A Handsome Dividend
   The North Carolina Railroad Company has declared a dividend of eight per cent. This is cheering. Besides the benefit to the patriotic individuals who have so long waited in vain for some return on their investment, the State treasury will realize the handsome sum of $240,000 from this dividend. We congratulate the treasurer, (who will feel nearly as glad as if the money was his own) on this windfall.
