MANY PERSONS ARE SELLING
THEIR GOVERNMENT BONDS WHILE
THE PUEMIUM is STILL LARGE Gas the
Treasury has promised to buy thirteen mil
lions in December) AND REINvESTIN TIE
FIRST MORTGAGE BONDS of the CEN
TRIAL RAILROAD of IOWA, WHICH
PAY ABOUT ONE-THIRD MORE IN
TEREST. THE TIME TO MAKE SUCH
REIMBURSEMENT is ochae the Treasury rs
buying, and Governments are at a premium.
THE ROAD DOES NOT RUN THROUGH
A WILDERNESS, where it would have to
wait years for population and business, but
through the most thickly settled and product
i've agricultural counties in the State, which
gives each section lar e traffic as soon as com
peted.
1t runs through the great coal fields OF
Southern Iowa to the North where coal is in
dispensable and must be carried.
1t runs from the great lumber regions of the
North, through district of country which is
destitute of this prime necessity.
The mortgage is made to the Farmers Loan
and Trust Co., of N. Y, and bonds can be is
sued only at the rate of $4,000 per mile, or on
ly half the amount upon some other roads.
Special security is provided for the principal
and for the payment of interest.
The New York Tribune says "this is a splen-
did enterprise, and deserves the most liberal
aid"
The New York independent says, ave know
the Central Railroad of Iowa is one of the
great and good works of the age. Its Direc-
tors include many of our leading bank presi-
dents and other gentlemen of high character
who have means enough to build two or three
such roads out of their own pockets, so that all
its affairs will be ably as well as honestly man
aged. The Central of Iowa will be to that
State what the New York Central is to this,
except that it runs through a far richer coun-
try. We therefore recommend the Central
Iowa Bonds, with entire confidence in their
value. Tie truth is, that a First Mortgage OF
SIG, 600 per mile upon a road running through
such country cannot be otherwise than safe.
First Mortgage Bonds for so small an amount
upon road running through such a rich and
already well-settled part eff Iowa, can well be
recommended as perfectly safe as well as very
profitable investment Pamphlets with map,

TIE FIRE IN GoRHAM.-We understand
that Elder Charles Cressey was absent from
home, in Massachusetts, ON Friday, the day on
which his house and barn in West Gorham
were consumed. His wife, with one of the
younger members of his family, were the only
ones at home. The fire was first discovered in
the shed, which spread quickly both ways to-
wards the house and barn, and both of the Sc
buildings were speedily enveloped in flames
so that only a few articles of furniture and
valuable papers were saved. The loss COM
prises good farm house, barn-said to con-
tain GO tons of hay-wagon, and farming tools.
One horse was burned inside the barn; anoth-
err broke loose and escaped, but was so much
injured that he will probably have to be killed
son was fortunately absent with the third
horse. The property is said to be insured.

terms of the Pulaski Hotel, in Savannah, Co.,
at which point the party made their first stop
on their Southern tour. The house was for
merly kept by Mr.. John Bartels, originally
from Portland under whose proprietorship it
obtained an enviable popularity, and, we un-

most agreeable resort for New Englanders.
Mr.. Carroll was formerly from Portland, and
is glad to welcome and do all in his power to
render his hotel an agreeable home for Port
