WILTou.-This is indeed a lovely town id like all other towns wh_ere health, pros- .rity and happiness abound must have its nes of pleasure and recreation. The past eck has been one of great activity among 0 younger portion of the community not: .thstauding the torrents of rain. Wilton is .e of the “staid old towns,” where, in the most days of our good grandmothers, every man discarded bustles, hoops and water— lls, spun her yarn at home, read the Bible, d were pockets; how for their descendants .ve wandered from these good examples d teachings we shall not stop to inquire. ’e believe they still hold to some of the wise axini_s of their ancestry. This is the town here we find good roads and bridges, fine cen fields, waving with corn, and rich with nes and fruit. The country, though undu- ting, rolling, ever varying in its scenery, is meant; being dotted with substantial farm uses and neat country residences, with the id beautifully woven with peaceful rim- 3, murmuring brooks and rivers, winding eir course around hills, through smiling ies, over rocks, and down dcclivitiesi unding along to the sea. To add to the :ture, we find two or three churches, with eir spires ascending hcavenward, with plots green grass before and around them,beau- 'ully shaded with towering elms and vigor- s growing maples. There is the 51w mill. c grist mill, the blacksmith shop, theshoe op, the shirt factory, all engaged through c week in the hum of business. There are 0 or three stores with gentlemanly pro- retors and clerks, ready to drive a trade, or fire a bargain, and when after the toil and 'eat of a hot summer's day, the farmers d mechanics congregate to spend an even- ;, to hear the news, discuss the affairs of e nation, analize the niinister‘slast sermon, buy a few seeds or agricultural imple- ants; the boys run thither on errands for eir mothers, their sisters, and thcmselves; rifty housewives drive up before the door an early forenoon hour, and go in to make rter of. eggs, butter, cheese and stocking .rn, for cotton cloth, or calico, or new shoes, ith a proper power of squeak in them; the HS flock with red blushes burning on their .ccks to see if any GAZETTE or letter lies or for them in the mail, or to exchange a w words with the sleek haired clerk, or to iger for the twentieth time the limited wk of berages, prints and mouslin de laines hich he ever stands ready to spread about e counter. In town are two or three private Schools, here refined and domestic influences sur- and the young. and systematic training,aid .d develop the mental and moral capacities the pupil, so much to be desired. Not ist of all is the accommodating and thrifty tle Railroad coursing its way up through c valleys and hills as “busy as a bee,” car- ing passengers and freight and giving life d vigor to all the stations along its line. But what I wish to speak of more particu- rly is the Ladies’Fair, which was the great cciality of the week. It was given by the mug ladies of the Congregational Church rd Society—and was a very pleasing afi air. was held in the Agrilxultural Society’s tent which was spread on the green, east of the ‘ arch and so arranged as to take in the store room — a fine spacious building, here the Society transact business and hold cir evening meetings,—which room was and very convenient as a receptacle for any articles not needed for the exhibition. to ladies were assisted by a committee of rifle-men who succeeded admirably in per- :tiug all the necessary arrangements. The blue for the display of articles were splen~ dly arranged in a circle. Those for fancy ticlcs occupying nearly two thirds the cir- 3 of the tent, and were well filled with toys id fancy work,——in. fact we had seldom seen greater variety at a County Fair. All the bios were handsomely decorated with beau- 'ul boquets oi flowers collected from the irdens and fields in the vicinity. The re- eshinent tables were loaded with all the ipetite could wish, while in the center was iotlicr large circular table filled with choice infectionery, which certainly seemed to )utain everything in the vocabulary of sweet things." In the afternoons the atten- auce was limited, towards evening the loads began to gather, but despite this evil ortent, a large concourse of people assem- ch under the tent, and every one appeared r enjoy the occasion. The town’s people, ad many citizens from other towns, as well 5 a. large number of city people being pres- nt to enjoy the festivities. The number of legantly dressed ladies was unusually large, resenting a pleasing array of beauty and isliion seldom witnessed in a country town, ‘he Fair closed on Saturday evening. The ct proceeds were about $300. Guinea’s Farms—The Fair given by the idles of this Parish would have resulted plcndidly had it not rained incessantly ‘ll‘Ollin the week. This being the first Fair 1 much account given by this Society, they made extensive arrangements, so as to give a militant ententertainment. The Fair was told in the Church, a flooring being built. .bove the seats in the body of the church.— l‘he display of needle work, embroidery and ‘ vorsted work was very extensive. Rev. Mr. lclyea and his estimable lady Were present luring the afternoons and evenings, and add- ed much to the pleasure of the occasion.— We hope this Society will find it to their ad- Iantage to give another Fair soon,—hhve ileasant weather, and reap a still greater rc- vard for their labor and expense in getting ip anrcntertainment given for so commen— lable a purpose. The Fair closed Friday :vening. We hear the net receipts were About $600. 13, Romanian—The Railroad people are “amusing the construction of their proposed railroad, and are confident of ultimate suc- cess. lineman—A Series of religious meetings under the direction of Rev. John D. Potter, the Revival Preacher, are to be held in the Congregational church, commencing Sunday Sept. lst, and continuing all the week. AE‘Our West Norwalk friends were ver y successful at their Fair last week, a large at- tcudance being present each evening.

DANBURY.—Tlle Annual Convention of the Christian Missionary Society for New York and New England, will be held in the Disciples Church, commencing, on Thursday, August 29th, at 1 o'clock p. in., and contin- uing each day and evening over Sunday. Ad- dresses wili’ be delivered by prominent preachers. The work on the new portion of the Epis- copal Church is being pushed rapidly forward. The walls have a solid and substantial look. Benj. Stone, Representative from Middle- hury in the last Legislature, died of dysente- ry,.on the 6th. He was for many years a resrdent of Danbury. Wampum—The poet says “whatever is, is right." If it is right to rain 9. whole week when we have Fairs, we beg most respect- fully to differ from him. The hopes of a multitude were frustrated by rain, rain, rain. Fairs here, fairs in Greens Farms and fairs in Wilton; numbers had fixed on the day and evening to attend each, but the vain prospect of a drought prevented. The la- dies of the Congregational Church held their Fair at Bell’s Hall, Wednesday and Thursday afternoons and evenings. They had a large dismay of fancy articles, many of them very valuable ; some of which Sold as high as fifty dollars. Miss L—-, dressed in the Oriental costume of a peasant girl, attracted much attention in her pcrsonation of Rebecca, gracefully dealing out cooling droughts from the well. A few presenta- tions were made which created much mer- riruent and good feeling. The continued rain and prospect of more, induced the la- dies to close the fair Thursday evening and what articles were not disposed of were re- served for a future occasion. The not pro- ceeds were $475. The match game of Base Ball played be- tween the Union’s and Monitor’s last Tues- day afternoon, resulted in a victory for the Union’s. The day was fair and cool and each party entered the contest with their nine properly organized. The Monitor’s claim their defeat was owing to the absence of Messrs. T. and D. Bennett, of Easton, and Mr. H. Smith of Philadelphia, whose names had been booked for the occasion. Tire Union’s have lately made a number of Vail- uablc acquisitions to their playing nine by voting in eight new members from the Euro- ka Club of Mr. Jai'vis' school, Weston. As they are now organized, with a little more field practice, they bid fair to take rank as a first class club. A few young ladies were present adding calal to the occasion, as well as giving zest to the play by waging a few bottles oflperfumery, &c., (a bad prac- tice) with their male friends upon the re- sult. The game was well played througout. The Monitors accepted their defeat grace- fully.

Mr. Benjamin Hub— bell of Wilton, found the horse Tuesday morning in his lot, west of his house, some distance from the road on what is called the “ridge.” It is thought the thief placed it there thinking to remove it the night follow- covered his horse last Friday. A delegation of colored people from Red- diug passed through here last Thursday on a pic-nic to the beach. The rain was before and behind them.

The fire was discovered before it had gained much head way however, and with considerable diflicul- ty extinguished. The lime was badly dain- aged, and probably rendered worthless.

I- THE WESTERN HALF OF THE Great National Trunk Line across , the - Continent. Being constructed with the aid and supervision of the United States Government. Is destined to be one the most important and valuable railroadsin the world, as it is the sole link of communication be- tween the Pacific Coast and the Great Interior Bu- sin, and the ' Principal Portion of the Main Stern Linc be- tween the Two Oceans. Thcpreseut western terriiiiiiis is at Sacramento, on the navigable waters of the Pacific; hirt. it will ultimately extend front Sacramento across the richest and most populous parts of California, Nevada and Utah, contigions to all the great. Mining Regions of the Far West. The Company are authorized to con- tinue their line eastward until it shall meet and con- nect with the roads new building cast of the Rocky Mountain range. Assuming that they will build and control one-half the entire distance between San Francisco and the Missouri River, as now seems probable, the United States will have investcd iii the completion of 865 unit! ' miles. $28,562,000, or at the average rate of $05,000 per mile—not including an absolute grant of 10,000 000 acres of the Public Lands. By becoming a joint investor in the magnificent enterprise, and by wai- ving its first lien in favor of the First Mortgage Boodholdcrs, the General Government, in effect, iii- v:tes the cooperation of private capitalists, and has carefully guarded their interests against all ordinary contingencies. The Central Pacific Railroad enjoys all the privi- leges, grants, and subsidies conferred by the Acts of Congress upon the other parts of the through lilic, and has, in addition, SEVERAL SPECIAL, EXCLUSIVE ADVANTAGES applicable only to the Western Half. I. The Company has received from the State and chief cities of California, assistance in money, credit, and valuable property worth over $3,000,— 000 in gold, in addition to the fiili benefltof the Government subsidy. II. The hardest and costliest part of its construction has been successfully overcome within the first 150 miles. In a few weeks the track will be com- pleted entirely across the Sierra Nevadas, after which progress to Salt Lake will be easy and in r . III. Tlie local business alone of this road establishes its complete financial success, independently of the vast through trafilc which must pass over it. The gross earnings for the months of June and July, upon the 94 miles then open for business. were upward (#8291000 in gold ,' of which four- .fiflhs were net earnings._ It can have no competition, but will carry, bc- side its own lucrative local traffic, the whole trol- mne of lh-roughbusiness which is shared among its Eastern connections and their branches. . The road lies wliolly_ in territory yieldidtr the precious metal, and its revenues are col eclerl ’Lll coin. Its rates for transportationarc very ad- vantageous, being more than threetimes of roads lying cast of it; and the mlio of operating ex- penses is less than 25 per cent of the grease am- was. In consequence of the aid it reaeives from the General Government, from the Stafo of Califor- nia, and from municipal corporations, the annual interest obligations which the Coin any are call- ed upon to assume are very light. ‘he not earn— ings upon an average of about’h‘i miles in 1806, were nearly lhree times the amounl of1 annual inlerosl liabililics to be assumed to. building ll, and were Si- 3,000 more than the annual In- terest on the entire amount of Fir-st Mortga e Bonds which Ihe Company can issue upon l Le jlrsl 150 miles. The Company offer for sale, through us, their First Mortgage Thirty Year, Six per Gent. Coupon Bonds, ‘ PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST PAYABLE IN GOLD COIN, in New York city, They are in sums of $1,000 each, with scmi-annuai gold coupons at- tached, an'd are selling for the present at 95 per cent. and accrued interest front July lst added, in curreu' cy, at which rate they yield nearly NINE PER GENT. UPON THE INVESTMENT. These Bonds, authorized by Act of Congress, are issued only as the work progresses, and to the same amount only as the Bonds granted by the Gov- ernment; and represent, in all cases, the first lien upon a completed, equipped, and productive railroad, in which have been invested Government subsidies, stock subscriptions, donations, surplus earnings, etc. and is worth more than three times the amount of First Mortgage Bonds which can be issued upon it. The agreement of this Company to pay principal and interest of their Bonds in coin, being made un- der the Specie Contract Law of California, authori- zing and enforcing contracts to pay gold is legally binding, unlike similar agreements made by compa< tries in States where no such legislative sanction ex- ists. In tiicse important particulars the Securities of the Central Pacific Company ofl'er (in unusual degree of safely, stability andprofil combined. THE FIRST MORTGAGE BONDS OF THIS COMPANY are destined to occupy a prominent place among FIRST CLASS SECURITIES in the money markets of this country and Europe, and will, without doubt, be eagerly sought for, and anxiously dealt in hereaf- ter, at rates materially in advance of the price at which they are now offered. Having carefully investigated the resources, prog- ress, and prospects of the road, and the management of the Company’s affairs, we cordially recommend tlicsc- Bonds to Trustees, Executors, Instructors, and others as an eminently sound, reliable and re- miureralicejorm of permanent invesement.

The rapid progress of the Union Pacific Railroad, new building west from Omaha, Nebraska, and for- ming, with its western connections, an unbroken line across the continent, attracts attention to the value of the First Mortgage Bonds which the Com- pany now offer to the public. The first question asked by prudent investors is, “Are these bonds sc- cure i" Next, “Are they a profitable investment?" To reply in brief: lst. Tire early completion of the whole great line to the Pacific is as certain as any future business event can be. The government grant of over twen- ty million acres of land and fifty million dollars in its own bonds practically guarantees it. One fourth of the work is already done, and the track continues to be laid at the rate of two miles ‘a day. 2d. The Union Pacific Railroad bonds are issued upon what promises to be one of the most profitable lines of railroad in the country. 'For many years it must be the only line connecting the Atlantic and Pacific ; and being without competition, it can maintain remnnerative rates. 3d. 425 miles of this road are finished, and hilly equipped, with depots, locomotives, cars, &c., and two trains are daily running each way. The materi- als tor the remaining 92 miles to the eastern base of the RockyMofintains are on hand, and it is under contract to be done in September. 4th. The net earnings of the sections already finished are several times greater than the gold inter- est upon the Flrst Mortgage Bonds upon such sec- tions, and if not. another mile of the road were built the part already completed would not only pay in- terest and expenses, but be profitable to the Com. pany. 5th. The Union Pacific Railroad bonds can be is- sucd only as the road progresses, and therefore can never be in the market unless they represent a bone fidc property. ' 0th. Their amount is strictly limited by law to a sum equal to what is granted by the U. S. Govern- ment, and for which it takes a second lien as its se- curity. This amount upon the first'517 miles west from Omaha is only $16,000 per mile. 7th. The fact that the U. S. Government considers a second lieu upon the road agood investment, and that some of the shrewdest railroad builders of the country have already paid in five million dollars up- on the stock (which is to them a third lien) may well inspire confidence in a first lien. 8th. Although it is not claimed that there can be any better securities than governments, there are parties who consider a first-mortgage upon such a property as this the very best security in the world and who sell their Governments to re-invest in these bonds—thus securing a greater interest. 9th. As the Union Pacific Railroad Bonds are efi‘er ed for the present at 90 cents on a dollar and accrued interest, they are the cheapest security in the mar- ket-being more than 15 per cent. less than U. S. Stocks. At the current rate of premium on gold, they pay OVER NINE PER CENT, INTEREST, The daily Subscriptions are already large, and and they will continue to be received in New York by the Conrmsuur.

Dll. J. w. POLAND’S HUMOR DOCTOR. Positive Remedy for all kinds of Humors. PARTICULARLY ERYSIPELAS, NETTLE BASH, SALT RHEUM, SCRCFULA, CARBUN- . onus, BOILS AND PILES. It is very easy to say of this. or any other Medicine “It is the very best Remedy known." It is not nil- ways so easy to prove it. It is. however, exceed- ingly gratifying to the proprietor of this Medi- cine. first, while he declares to the public that this is amost wonderful and effective Specific for Hu- mors, as stated above, be he; abundant proof at hand to sustain him. For sixteen years the Honor: Docs-on has been manufactured and sold, and every year has increased the value of its reputation, and the amount of Its sales. In New Hampshire. where it was origina- ted, no remedy tor Homers is so highly prized. An eminent physician (now an army surgeon.) when practicing in N. H. purchased between any and six- ty gallons of it, during some seven or eight years, and used it in his’practice. He has since then or- dered it for the Hospital where he was stationed. Other physicians have purchased it, and have used it in practice with perfect success. When the pro prietor lived in New Hampshire, at Gofi'stowu Cen- tre, for the space of thirty or forty miles around, and in Manchester particularly, the Humor Doctor was well known and highly valued for the numer- ous and wonderful cures which it efi‘ected. Though manufactured in large quantities, the mply was frequently exhausted, and purchasers had to wait for more to be made. Inthat region some very se- vere cases of Emalpel swore treated with it, and they were cured. Erysipelas sores, or Carbuneleo those ugly painful ulcers, were entirely removed, wherever this medicine was faithfully used. So it was with Scrorula and Salt Rheum. The Humor Doctor cured them. Since the Proprietor‘s removal to Metrose. Mass" his present residence, he has been regularly selling it to patients who have applied to him in person, and has been very successful in relieving and curing them. One case of Erysipela's-of an old man 1'2 years—is worth mentioning in particular. When he came to the Doctor‘s office he could only wear a pair of old rubber over-shoes his feet and ankles were so swollen and sore. When he pulled of his seeks the scabs came with them, and the raw bleeding feet were frightful to behold. Sumce it to say, that less than one dozen bottles of the Humor Doctor (and in a few weeks) heated up those feet and ankles, so that they were smooth and apparently sound. The mauwore boots without inconvenience. Numerous cases of pimples in ”ref ca have been treated with this medicine, to the entire eradication of them. In Mclrose alone, there are more than a hundred per- sons who have used the Humor Doctor, and give it an excellent name. In all the towns around it is well known and approved. For the sake of showing what is thought of it, a few testimonials are here inserted :— MILTON GALE, ESQ, Boston. I hereby certify than was sorely amicted with bolts for two years, developing themselves upon my my body. The sufferings which I endured from them are indescribable. Suffice it to say that I faith- fully tried several of the most popular humor remedies, but without removing the afiliction. At length, by the earnest request ofan intimate friend I was induced to try Dr. J. W. Poland‘s Humor Doctor and am very happy to attest that all my bolls were removed, and my health was restored by using Dr. Poland‘s aforesaid medicine. HILTON GALE. Boston, January 11th, 1856. A. C. WALLACE, ESQ. Manchester, 11. H. Dr. J. W. Poland, Dcar' Sir—I very cheerfully give my testimony in favor of your Humor Doctor as an excellent remedy for Homers. My numerous acquaintances in Manchester know how severely I was afiiictcd with boils, and they know how perfect- 1y good my health is at present. You: Humor Doc- tor cund me. Please mr to me for particulars in my case. A. C. WALLACE. Manchester, N. 11., June 11th, 1856. MRS. WHEELER, stoneham, Man, I very confidently and earnestly recommend Dr. J. W. Poland's Humor Doctor as an excellent reme- dy for Hunters, having been wonderfully benefitted by it myself. My own case was a very severe and obstinate one. For more than two years the skin upon the inside of both my hands, and even down on the wrist. was constantly cracked and broken up, so that I was unable to use my hands in any kind ofwot work, and was obliged to wear gloves in sewing to avoid getting blood upon my work. The Hunter which so afflicted me was probably a combination of Erysipelas and Salt Rheum. My general health was quite poor. Soon after I began to use the Hu- mor Doctor. I could perceive signs of healing. I continued to take the medicine till I' was finally cured. My hands are now perfectly free from Hu- mors,'and to all appearances my whole system is clear of it, and has been for several months. I used eight bottles before I felt safe to give It entirely up, but they cared me. HARRIET WHEELER. , Stoneham, Mass, July 5th, 1858. MRS. PORTER, Dover, N. H. Dover, N. 11., July 22, 1855. Dr. Poland—I received your letter enquiring as to the effects of your medicine on sea sickness. I am happy to say that I think it Is “the medicine" for that dreadful sickness. I tried various prescriptions but found none‘that settled the stomach and cleared the head like the Humor Doctor.
