The Funding of United States Five-Twenties into 
a first-class security, paying the same rate of interest (six 
per cent, gold), and which cannot be called in under 25 
years without the consent of the holder, may now he 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 5-20 s tvill bring $3,4S7 50— arm. intr. in gold.. .$300 
$6,000C.P.R.Gold Bonds.$5,400—anil. intr. in gold...$300 
Gain, $1,000 in Bds., in cash, $27 50—gain in ann.inc.$G0 
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 boing 
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 
seeurities, and recommend them without hesitation to 
our friends and customers desiring to make investments 
or to fund their five-twenties upon advantageous terms 
without reduction of interest. FISK & HATCH.

IIORSFORD’S SELF-RAISING BREAD 
PREPARATION 
Makes the most wholesome and best of bread, biscuit, 
cakes, &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 RICKETS, CHOLERA, 
and decay of TEETH, and promotes the growth of Muscle 
and Bone In "raising" the dough, it does not, like other 
yeast, decompose tire flour, but adds nutriment to the bread, 
and otherwise improves it in quality and quantity. Each 
package contains full directions for use. Send lor pam¬ 
phlet, supplied gratis. Ask vour Grocer for “ Horsford’s 
Bread Preparation.” WILSON, LOCKWOOD. EVERETT

THE CINCINNATI WEEKLY TIMES, 
One of the oldest Family Journals in the West, is about 
commencing its Twenty-eighth Volume. Itiscon- 
ceded by its Seventy Thousand Patrons to he one of the 
Handsomest, Cheapest and Best 
NEWSPAPERS IN THE UNION, 
Containing, as it does, a great variety of News and Selec¬ 
tions, as well ns earefullv-compilcd Miscellaneous, Agricul- 
tHral, Household and Political Departments. 
Our special endeavors are devoted to making it in all re¬ 
spects a paper suitable for the 
HOME CITJ.OX-.TS:. 
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 conniptions of politicians of both parties. 
2. It is opposed to all land monopolies and land grabs 
to railroad corporations. 
3. It is in every sense of the, term a "live 2 iaper." It 
does not fill its columns with long and prosy editorials. 
4. It talks to the point, and calls things by their right names. 
5. Its news from all quarters of the ivorld is caref ully 
condensed and no important intelligence ever omitted. 
6 . It is a paper for the Home Circle, with departments 
for the Farmer and the Mechanic; for the Young Folks an 7 d 
’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 Iland- 
Boolc, worth at least half the subscription price of the paper.

Patrons of the Cincinnati Weekly Times. 
We take more than ordinarj* pleasure in referring to the great 
improvement we have made in the ILLUSTRATE!} 
UNION HAND-BOOK, which, as lierotoforc, wo design 
as a Gift to every yearly subscriber of the Weekly Times. 
Wc are determined, as usual, that our Hand-Book shall be 
better, handsomer and more complete than 
anything of the kind ever before issued by our cotemporar¬ 
ies, either East or West. It will he embellished with more 
than FIFTY of the finest engravings, many of them having 
been engraved specially for it in the most artistic style,

Tife;

riosities of tlie Tcee and Forest Growth;

Tlie Great Chestnut 'Tree of lilt. iEtna ; 
'Tito JPlane Tree of Kujukdere, 
(said to be over 3,000 years old); 
The Dragon 'Tree of TTeneriHe. 
The Hand-Book will contain over 100 large octavo pages, 
and besides the Illustrations there will ho at least one hun¬ 
dred articles on different subjects, numerous ‘‘Statistical 
Tables,’' the Election Returns for 1S70, Important Events of 
the Y'ear, 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¬

interesting and valuable reading-matter, Scattered through 
its pages will INSTRUCT THE MIND.
