AN ATTEMPTED INNOVATION. THE Kent

AN ATTEMPTED INNOVATION Kent
Nc,cs says:-An attempt was made at the
Chesterville camp to prohibit the old es-
tablished and innoceut custom of promen-
aiding. The Incorporate language used
by one of the ministers in promulgating
the order gave offence to those in the hab-
1t of indulging in that innocent pastimc,
and was condemning not only by the
tent-holders, but by some of the clergy as
well. The consequence was that the
camp ground was nearly deserted for sev-
'eral days, and it was deemed prudent to
modify or revoke the order.

ESTABLISHED. lS4S.

WE respectfully call the attention of our
w friends and customers to the advantages
offered as an investment by the WILMINGTON
and READING RAIL ROAD. First Mortgage
I Per Cent Bonds. The price at which they are
offered is only S5 and accrued interest, at which
price they net the purchaser 8 l-5 Per Cent Per
Annum, Clear Of aH 4d1es, either State or Ma
tional. We unhesitatingly recommend the Bonds
as being, in all respects, A FIRST CLASS INVEST
MENT
Holders of Government Securities may realize
an especial advantage by exchanging them for
these Bonds. For example, take $40 Bond of
1867 for $1,000. AT the present rate of premium
on gold it yields the holder in currency frac-
tion over eight per cent, on its par oalue 1t may
be sold however, at premium of Itcenty-oae per
cent. and the proceeds invested in Wilmington
and Reading r. R. Bonds with the following
result
1000 5-2Os at l21 yield................l210.o 90
l400 Wilmington \ Reading R. r.
Bonds at S5 cost,,,,,.,,.......... ...1l90. 90
The yield of interest from the former
investment (gold at 81 premium
amounts o'.,....t,,',,,,,...,.82.B 30 per year
But from the latter it amounts to. 81. 90 ;" :"
Or in other words, while the money invested in
5-20s yield over eight per cent. on the par yalue
OF the Bond, the same money invested in Will
mington and Reading r. r. Bonds will yield
nearly Ten Per Cent. Per AnRun with an ad-
ditional profit of over 5000 at the maturity of
the bonds, and the further advantage that in
come from the bonds is clear of all taxes, while
interest from u S. Bonds is subject to tax as a
part of the owners income
We are prepared at all times to furnish the
bonds without any charge to customers for COM
mission.
We continue to transact all business relating
to the investment or loaning of money.

quired by everybody as a cathartic, nor was ever
any before SO universally adopted into use, in ev-
cry country and among all classes as this mild
but efficient purgatiye Pill The obvious reason
IS that IL IL reliable Snd far more ehectual

sands Of certificates Of their remarkable cures Of
the following complaints, but such cures are known
