lis Exemption from State or Mu-
Ricipal Taxation,

But aside from all the advantages we have
enumerated, special Act of Congress en-
empts all bonds and Treasury notes from
local taxation. On the average, this eXemp-
ton is worth about two per cent. per an
mum, according to the rate of taxation in va
rious parts of the country.
1t is believed that no securities offer SO
great inducements 10 lenders as those issued
by the government. In all other forms of
Indebtedness, the faith or ability of private
parties or stock companies or separate com
muni,ies only, is pledged for payment,
while the whole property otthe country is held
to secure the discharge of all the obligations
of the Uuited States.
While the government offers the most lib
eraI terms for its loans, it believes that the
very strongest appeal will be to the loyalty
and patriotism of the people
Duplicate certificates will be issued for all
deposits. The party depositing must endorse
upon the original certificate the denomina-
tion of notes required, and whether they are
to be issued in blank or payable to ORDER
When so endorsed it must be left with the

of our city began to break up. There was
no crashing noise, as usual on such occa.
sions, onIthe contrary the ice gradually gave
way and glided off before many of our PEG.
pie were aware Of the fact. No damage was
sustained by any of the steamboats, lying at
the wharf, and the aatboats, bargss, etc., es
capped injury. The ice continued to run out
for several hours, when it ceased. 1t is
thought the river is clear for about fifteen
miles above the city.

The ice gorged against the piers Of the
bridges, and huge masses of it are stacked
up for many miles beyond the city.
The ice in the creek which empties into

ing, and was attended with much damage
to property. Two or three of the bridges
on the Central Ohio Railroad were carried
away by the ice, and the wreck foated into
