with their baskets of good things, sailed
down the river in half a dozen of the large}

flags for the occasion; to the grove. . Ar-

Blowing for a New Settlement.
The Independent has the following novel.
method for building up a Western town 2——
Apettifogging lawyer and manager in a.
new settlement in Wisconsin gave amission~
ary of the American Sunday-school Union
the following account of a Sunday-school:
“ I organized thelfirst Sunday-school in this
country, and ran it myself one season. We
came in here early, all Ameriacns. We
wanted to draw in decent, industrious fami-
lies, and to keep out all foreigners and row -
dies . SO I said: ‘ A Sunday-school will
attract the folks we want, and keep oth-
ers out. It will be the best and the cheap-
est way to blow for the settlement.’ There
was not one of us that pretended to have
one grain ofpiety; so they pitched upon me
to carry out the plan. I did so, and sent- to
your society and got a library, and ran the
school all summer. It did the blowing for
us splendidly. Before summer was ended,
some Christian families came in :v and, as
they had a. better stock of piety, I gave over
the Sunday-school to their hands. It was a.
grand thing for us . There wasn’ta foreign-
er of any sort that ever stayed in the settle~
ment Inore than one night. We secured a
good American and moral settlement. In
fact, it got to be so pious that I couldn’t- live
there myself.” ’

THE RIGHT KIND OF RELIGION—I, want,

that banishes all small measures from the

bles from cotton bags and sugar, rocks from
wool, chicory from coffee, alum from bread,
lard from butter, strychnine from wine, and
water from milk-cans. The religion that
is to advance the world will not put all the
big strawberries and peaches on the top, and
all bad ones at the bottom. It will not offer
more baskets of foreign wines than the vine-
yards cver produced in bottles.—- Uncle Nick.

OFFICE NEW YORK TRIBUNE, J an. 20th, 1863.
I used a quantity of Croasdale’s Super-Phosphate on
corn and other crops last year, and the result was
highly satisfactory, especially on the corn. My opin-
1011 is, it will pay to use good Phosphate, such as yours,
on utmost any crops, no mattér how rich the soil is.
It Ives the young plant avigorous start that is felt
dllrmg the entire season.
Yours, SAMUEL SINCLAIR.
THE WAY TO BRING UP WORN OUT FARMS.
Slalcnwnl of Professor James C'. Booth, of the results of
Croaadale’a Super-Phosphate on hlsfarm of 60 acres,
near White Hall, Del. Co., I’LL, during the term of
five years.
The returns are the cash receipts, after deducting
the purchase of only the feed and seed. The llulnbcr
of cows are added to show, lst: That. a considerable
amount: of cash has been expanded intltz‘apurchmc.
2d: That a farm cap gal-dually dispense or diminish
with the purchase of fertilizers, by increasin its home
)roduction of manure: The cash returns 0 1861 show _
how poor the 60 acres were before using the Pltoshota.
To the last. cash account of 1865, and to the value or
the number of cows, should be added the very large
increase of fodder and manure, and the greatly in-
created fertility of the soil.

Jar. and secured by a Bail.
Tunic—When the band 'and bail are applied, its
combinations form a complete handle, thereby dis-
pensIng with all liftch or other appliances, which
have hitherto been in use for removing the Jar from
boiling water.
Fonn-ru—It is constructed with a Glass Cover, which
sets over the neck of the Jar, resting on an elastic-
band on the otttcr surface of the shoulder, thus pre-
venting any flavor being imparted to the fruit by me-
talic or poisonous substances. This advantage alone
renders its superiority such as to bring it into imme-
diate and general use with the public.
Full directions for coolrlng with each Jar.

AFTER TWO AND ONE HALF YEARS EXPERIENCE THE FACT IS NOW ESTABLISHED BEYOND A DOUBT, THAT
3;.
6110 MILES OF THE
Unidn Pacific
RAILROAD '
Arc now finished and in operation. Sixty miles of
track have been laid this spring, and the work along
the whole lillc between the Atlantic and Pacific States
is being pushed forward more rapidly than overbe-
forc. More than twenty thousand men are employed
and it: is not impossible that: the entire track; from
Omaha to Sacramento, will be finished in 1860 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. receive:
I.—A Government Grant of the right: of way,
and all necessary timberand other materials found
along the line of its operations.
Il.-—A Government Grant of 12,500 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
Tllilty year Bonds, amounting to from 516,000 to
$48,000 per mile, according to the difllcultics to be
surmounted on the ,various sections to be built.
Tire Government takes a second mortgage as sc-
enrity, 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,
malls, &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. Tm: Govnnxnnsr Pannlrs the Trustees for
the Mortgage Bondholdcrs to deliver the Bonds to
the Company only as the road is completed, and
after it has been examined 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, turn-
OIlts, car-shops, locomotives, cars, tile.
N.—A Capital Stock Subscription from the
Stockholders, of which over Eight Millimi 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 Bustness,
that already amount to more than the interest on .
.the First Mortgage Bonds. These earnings are no
indication of the vast through tratllc that; must fol-
low the opcning of the Pacific, but they certainly
prove that
FIRST MORTGAGE BONDS
upon such a premarty, costing nearly three times their
amount, .
Are Secured Beyond Any Contingency.
The Union Pacific Bonds run thirty years, are for
$1,000 each, and have coupons attached. They hear an-
nual interest, payable on the first days of January and
July at; the Company’s Office in the City of New York,
at the rate of six per cent. in gold. The Principal is
payable in gold at maturity. The price is 102, and at
the present rate of gold, they pay a liberal income on
their cost. «
The Company believe that these Bonds, at the pres-
ent rate are the cheapest security in the market, and
reserve the right to advance the price at any time.
Subscriptions will be received in New York.
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 put 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 office before the time of such advance.
Subscriptions will be received inNORWALKby
