New Jersey Southern Railroad.

W. S. Sneden Esq. the former popular lessee of the New Jersey Southern, when it passed under the name of the "Raritan and Delaware Bay," has accepted this position upon the road as superintendent. Mr. Sneden knows the road thoroughly from its inception to the present time, and from this point alone, his superintendency will be of great value. In addition to this, he is a thoroughly competent civil engineer, under whose superintendency has passed almost all the surveys of the road. He is a gentleman of pleasing address and urbane manners, and enters upon his duties, arduous and difficult as they are, with the full confidence of both the company and the employees. The New Jersey Southern has become one of the powerful corporations of the land, and has made its arrangements with a far sightedness of policy, which cannot fail in the end to make it a wealthy one. A large amount of travel goes now from this region over the road and our patrons will be pleased to learn, that it is under the superintendency of so competent a gentleman as W. S. Sneden.

Mr. White, the general ticket agent of the company, has been compelled by enfeebled health, to resign his place as general ticket agent of the company. Mr. C. P. Fadden, has been appointed to his place. Mr. F. is a comparatively young man, previously in the employ of the company, as a book-keeper and general clerk. His promotion is only a recognition of his ability, and it is certain that the duties of his post, will be discharged in a manner which will leave no room for complaint.
