BETI-IEL.

Mussns. Enrronsz~0n Wednesday, Aug. 20th, the
Third Annual “Gathering of the Andrews Family,”
convened at the old homestead-mow the property of
Thomas Andrews—in Wild Cat District. .

There were nearly one hundred of the descendants
and invged guests present, representing four gener-
ations — children, grand-children, great-grandchil-
dren, and great-great—gran d-ehildren—descendants of
Eden and Deborah Andrews, the immediate descen-
dants of the original settlers of what is now the town
of Bethe). _

The day was the finest that could have been selected;
the sun was shaded by thin clouds, which rendered it.
cool and very pleasant for an out-door gathering.

The company began to assemble about 10 o’clock,
a. m., rind MI 3, o’clock the tables were ready; load-
ed and fairly groaning under the weight of good
things, and soon the party were seated, and a blessing
being pronounced by Mr. Thomas Andrews, active
operations were immediately fcomni'enced by the hun-
gry party. Judging from the way things disapp‘cd
in our immediate vicinity, the most ample justice was
done to the collation. -

After dinner, the assembly was called to order by
Mr. Charles Andrews, of Danbury, and Mr. Joel Tay—
lor was called upon to address the meeting, which was
very lengthy but interesting, especially to the older
members, as it brought back to the minds the ”scenes
of other days.” In his remarks he said that the
voungcr stock did not inherit the spirit, energy, and
perseverance of the ancestors of the family, and at:
the close of his speech Mr. Charles Andrews arose to
correct the statement, and he showed conclusively
that this was an error on the part of Mr. Taylor. He
said, “ If there is a young man in the county desirious
to made his mark in the world, let_hiru secure for him-
self au Andrews girl, a d the first step on the “ladder
of fame" had been fiched and the rest was easy
enough; and the young lady who wanted to procure
a true, loving,§persevering husband, adescendant of
the Andrews family was just the one she wanted."
His remarks were readily seconded by many of both
sexes, who knew by experience, that this was trite.
We observed many of both sexes-unmarricd—casting
longing glances upon each other during the course of
his remarks, as much as to say.,“wc don’t mind trying
the experiment.”

At about 4 o’clock the meeting broke up, and all
voted that this gathering was a decided success, and
if their lives were spared, they wouldbc present at the
fourth gathering in 1669. W.

A short time since a new and very large oyster bed

make preparations for an onset on the new seed oys-
ter fields as soon as the clock should strike twelve.

flesh wound below the knee on the limb struck by the
engine. Ris escape from death was most remarkable.

On Sunday, as a lady was leaving Trinity Church, in

——The reunion of the oflicers of the Army
of the James at Boston, on Wednesday eve-
ning last, was evidently a rare occasion of
enthusiasm and good feeling. Nearly two
hundred officers, including more than thirty
generals, were present, and these represent-
ed almost every portion of the country for
which they fought. One had traveled two
thousand two hundred miles expressly to
attend this meeting, coming from his station
in the new territory of Wyoming, five hurr-
drcd miles west of the Missouri river.

MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS—The Pianoforte
has long been the popular home and con-
cert instrument, yet in point of swelling and
sustaining the tones it is extremely defective.
On account of this deficiency, music written
,in chords, or in a connected style, cannot be
satisfactorily executed, as the long notes re-
sult in diminucndos where they should be
sustained. The taste for the Organ and or-
chestral style of music is being rapidly devel-
oped, and widely diffused—and the time is
approaching, when the demand for this sus-
tained style of music will supersede the pres-
ent Piano compositions. There are no in-
struments capable of such fine expression in
this style of music as the AMERICAN ORGANS,
manufactured by Messrs. S. D. & H. W.
Smith, of Boston. There delicacy and va-
riety in the voicing renders thorn susceptible
of beautiful orhestral effects, by the skillful
use of the tremolo and the improved knee
swell, while the deep manual sub-bass which
is added to the new styles, gives the closest
resemblance to the pipe organ—Boston

A Permanent Tome,

Every one at times feels the necessity of something
to tone up the system depressed by mental'or bodily
exhaustion. At such times let every one, instead of
talx‘n g alcoholic or medicinal stimulants, reinvigorate
his debilitated system by the natural tonic elements
of the -

Peruvlan Syrup.

or Protected Solution of the Protoxide of Iron, which
vitalizcs and enriches the blood by supplying it with
its Life Element, Iron.

Being free from Alcohol in any form, its energizing
effects are not followedgby corresponding reaction, but
are permanent, infusing strength, vigor and new life
into all parts of the system, and building up an Iron
constitution. 1

WM. C. STERLING Esq.,of Poughkeepsie,N.Y. says:

“Since taking the Peruvian Syrup I feel better, my
strength is improved, my bowels are regular, my ap-
petite first rate. »

There is an old Physician in this city. (older than I
am) who has been in the Drug business for 40 years,
whohas used the Syrup f0; three months, and gives it.
as his dccrded opinion, that it is the best Alterative
Ionic Medicine he ever knew.” -

Patent Fruit Jar.

 

The Most Complete Jar Made

Its Superior Advantages.

Finer—Its completeness in its arrangements and
combinations as a pcrfcclfruit prescrvcr.

Sucrose—If; is provided with a divided Ring, which
is easily attached to or detached from the Neck of the
Jar, and secured by a Ball.

THIRD—When the band and boil are applied, its
combinations form -a complete bundle, thereby dis-
pensing with all lifters or other appliances, which
have hitherto been in use for removing the Jar from
boiling water.

.Foun-ru—It is constructed with a Glass Cover, which
sets over the neck of. the Jar, resting 'on an elastic
band on the outer surface of the shoulder, thus pre-
venting any flavor being imparted to the fruit by me-
tnlic or poisonous substances. This advantage alone

eudcrs its superiority such as to bring it into imme-

iatc and general use with the public.

Full directions for-cooking with each Jar.

For sale by the Case or Dozen.

' 75o MILES

OF THE

UNION PACIFIC

RAILROAD

Are now finished and in operation. Although this
road is built with great rapidity, the work is thor-
oughly done, and is pronounced by the United States
Commissioners to bc first-class in every respect, be-
forcit is accepted, and before any bonds can be issued
upon it.

Rupidlty and excellence of construction have been
secured by a complete division of lobor. and by dis-
tributing the twenty thousand men employed along
the line for long distances at once. It is now proba-
ble that the

Whole Line to the Pacific will is
completed in 1869.

The Company have ample means of which the Gov-
ernment grants the rightof way, and all necessary
timber and other materials found along the line of its
operations; also 12,800 acres of land to the mile, taken
in alternate sections on each side of the road; also
United States Thirty-year Bonds, amounting to from
310,000 to 848,000 per mile, according to the dlfllcul-
ties to be surmounted on the various sections to be
built, for which it takes 0. second mortgage as securi-
ty, and it is expected that. not only the interest, but
the principal amount may be paid in services render-
cd by the Company in transporting troops, mails, &c.

THE EARNINGS OF THE UNION PACIFIC
AILROAD, from its Way or LocalBusincss only du-
g the year ending June 30th, 1868, amounted to ov-

 

(‘1'

Four Million Dollars,

which after paying expenses was much more than
sufficient to pay the interest upon its Bonds. These
earnings are no indication of the vast through traffic
that must follow the opening of the line to the Pacif-
ic, but they certainly prove that

FIRST MORTGAGE BONDS

upon such property, costing nearly three times their
amount,

Are Entirely Secure.

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 princip is
payable in gold at maturity. The price is 102, d
at the present rate of gold, they pay 9. liberal income
on their cost. ‘

A very important consideration in determining the
value of these bonds is the length of lime they have to
run. ‘

It is well known that along bond always commands
a much higher price than a short one. It is safe to
assume that during the next: thirty years, the rate of
interest in the United States will decline as it: has
done in Europe, and we have a right to expect: that
such six per cent. securities as these will be held at as
high a premium as those of this Government, which
in 1857 were bought in at. from 20 to 23 per cent.ab0ve
par. The export demand alone may produce this re-
sult, and as the issue of a private» corporation, they
are beyond the reach of politicil action. "
The Company believe that their Bonds at the pres-
ent rate, are the cheapest security in the market, and
the right to advance the price at any time is reserved.
Subscriptions will be received in NORWALK by

The NATIONAL BANK otNORWALK,
and in New York ' '

At the Company’s Office, No. 20
Nassau Sh,

_ AND BY ‘ ,
John J. Clseo dc Son, Bankers, No. 59

.
And by the Company’s advertised agents throughout
the United States.

Remittances should be made in drafts or other funds
par in New York, and the Bonds will be sent free of
charge by return express. Paflfes subscribing through
local agents, will look to them for their safe delivery.

A PAMPELET AND MAP FOR 1868 has just been
published by the Company, giving fuller information
thun'is possible in an advertisement, respecting the
Progress of the Work, the Resources‘ of the country
traversed by the Road, the Means for Construction,
andthe Value of the Bonds, which will be sent free
on application to the Company’s Offices or to any of
the adyertised agents.
