Fa7THE FREQUENT applications made to
the undersigned by persons Of moderate
means, to put out upon securities at interest,
sums too small to make it an object to the
borrowar, have induced them to adopt plan
by which money can in any sum bring to the
pOssess0r n rate of interest equal to that
claimed by larger Capitalists, aud secured in
the most convenient and ample manner. 1t is
by the combination Of large sums in one Loan,
and secured by one security, SO that each de-
positor-no matter how small his amount
may receive the income to which his money is
entitled and that too, in such as will combine
in his possession both the eveidence of money
loaned and the use Of money deposited.
Money. in case or gold dust, will be received
on Deposit in sums of ten dollars and upwards,
for which certificates Of deposit will be issued,
bearing date the first or fifteenth of the month,
payable on demand, or at specified times, at
the option of the depostors. If payable on
demand, they will be without interest, unless
the money remain on deposit one month, in
which case they viii draw interest of one per
cent per month, but no interest for fractional
parts Of a month. II deposited for specified
times, certificates will be issued bearing one
and a half per cent. per month interest for
such time Interest will cease at maturity !:
so that if deposi;ors desire to continue their
GepOSlteS after their ceftincateStau uue. tney
must he presented for payment and renewal
otherwise interest ceases.
The advantages not hitherto supplied to de-
postiors, and which we present by this institu-
ton, are:

guaranteed by us, and in all cases amply Sc
cured by mortgages, state. county and city

Err. Trustees for depostors with Pacific Loan
and Secretary b nix which fact, added to an
experience Of FIVE years in this city, in all
branches Of the business connected with loans
upon real estate CT the investigation of titles
to property, will present this as the best saw
ings' bank to the frugal and Industrious
a register is kept at all times open to de-
positors for inspection, in which appear their
names, the number Of certificates of deposit
issued, aud the securities upon which the
money deposited has been placed.
Our certificates arc issued in the sum Of
ten dollars. and one hundred dollars. and in
such other convenient amounts as may become

Platform and Principles OF the
American Organizations.

The following are the platform and princi-
pies of the American Organization, adopted
by the National Council at Philadelphia:
PLATFORM AND PRINCIPLES.
1.-The acknowledgment of that Almighty
Being, who rules over the Universe-who
presides over the Councils Of Nations-who
conducts the affairs of men, and who, in every
step by which we have advanced to the char
acter of an independent nation has distin-
guished us by some token of Providential
agency.
1.-THE cultivation and development Of
a sentiment of profound and intense Ameri-
can feeling; of passionate attachment to our
country, its history and its institutions; of
admiration for the purer days of our national
existence; of generation for the heroism that
precpitated our Revolution, and of emulation
of the virtue, wisdom and patriotism that
framed our Constitution and first successful
ly applied its provisions. 49,.
III.-The maintenance OF the Union OF
these United States as the paramount politi-
cal good; or to use the language of Washing
ton, 1.-THE primary object ofpatriotic desire. "
And hence:-
LIST. Opposition to all attempt to weaken
or subvert it.
I'd. Uncompromising antagonism to every
principle of policy that endangers it.
Sd. The advocacy Of an equitable adjust
met of all political differences which threat
ems its integrity Or pcrpetuity.
4th. The suppression OF all tendencies to

THE MAGNITUDE OF THE EARTH.-Accord
ing to recent authority the circumference of
the Globe is twenty-five thousand and twenty
miles. 1t is not so easy to comprehend so
stupendous circle as to put down its extent
in figures. 1t becomes more palpable, per-
haps; by comparison, such as this "A rail-
way train, travelling inccssantly, night and
day, at the rate of twenty-five miles an hour,
would require six weeks to go round it. The
cubcal bulk of the earth is two hundred and
sixty thousand millions of cubic miles DR..
Lartncr says, if the material which form the
globe were built up in the form of a column,
having pedestal of the magnitude of Eng
land and Wales, the height of the column
would be nearly four-and a-half millions Of

THE FAITHFUL. DoG.-We were touched by
simple statement of the loss of boy and
the fidelity of dog in last weeks Caledo-
MAN. The boy fell into the River in Barton,
unseen by any one but girl. A large dog
owned near by heard the splash, ran to the
spot, and leaped into the stream. 1t was
Just dark, and boy and dog disappeared be-
fore any help arrived. Next day the bodies
were taken from the water together. the dog
grasping the boys coat and vest collar in his
mouth, and the arms of the boy clasped round
the dogs body. So firmly were they united
in the struggle of death that they were sepa-
rated with no little difficulty. The grasp of
the boy was such as to prevent him from
using his legs otherwise he would doubtless
have rescued the boy burlington Press.
