ICE.—Persons are now busily engaged infilling their ice houses. The quality of ice is beautiful and clear. BOOM PitmenAstn.—The Lock Haven boom has been purchased by the 'Pennsyl vania Railroad Company. LARGE 1 - 100.—Mr. Michael Clepper of this place,killed a hog on 'Tuesday weigh ing Sive hundred and thirty-six pounds This fine porker was raised and fed by Mr Clepper. THE Lebanon Valley College at Ann- Pa., Prof. T. R. Vieltroy, Principal, will open its• winter session on Monday, dab 4th of January. This institution is growing into favor and popularity every day, and not undeservedly, either. PERSONAL.—Joseph S. Gitt., Esq., Chief Engineer of the European and North American Railway, Bangor, Maine, called at our sanctum on Monday. • -If we are to judge from appearances, we would say that his sojourn among the Yankees agreed with WM. PENNSYLVANIA. 'FRUIT C ROWERS' So- CIETY.—The annual meeting will he held in the Orphans' Court room, at Harrisburg, on the third Wednesday in January, being the 20th, 1809. Discussions on all the new .fruits, from Strawberries to Apples, exclu sive, will be engaged in. Members are de sired to attend, and exhibit such fruits as they may have. BRIDGE TENDERS APPOINTED.—Mr. William Reese, of this borough, has been appointed to take charge of this end of the Columbia bridge, to collect tolls, &c. No better, or a more deserving appointment than this could have been made, and we congratulate Mr. Reese on his good luck. No learn that John Beamer has received the appointment at the 'Wrightsville prod of the bridge. SUBSCRIPTION.—If you want to help a paper, always pay your subscription in advance. Send the editor at least one sub scription besides your own, and often it may happen that you can pick up half a dozen. Such things make his heart light ; they make him work with new grit; in short, they make him happy. Flow many of our friends, acting upon this suggestion, will send along new recruits. COLORED GOOD TEMPLARS. —We learn from our excnnnges that a lodge of colored tempters has been instituted in Philadelphia. This we believe is the first attempt made by the colored people in the formation of a temperance lodge, and we hope to see them extend their efforts in this direction. If the colored people of the State would take hold of this organization with vigor, it would be the means of ac complishing a great amount of good. CURISTMAS IN COLUMBIA.—ObriSt mus in Columbia-passed off unnsually quiet. Work and business were suspended generally—every one feasted and rejoiced. Services, appropriate to the occasion, were held in our churches, and the attendance was good. During the afternoon, the "Myers," accompanied by a large con course of citizens, with their new steamer, passed over the bridge to Wrightsville, for the purpose of exhibiting to the good citi zens thereof the "squirting abilities" of the machine. In the evening, the usual num ber of fights resulting from the free distri bution of liquor came off. On Saturday a number of young men were seen wit It black eyes. FREE FIGHT. — On Monday afternoon a Berman named John J. Heoslur, who works for - Hebener, went into Handler's Beer Saloon, on Front street, to get, some beer, and while there he committed a nui satire in the back room. Handler remon strated with him about it, when the de futident drew a knife and cut Handler across the nose and forehead. John Cra mer also received a severe cut on the hand. The defendent had eight cuts on the head caused probably by being struck with chairs, but the witness did not know bow or by whom he was struck. He was too drunk to tell about it. in dentin of buil he was committed to jail to answer, by Es u ire Evans.. STOPPING isiEWSPAPERS.—A curtain man hit his toe against a pebble, and tell headlong to the ground. He was vexed, and under the influence of anger and sell sulliciency he kicked mother earth right saucily. With imperturbable gravity, he looked to see the earth itself dissolve, and come to naught. But the earth remained, and only his poor foot was injured in the encounter. This is the way of man. An article in a newspaper touches" Win in a weak spot, and straightway he sends to stop his paper. With great self-complacency, he looks to see the crash, when the object of his spleen shall cease to be. Poor fool, ho has only bit his own toe against a world that does not perceptibly feel the• shock, and injures to extent none but himself. DuNGEoNs DuNo EONS I I DUN oxoxs!!!—Soule of the /km men, elected last year to the Council, have shown - their love for their fellow-clan by erecting seven dungeons hao which all persons who shall dare to cock their eyes at a member 01 Council, or commit home oilier terrible 01-, (ease, shall he thrust and kept without light or air. It i, hoped that .nu Borough voters will know w hum to timid: for this humane improvement. They were betray ed last year into voting fur some of brig ham yaring,'s pets with the hope that they would act, if elected, as they promised, for the benefit and comfort of all; but nobody ever dreamed that they would spend the Borough money in an extravagant wanner by erecting dungeons. Better, like Dela ware, introduce the whipping post, and give us Copperhead control in style. ANOTHER. SOLDIIIIt GONE.—We are pained to announce the death of Edgar Eyde, Into Captain of Co. K, 45th Regt., Pennsylvania Volunteers, at the Hospital in Harrisburg,on Christmas day, oh billions mania, aged 29 years, 11 months and 25 days. The deceased enlisted as a. private to Capt. E. Y. Rambo's company, 45th Regt., Pennsylvania Volunteers, in September, 1861. After serving three years in that regiment and participating in all the bat tles in which it was engaged, he re-enlisted and was promoted for gallant and meri torious service to a Lieuteneney and finally to a Captaincy. He was severely wounded at the Walden Railroad. As soon ss be' was fit for service, he again joined his com pany, and was taken prisoner at Peters burg, near Fort Steadman, a few days be fore that place was captured. At Farm villa, on Lee's retreat, ho again joined his company. The boys were so rejoiced to see him that they carried hint upon their shoulders in choir exstucy. Cap tain Eyde was a religious and most estemable young man, all who knew him, loved him. During his visisitudes and trials, ha never forgot his faith in his Redeemer and his duty to his God. His funeral took place on Sunduxth,o 11.7t1A insi„ and was attended by a large cc/net:arse of friAds ‘ prgeoedod by Post No, 118 of the tiGraud Army," Wowru KNOWING.— In purchasing furs a sure test of what dealers call" a "'prime" fur is the length and density of the down next the skin. This can readily be determined by blowing a brisk current of air from the mouth "against the set of the fur." If the fibres open readily, exposing the skin to the view, reject the article;, but if the down is so dense that the breath can not penetrate it, or at !nest shows but small portion of the skin, the article may be accepted. LET THERE BE HARMONY—REPUISLI CANS.—The Cops are endeavoring to dis tract our Republicans in hope to carry our borough election": Let there be no division. If we fail now, the Copperheads will con trol our borough affairs for three years. We must be a unit; and select our best men. All private difficulties and minor matters must bo given up for the general good. We have the strength to carry all before us if we turn out and vote solid for ono ticket without scratching. Let the past be forgotten in the determination to win for the future. COULnN ° r• SELL HIS CoEN.—An Ex change tells the following story of a boy .who was sent to a neighboring city with a bag of green corn to sell. The boy was gone all day and returned with the bag un opened, which he dumped on the floor, say ing, "There . is your corn; go and sell it yourself, for I can't." "Sold any ?" "No," said the boy, "I was eh over Philadelphia with it, and nobody said anything about green corn. Two or three fellows asked me what's I got in my bag, and I told them 'Lwas none of thoir business." The boy reminds us of business meta who do not or will not recognize the benefits of advertising". SABBATH SCHOOL EXHIBITION.—The Anniversary Exhibition of the M. E. Sunday School, came off' Wednesday even ing. The exercises were witnessed by a large assemblage. It was a success in every respect. The participants in every item of the programme, did credit to themselves and their teachers ; and amid the universal excellence which characterized the perform ance of their exercises, we are unable to speak specially of the merits of any one pupil, withoutgoing through :the whole pro gramme in detail. The music, dialogues, recitations, d;c., were carefully and judici ously selected. Indeed the conductors of the affair deserve the thanks or our citizens for presenting to them so enjoyable an en tertainment as was witnessed as above. THE relieving ticket was: nominated at the Republican inecting,,-Wednesday even- Burgess—Jacob -Au erter. • Assessor—John Eddy. Const.•able—James McGinnis. High Constable—Chas. A. Hook.

Bruner, Jr. Inspector—Robert Beaehnin The ticket is a good one ; let there be a general rally to its support, and the Cop perheads will be defeated as they never were before. LIFE INSURANCE. —Do those who doubt whether it is wise to place money in a Life Insurance Company ever consider how wonderfully economical the investment is? Take the ordinary life plan of insurance. where the party insured pays his policy yearly. A man of thirty may be insured for one thousand dollars—at the amnia cost of $16.25, or a little over four cents a day. In other words, a workingman has only to drink one glass of beer less every morning to secure hiS family from want. A man of fifty need only pay $36.65, or about ten cents a day, while a man of sixty may be insured for $63.20, or a little more than seventeen cents a day. No man, how ever limited bis circumstances, can refuse ttl pH( away such a small part of his income for the benefit of those dear to him, especi ally when we have a com pany in existence like the National. Lite Insurance Company, whose advertisement we print elsewhere. This Company has in its management men of national reputation for honor and sagaci ty. At itc head we have such alien as Jay Cooke, whose name alone is. an assurance that every promise made by the Company will be redeemed. LOCAL ITEMS.—The life and soul of a country paper eonsists in its amount of local matter—items pertaining to home af fairs. Yet, there is nothing more difficult for an editor than the eolleetion of readable items. Many incidents occur in the com munity worthy of record, but mention them even incidentally, and you have a perfect shower of anathemas hurled at you. Some will allege that it is done for political rea sons, others declare it is done for the pur pose of gratifying personal or private spite. Take it all around;and an editor oral coun- try paper has anything but a pleasant time. Over-grown bullies and thick-headed fools frequently feel themselves aggrieved when little or nothing is said about them, and the distant mutterings of shooting,flog4ing,etc., are frequently heard. Many incidents and items of interest, consequently, occurring in and around this classic region, are fre quently omitted—not through fear of per sonal violence, nor through a spirit of mer cy to these immediately - concerned, but more frequently on account of friends who are personally intimate with both parties. With the the. New Year we blow back a new leaf, and thenceforward we shall record things just as wo find them. DEMOCRATIC iNIZETING —ON :Monday evening hearing a terrible clatter of bells, we hastened into the street supposing there was a lire, not perceiving a light we made inquiry us to the noiseand ascertained that the Town Hall bell was ringing to call the unt errified "Denmeracie" thltherward, for the purpose of setting up men to be knock ed down on Monday next. Having a few leisure moments, we wended our way there to see how the "thing was to be done." En tering the mom we had no difficulty in oh: tabling a seat, as they were nearly all vacant. Robert Crane was elected chair man by Sam. Ninnymatcker. Brigham Young then moved that it committee of three from each ward, be appointed to select a ticket and report the same to the meeting. The chairman was in a quandary, as there were not a sufficient number of persons in the roman to constitute so large a commit tee. Our reporter suggested that the offi cers of the meeting be added there to, which was done. The committee retired to the second story to endorse the "set up'' of the chairman. Shortly thereafter Judge Hamilton en tered the room and enquired whether the meeting had adjourned, as it was occupied by no one but our reporter. Tinallim the coiniuittee returned and brought forth the ticket :as ceimeived by the chairman the-reef. Burgess—John S. Civet'.

RELIGIOUS.—Right Rev. Benjamin Oregon and 'Washington Territories, will Wistar Morris, Missionary Bishop of preach and administer the Rite of Confirma tion in St. Paul's Protestant Episcopal Church, on Monday evening, January Service to commence at 7 o'clock. ' DEATH' OF A PROMINENT ODD PEI, LOW.—Willium Curtis, for twenty-eight years Grand Secretary of the Grand Lodge of Odd Fellows, and Grand Scribe of the Grand Encampment of Pennsylvania, died of apoplexy at his residence, in Philadel phia, on Sunday. DIED OF LOCK JA.w.—A colored roan who came to this place several days ago from Middletown, Pa., stepped on a spike -which penetrated through the sole of his boot into his foot. On Thursday last week,he took lock jaw, from which he died on Fri day last. GREETING.—A nappy New Year to all. Let each one resolve for himself and herself that better uses of time and oppor tunities will be made during the New Year than has been of the past. have any been extravagant, or injudicious, indolent, intemperate, or uncharitable, form a reso lution now, that these sins shall not haunt you during the year. Bulto LALLY AT WRIGIITSVI e Lancaster Ex press learns that on Wednes day night the ticket office of the N. C. 1t W., in Wrightsville, was entered by burglars, who broke upon the safe, using a large iron bar for the purpose, and stole about twenty dollars therefrom. The thieves also carried off a quantity of sausage, the property (kith agent, Mr. Moore, which was hanging in an up stairs room in the same building. DANG EROUS SIDEWALKS.-1n behalf of pedestrians, particularly children and the aged, we ask if something cannot be done to compel property-holders to clear their sidewalks after a snow storm. Damages for injury may cause careless property holders to expend a small sum to make traveling safe. There are plenty of poor boys, after each snow, eager and anxious to be of use, who we hope may be patronized, and thus prevent accident.

From what we have heard of him from the press of other places, as well,as those who have seen him, 9.re have no hesitancy •in saying that he is the greatest illusionist now living. He is also tho preceptor of Prof. Herman, who has such a world-wide reputation, and who, until the advent of Prof. Haselmayer in this country, was considered the greatest magi cian in the world. The Prof. comes to us with such high praise that we advise our friends to secure their seats without delay, as there can be no doubt that the hall will be filled to its utmost capacity. The avant courcur of Prof. ilaselmayer is Mr. Charles Melville, well known to the profession as a most courteous and afhtble gentleman, who, from his outspoken frank ness and pleasant demeanor, makes hosts of friends mind endears himself to all with whom he has business relations. WHITE PINE.:--We extract the renew ing from a private letter received from a friend in Nevada, who has spent many years in Siera Nevada Mountains and the Washo Silver Mines. As many persons hereabouts are interested in "White Pine" it will be of interest to them : SILVER SPRINGS, WIIITE PINE, LANDER CoUNTY, NEVADA, Dec. 15, ISOS.—With us we have had three or four days of cold weather, but now are having beautiful bright weather, and everybody is getting ready for passing the winter here, be it ever so rough. The mines are growing bet ter every day. Also, city lots twelve weeks ago bought and sold for twenty-five dollars, are now being, sold for fifteen hundred dol lars, some more and some not so high. At present there are a great many people com ing here—San Francisco is well represented —they think it better to freeze than be over whelmed by earthquakes. We have two mills and two smelting furnaces erected here and near by, all of which turns out the billion by the ton, or a wagon load three times per week, which is doing well for a new camp hardly four months of age. PROTECT YOURSELVES.—It is a di vine injunction that persons should pro tect their persons from the cold and wet during this inclement season. The best place to get an outfit is at the store of I. 0.

Acet DENT.—There was an e:zrdosiou in Doctor Ayer's Laboratory, lately, which cansed some excitement in the vicinity. Ayer's Pills are manufactured under an enormous pressure, in cylinders, like can non which sometimes prove too weak for the compressed forces, and burst with terri fic violence.

TEE DANCER OF DELAY.—But few di seases require more attention than Colds and Coughs, and few are more generally neglected. How many persons, when they take a cold, consider it of no importance, and let it run on, without reflecting a moment on its consequences. Remember that neglected colds are frequently danger ous, and often result in diseases most diffi cult to cure. A cold in the head produces a cough, then comes pain in the side, fever, difficulty in breathing, and finally ends in Consumption. Who would suffer from a cold, with the probability of a serious at tuck of Catarrh, Bronchitis, Influenza, In flatnmation of the Lungs, &v.. when that efficient preventive, Mishler's Herb Bitters can be had at a moment's notice? It cures the tickling sensation which proceeds a cold, prevent hoarseness, check coughing, expel the mucous gathered in the bronchia, and resist successfully that fell destroyer, Consumption. WE . feel that we arc doing a real ser vice to our readers in throwing out to them from day to day, hints in reference to Cloth ing, what to get, bow to get it, and bow to use it after they get it, points on which they are not pointed, simply because they have been too busy with other things to give this matter much thought. Now we almost all of us buy our clothes ready mad e.an d often because we are struck with the color or quality of the goads, or because we think little about it anyway we are careless about the "fit." Its a well established fact that a garment that fits ex actly will outwear two that do not; but apart from all other considerations it pays to get a good fit if only for the additional comfort you will have in it. 'rake our ad vice and when you boy your next coat see that it fits end if they can't tit you exactly leave your measure. Mr. Wanamaker of Philadelphia, says that he will make you up a garment according to your measure, in two days, and send it to you by express and that it shan't cost one cent more than the' you found it ready made. Seven Dungeons. M. EDITOR:—Last January three new men were elected to our borough Council, and they have furnished us sharp evidence of their ability to advance the cause of modern civilization by erecting seven dun geons at a cost of $2OOO or more. Taxpay ers and citizens of Columbia, are you will ing to submit to such a disgrace, and such an useless expenditure of public money. Think of it, seven dugeons in the centre of our borough, erected under the dictation of Brigham Young, who has proudly as sumed the control of the-Copperhead party and also of our borough. Let all good citi zens opposed to this tyranny be on the alert and use their efforts to defeat the Yan kee ticket, J USTICE. To the Republicans of Columbia You have much at stake in the election of borough officers next Monday, and it Ix; boves you all to act prudently and careful ly. Recollect, if you fail, your enemies will control the affairs of the borough for three years to come, and it will be quite a struggle of throe years to regain your power. You have the majority and can elect if you will. Don't split or divide, but act har moniously and support the ticket of your party unanimously. It is not possible for every Mall always to have his choice of can didates. Some one may be nominated whom wo might object to, but when we lcnow that by scratching the ticket in ono single instance we endanger the whole, it is better to vote for all. Look at what we may lose by a defeat, and who will be benefitted by it? :Nobody but the enemy—and let us learn a lesson for the future, and that is al ways to attend the primary meetings called for the purpose of settling a ticket, and use oar best endeavors in selecting the best can didates. That is a- much better plan than to remain at home and complain afterwards of the ticket settled is not such as we like. A IttieuBLTCAN. Boron:zit Election. MESSRS EDITORS:—I would advise our Republican friends to be on the alert, if they wish to carry the municipal election on the the 4th of January, for the Cops are very busy, holding private caucuses and are determined to succeed. Our friends must know that if we are defeated,the whole control of the borough and ilk: interests'wili be in the bands of the Copperheads—and we shall be ruled with a rod of iron, for they will control the Town Council, Com mon School Board, and elect the Collectors, Treasurer, Superintendent, ,taf., Jc. Brig hum in his last issue,"bas let, the cat out of the bag. He has commenced the manceuvre by denouncing the opening of Bank alio as a very expensive matter, and making it, a scaro crow as if any such measure was really contemplated. le knows the thing Ilas been dropped and not thought of at all, but he believes that if he can convince our citizens that it is seriously thought of, some or thorn may be induced to vote against cur ticket. Now this is all stuff, for some of the property holders who bad desired the street opened, and willing to surrender a portion of their property for the purpose, have changed their minds, and will oppose it, as trenuously us others who have always op posed it. Brigham must try some other dodge. But Republicans mast look out. REPUBLICAN. ~,,tritEtges. Dec. 24th, by the Rev. J. I. Mombert, D. D., as ki.sted by the Rev. F. D. Hoskins, of Towanda, H. M.

REPORT OF T}ll DIRECTORS Ot the Farmers' Mutual Insurance - Co., et the Annual meeting of the Members, on Saturday, the 26th day of Decem• ber, A. D., 1868 : In conformity with a long established custom, the Directors of the Farmers' Mutual Insurance Compan , .• submit a brief statement of their pro ceedlngs'during the year now approaching its termination. Nothing out of the ordinary routine of business has occurred, so that the Directors deem it un necessary to direct the attention of the meeting to anytbing more than a plain narrative of their action upon the several mitt:dines that have been submitted to their consideration. it will be recollected by those who have examined the previous reports made by the Board, that at the close of the two preceding years, the Company was indebted for losses sustained towards the close °teach year, which necessarily remained unsettled for at the time of malting the reports, thus increasing the expenses of the succeeding year by the payment of losses which properly belonged to a former period. TM: heard of Directors dcem themselves for tunate in being able at this time to exhibit a clear balance sheet, all the losses for the cur rent year having been paid, and likewise the back standing debts of the preceding year, leav ing a clear 'MIA for the incoming year, unLt cumbered by losses previously sustained. An actual increase of the amount insured of over a quarter of a million of dollars, affords gratifying evidence of the estimation in which the Institution Is held by a discerning public. On the 11th of January, 1808, the Secretary was directed to levy a tax of one-testy of one per cent. upon the amount then insured, payable on the lath of March following, The greater part of this has been paid; the remainder is now in course of collection. The heat lire that occurred tinting the current year was on the night of the 11th of January, consuming the barn of Samuel L. Leaman, in \Vest Lampeter township, and the contents, owned by the tenant, also insured. It is sup posed that the bolltltne was tired designedly. The next lire was In the dwelling house of James Carroll, in Drumore township, on the night of the 21st if February. The contents were insured by this Company. but the building was insured 11l another company. As there was no person lodging in the house that night It must have been set on tire, or caught by Some lire left by the family on the previous evening. On the fifth day of March the dwelling house of john Schrock of Manheini township accidentally caught tire and wits entirely consumed. Ou the 2d day of Nay the barn of Reuben Royer of Manheim township was entirely destroyed by lire, supposed to be accidental. The stable of Henry Myers of East Ilemplield township was burned on the day 01 July. It caught from a lire kindled In the stable by a small boy, a grandson of Mr. Myers, who was unconscious of tile serious disaster which his childish - freak produced. Several smaller tires occurred which will be noticed lu detail ill the Treasurer's account. The Directors Invariably paid three-fourths of the damage, as estimated and ascertained by the appraisers, not exceeding the amount at which the property was entered for insurance; and altziough 1,11 most instances this was far short of the actual loss, the sufferers were con tent, being convinced that they were fairly dealt with by the Directors, and were paid all they were entitled to aceording to the 1 tiles and by laws of the Company. The number of new policies issued during the past year were 217, COVOTing property to the value of 3tr71,639 Additions made to old policies amounting to Making a total addition of 17.:9,97t; Tile 11(11111)er of policies cancel led reasls,the value of which amounted to 45:3;120 Diminution on old policies amounted to 18,842 Making a total decrease of 470,3:1 Which being deducted Ink!II the Inert:lse, shows an ac tual increase of ;?..269,00; This increase added to the whole am'n t Insured by the Company ns per last year's report stakes the whole amount ia sued at This time The following abstract of the Treasurer's ac count exhibits the Miancial operations of the Company daring the past year: Peter Johns, Esq., Treasurer of the Farmers' Mutual Insurance Company in aceount, With said Company. flit.

T lII' UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD COMPANY, OFFER A LTAIITED AMOTTZTVOF THEIR FIRST MORTGAGE BONDS AT PAR NINE HUNDRED AND SIXTY MILES or the line West from Omaha are now com pleted, aml the work is going on through the Winter. As the distance between the finished portion of the Union and Central PaeMc Rail roads is now less than .100 miles, and both com panies are pushing forward the work with great energy, employing over i;0,C4)0 men, there can be 110 doubt that the whole CiIIAND LINE TO THE PACIFIC Will be open for business In the SUM tiler of IStifi. The regular Government Commissioners have pronounced the Union Pacific Railroad to be ItBT CLASS In every respect, and the Special Commission appointed by the President says,; Taken as a whole, The Union Pattie nailroad hoe been well tonsil-octal, and the general route for the toe c-rrecilingly well selected. The energy and perse verance with which the work has been urged forward, nnli tile rapidity with which It has been executed are without parallel In history, and In grandeur and magnitude of undertaking it has never been equaled." The report states that any deficiencies that exist are only. those Inci dent to all 110 W roads, and that could not have been avoided without. materially retarding the progress. of the great work. Such deficiencies are supplied by all railroad companies after the completion of the UDC, when and wherever ex perience shows them to be necessary. The re port concludes by saying that .• the country has reason to congratulate Itself that th is great work of national importance Is so rapidly approach ing completion under such favorable auspices." The Company have now in use 137 locomotives, and nearly 2,000 ears of all dGscrlptloll4. A.large additional equipment is ordered to he ready in tne Spring. The grading is nearly completed, and ties distributed for 120 nines in advance of the western end of the track. Fully 320 miles of iron for new track are now delivered west of the Missouri river, and 90 miles more are ea route. The total expenditures for construction pur poses In advace of the completed dollars. of the road is not less n than eight million dollars. Besides a donation Item the Government of 12,SW acres per mile, the Company is entitled to subsidy in LT. S. Bonds on its line as completed and accepted, at the average ride of about 5231,1010 per mile, according to the ditlicultles en countered, for which the Government takes a second lei nas security. The Company have al ready receivsd 1 , 33,1.'8, 0 00 of tills subsidy, of 01,...0,000 was paid Dee. all, and 040,000 Dee. 14111. GOVERNMENT _IID OF THE IEOE2 By its charter, the Company is permitted to Issue its own First Mortgage Bonds to the same anumnt its the Government Bonds, and tin more. These Bonds are a First Mortgage upon the whole road and all its equipments. Such a mortgage upon what, no' at long time, will be the only railioad connecting the Atlantic and Pacific :States, takes tile highest rank as safe se curity. The earnings front the way or local business for the year ending Tune al, 1868, on an average of 472 miles, were over FOUR MILLION DOLLARS, which, after paying all expenses, were much more than sufficient tocover all in terest liability upon that distance, and the earnings tar the last live months have been $3.356 570. They would have been greater, if the road had not been taxed to its utmost capacity to transport its own materials for construction. The income from the great passenger travel, the China freights, and supplies for the new Rocky Mountain States and Territories, must be maple for all interest and other liabilities. No political action can reduce the rate or interest. It must remain for thirty years—six per cent, per annum in gold, now equal to-be tween eight and nine per cent. in currency. The principal is then payable in gold. If abond, With such guarantees, were issued by the Gov ernment, Its market price would not be less than from N to:15 per ecnt. Premium. As these bonds are issued under Government authority and supervision, upon what is very largely a Government work, they must ultimately ap proach Government prices. No other corporate bonds are made so secure. The price for the present is PAR, and accrued. Interest six per cent. from July Ist, IStlB, in cur rency.
