ning, May 4th, Pr. Cuyler will address the Rhe
torical Society.—The Day of Prayer for'Colleges
was observed as usual in Auburn, by a morning
meeting ,at the Seminary, and in the various
churches in the evening.
Union Seminary. —The New York correspon
dent of The Presbyterian (Rev. Maurice C. Sut
pheo), writes: “A recent visit to the Union The
ological Seminary of this city, warrants the
statement that it is in a most prosperous con
dition. Its students enjoy the labors of four
Professors, besides an instructor in Hebrew,
and an instructor in Elocution—all gifted
men, thorough teachers, and fully alive to
the interests of their pupils. Professor Henry
B. Smith has been suffering for some weeks from
illness, but is now rapidly recovering, and expects
soon to resume his duties. One hundred and
twenty-eight names now appear upon the roll of
the Seminary. Of these students, forty-one ex
pect to receive their diplomas in May next, and
to go forth to preach the Gospel. A minister of
the last gencration| said, with reference to his
class in theological study, ‘ There were four of
us examined together for license, and I thought
there were so many of us it would be hard to find
places. What would he have said to a graduat
ing class of forty-one, with scores more to make
the batch of new ministers larger from the vari
ous other Seminaries of the land. But God has
a place for all to be useful in whom He calls into
the vineyard, and He will not let them stand idle
if they are willing to work. It is pleasant to be
told that th*‘ library of twenty-eight thousand
volumes during the past year, sev
eral large and valuable collections of rare works,
and that the patrons of this useful institution are
devising for it still more liberal things."

The Greenwich St. Church added twelve
to its membership on Sabbath the 7th inst. Nine
of these by profession. Fifteen have been added
to this church since the beginning of the year.
The Sunday-school is in a flourishing condition,
450 being in attendance. Mr. Hutton preaches,
on next Sabbath, a sermon in memorial of the
late Randolph Sailer, Esq.
South Church. —Eighteen members were
added to this church last Sabbath, and seventeen
at the communion in January, making thirty-five
since the Rev. Dr. Parsons took charge of this
church a few months ago, and there are quite a
number of others anxious about their eternal wel
fare. This must be encouraging to Dr. Parsons
in his labors, and we hope to see them more
abundantly blessed.
—The Day of Prayer for Colleges two weeks ago
was observed with much spirit and profit, though
not by large numbers of our people. The pres
ence of Dr. Atterbury and Rev Secretary Bald
win in the meetings, enhanced their interest, and
the impression left was a happy one, as it tended
to deepen the feeling of the close connexion of
the great object of our prayers, the increase of
the ministry, with the spirituality of the individual
church.
—The retirement of the highly popular preacher
of the Reformecl Dutch Church in our city, Rev.
T. Dewitt Talmage, and his removal to a church
of the Old School branch is an event of the past
week.
—Mr. Thomas H. Powerß, of the firm of Powers
& Weightman, has presented the Philadelphia
City Tract Society with 60,000 English and
10,000 German Tracts for the month’s circula
tion. He gave the Society a Tract last year,
“Barker Renouncing Infidelity,” 75,000. He
has promised annually to furnish a Tract; are
there not other good men in the Church of
Christ who will do likewise ?
CITT CIIAItITIES.
In Senator Worthington’s Report on the pro

Many other institutions are merely named in
the report; especially those sustained by denomi
national interest, e. g.: Home and Asylum for
Orphans and Indigent, (Luth.) Western Provi

House of Industry, House of the Good Shep

Poor, Northern Association for do.
Blockley Almshouse has from 2,000 to 3,000
inmates; and is a stupendous specimen of the
misapplied charity so often met. with on a smaller
scale, that of supporting and encouraging tl e
idle and worthless poor, indiscriminately with the
necessitous and deserving. The County Jails are
not included in this review of the Committee.
A very imperfect resume of the original cost
and the State and private apropriations to these
charities, exclusive of Blockley Almshouse, gives
us the enormous sum of $7,500,000, with an an
nual outlay of $850,000. Probably one million
dollars a year are now expended on these refor
matory and charitable institutions of this city, and
their total cost thus far has probably much ex
ceeded ten millions.
The Report of this Committee, while expressly
disclaiming any purpose to enter upon the dis
cussion respecting Lunatic Asylums, approves of
their management in the main, referring to
abuses in the insane departments of county alms
houses.

11 The insurance of life is one of the most Chris
tian things that I know; for what is it? It is
taking the load that would crush one family and’
spreading it over twenty thousand families, so that
a mere drop lights upon each, instead of the over
whelming torrent falling upon one. It is a beau
tiful illustration of bearing one another’s burdens.”
—Rev. Dr. Gumming.
The “ American Life Insurance C 0.,” of this
city has paid to widows and orphaus more than a
million of dollars, in many cases providing for
families that would otherwise have been, entirely
destitute.

To Consumptives.
THE Advertiser, having been restored to health in a few
weeks, by a very simple remedy, after having suffered seve
ral years with a severe lung affection, and that dread disease, Con
sumption—is anxious to make known to his fellow-sufferers the
means of cure.
To all who desire it, he will send a copy of the prescription used
(free of charge), with the directions for preparing and using the
same, which they will find a sure Cure jor Consumption, Asthma,
Bronchitis, etc. The object of the advertiser in sending the Pre

he conceives to be invaluable; and he hopes every sufferer will try
his remedy, as it will cost them nothing, and may prove a blessing.

*
Paint will ease tlie greatest pain,
Paint will cure foul ulcers deep,
From them inflammation keep;
An invention that will last
When all liniments are past,
When all pills and powders fall,
Pain Paint will outlive them all.
The latest scientific discoveries prove that the principle of eva
poration and absorption is the only method by which inflammation
can be instantly removed. But the absorbents will not drink water
readily, for the flesh is of an oily nature, and water rolls off. Hot
liniments have utterly failed, for they always Inflame and burn the
flesh wherever applied, while oils or ointments clog the pores and
prevent the escape of morbid matter. JJut a preparation has been
made and already tested on over 500.000 people, suffering all kinds
of pain and disease that is possible to enumerate, ard it acts like
magic on each and every individual. It is limpid as water, and is
as harmless; will not «tain or smart, and so prepared that the ab
sorbents drink it rapidly and the evaporation that instantly arises
through the million of pores is really marvellous. It is an inven
tion hitherto unknown, but is of as much importance as the intro
ducUon of steam or the magnetic telegraph; for the drying up
single tear has more of honest fame than shedding seas of gore
this article not only dispels all heat and fever, but evaporates ou
all impurity and morbid matter of the system or blood at any poin
wherever applied. This novelty is Da. Wolcott’s Pain Paint. His
, office at ho. 181 Chatham Square, N. Y., has a greater number of
patients, with every type of disease, than any hospital in America
or Europe. This fact alone enables him to give the best practical
advice to Ihoße who suffer from any malady, disease or p&in. It
costs the patient nothing for advice, beside all pain is instantly re
moved free of cost. Tens of thousands given up as hopeless are
permanently cured, and restored to the activity of life.
A large share of these applicants suffer with drug disease, and
hare bad their whole system medicated and poisoned through and
IhroUglt with medicine. Da. Wolcott condemns most emphatically
all drag treatment, and prove* practically that disease can be radi
cally expelled from the system without dosing the stomach. The
advent of Pain Paint overturns the old theory of care; and medical
practitioners are at their wits end in beholding such uadoniable
and astonishing euros of those cases considered by themselves as
utterly hopeless. Hundreds come over one thousand miles to ob
tain treatment and advice; many have been suffering for years who
are unable from sickness or poverty to make the journey. To all
snob it wiil be more practicable to purchase his remedies and have
them sent free of express chargee. A pint of Pain Paint (double
strength) will be sent for $5; a quart for or a gallon for $2O, on
receipt of the money at No. 181 Chatham Square. N. Y., or doz.
pints of Wolcott’s Anuihllator, for the core of Catarrh $6, with full
directions and advice Small bottles can be bought at all first class
Drug Stores. Beware of all imitators who offer worihl-si compounds.

As 500 miles of the western portion of the line, beginning at S
cramento, are also done, but
To be Finished, to Open the Grand
Through Line to the Pacific. This
Opening will certainly take place early
this season.
Besides a donation from the Government of 12,800 acres of land
per mile, the Company is entitled to subsidy in IT. S. Bonds on i
I ne as completed and accepted, at the average rate of abou
$26,500 por mile, according to the difficulties encountered, for which
the Government take a second li»u as security. Whether sub
sidies are given to any other companies or not, the Governmen
will comply with all its contracts with the Union Pacific Railroad
Company. Nearly the whole amount of bonds to which the Com
pany will be entitled have already been delivered. t
First Mortgage Bonds
By its charter the Company is permitted to issue its own FIRS?
MORTGAGE BONDS to thesame amount as the Bond'-,
ami no more. These Bonds are a First Mortgage upon the whole
road and all its equipments.
THEY HAVE THIRTY YEARS TO RUN, AT SIX PER CENT,
and both
Such securities aie generally valuable in proportion to the length
of time they have to run. The longest six per cent gold intere»;
bonds of the U. S., (the ’Bl’s) will be due in 12 years, and they ar»*
worth 112. If they had 30 years to run, they would stand at dm
less than 125. A perfectly safe First Mortgage Bond like theUni--..
Pacific should approach this rate. The demand for European ir
vestment is already considerable, and on the completion of the
work will doubtless carry the price to a large premium.
It needs no argument to show that a First Mortgage of $26,5 ‘hi
per mile upon what for a long time must be the only railroad c-'t>
uecting the Atlas tic and Pacific States is perfectly secure. T!>
entire amount of the mortgage will be about $36,000,000, and Ui<
Interest $1,800,000 per annum in gold. The present currency com
of this interest is less than $2,500,000 per annum, while the gro
earning* for the year 1868, FROM WAY BUSINESS only, on A’•
AVERAGE OF LESS THAN 700 MILES OF ROAD IN OPEItA
TION, WERE MORE THAN

This large amount is only an indication of tttl immense traffic
that must go ovtr the through line in a few months, when the
great tide of Pacific coast travel and trade will begin. It is esti
mated that this business must make the earnings of the road frou
FIFTEEN TO TWENTY MILLIONS A YEAR.
As the supply of these Bonds will soon cease, parties who desiio
to invest in them will find it for theiriuterestto do so at once. Th<
price for the present is par and accrued interest from Jac.l, n.
