The remarkable success which attended our
negotiation OF the Loans of the CENTRAL PAcIF-
nc RAILROAD COMPANY and the WESTERN Pa
CIFIC RAILROAD COMPANY and the popularity
and credit which these Loans have maintained
in the markets, both in this country and Europe,
have shown that the First Mortgage Bonds of
wisely Located and honorably managed Railroads
are promptly recognized and readily taken as
the most suitable safe, and advantageous form
of investment, yielding more liberal income
than can hereafter be derived from Government
Bonds and available to take their place
Assured that, in the selection and negotiation
of superior Railroad Loans we are meeting q
great public want, and rendering a valuable SER
vice-both to the holders of Capital and to those
great National works of internal Improvement
whose intrinsic merit and substantial character
entitle them to the use of Capital and the conf
dence of inyestors-we now offer with specias
confidence and satisfaction the 90 z 6 Sc

ha, prepared bill designed to promote the

BONNER AND BoDENBERG.-The Hun
tingdon Republican says that the bodies of
Bohner and Bodenberg were taken out to
the place selected for their burial on We'd
nesday evening, that Bodenberg's body was
buried but Bohner was propped up in his
coffin, plug of tobacco placed in his mouth,
while fiends in human form held drunken
orgy around his corpse. The Globe says the
two negroes who were appointed to inter the
bodies got drunk and left their work unin-
ished the burial being completed in the
morning. This is a terrible commentary on
the moral influence of the death penalty.
A public execution like that at Hunting
don-can never produce any good result, and
it would have been better for the sake of
morality that the condemned men mad been
allowed to go free, rather than that Hunt
ingdon should have been disgraced by such
exhibitions Of brutality as was seen there on
the day of execution.

A New RAILROAD TO CLEARFIELD.-
The bill incorporating the Clearfeld and
Buffaio, n. Y railroad, passed the House
last week. The general impression prevails
that the terminus of this road is at the Bo-
rough of ClearGeld. The bill. as introduced.
requires the Clearield and Buffalo road to
be constructed and opened for public use,
within three years, to point on the line of
the Allegheny Valley Railroad extension in
Clearheld county, or other point in said
county" Unless the bill, before its final
passage. was so amended as to make the ter
minus at Clearfeld. we fear it will be a long
time ere it will be built to this place. Mr..
Wallace should see to this at once.

in spite of the lesson taught by the Mungen

were not delivered on the Army Reduction
bill are to appear in the Globe as if spoken

funny if the public had not to pay for the
fun. The speeches for Buncombe are print
