BEDDING.
A very unfortunate afiair occurred in Red-
ding on Tuesday last. A funeral procession
was descending a hill, when one gentleman
driving a single horse reined to one side of
the street in order to allow a two-horse
team to pass; in attempting to pass, the car-
riage wheels went into the gutter, partly
tipping the carriage and throwing out the
driver. The horses then took flight and
ran down hill, coming into collision with
several other carriages, smashing them and
injuring a number- of the occupants, sc-
veral of whom were seriously if not fatally
injured. '

We understand that the Board of Educa-
tion will institute very rigid examination of
teachers applying for schools during -the
coming season. Knowing two gentlemen
of the Board to be possessed of the requisite
qualifications for such work, and with pluck
enough to carry their designs into execution
we shall look with some interest to see who
suffers the first decapitation. '
A miserable specimen of humanity said to
us the other day, “no use in giving the ballot
to women, for none of them will admit they
are of proper age to vote, until they are too
old to take interest in politics.” This same
wretch volunteered the following advice to
young men about to “pop the question,"
“never go down on more than one knee du-
ring the operation, for if you use both knees
you may be unable to make goOd your es-
cape when an enraged male “parient” puts
in an appearance.”
In the recent deaths ,of Mrs. Alva Jones
and Mrs.Char1es E. Sherwood both of whom
were stricken down suddenly and without
warning, a picture of the great uncertainty
of human life is presented. But a few short
hours previous to the sad events, both were
in as perfect health as was their wont to
enjoy. ~
Dr. Woodruii‘ ’s lecture on “Marriage in
Shade and Sunshine” at the Congregational
Church on Thursday Evening last, is highly
spoken of by those who were present.
The Advertizer’s appeal to the people for
aid in making necessary repairs to the vil-
lage Fire Engine is worthy of consideration.

By far the most disastrous fire that has
occurred here in many years was that which
destroyed Fanton’s Shirt Factory last Satur-
day morning. The establishment gave em-
ployment to several hundred persons, most—

ployment just at a time when work had
commenced after a brief season of compar-
ative Inactivity. The fire was discovered
shortly after two o’clock, in the south-west
corner of the building. The firemen battled

the quantit of combustible material in all

Visited in time by the fire, but it was mostly
confined to the interior of the building,
which prevented it from spreading to ad-
joining buildings. The tenement houses to
the north, owned by Geo. Hull, were in im-

exertions of the firemen the damage was

Loss of the Golden City.
SAN FRANCIsco, March 2.—The particu-
lars of the loss of the steamship Golden
City are as follows: The Golden City left
this port on the 18th of February, for Pana-
ma, with 500 passengers for New York, and
a valuable cargo, including teas received by
a China steamer, and a heavy treasure list.
On the morning of the 22nd, about seven
o’clock, she went ashore near Point Lazaro,
Lower California, about fifteen miles dis-
tant from the bay of Santa Maria. The pass-
engers, baggage and treasure were landed
with little difficulty, the sea being smooth,
but the locality was barren and far from hu-
man inhabitants. A party was sent. imme-
diately to Point Lazaro to erect a signal and
keep a lookout for the steamship Colorado,
which was abotl: due from Panama, and
Was signalled about noon of the 24th. It
was impossible for the steamer to receive
the sufferers on board at the scene of the
disaster, owing to the heavy surf, and they
were compelled to walk to Santa Maria bay
over an utterly barren waste, enduring
great distress from hunger and thirst. Sev-
eral were lost in sand hills. and chapparel
bushes, and had to be abandoned by the
steamer. . Only a small quantity of provis-
ion and water was saved from the wreck,
and it was fortunate that the Colorado ar-
rived so soon. Otherwise intensc suffering
must have resulted. When the wreck com-
menced breaking up, and the cargo drifted
ashore, some casks containing liquor were
broken open by the passengers, and drunk-
enness and disorder ensued. Fearin blood-
shed would be the result a strong party of
passengers organized to destroy the liquor
as fast as it came ashore. .
The passengers had no confidence in Cap-
tain Comstock, and paid no attention to his
orders. They held an indignation meeting
on board the Colorado, and passed resolu-
tions to the effect that in their opinion the
wreck of the Golden city was due to the in-
capability or gross carelessness of the com-
manding officer, and that much unnecessary
suffering on the shore was to be traced to
the same source. The passengers, with‘but
a few exceptions, reached here last night.
The baggage and treasure was left on the
beach under a proper guard.
' '_+4.r+—————-
The United States steamer Oneida, left
Yokohama, Japan, in the afternoon of J an-
uary 23d, homeward bound, rind a few hours
after, collided with the British mail steam-
ship Bombay steering for the port just left
by the former ship. The Oneida was cut
through by the Bombay, and in a few min-
utes filled and went down, carrying with
her all the crew, numbering 176 souls, ex-
cept two oflicers and fifty-four men, fifty-
;ix in all, who were picked up and saved.
The captain, E. P. Williams, and principal
fliocers were lost. The Bombay, as the ac-
count says, passed on without stopping to
render assistance, although guns were fired
by the Oneida to attract her attention and
bring her back. A few of the crew manned
the life-boat, and after searching in vain for
some of their companions to rescue, made
for the shore, about five mile distant, where
they were kindly treated by the natives, and
such assistance as they were enabled to
render offered.

an extensive through trafic from the day of its com~

agricultural and mineral reseources of and

elements of a large and profitable local business.
Thus the great interests, both general and local,

Its superiority as an East and West route, and the
promise of an immense and profitable trade awaiting
its completion, have drawn to it the attention and

of eminent citizens and business men of Virginia and
West Virginia, Insuren an energetic, honor-

The Road is complete and in operation from Rich-

West Virginia, 227 miles, and there remain but 200
miles, (now partially constructed) to be complétedto
carry it: to the proposed terminus on the Ohio river
at, or near, the mouth of the Big Sandy river, 150
miles above Cincinnati, and 350 miles below Pltts-'
burg.
Lines are now prqlected or in progress through
Ohio and Kentucky to this point, which will connect
the CHESAPEAKER OHIO WITH THE ENHRE
RAILROAD SYSTEMS OF THE WEST AND
SOUTH-WEST, AND WITH THE PACIFIC RAIL-
ROAD.
Its valuable franchises and superiOI advantages will

The old lines were originally constructed in sec-
-i.lons, with the view of passing through the principal
cities, rather than to form a direct route between
New York and Boston, and hence the cireurlous
routes adopted 1;; them.
BUSINESS.— or 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 lar 6 established local trade
awaitin its completion. t will pass through the
towns 0 North Haven, Wallingford,Dnrhnm,Middle-
field, Middletowu, Portland, Chatham, Marlborough,
lIliebron, Columbia, Lebanon, Colchester, and Wind-
am.
It seems hardly necessary'to call attention to the
business of aroad of such vast importance, having
connections with so many roads that. are to become
feeders to it. At New Haven it will connect with
four lines ; at Middletown with one, and at Willimauh
tlc with three, while others are being projected.
In regard to the through trade, a single glance at
the map is more convincing than any argument can
be, as to the important fact that this route bein the
shortest, and affording so great a saving in t e,
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 ofiieers 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 engineeringskill in the country to direct the
work, and no pains or expense will be spared to bring
it to perfection. The grades are very cas , the curves
are large, the bridges of wrought iron, t e rails se-
lected with cars and of the best guilty, and all
adapted to durability and speed. he ading is
nearly finished between New Haven and M ddlctown,
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 Company to
use this portron of their line for business our y.in the
Spriu . The Eastern section is being rapid] graded
and a the force that can be employed to a vanta e
is at work. It is confidently ho ed that the who e
line will be finished and in operat on during the Fail
or early Winter. ' .
AS AN INVESTMENT.
THEBONDS are Coupon and. Re istered, and are
issued in denominations of 9500 an 81,000. They
have 20 years to run, and are payable, principal and
interest, in New York. By an act of the Legislature
of the State of Connecticut, they are made cxcm t
from all STATE AND LOCAL TAXATION, and y
the Company from the UNITED STATES INCOME
TAX. - The utmost care is used to protect the holders
of these Bonds by the terms of the Mortga , which
the payment of Interest for six months, the Printa-
HI] shall at the option of the holder. BECOME DUE
MEDIATELY. -
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 guarantee of the good
faith of the Company, and a pledge that the inves-
tors’ interests wl 1 never suffer from any want of sta-
bility in the holder of their Mortgage. '
A HOME INVESTMENT.
It is unnecessary to remind 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 rejects in remote parts of the country,
w ich invite oans at enormous rates of interest. The
Managers of this Company are well known Connec-
ticut men, and the road itself is a most important
work of internal development, in which every citizen
TAXES.
The exem tion of the First MOI tgage Bonds from
all taxes w 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 exam tion
from United States Income Taxlplaces them a ove
any other investment in the market, and must com-
mend them to all persons seeking plrofitable invest-
ments. It will be borne in min t at the.State and
Local Taxes in Connecticut ran e from 1}; to 2%,
averaging about ll er cent. As t is tax is saved to
holders of the Air ne Bonds, it is equivalent to the
payment of that amount as EXTRA INTEREST,
and makes, with the saving of the Income Tax 893.

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 obtained
as low as 80 to yield the same amount of net income
as these Bonds at bar: while with gold AT PAR the
Six Per Cent. Gpld 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
NEBONDS worth 114% on the same basi as at
that prtice they pay the same interest—name y, 53.;
pcrcen . .
The desire to ca italize the premium which may
now be realized on iveoTwenty 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 awakening an inquiry for forms ofdnvestment
which shalLbo SAFE and which shall yield a liberal
rate of interest in CURRENCY.
To meet this demand, we offer the First Mortgage
Bonds of the New Haven, Middletowu andWilliman-
tic Railroad Coin any, believing them to be in all re-
spects worthy o 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-

SIX MILLIONS OF DOLLARS PAID UP STOCK
SUBSCRIPTIONS. No bonds issued on road under
construction; issue limited to $20,000 per mile of
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
whole line (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 the best paying
roads leading from the met'ropolis, and its First
Mortgage Bonds one of the safest securities ever is-
sued. All mortgage bonds issued on Railroads run-
.ning from the City of New York are good, and the
mere st promptly paid, although some of them are
mortgaged for more than double the amount per
mile than the Midland is. 'Amongtlic bonds now of-
fering we know of none equal to these. For thc'in-
vestm'eut of trust or other funds there is nothing bet-
ter; and in exchange the‘ Government Bonds they
give a large increase of inconse, beside capitaliziu g
the premium. They are meeting with rapid Sale,
anp we have been gratified to find that they are taken
chiefly by our most Conservative and ssgaclous capi-
talists in exchange for Government securities. Price
