MISCELLANEOUS.

THESE BONDS CAN BE REGISTERED
SIX MILLIONS OF DOLLARS PAID-UP STOCK
SUBSCRIPTIONS. No bonds issued ON road un-
der construction issue limited $40 900 per mile of
road built and in running order, BEING ONLY
ABOUT HALF THE ACTUAL COST. The road is
being built with great economy for cash; 15O Miles
are already completed in the most thorough manner,
equipped and running regular trains; and the whole
within the ensuing year. 1t is one OF the most i'm
portant roads in the State of New York. 1t short
ems the route from New York City to Buffalo 70
miles land to Oswego 45 miles, it traverses populous
district destitute of other railroad facilities, which
must furnish it large and profitable local busi-
ness; and it will be completed at an aggregate cost
far below that of any competing line. These advan-
tages cannot fail to make it one of the best paying
roads leading from the metropolis, and its First
Mortgage Bonds one of the safest securities ever is
sued. All mortgage bonds issued on railroads run
ming from the City of New York are good, and the
interest promptly paid, although some of them are
mortgaged for more than double the amount per
mile that the Midland is. Among the bonds now
Offering we know of none equal to these. For the
investment of trust other funds there is nothing
better; and in exchange for Government Bonds
they give large increase of income besides capital
izng the premium. They are meeting with rapid
sale and have been gratiied to find that they are
taken chiefly by most conservative and sagacous
capitalists in exchange for Government securities.

BURoLARY.-The store of Messrs. W.
G. MILLER & Son was entered by
thieves last Wednesday night. The en-
trance was effected by cutting hole
through the weather. boarding in the
rear of the building. There was taken
SIC SO, currency in the drawer; one
bolt of farmers satin, bucket, and a
few poundsof sugar, the whole amount
ing to about $40. The large safe of
the firm bore evidence of having been
tampered with, but no entrance was eff
fected. The thief came nearer his end.
that night, than probably ever before.
A spring gun was connected with the
door leading from the back room, into
whieh the entrance was effected, to the
store room. The cap Of the gun was
found exploded, thus showing that the
thief entered that way, and that by an
accident alone was he saved from re-
ceiving the heavy charge ofthe gun
We hope that he, or the community,
whichever you please, will have better
luck next time.

R A city cotemporary suggests

R- A city contemporary. suggests
that the "Guyascutus" is to be reor-
ganized for the purpose of abating
some of the nuisances about town.
We trust no such thing will be done.
One illegal act never cured another
illegal act. Every one will admit
that these nuisances should be aba
ted, but let it be done in conformity
to law, and not by mob violence
The law is ample for the purpose, if
rigidly enforced, and we believe our
officers will do that in every case
properly brought to their notice. If
done in She way our cotemporary
suggests, the result will be, proba-
bly,, more or less injury to property,
andsthen the presentation of d bill
which the ax-payers of the city will
have to foot. We enter our protest
against all such work.

~ ~Our Washington letter.

@ Our Washington letter, this
week, is of unusual interest to our peo-
pie. 1t contains suggestions which it
will be well for them to heed. We may
be on the airline route from Washing
ton to Cincinnati-our natural advan-
tages may be paramount to all others
I'VE may, even, be the club" of the
airline railroad from Washington to
Cincinnati-yet, without interest or ef
fort on the part Of our people, it may
miss us, and leave US ''outin the cold"
Others, more active and energetic,
may secure its location elsewhere. Our
people need to think of these things, and
when the emergency comes, act prompt
ly and decisively.

Steamboat Barnt-Two Lives
Lost Boat and Cargo a Total
Loss.

The steamer Silver Cloud No 2. q
n-wheeler, bound from Cincinnati
to Pittsburg, was totally destroyed
by FIRE, short distance above Point
Pleasant, w. Va, and some six miles
from this city, on Monday evening
last, about 6 o'clock. The fire
caught in some bailed hay, and was
very rspid in its work of destruction.
AS soon as it was discovered, the
boat was run ashore, at the mouth
of Old Town creek, on the Virginia
side. Every effort was made TO ex-
tinguish the FIRE, and save the boat
and cargo, but without avail-she
and her cargo were totally destroyed,
and all that is now to be seen of her,
above water, is the jack staff.
Two lives are known to be lost.
One man, becoming scared and be
wildered, jumped overheard and was
drowned. The other was the watch
man of the boat. He was asleep in
his birth at the time, and being over
looked In the confusion of the mo-
ment, was burned.
The extent of the loss, on boat
and cargo, we have not learned. 1t
M ust, however, be heavy, as she was
a good sized stern wheeler, and, as
seen from our wharf when she passed,
had good trip. principally hay.
She was owned by Capt. j. B. Con-
WAY, of Pittsburg.
