Any one investing in these Bonds has the
satisfaction Of knowing, that his bond is GER
tain to be paid at maturity and further that
he assists in building in the city of New York
a permanent Temple Of Industry, which will
be an ornament and a pride to every Ameri-
can.
Each Bondholder, until his bond is re-
deemed, is q part owner of twenty. two acres
Of land situated in the heart of the city Of
New York, and estimated to be worth Two
Million -Four Hundred Thousand Dollars.
And the building which is estimated to cost
Seven Millions.
The excavations for the foun iation was
commenced on the 10th Of May 1875, and the
building will be ready to receive the goods
from the Centennial Exhibition at its close.
No investment for people of small meaus
was ever offered e~qualing the Bonds OF the In
dustrial Exhibition Co: The bonds are Sc
cured by mortgage which makes the principal
safe, and eminently secure, and In addition to
which each bondholder participates four times
q year in the allotment of premiums above
named.
The difference between these bonds and a
lottery ticket is, in o lottery the holder must
lose his money or draw a prize, while the
holder Of an Industrial Exhibition Bond can
not lose his investment, but must have re-
turned TO him the principal and a small rate
of interest added, and in addition has az OPP
portunity to draw a premium ranging from
$50 to 500, 900. .
The Board Of Directors and the Trustees Of
the mortgagage are among the most eminent
of the business men Of New York. and is OF
itself a guarantee that the bonds are a safe
and desirable investment.
The Company is not responsible for any
money sent. except it be BY check, postal or;
der, draft or express payable to the order Of
the Industrial Exhibition Company.
Circulars sent on application.

THE CHESAPEAKE AND OHIO RAILROAD
General Freight Agent Fitch, of the Cbcsa-
peake and Ohio railroad, has just issued a
circular to the ,)atrons and shippers by this
route, from which we make the following
extract:
We are pleased to be able to announce
to our patrons that the difficulties encoun.
tered in the past two months by reason of
unusual rigors Of the season are fairly ter
minated, and we are now prepared, with in
cleas ed facilities, to- guarantee to shippers
satisfaction in the prompt dispatch and rates
charged for the transportation Of all freights
entrusted to Us. a liberal support at This
time will insure the success OF this great en-.
terprise, which all must admit is destined 10
have so important and beneficial an int1u-
ence upon the business interests and pros
perity not only Of the States through which
it extends, but to all the South Atlantic
States as well, being as it is the shortest
route connecting the Atlantic coast with the
principal produce centres of the West"
The management of the Chesapeake and
Ohio road is in the hands of skilful and eff.
cient officials, who are thoroughly competent
to discharge the duties incident to the in-
crease in the freig bit business which is al
ways greatly augmented during the spring
and summer months, now so near at band.
In short time, too, the travel to the West,
as we'll as from that section, will he on the
increase and we may confidently look for a
PROSPEROUS season to the road.

THE New LlCTuRE-ROoM OF CENTENARY
METHODIST CHURCH TO BE OPENED MARCH
1Tu.-lt was expected that the lecture-room
OF this church would be ready for use to.
morrow, but in consequence Of the un'aVora-
bIe state of the weather during the past week
it has been impossible to complete the work
and furnish the room. The lccture.room,
therefore, will not be opened for public SER
vices until Sunday morning, March 7th, by
which time the painting will be perfectly dry
and everything in readiness for the Sunday
school and for public worship.
1t would be hard any where to find more
commodious and comfortable lecture.room
thar tins promises to bc--With all tie ar
rangements for infant classroom, bible class
room, pastors study, and accommodations
for the seating Of congregation OF
five or six hundred people. By nova
BILE sash, filled with grouud-glass, all
the rooms can be thrown together, furnish
ing space for large congregation. The
large room is well lighted, the painting is
handsomely executed, the gas fixtures in
keeping with the other work and appoint
ments, the whole presenting piece of work
man>hip highly crcGitable to the architect and
the builder. 10 addition to the Settees there
has been provided large number of chairs
for the use OF the Sunday School and for seat
| ing the congregation. The cold and damp
| weather has delayed the completion of the
| work thus lar prosecuted much longer than
was anticipated when the work was taken iu
hand. 1t will probably be two or three
months before the main audience room will
he finished. When completed il will com
pare iayorably with any church in the city.
