The 7-8O bonds Of the Northern Pacific Railroad,
which have now taken their place among the solid

lowing leading features;
They are first and only mortgage on the road, Its
equipments and earnings, and also, as fast as the
road Ia completed on $4,000 acres OF land tn each
mile Of track; they bear interest at the rate Of B.
10 per cent both principal and interest payable
in gold, the principal in thirty years from 1870, and
the interest semi-annually (Jsnuary and JulyD at
the banking houses Of Jay Cooke & Co., Phlladel-

They are exempt from United States tax, and are
issued OF the following denominations; Coupon,

ment for the Companys land at the atter's lowest
cash price. The proceeds OF all sales Of lands are
required to be devoted to the purchase and cancel
lation of the First Mortgage Bonds Of the Compa-
ny. The Land Grant of the Road, exceeding Fifty
Million Acres constitutes an Immense Sinking Fund
which will probably cancel the principal of the
Company's bonded debt before 1t falls due.
U, s. 5-20s, Delaware State bonds, Wilmington
City Loan and all other marketable Stocks and Bonds
will be received at their highest current price in

A oolored youth named Isaac Nichols was
instantly killed on Christmas day He was seated
upon fence with the breech OF his gun upon the
ground, when the rail broke and in his fall the
gsn exploded and the load penetrated his side.
The people OF Talbot arc evidently not yet
satisfied with the conclusion in the supposed
Platter suicide.
A mule and loaded cart were pushed off the
bridge over Miles River, last week, by another
cart which attempted to pass, but the mule was
extricated before it drowned and the load OF
goods was but slightly damaged.

How the Prince of Wales was treated

Tho desperate illness and the remarkable re-
coyery of the Prince of Wales seem likely to
furnish a new chapter in medical history. The
treatment of typhoid in old times was by deple-
ti0n; in more recent times 1t has been by alco-
kolic stimulation. In the present case this was
discarded and tonics given instead. The sue
cess of this new treatment may give rise to fur
ther researches as to the use Of alcoholic slim
ulants in case Of disease where the exhaustion
is so prolonged as in this.
