+ growing populations, under the benehcehi
l;naronco Of civilization, will, for the good
or man. occasion too great pressure upon
certain rarts Of the earth for the means OF
sutsistcrcc. To obyiate the bad effects OF
this 4, is necessary that the means of distri-
button of supplies amongst the nations shall
be increased. By the agency of steam and
! railways tho system Of distribution OF
the necessartes has been immensely i'm.
proved. But still the world needs this un-
maturcd agency for the distribution OF
fresh, sound meat. That would be the per-
lection Of the Interchange Of productions
amongst the nations, and do more to pro-
mote the general comfort and happiness of
man than any earthly agency within his
power.
In the absence Of this great achievement,
the transportation of live cattle l. matter
that should engage the attention OF the
legislative assemblies of the nation. The

~ FUNDING FIVE-T w E N T Y
BONDS.-We are strongly recommending IN ex-
change for FIyE-TW EHTY BONES and for new
investments the SIX PER CENT. GOLD BONDS
OF THE CHESAPEAKE AND CHIC RAIL
ROAD COMPANY, now selling at % and inter-
est, of which We have only some a5,0oO,COO still UNI
sold. The total amount of the loan Is el5,odO oOo
They issued In denomin nations OF 81, QUO, $500,
and $lo0, coupon ana registered, interest payable
May aud November, in New York city, In United
btstes gold coin.
The CENTRAL PACIFIC SIXES, amounting
to *2S ,ss500o are In sharp demand for the German
markets, and any amount can be sold rs readily as
so many FiTe-Twenty Bonds they arc freely
dealt in at all The prominent Stock Exchanges In
the world, and Will soon advance TO 3 large pre-
MUM. That the same result viii follow with the
Chesapeake and ohio bonds on The cumptet on of
the road We have no doubt.
Holders OF FIVx-TWENTIES by conversion
into CENTRAL PACIFICS, retain the same rate
OF interest and increase their capital about /? per
cent, BY converting into the CHESAPEAKE
AND OHIO BONDS the increase will be about 20
per cent
Holders OF CENTRALS can exchange fer
CHESAPEAKE AND OHIOS, and increase their
capital from te per cent, aud in either case
have bond J:st as sure 10 be paid, p incipal and
interest, as u FiSe-Twenty Bond.
AS the amount OF Chesapeake and Ohio Bends
remaining unsold Is go small, and the demand
very great, they must soon be absorbed. There
are very few CentraIs on the market, and they Will
soon largely advance In price.

A SINGULAR SINK HoLE-TEe jackson
(Mlch.l Citf9e'a says: The plague spot"
On the Air Line Railroad is six miles west
of Three Rivers. On Saturday April 90
the men at work there had for the twenti
eth time put the track in order, and
everything appeared to be ship shape, but
on Monday this track had disappeared,
though no trains had passed over it, ard
large quantity of earth from the side Of
the track trembled, and then like wave
combed over and precipitated itself into
the yawning abyss. This sink holeseems
to battle every resource of man. Spiles
driven down find no abiding place Dirt
and timber almost equal in extent to the
Pyramid Of Cheops have been thrown in
bu. it cries for more, 1t is said that the
lake some distance below shows evidence
Of being disturbed and that its heretofore
clear waters have been considerably rolled.
There il reason to believe that the bed of
the track, and, In fact acres of the appar
emily hard land in the vicinity, have no
| Foundation. but that they are spread over
the surface of the lake that still exists be-
low. The company have expended an
enormous amount of money, and are
almost in despair at the difficulties and
expense of solving the problem which
the sink hole presents. There is apparent
ty no way to get aroun! it. for the land
is low and doubtless Of the same character
for considerable distance each side of
the mai2 track.

A WooD FAMINE THREATENED.-The
last report of the United States Agricul-
tural Bureau makes very strong appeal
to the people to DO what they can to make
I'D for the loss of timber by planting young
trees. a little attention on the part oil
land holders to this matter wonld not only
add greatly to the beauty of the country,
but would increase the value of estates
and prevent what is really in danger of
oyertakiDg us--a wood famine. Over 80,
900 acres of land were denuded of timber
between 1850 and 1850, and are now
fruitful firms Aside from the uses Of
wood for fuel, fencing, ETC., it ranks as a
necessity IN many of the arts and IN various
industrious callings. American oak, pine
and walnut enter largely into our exports
and it is said that a certain gun factory In
Europe during the first two years Of our
War,used no less than $4,000 walnut trees,
imported from this country, in making
gun stocks, which were returned here IN
the shape Of weapons. When we think OF
the immense amount Of timber required
for the construction of wharves, piers,
railways, etc, l. becomes apparent that
measures should be taken,nOt only by the

lature, to provide against wanton desfruc-
tion of forests, and for the repairing OF
necessary loss and waste of timber 1t ap-
pears to us also, that in view Of the rapi /
decay of wood used for piles,sleepers and
similar purposes, that it would be well to
subject material SO used to the Bethel or
some such process, for the purpose OF
resisting decay. 1t is said that wood
which after being submitted to the pro
cess, was used for railroad ties and bridge
timber, was found after a quarter of 4
century's use and exposure, to be as sound
as new timber.
