THE 
FIRST MORTGAGE BONDS 
OF THE 
Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad Co., 
originally offered by us last Winter, were so rapidly taken 
that, prior to the 1st of June last, a sufficient amount had 
been sold (upward of $5,000,000) to supply the Company 
with all the money that would be required until March 
or April of the present year. 
The Chesapeake and Ohio Railuoad, A New Trunk 
Line from the Sea-Board (o (he West, is already completed 
and in operation from Richmond to the celebrated White 
Sulphur Springs, 227 miles. 
During the past year, the work on the extension to the 
Ohio River has been prosecuted with great vigor ; over 
4,000 men having bceu employed during a great portion 
of the time. 
The completed portion of the Road is doing a good local 
business^ and its advantages as a great East and West 
through line for the transportation of the heavy.freights 
(which constitute the principal part of the East and West 
through traffic) are numerous and important. 
1, A short route. 9. Low grades. 3. Light curves. 4. 
Genial climate. .5. East and West termini at favorable 
points on tide-ivater and the Ohio Mver. 0. A very targe 
through and local traffic awaiting its progress. 
All these conditions favor a cheap and economical 
working of the line, and will enable the Chesapeake and 
Ohio route to do a profitable East and West through busi- 
ness at rates which would not pay by the more difficult 
and costly lines, aud to control an enormous Southwestern 
through trade, 
Tfie most apparent and pressing want of the grain, pork, 
and wool-producing regions of the West, at the present time, 
is more economical transportation to the sea-board. 
The waters of the Ohio River, which flow by the 
western terminus of the CHESAPEAKE AND OHIO 
RAILROAD, connect with more than 13,000 Miles of Re- 
liable Hiver Navigation, and 8,000 miles additional 
which are available for portions of the year, aud with 
over 20,000 miles of railroad. 
These rivers and railroads wash the shores and traverse 
the territory of sixteen magnificent, populous, and growing 
States, containing 1,000,000 square miles ; unite more 
than 200 towns and cities, of which at least twenty-five 
contain each a population of 20,000 and upward, aud min- 
ister to the wants of 10,000,000 of people. 
To all this vast area, with its magnificent internal sys- 
tems of water and railroad transportation, its teeming 
population, its wealth of production, and its enormous 
commerce, the CHESAPEAKE AND OHIO RAILROAD 
opens an accessible, short, easy, and economical outlet to the 
Atlantic coast, upon whose shores the great West and 
Southwest must find the chief market for their products, 
and whence they must mainly draw their supplies of 
manufactured and foreign goods. 
Among the Officers and Directors are some of our best 
known and prominent business men— Mr. C. P. Hunting- 
ton, whose financial management of the great Central 
Pacific Railroad has been so successful, is President of 
the Company, with Messrs. W. H. Aspinwall, A. A. Low, 
Jonas G. Clark, Richard Irvin, and others, well-known 
merchants of New York, as Directors. 
We are now authorized to sell an additioral amount of 
FIRST MORTGAGE 6 PER CENT GOLD BONDS of the 
Company, at the original price of 90 and accrued interest. 
The bonds are secured by a mortgage upon the entire 
road, franchises, aud property of the Company, which 
NOW, IN COMPLETED ROAD AND WORK DONE, EXCEEDS 
THE ENTIRE AMOUNT OF THE MORTGAGE, and which, 
when completed, will be worth at least $-30,000,000. 
A SINKING FUND of $100,000 per annum is provided 
for their redemption. They are issued as Coupon or 
Registered Bonds, and in denominations of $100, $500, 
and $1,000. Interest payable May and November, in the 
City of New York. 
The superior advantages, valuable property and fran- 
chises, and 'able and honorable management of the 
CHESAPEAKE AND OHIO RAILROAD COMPANY, 
render it one of the most substantial, reliable and trust- 
worthy Corporations in the country, and commend its 
Securities to the unhesitating confidence of capitalists 
and investors.

Safety Lamps. — The alarming frequency of dis- 
astrous fires aud shocking deaths from the breaking

ing. Light equal to gas, aud no odor. Eminent
