 The Company have abundant means in their treasury. and make no appeal to the public to purchase their Bonds, as the daily subscrip- tions are entirely satisfactory; but they sub nit that for entire security and liberal returns there is certainly no better investment in the market.

The Prin- cipal is payable in gold at maturity. The price is 1O2 and at the present rate of gold. these bonds pay an annual income on their cost.
 The Company believe that these Bonds, at the present rate are the cheapest security in the market and reserve sthe right to advance the price at any time. Subscription will be re ceived in New York
 Subscriptions will be received in Litchfeld, by H. R. Colt, Cashier, First National Bank Ltchfeld and in New York at the Company's Office, No. 20 Nassau st. John J.
