‘ ROWAY'I‘ON. .
Mr. Vincent Colyer has consented to lec-
ture before the people of Rowayton upon
the subject of“Alaska, and the Great West.”
As Secretary of the U. S. Indian Commis-
sion he has traveled through the West and
South West, to the Pacific Slope and to
Alaska for the purpose of gathering infor-
mation for the Government of the condition
of the Indians, their wants, etc., and this lec-
ture will give a_ descriptive accopnt of his
travels which cannot fail to be deeply inter-
esting and instructive. Mr. Colyer loves
the pl ace he calls his home, and takes every
opportunity to benefit and please the peo-
ple. A man of true christian principle, he is
well-known in this country and in Europe
as a philanthropist who has spent his time
and fortune in upholding the downtrodden
of every race and color. As a prominent
member of the Christian Commission his
services were specially valuable to the Gov-
ernment duringIhe into war. Timely no-
tice will be given of the lecture. Q.

exciting for these dull limos.

Often, when in some of our large churches . 3"
and public halls, we have trembled at the
apprehensions which have crossed our
mind of the terrible results which must sure-
ly follow, if the alarm of fire were given
when, they were filled with people. Re-
cently we read of a large number of per-
sons seriously injured _in a 'Western city,
while trying to get Ollt of a theatre during
a panic, created, not by fire, but by a ter-
rific storm then sweeping over the country.
We frequently hear of injury to life and
limb, and indeed of death, by burning, by
reason of the imperfect facilities for egress
from buildings in case of danger. We sin-
cerely hope that those having the matter in
charge, will see that—the approaches to the
new Hall over the First National, Bank,
shall be so constructed that no; calamity
similar to those referred to may ever o‘ccur
for want of forethought in that regard.
It is said that strenuous efforts are now
being made to secure subscriptions to the
projected Sangatuck Valley R. R. Only a
few thousands more are needed to make up
the requisite $100,000. It is a matter of in-
terest to property holders in Westport to
assure the success of this Rodd at once.
Now is the time to do it, now or never;
The present opportunity lost, the scheme
must fall to the ground. Let self-interest,
if nothing more, impel us forward in the
work.
The question is being seriously asked,
“ where must our ice for next summer‘s use
come from 1‘” It may be answered, not
from old Connecticut if this warm weather
continues. Some souls, at case on the sub-
ject have said,,import it from Canada or
Nova Scotia by rail or steam. As ice is
now so expensive on article of merchandise
it would be worse than folly to look in those
directions. Our only hope lies in a term of
extreme cold and freezing weather, and that
verylsoon. Without this, “ do without it”
will be the stern decree.
Last week in speaking of the articles pre-
sen ted to the Rev. J. R. Williams, we omitted
to mention a beautiful non— explosive lamp,

Joseph T. Dnryea, D. D,, of New York
will deliver the firs. of a course of four lec-
tures, in the Congregational Church, West- -
port, on Friday eve, Feb. 4th. Subject,
“ The unselfish man—the growing man.”
Westport was never more lively than
during the present winter. Scarcely a
Giving;
' Recently at a missionary meeting of. the
negroes of one of the richest negro churches
of an American city, the following resolu-
tions were passed unanimously :—
1. Resolved—That we will give some-
thing.
2. Resolved—that we will give according
to our ability.
3. Resolved—That we will give willingly;
After the resolutions were read and ap-
proved and passed, a leading negro took his j
seat at the table, with pen and ink, and put ’
down what each came to contribute. Many
advanced to the table and handed in their
contributions, some more and some less.
Among the contributors was an old negro
who was very rich—almost as rich as all
the rest united. He threw down a small
hill. “Take dat back again,” said the chair~
man of the meeting. “Dat may be ’cordin’
to do fust resolution, but not ’cordin’ to de
second." The? rich old man accordingly
took it up, and hobbled back to his seat
much enraged. One after another came for-
ward, and all giving more than himself
he was ashamed, and again threw a larger
bill on the table, saying, “Dar, take dat.”
It was a twenty-dollar greenback,but it was
given with so much ill temper that the
chairman answered “No, sah ; dat won’t do!
Dat may be ‘cordin’ to (16 fast and second
resolutions, butnot ’cordin’ to de third.”—
He was obliged to take it up again. Still
angry with himself, the rich old negro sat a
long time, until nearly all were- gone, and
then advanced to the table,and, with a smile
on his countenance, laid a large sum of
money on the table. “Dar, dat berry well,"
said the presiding negro, “dat will do; dat
am ’cordin’ to all do resolutions.”

THE ROAD.—THE NEW HAVEN, MIDDLETOWN
AND WILLIMANTIC RAILROAD of Conne'tliicut
- is the FINAL LINK in the
GRAN ID AIR LINE ROUTE
BETWEEN BOSTON AND NEW YORK.
The line will be 52 miles in length, running be-
tween New Hayen and Willimantlc, assing throu h
Middletown, about midwa , and wi 1 connect w th
the New York and New aven Roadat its western
terminus, and with the Boston, Hartford and Eric
Road at its eastern terminus —thus forming the
SHORTEST AND MOST DIRECT ROUTE BE-
TWEEN THE TWO CHIEF
Commercial and Financial Cities of
America. ‘
In the minds of Railroad men, this route is the
natural line between the two Metropolitan Cities,bc-
ing as nears. straight line as the formation of the
country will admit; is over 20 miles shorter than the
present most popular route, and over 15 miles shorter
than any other possible route.
The two lines of railroad between New Haven and
Boston, via Springfield on the one side, and via Shore
Line, throu h New London, on the other are lines .
traversing t e outer edges of a square which the New
Havgl, Middletow n and Willimantic Railroad will
cut a anally. The position of‘eaeh. road is shown
in the piloting dlagram: -
e _ ._.l
LHTh'e'oldWlihes were originally constructed in sec-
tions, with the view of-passing through the principal
cities, rather than to form adirect route between
New York and Boston, and hence the circurlous
routes ado ted by them.
N SS.—For more than a quarter ofa century
a road through this section of the State has been
needed, and unlike most new railroad enterprises.
which have to wait the growth of business along its
line, this road will find a int c established local trade
awaitin its completion. t will pass through the
towns 0 'North Haven, Wallingford, Durham, ddle-
field, Middletown, Portland, Chatham, Marlborough,
II‘Iebron, Columbia, Lebanon, Colchester, and Wind-
am.
It seems hardly necessary to call attention to the
business of a road of such vast importance, having
connections with so many roads that are to become
feeders to it. At New Haven it will connect with
ur lines ; at Middletown with one, and at Williman-
' ic with three, while others are being projected.
In regard to tile through trade, a single glance at
the map is more convincing than any argument can
be, as to the important fact that this route being the
shortest, and affording so great a saving in time,
must ultimately be the chic thoroughfare between
Boston and New York.
CHARACTER AND PROGRESS OF THE WORK.
The Road is built under the immediate supervision
of the officers of the Company. who are most deeply
interested in its success, and who design it to be the
most thorough, substantial, and the safest road in
the United States. They have. called to their aid the
highest cngineeringsklll 1n the country to direct the
work, and no pains or expense will be spared to bring
it to perfectiom The grades are very ens , the curves
are large, the bridges of wrought iron.t e rails se-
lected with care and of the best quality. and all
adapted to durability and speed. The grading is
nearly finished between New Haven and Middletown,
the bridges are completed and being placed in posi-
tion, the rails are bein laid at the rate of HALF A
MILE PER DAY, whic will enable the Com any to
use this portron of their line for business ear y in the
Spain . The Eastern section is being rapidl graded
and a 1 the force that can be emplo ed to a vanta e
is at work. It is confidently be e that the who e
line will be finished and in opcrat on during the Full
or early Winter.
As AN INVESTMENT.
THE BONDS are Coupon and Re istered, and are
issued in denominations of 8500 on 31,000. They
have 20 years to run, and are payable, principal and
interest, in New York. By an act of the Legtslatnre
of the State of Connecticut, they are made exempt
from all STATE AND LOCAL TAXATION, and y
the Company from thc UNITED STATES INCOME
TAX. The utmost care is used to protect the holders
of these Bonds by the terms of the Mortga e, which
provides that if Company, at any time, efanlts in
the payment of Interest for six months, the Princi-
pal shall, at the option of the holder. BECOME DUE
MMEDIATELY. '
The Mortgage is made to the Treasurer of the State
of Connecticut, and his successors in office. in trust
for the Bondholders, which is a arantee of the good
faith of the Com any, and a p edge that the inves-
otors’ interests wl lnever sufi‘er from any want of sta-
bility in the holder of their Mortgage.
‘ A HOME INVESTMENT.
It is unnecessary to rzmind the public that a HOME
ENTERPRISE, carried on in 'their own State, where
all the facts in regard to it are fully known, is more
worthy of attention than schemes for railroad build-
ing or other ‘projects in remote phrts of the country,
w ich invite one at enormous rates of interest. The‘

TAXES.
The exem tion of the First Mortgage Bonds from
all taxes wh ch may be laid within the State is a fea-
ture which causes them to rank with the issues of
the United States, while the additional exemption
from United States Income Tax places them above
any other investment in the market, and must com-
mend them to all persons seeking grofitable invest-
ments.. It. will be home in min t at the State and
Local Taxes in Connecticut ran e from 1% to 2%:
averaging about 2 ‘per cent; As i is tax is saved to
holders of the Air ine Bonds, it is equivalent to the
payment of that amount as EXTRA INTEREST,
and makes, with the saving of the Income Tax, 998.
50 on each 81,000 per annum or nearly”; PER
CENT. lNTEREST ON THE INVESTMENT. his
'lar e return does not depend on the premi on
Go . which is liable to decline, and may even fall to
psr;wltbont affecting the income from these securities.
INCOME, AS COMPARED. WITH OTHER 'IN-
VESTMENTS.
A Six Per Cent. Gold Bond, subject to taxation
with the premium on gold at 120, must be obtaine
as low as 80 to yield the same amount of net income
as these Bonds at par: while with gold AT PAR the
Six Per Cent. Gold Bond would be worth only about
70 compared with these Bonds at par. .
The Connecticut State Bonds, which were made
exempt from taxation by an act of the Legislature,
are selling in the market at 103, and at that price
eld an income of 5%; which would make the AIR
NE BONDS worth 114% on the same basis as at
that price they pay the same interest—namely, 5%
per cent. , _ . ,,
The desire to ca itahzo the premium which may
now be realized on lye-Twenty Bonds, and which
may at any time be extinguished by being funded at
a reduced rate of interest, and the material decline in
gold is awakenin an inquiry for forms ofinvestment
which shalkbe S E and which shall yield a liberal
rate of interest in CURRENCY. .
To meet‘ this demand, we offer the First Mortgage
Bonds of the N ew Haven, Middletown andWilliman-
tic Railroad Company, believing them to be in all re-
spects worthy of the confidence of investors, and
we do so after thorough examination, as we are un-
willing to ofi'er any security which we do not consid-
er as safe and desirable as the issues of the United
States Government. .
The Bonds can be obtained of any Bank or Banker
in the State of Conencticnt, or by sending direct to
ourselves.

road built and in running order, BEING ONLL
ABOUT HALF THE ACTUAL CASH COST. The
road is being built with great economy for cash; 150
miles are now completed in the most thorough man—
ner, equipped and running regular trains; and the
wholelinc (over 400 miles) it is expected will be com-
pleted within the ensuing year. It is one of the
most important roads in the State of New York. It
shortens the route from New York City to Buffalo 70
miles, and to Oswego 45 miles; it traverses a popu
lous district destitute of other railroad facilities,
which must furnish it a large and profitable local
business, and it will be completed at an aggregate
cost far below that of any competing line. These ad-
vantages cannot fail to make it one of thebest paying
roads leading from the metropolis, and its First
Mortgage Bonds one of the safest securities ever is-
snc'd. All mortgage bonds issued on Railroads run-
ning from the City of New York are good, and the
, «vacuum prnmptly paid, although some of them are
mortgaged for more than double the amount per
ulile than the Midland is. Among the bonds now of-
fering wc'know of none equal to these. For the in-
vestment of trust or other funds there is nothing bet-
ter; and in- exchange the Government Bonds they
give a large increase of incense, beside capitalizing
the premium. They are meeting with rapid sale,
any we have been gratified to find that they are taken
chiefly by our most conservative and sagacions capi-
talists in exchange for Government securities. Price
