DARIEN.
DuAu Gunman—Accept the greetings of the season.
Nature is coquettiug in her most beautifull dress. We
should think you would want to break away from
types, ink and printer’s vvexatlons just for' a little
while and come over 'to Darien and breathe our pure
air and feast your eyes on our Charming landscapes.
Some of your Norwalk friends are beginning to HI-
preciate the attractions of this place, and others will
come into it gradually as the scales fall from their
eyes. We have here neither princes nor presidents,
bishops, nor archbishops, but we have Archers and
there is plenty of room for other magnates civil or
magnates ecclesiastical. .
If anybody says that Daricn is not a pleasant town
we can only reply that he is mistaken.
The Daricn Temperance Union is in successful ope-
' ration, with over eighty members on the roll, and the
roll is still rolling 111).!
Last Sabbath Mr. Fletcher, of Hartford, missionary
in the cause of Sabbath Schools was with us. Atl
o‘clock, he addressed the Congregational School, for
many years under the charge of Dea. George Mather,
its beloved superintendent.
At half past 4 he addressed the Union Sabbath
School at Ox Ridge, which is under the efficient; man-
agement of Melville E. Mead, Esq. It was the day of
its fourth anniversary and we could but feel at the
closing of the exercises, as the clouds lifted in the
\ western sky to let the sun cover the landscape with
‘1 his golden light, that it was almost prophetic of the
‘ still brighter future of this school.
\ The religious societies in this town are in a healthy
l condition. Five were received into the Congrega-
tional Church attire last communion. This society
has recently voted to transfer the afternoon preach-
li ug service into the evening, for the summer months.
The ladies, with characteristic energy, have just cush-
ioncd the seats uniformly throughout, at an expense
f over 5300. Last autumn the church edifice was
painted and put in first rate order at an expense of
inure than 5500, as was also the Methodist Church.
W. W. Brady, Esq., has just moved into his new
ousc which crowns the Ridge.

‘ purpose of the meeting was to reconsider the vote

appropriating $15,000 for the same. A motion was
made and seconded that the farm be sold, which was
amended by appointing a committee to make the
sale. The question was debated at great length
which resulted in so convincing the meeting that it
would be contrary to the interests ofvtlie‘ town to sell
the farm, that the vote to sell was lost by about four
to one—Jefi‘crsonian.

Give Them In Charge.
A bright boy of one of our friends took on
bitterly and would not be comforted when
he heard that his father was going to Europe,
but immediately dried his tears when told
by his father that he was expected to look
after the family, and especially to look
after his mother’s comfort. He was de-
lighted with the idea of doing something, and
so proved the wisdom of that philosophy
which prescribes active kindness to others as
the medicine for our own complaints. The
young heart that so easily trusts and loves
has quite as ready a spring of joy, and it is
marvellous upon how small a capital Im-
a
'1 spoiled children can be happy.
The lesson here taught commends itself to
parents and teachers. The activity of chil-
dren is irrepressible. The only question is,
How shall it be directed? We have seen a
little fellow kept happy for hours, driving
bugs oli‘ the trunk of trees, in a place where
but for this charge he would have been fret-
ful and discontented. Give an active boy
something to do, which shall fully occupy
his time, and impress him with a sense of
responsibility and usefulness, and you make
him cheerful and satisfied.

600 MILES OI“. THE
UnIon Pacific
RAILR OAD
Are now finished and in operation. Sixty miles of
track have been laid this spring, and the work along
the whole line between the Atlantic and Pacific States
is being pushed forward more rapidly than ever be-
fore. Morc than twenty thousand men are employed
and it is not impossible that the entire track, from
Omaha to Sacramento, will be finished in 1509 instead
of 1870. The means provided are ample, and all that
energy, men and money can do to secure the comple-
tion of this
GREAT NATIONAL WORK,
at the earliest possible day, will be done.
The UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD CO.
I.—A Government Grant of the right of way,
and all necessary timbcrand other materials found
along the line of its operations.
II.«— A Government Grant of 12,:00 acres of
land to the mile, taken in alternate sections o,l
each side of its road. This is an absolute dona-
tion, and will be a source of large revenue in the
future. ‘
III.~A Government. Grant of United States
Thirty year Bonds, amounting to from 816,000 to
£48,000 per mile, according to the difficulties to be
surmounted on the ynrious sections to be built.
The Government takes a second mortgage as se-
curity, and it is expected that not only the interest
but the principal amount may be paid in services
rendered by the Company in transporting troops,
mails, &c. The interest is now much more than
paid in this way, besides securing a great saving
in time and money to the Government.
IV.—-A Government Grant of the right to is-
sue its FIRST MORTGAGE BONDS, to aid in
building the road, to the same amount as the U.
S. Bonds, issued for the same purpose, and no
more. Tun Govnnsnnsr Puunrrs the Trustees for
the Mortgage Bondholders to deliver the Bonds to
the Company only as the road is completed, and
after it has been e§amined by United States Com-
missioners and pronounced to be in all respects a
first-class Railroad, laid with a heavy T rail, and
completely supplied with depots, stations, tum-
outs, car-shops, locomotives, cars, A70.
N.—A Capital Stock Subscription from the
Stockholders, of which over Eight Million Dollars
have been paid in upon the work already done,
and will be increased as the wants of the Compa‘
ny require. ,
VI.—th Cash Earnings on its Way Business,
that already amount to more than the interest on
the First Mortgage Bonds. These earnings are no
indication of the vast through truths that must fol-
low thc opening of the Pacific, but they certainly
prove that l

amount,
Are Secured Beyond Any Contlngcncy.
The Company have abundant mems in their
treasury, and make no appeal to the public to purchase
their Bonds. as the daily subscriptions are entirely sat-
isfactory; but. they submit that, for entire security
and liberal returns, there is certainly no better invest-
ment in the market. , '
The Union Pacific Bonds are for $1,000 each, and
have coupons attached. They have thirty years to run,
and bear annual interest, payable on the first days of
January and July at the Company’s Oflice in the City
of New York, at the rate of six per cent. in gold. The
Principal is paypble in gold at'mnturlty. At the pres-
ent rate of gold, these bonds pay an annual income on
their cost of nearly
NEARLY NINE PER CENT,
AND IT IS BELIEVED THAT THEY WILL SOON
BE AT A PREMIUM.
The Company reserve the right to advance the price
of their bonds to a rate above par at any time, and
will not fill any orders or receive any subscriptions on
which the money has not been actually paid at the
Company's oflice before the time of such advance.
Subscriptions will be received in NORWALK, by
The NATIONAL BANK of NORWALK,
and in New York
A: the (10.98 Office, No. 20 Nassau Sn,
and by JOHN J. 01800 & SON, Bankers, No. 50
Wall Street, and by the Company’s advertised agents
throughout the United States.
Remittances should be made in drafts or other funds
at par in New York, and the Bands will be sent free of
charge by return express. Parties subscribing through
local agents, will look to themfor their safe delivery.
A PAMPHLET and MAP FOR 1868 has just been
published by the Company, giving fuller infozmatiou
than is possible in an advertisement, respecting the
Progress of the Work, the Resources of the Country
traversed by the Road, the Means f Construction,
and the value of the Bonds, which wi be so at free on

advertised agents.
