MISCELLANEOUS NOTICES.
Inxestment Of Money.

Just now, when nearly every holder of
Five-twenty Bonds is debating in his own
mind whether he had better sell out, so as to
realise the great premium on his bonds, or to
wait till he Is offered new bond bearing a
lower rate of interest, a hesitation. natural
with many who hardly know how or where to
renvest their money so as to retain thu higher
rate of interest and still have their capital safe
and tangible-we can refer them with pleasure
to the announcement of Messrs, Fisk & Hatch
the widely known and respected Bankers, in
another column. All will remember tie eff
cheney and earnestness of this firm in the sale
of the great Government Loans during the
dark days of the Rebellion, and many will an
precate the wisdJ ON of their great faith in the
ultimate value of the very FIve-twenties which
are now commanding high premium. Also,
at later date, their wonderful activity and
foresight in predicting great success for the
Central Pacific Railroad, which has been so
fully borne out by the rapid construction and
great earning capacities of the road and the en-
viable distinction its securities have achieved
the world over. These who have bad DEALINGS
with Messrs. Fisk & Hatch 'inow that their
statements may be relied on; and feel that
when they say Bond is as sure to be paid,
principal and interest, as Government Boz d,
it means that they have given careful scrutiny
to the security, and that the staten ent is not
made on their part without thorough convic-
ton that it is so. They now recomm end with
that same confidence the Chesapeak and Ohio
Bonds, of which but small portion remain
unsold. We entertain no doubt thar time will
show their recommendation of these Bonds to
have been as fully warranted as in the case of
Five-Twenties or Central Pacific.
In our special notice column will be found
Messrs. Davis & Co.'S advertisement. A
glimpse at their store convinces us that thew

ticle, in great demand by the number rs display

every sty and color.

ed slippers, and We should recommend all

1t would be impossible for us to go through
and enumerate all that they seem to have in
their store.
Sufficient for us to say that Mr.. Davis is well
known, and his store surely must be thronged
for the next few days.
