1t will be seen that our highly valued and
capable brother, the Rev. Charles w. Hayes
now for so many years identified with this d.
geese, both in parochial and Diocesan services,
has at length resigned his connection there
with, and leaves his parish of Holland Patent
this week, to take up his residence at Portland
as Chaplain to Bishop Nicely. We have never
parted with brother with keener regret
These severances of personal intimacy and
friendship make us feel more wildly than any,
thing else that life is fast passing away and
that age and death are insidiOusly drawing OH
apace.
The services of Mr.. Hayes as Secretary and
Assistant Secretary of the Diocese, highly es-
timated as they have been, will now be appre-
ciated better still. 1t is safe to say, that no
journal in this country was ever gotten up with
the thoroughness and ability that distinguish
ed the last Journal of Western New York
While his patient labors in supplying our par
ishes with approved forms of keeping parochial
statistics have wrought wonderful change for
the better among us.
The former carelessness and ignorance in
these matters We're almost incredible but

parts of the Diocese. 1t will be hard to make
his place good, but all will join us in bidding
him hearty God speed in his new field Of

and thence through the great mining re-
giOns of the Territories, TO the vicinity
of Salt Lake City.
1t forms the sole Western link of the
only route to the Pacific which is adopted by
Congress and aided by the issue of

Their road is already completed, equipped
and running for % miles from Sacramento to
within II miles Of the summit OF the Seiras,
and a large amount Of work Of Grading, Tunnel
ling, &c, beyond that point has been accom-
plished.
The First Mortgage Bonds OF this
Company afford unusual inducements OF Safe
ty and Profit to investors, for the following
among other reasons, viz
First. The rates Of interest is Six per cent in
Gold, payable semi annually in the City OF New
Second. The Principal is payable ian Gold at
maturity.
Third. The cost of the Bonds Nineiy-Eivc Der
cent. anil accrued interest, is Fen per cent. less
than that OF the cheapest six per cent. Gold Bear
ing Bonds of the Government.
Fourth. The United States Government pro-
vides nearly half the amount accessory 10

10 n small percentage ON the future si6c
for Repayment.
FVfh. Owing TO this liberal provision, accompanied

for safety and reliability is equallcd only by that
OF the obligations OF the GOV ERNMENT ITSELF.
Serenth. The net earnings OF the completed por-
ton are already largely ia cxesss OF the
Interest obligations which the company
will incur On twice the distance, and are
steadily increasing, rendering the Hasntcrrupt-
cd payment Of the Interest absolutely
certain.
