THE
Central Railroad
OF IOWA.
Seven Per Cent. Gold
First MOrtgageBO
FREE OF GOVERNMENT TAX,
AT IS and Accrued Interest.

MANY PERSONS ARE SELLING
THEIR GOVERNMENT BONDS WHILE
THE PREMIUM IS STILL LARGE
AND REINVEST IN THE FIRST
MORTGAGE BONDS Oh THE CEN
TRIAL RAILROAD of IOWA, WHICH
PAY ABOUT ONE-THIRD MORE IN
TEREST. THE TIME TO MAKE SUCH
REIMBURSEMENT is ohile the Treasury IS
buying, and Governments are at 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 Q traffic as soon as com
pleted.
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 splen-
did enterprise, and deserves the most liberal
aid"
The New York Independent says, 1--WE 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 far richer coun-
try. We therefore recommend the Central
Iowa Bonds, with entire confidence in their
value. Tie truth is. that First Mortgage Of
1000 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 of Iowa, can well be
recommended as perfectly safe as we'll as very
profitable investment They are now selling
more rapidly than the Company can use
the money. Pamphlets, with map, may
be obtained, and subscriptions will be
received at THE COMPANY'S OFFICE, No
80 PINE ST., NEW YORK, and at the BANK
OF NORTH AMERICA, A WALL St, and
in Portland by
SWAN Sc BARRETT,
Corner Middle md Plan Streets,
Bonds sent free. Parties subscribing Mrough
local agents ,oiH look to them for their safe DELHI
cry.
Pamphlets sent by mail on application.

SAD AccIDENT.-One man killed and
another badly inJured.-We learn that on
Tuesday last while the laborers on the Port
land & Rochester road, between Alfred and
Springvale, were engaged in tunneling an en-
bankment at place called Shaw's ridge, the
props that supported the top of the embank-
ment, which was very heavy on account ofthe
frost in it, were removed before two men
named Thomas Barry of st. John and Jerry
Conley of Portland had succeeded in getting
away and the heavy earth fell upon them in
juring Barry SO severely that he died in about
two hours, while Conely was severely bruised,
and had leg broken. Both the men were
brought to this city yesterday morning by
train. Conely, who is a married man was taken
to his home, while the body of Barry will be
sent to his friends at St. John. Barry was
about % years of age and unmarried. Conely
is about 40 years of age.

There is very frmland buoyant feeling in the wool
Market and full prices continue to be obtained for
the different grades OF fleece and pulled but there is
less doing after the active movements some
past. This, however, might reasonaby 3e looked for
New York-The demand tor domestic fleece wool
has been moderately active mainly for the finer
grades and as this description has become scarce
those consumers who compelled to replenish their
supplies have been obliged to rather fuller prices
Others whose wants are not SO urgent inclined to
hold off ON the score OF slow sales and poor returns
for goods which they seem to think is sufficient rea-
son why the raw material should not advance Cal
ifornia has also been quite active and firm though
business has been restricted somewhat by the
tyot the finer grades Foreign remains rather quiet
but is firmly held.
Philadelphia.-TheIe is no particular change TO re-
cord 10 the market except that the stock particular
ly Of the medium and fiLe grades are reduced to a
very low figure, and with q steady cOnsnmptiye de-
mand holders are very firm in their views. The
manufacturers generally are bare OF stock but they
purchase with extreme caution, and in but few in
stances show disposition to secure sufficient sup
plies to carry them through until the new clip makes
its appearance.

MORNING AT MOUNT DEsERT-Such is the
title of Harry B. Browns last picture now on
exhibition at Hale's gallery and painted to Or
der by the artist for resident of Cincinnati.
While all the efforts of this talented artist are
deserving of praise we think this last produc-
ton of his brush evinces unusual care and la
Dor. On the right of the foreground the huge
cliffs overhang little sandy cove, their sum-
mits crowned with verdure while, at their
base, embosomed among the low rocks, is o
little CLASSY pool. These giant cliffs stretch
out, evidently for miles, into the ocean and,
at their farthest extremity, is an immense
rock against which the wild waves dash throw
ing on high their spray, and around whose
crest the gulls are wheeling. The atmos-
phere is particularly we'll executed, and the
water reminds one of the words of the poet,
"UD stole, creeping on the shore,
Rolling, cresting, DER and Ger,
The tide-waves, whispering eyermore
To rocks and sand the ocean lore"
Our citizens should not fail to see this work
of art before il leaves for the West.
