Funding Five-Twenty Bonds.— Within the pastYbree 
months a very large amount of Five-Twenty Bonds have 
been funded through our office into the First Mohtuage 
Bonds of the Cestkai. Pacific Railroad Company, be- 
sides large sales of the same securities for new invest- 
ments. 
We deal in Central Pacific Bonds the same as in Gov- 
ernment Securities, and regard them as affording the de- 
sired medium for funding Five-Twenty Bonds, without 
redaction of interest and with unimpaired security. 
£sT" T/uy are well known, and hare a ready market in 
all (he money centers of this country and Europe, are daily 
quoted at the Stock Exchanr/e, and can be sold at current 
market price as readily as the Bonds of the Government.

Earnings from Jan. 1 to Dec. 1, 1S09 5.*2tiO,SS-2 
Increase in 1870 $2,15(3,435 
We keep a supply of these securities on hand, and fur- 
nish them at current market price. 
The advantage of exchanging Governments into these 
Bonds is about as follows : 
Proceeds of $1,000 5-20 bond of 1867, at 110 $1,100.00 
Cost of §1,000 Central Pacific bond, at 02 020.00 
Difference realized $180.00 
We continue, as heretofore, to buy and sell Govern- 
ment Bonds, make Collections, receive Deposits, subject 
to check at sight without notice, and allow interest on 
balances, and do a general Banking business.

old lassie took hold of the wash and put it through, much 
to our admiration and astonishment, so simple is its ar- 
rangement and successful its execution. — Rev. Joseph ST.

PERIODICALS 
For li^' 
The great design of Harper's is to «lve correct information 
and rational amusement to the great masses of the people. 
There is no monthly Magazine an intelligent reading family 
can le?s afford to be without. Many Magazines are accumu- 
lated. Harper'* is edited. There is not a Magazine that is 
printed which shows more intelligent pains expended on its 
articles and mechanical execution. There is not a cheaper 
Magazine published. There is not, confessed I v, a more 
popular Magazine in the world.— Aeio England Homestead. 
At once the most popular and, in its scheme, the must 
original of our Magazines. * ■ *A11 the periodicals which the 
Harpers publish are almost ideally well edited.— Xation. 
The best publication of its class in America, and so far 
ahead of all other weekly journals as not to permit of any 
comparison between it and anv of their number. Its columns 
contain the finest collections of reading-matter that are 
printed. * * * Its illustrations are numerous and beautiful, 
being furnished by the chief artists of the country.— Boston 
Traveler. 
Harper's Weekly is the best and most interesting illustra- 
ted newspaper. Nor does its value depend on its illustrations 
alone. Its reading 1 matter is of a high order of literary 
merit— varied, instructive, entertaining, and unexceptiona- 
ble.— JIT. Y. Hun. 
Free from all political and sectarian discussion, devoted 
to fashion, pleasure and Instruction, it is" just the agreeable. 
companionable and interesting domestic paper, which 
every mother, and wife, and sweetheart will require every 
son, husband and lover to bring home with him every Satur- 
day evening. — Philadelp Ida Ledger. 
By all means buy Harper's Bazar. Not for yourself, but 
for your wife, or daughter, or sister, or sweetheart. There 
never was any paper 'published that so delighted the heart 
of woman. Nevermind if it does cost you a new bonnet; 
it wt!l save you ten times the price In the household ;econo- 
my it teaches.— Providence Journal.
