The Funding of United States Five-Twenties into 
a first-class security, paying- the same rate of interest (sis 
per cent, gold), and which cannot be called in under 25 
years without the consent of the holder, may now be ef- 
fected at a clear profit of about twenty per cent, by ex- 
changing them for the First Mortgage Bonds of the 
Central Pacific Railroad Co. 
The advantage of the exchange is shown thus : 
$5,000 5-205 will bring $5,4S7 50— ann. intr. in gold...$30Q 
$G,000 C.P.R.Gold Bonds.$5,460— ann. intr. in gold. . . $3G0 
Gain, §1,000 in Bds., in cash, §2" 50— gain in ann. inc. $60 
The Central Pacific Bonds have the advantage of a 
ready market on both sides of the Atlantic, of regular 
quotations at the Stock Exchange, and are based on a 
finished and equipped road, already placed on a stable 
and profitable basis. 
Having originally negotiated these bonds, and being 
thoroughly acquainted with their soundness and value, 
we have introduced them as a specialty in our regular 
business in connection with our dealings in government 
securities, and recommend them without hesitation to 
onr friends and customers desiring to make investments 
or to fund their five-twenties upon advantageous terms 
without reduction of interest. FISK & HATCH.

The Universal Wringer has been in use in our family 
for years, giving entire satisfaction. We speak whereof 
we know when we say it is one of the best labor-saving 
machines ever invented, having several points of supe-

IIORSFORD'S SELF-RAISING BREAD 
PREPARATION 
Makes the most wholesome and best of bread, biscuit, 
oakes, &e. Unlike some other yeast, it contains no POISON 
to create DYSPEPSIA, and the bread may therefore be 
eaten hot without detriment. Resolving itself into Phos- 
phate of Lime and soda, it prevents 1UCKETS, CHOLERA, 
:ind decay of TEETH, and promotes the growth of Muscle 
and Bone. In "raining" the dough, it docs not, like other 
yeast, decompose the flour, but adds nutriment to the bread, 
and otherwise improves it in quality and quantity. Each 
package contains full directions for use. Send for pam- 
hlet, supplied gratis. Ask vour Grocer for " Horsford'S 
tread Preparation. 1 ' WILSON, LOCKWOOD, EVERETT

THE CEYCIXXATI WEEKLY TIMES, 
One of the oldest Family Journals in the West, is about 
commencing- its Twenty-eighth Volume. It iscon- 
ceded by its Seventy Thousand Patrons to be one of the 
Handsomest, Cheapest and Best 
NEWSPAPERS IN THE UNION", 
Containing-, as it does, a great variety of News nnd Selec- 
tions, as well as carefully-compiled Miscellaneous, Agricul- 
tural, Household and Political Departments. 
Our special endeavors are devoted to making it in all re- 
spects a paper suitable for the 
HOME CIUCLE. 
A few reasons why everybody in want of a first-rate Fam- 
ily Journal should subscribe for the Weekly Times: 
1. It is a paper that will suit every one, except red-hot 
partisans. Although Republican, it is not bitterly radical, 
but treats political questions fairly, and is down on the 
rascalities and corruptions of ■politicians of both parties. 
3. It is opposed to all land ihonopoUes and land grabs 
to rail-road corporations. 
3. It is in every sense of the term a "live paper." It 
does not till its columns with long and prosy tditorials. 
4. It talks to the point and calls things by their right names. 
5. Its news from all quarters of tlie world is carefully 
condensed and no important intelligence ever omitted. 
G. It is a paper for the Home Circle, with departments 
for the Farmer and the Mechanic ; for the Young Folks and 
the Old Folks ; something for the Mirthful and the Thought- 
ful^ and, in fact, something suited to the tastes of everybody. 
7. Last and best of all—we present to every subscriber a 
valuable Premium, entitled the Illustrated Union Hand- 
Book, worth at least half the subscription 2>rice of the paper. 
THE ANNUAL G-XFT 
TO THE 
Patrons of the fincinuati Weekly Times. 
Wc take more than ordinary pleasure in referring to the great 
improvement we have made in the ILLUSTRATED 
UNION HAND-BOOK, which, as heretofore, we design 
as a Gift to every yearly subscriber of the Weekly Times. 
Wc arc determined, as usual, that our Haxd-Book shall bo 
bet trv. Handsomer and more complete than 
anything of the kind ever before issued by our cotemporar- 
ies, either East or West. It will be embellished with more 
than FIFTY of the finest engravings, many of them having 
been engraved specially for it in the most artistic style, 
illustrating the 
River, Lake and Mountain Scenery of tlio 
West; 
The Wonders of tlie Yowomltc Valley; 
Domestic Subjects, Illustrative, of Homo 
Life; 
Giving some of Hie most romantic and beautiful scenery In 
the world. Also, several pictures showing tlie greatest cu* 
rloBltlca of the Tcco and Forest Growth ; 
Tlie Biff Tree of Pcuasig; 
The Cottars of Lebanon ; 
k'hc Great Chestnut Tree of Mt, iEtna ; 
The Plane Tree of ESu jukderc, 
(said to be over 3,000 years old) ; 
The Dragon Tree of Toncrifle. 
The Hand-Hook will contain over 100 large octavo pases, 
and besides the Illustrations there will be at least one hun- 
dred articles on different subjects, numerous ** Statistical 
Tables," the Election Ueturns for 1ST0, Important Events of 
the Year, Tables of the Census, the 'War in Europe, and all 
matters of interest pertaining thereto. 
It Is needless to reiterate what we have said before, that 
it will be a magnificent work. The numerous fine engrav- 
ings In it will not only PLEASE THE EYE. but Iho 
interesting and valuable reading-matter, scattered through 
Its pages will INSTRUCT THE MIND.
