The 4’nnndn Koulliern Railway offers through 
its Agents, Messrs, Leonard, Sheldon A Fos¬ 
ter, No. 10 Wall street, N. Y„ the remaining 
$5,000,000 First, Mortgage Sinking Fund 30-year 
Bonds, bearing interest at seven percent., prin¬ 
cipal mid Interest payable in gold, either in New 
York, London or Frankfort. 
This route is 33 miles shorter than any other 
between Buffalo aud Chicago, and the advan¬ 
tages so great as to induce the following well- 
known gentlemen, in connection with others, to 
become largely interested in the enterprise: 
John F. Tracy, President of the Chicago and 
Rock Island, the Chicago and North-Western 
and several other western roads; Milton 
C om? TRIG ITT and Wm. L. Scott, long connected 
with the Lake Shore Road ; Sidney Dillon of 
the Union Pacific; Daniel Drew and George 
Opdyke. Two-thirds of the road have already 
been completed by subscriptions furnished by 
i lie above well-known business men. The bonds 
now offered will complete and fully equip 
the road, and it is expected that the entire line 
will bo ready for use by the close of the present 
year, 1872. The wonderful development of the 
Western Suites, and the demand for cheaper 
freights and greater railroad facilities, assure 
t he success of the great tinea leading from the 
seaboard to that portion of the country. So 
great has been the increase of railroad facilities 
throughout the Western Country that the lines 
leading from the Fast have been crowded beyond 
their capacity, and the result hag been a high 
rate of tariff, particularly during the season of 
closed navigation. In addition to the St mile 9 
saved in distance between Buffalo and Chicago, 
considerable difference is gained in the running 
time, as ninety-six per cent of this route is posi¬ 
tively straight, and much greater speed obtained 
than by t he old circuitous routes. 
The main line is 229 miles long, with branch 
linps amounting to 61 miles in addition; 220 miles 
are graded, bridged and ready for the super¬ 
structure. The remaining 70 miles are under 
contract; nearly all the ties are on the ground 
and 6,600 tons of rails have been delivered and 
paid for. The branch at St. Clair connects with 
the many roads leading to the great mineral and 
lumber region of Michigan, while the main line 
runs through the oil regions of Canada, and ar¬ 
rangements have been made with numerous 
roads leading to Chicago to act as feeders to the 
Canada Southern.
