goods but bond for the whole amount of his
purchase money, payable after thirty years. and
guaranteed by the Credit Foroier and other
moneyed corporations. The prices charged are
said to be no greater than in any other retail
shops. This is really eating your own cake in
order TO keep it the more you spend the richer
you will be; indeed it sets at defiance the whole

forty days residence for establishing domioile,

NECESSITY FOR 1T.

The want of a Line of Telegraph, located with
a view to accommodate the river trad, has long
been felt. Many important towns are now with
out any telegraphic communication whatever and
the lines now established between other point:
are, in most cases, disconnected, following cir
cuitous routes hundreds of miles out of a direct
course, causing vexatious and unnecessary delay:
to business, by reason of numerous repetitiOns
and the frequent interruptions incident to long
lines. When the facts are borne in mind that thu
liability of telegraph line to damage from AM
cause is increased in the same proportion as it
length, and that the repetition of a message dou
bles the time necessary for its transmission, tn
great and very important advantages of direc
route over the circuitous ones now in operation
can readily be seen.

THE PROSPECT

Is most fattering. The location of the line is
one of the best in the country. II passes througG
a large number of important cities and towns where
commercial intercourse is large and rapidly in
creaslng. The country along the river is receiv-
ing constant accessions of wealth and population,
and these will bring an increase of trade which
must correspondingly add largely every year to
the business and profits of the company. Allthe
old Telegraph companies throughout the country
now, AID have been, paying satisfactory div
idends, capital stock that has been repeated
edly watered. If these companies, controlled by
q few wealthy individuals owning nearly all the
stock, can do this it is quite reasonable to sup
pose that a company, owned and mana sed by il:
patrons, with its lines desirably located, md
with limited amount of stock, can at least dc
equally as well.
