ry, or it may be received throug h vario us abuses of
the system , inattention to general health , Ac.
The late distinguished Dr. Thatcher , of Plymouth ,
¦thus writes on the subject :
"IIo-w can the disease be hoped to yield to any skill ,
whil e the blood current courses throug h the vei ns loaded
with impurity 1 Sent to the cellular membrane of the
lungs , it gai ns no health y vitalitv , and leaves this deli-
cate membrane of our system only insidio usly affected
with its impure touch , and then recourses itself again ,
till Consumption comes forth developed in all its alarm-
ing and devastating consequences."
To ch eck this foul destroye r of m ank ind , and t o
clea nse the blood thoro ughl y, this powerful alt erat ive of
Dr. Corbett is with confidence given to the public.
It will cure Consumption !—purify tbe Blood !—clean
away all Cancerous Habit!—remove all Urinary Ag-
gravation !—relieve Consti pation of the Bowels!—heal
all Scrofulous Affections , and eradicate t he im bibed
tai nt!—thus giving frcslm'ess and bealthfulness to the
blood , aud securing to the system the fullest health.

[t~?™It is the onl y cure for dropsy. It will give re-
lief in all cases of Gravel, and is a sure cure for that
disease in its earl y stage. It will restore to a state of
health the debilitated Liver and Kidney, eradicate all
the morbid humors which arc secreted in the systom.—
It will drive from the body all eruptions. It will expel
the cause of Rheumatism and Gout from the blood by
its chemical acticn upon that vital fluid. It will cure
Pal pitatio n of the Hear t caused by undue flow of blood
throug h that organ. It will give life and tone to tbe
di gestive organs. It will promote a health y and prop-
er insensible persp iration , without which no system
could sustain itself. It will comp letely chance the whole
man , if diseased, bod y and mind will feel its influence.
Dr. G. C. Vaughn 's Great American Remed y will do
al l th is, and a trial is th e onl y argument we can offer to
support what we have said. We have tried it , have
found it had virtues , told others , they hav e al l proved
its astonishing powers, th e press all over the coun try
speak of it , the Agents say it sells better than any med-
icin e ever sold before. Thousands are now living who

knew her " As a wife, a mother , a friend and a neigh-
bor she was faithfu l in her duties , and kind and affec-

victim of sickness and pain , which she bore with Chris-
tian fortitude and resignation , trusting in that 1-ather
who has purposed to reconcile all things to himself.—
Her faith in this consummat ion of the divine purpose
in Christ was strong, cheering her in life under all her
trials , and supporting her in the hour of death. Of Mrs.
Goodspcert also , it may be said in truth that she was a
good woman—n woman whose virtues shone in the qui-
et walks of social and domestic life, endearing all to
her who had the pleasure of her acquaintance . Like

MATTHIAS RICH , Jr., JOHN RICH.
Boston , Feb. 26. 3m
To the Honorable Senate and House of Representa-
tives in General Court assembled at Boston , in
Massachusetts :
"VJ^E the undersi gned , a Committee chosen at a legal
f f Town Meeting of the citizens of Truro to peti-
tion your Honorable Body to set off' a certain tract of
Sandy Beach in Truro , and annex the same to Prov-
inectown , would make the following representations—
The tract to be set off is bounded as follnws :—on the
west by the line dividing Provineotown from Truro ;
on the north by the Atlantic Ocean ; on the south by
Cape Cod Harbor; and on the east by a line on the
magnetic meridian one mile from the western boundary,
drawn throug h a point on a line due east from the
south boundary stone between Truro and Province-
tow n.
IfPhe above described tract is what forms the East
Harbor, and ia indispensable to the protection of Cape
Cod Harbor.
Truro is now at great expense , risk and inconven-
ience to support a mail road fora dail y mail , no inhab-
itants being nearer than three miles. Three tracts have
at different times been set off to Provincetown , of what
was formerl y Tmro, and the parts set off were very
valuable , and are now more so ; and a small propor-
tion of the taxes would now pay all the expense of the
tract we desire to have set off to Provincetown. We
earnestl y desire , therefore , that this portion above de-
scribed , which is valuable to Trnro , but of importance
to Provincetown in protecting its great harbor and af-
fording conveyance for its dail y mail , be set off to her
that she may have 11 part of the remaining three miles
of waste , wi'th the portions of valuable territory which
she has alread y received.
Provincetown has latel y made fir claims upon the
Post Office Department appear si/strong. that she Inn
had a dail y mail granted her , wljicli is of little advan-
tage to us, but doubles our risk j"h its conveyance.
Your Honorable Bod y arc '
well awar e how great
would be our expense , sho uld' (i" individual lose his
life, or receive any serious cjfiimage to his per»on. bc-
oausc the road over this ti^ict was not safe and con -
venient, f
Is it therefore otberwisefhan just , that Provincetown
should take one mile ofj fli c three which are a loose
drifting sand , carried abjput by every strong wind like
snow '! f
Your petitioners would beg leave to inform you , that
the attention of the Legislature of this State was called
to th e consideration of means and measures for the
preserv ation and protection of said Beach ,,by a peti-
tion of the Selectmen of the town , in the year 1825,
pray ing tbe Legislature to nike such measures as in
thei r wisdom th ey mi ght find ex pedient to preserve
Cape Cod Harbor , by securing this Beach from being
blown and washed into the same. The above petition
of the Selectmen of Truro , was accepted by the Legis-
lature , and Z. Sam pson of Plymouth , and Nymphas
Marston of Barnstablo , were chosen a Committee to
examine tlm premises ; and they, after full examina-
tio n, reported in favor of the petition of the Selectmen
of Truro , and the Legislatu re accepted the report of the
Committee , and passed a Resolve instructing our Sen-
ators and Representatives in Congress to obtain nn
appropriation to accomp lish the object of the Truro
petitioners.
Congress according ly made an appropriat ion tbe nrst
year of three thousand live hundre d dollar s , to secure
said Beach and preserve Provincetown Ilnrbor , agree-
hie, tn the intention of the Resolve of tbe Legislature .
When the United States Eng ineer came to superin-
tend the expenditure of the appropriat ion , lie uicl not
call on the Selectmen of Truro, tbe first petition ers .am
consequent! *- thev had no opportu nity to give a tul
exp la nation of their object as set forth in the.r original
peiition. The individua l selected by the Engineer to ;
su perintend the work , bad most of the money approp n-i
ated. expended in setting out Beach Grass back of
Provinceto wn. 10 the great advantage of said town , but
very little advantag e in protecting Cape Cod Harbor
and that portion of Sand y Beach now asked to be set
off to Provincet own. The appropriation made for sev-
eral successive yea rs by Congress, were reall y desirable
and jud icious, so far as the object contemp lated was
concerned , and had the particular tract now under con-
sideration , been ful ly protected , there would now bo no
parti cular pressing cause for complaint.
Had this tract we now petition to be sot off to Prov-
inectow n , been well secured by Beach Grass, it would
now be comparativel y permanent , and i n stead of being
driv en by every cast wind into Provincetown Harbor,
it would be a valuable protection to said Harbor.
