PROGRESS OF THE 
NORTHERN PACIFIC R.R. 
The Northern Pacific Rond is now finished 255 
miles—from Duluth, on Lake Superior, to Fargo, 
at the crossing of the Red River of the North, on 
the eastern border of Dakota. Regular trains are 
running over the completed section. The work is 
rapidly progressing westward through Dakota. 
The track is contracted to be finished in early 
autumn (1872) to the Missouri River, at the cross¬ 
ing of which the Road will connect with the lines 
of steamers running 700 miles further West to Fort 
Benton, and will thus at once command the large 
carrying trade of Montana, and the traffic of the 
Upper Missouri country. 
In the mean time, work has been steadily pro¬ 
gressing on the Pacific Coast. A section of twenty- 
five miles was finished in December last, and is 
now in operation, while forty miles more are under 
construction—connecting the Columbia River (at 
Kalama) with the terminal point on Puget Sound. 
During the past year careful surveys have been 
made of nearly the entire distance across the con¬ 
tinent, which fully verify previous estimates of the 
exceedingly favorable character of the route and 
country. The work of construction will continue 
to be pushed both Eastward and Westward with 
such rapidity as the interests of the road may war¬ 
rant. Including the purchased lines of the St. Paul 
and Pacific Railroad, the Northern Pacific Company 
now lias under its management five hundred and 
seventy-five miles of finished track. Contracts are 
let, and the means provided for the construction of 
.several hundred miles more during 1872 in Minne¬ 
sota, Dakota, and Washington Territory. 
The redemption of 5-20s by the Treasury iridi- 
dicates low rates of interest to the public-creditors 
hereafter, and we strongly recommend t.o the hold¬ 
ers thereof an immediate exchange for the 7-30 
Gold Bonds of the Noutiiekn Pacific Railroad, 
which we offer at par in currency. 
All marketable securities received in exchange.

BOYNTON’S LIGHTNING SAWS.

“THE GREATER INCLUDES THE LESS." 
Note.extra steel and durability as contrasted with old V 
outlined on M tooth. After wearing teeth out, they may be 
recut, or sold to some admirer of the old V friction process, 
used by all other Saws. 
NOT ONE FAILED IN 20,000, 
Two men cut a 12-incli log, by band, with this saw, in 
EIGHT SECONDS, on Sept. 1, 1869, at Philadelphia, in the 
presence of Major-Gen. Meade and numerous other distin¬ 
guished men. 
These are the only Saws in operation that are equivalent 
to the front Cutting and Clearing of a Hand-Saw BOTH 
ways—viz., going and coming. The slant edges between the 
points do not cut, the vertical face of each M cutting, and 
the slant following, and vice versa, as drawn back and forth. 
All Teeth are Cutters. All Teeth are Clearers. As it costs 
five hundred or more dollars for the labor that wears out 
any saw, a saving of one fifth by speed and ease of an im¬ 
proved saw saves the cost of a dozen. The length, strength, 
stiffness, and durability of these teeth are obvious. Note 
also speed, ease, simplicity, and clearance. 
SPEED.—If two points are dressed to cut in line, vertical 
or advancing cuts are more effective than retreating edges 
of old V-cutters used bn all other saws. 
EASE.—It is easier to plow a groove in timber than to 
crush one out. 
SIMPLICITY.—All points are the same length, and cut 
their way. We do not now recommend thick, raking, and 
hook teeth, as they require so much shortening and read¬ 
justment. 
CLEARANCE.—Cutting by projecting faces, these M teetli 
clear like a plow, simultaneously. 
These Saws are universally conceded to surpass In speed, 
in ease, and in simplicity. If any one questions it. let him 
accept my $500 challenge (toward expenses of a public con¬ 
test), and have the matter settled. New enlarged dust¬ 
spaced Saws for sale by the 1 Hardware Trade of America. 
Agents wanted where the Hardware Trade do not sell the 
genuine saw. Infringers prosecuted. A 6-ft. Cross-Cut and

shortened, are electric only in tlieir shocks to tile operator. 
Two men cut twenty-six cords of hard wood in 8 hours 
with the Lightning Cross-Cut Saw, by hand, and will do it

A BOOR FOR THE MILLION, 
THE 
YOTJNG- 
HOUSEKEEPER’S 
FRIEND. 
By MRS. CORNELIUS. 
REVISED AND ENLARGED. 
The aim of the writer of this work lias been to furnish to 
young housekeepers the best aid that a hook can give in the 
departments of which it treats. No printed guide can per¬ 
fectly supply the place of that experience which is gained 
by early and habitual attention to domestic concerns. But 
the directions here given are so minute and practical, that 
the observance of them will prevent very many of the per¬ 
plexities which most young people suffer during their first 
years of married life. 
Tlie recipes, with very few exceptions, are furnished from 
the author’s own experience, or that of her immediate 
friends. An ample variety is given for furnishing the table 
of any American family ; but especial reference has been 
had to those who have neither poverty nor riches; and such 
directions have been given as will enable a housekeeper to 
provide a good and healthful table, or, if desired, a hand¬ 
some one, at a moderate expense. 
How well the author lias succeeded is manifest from the 
very great favor with which past editions, through a period 
of twenty-five years, have been received. And now, in tills 
new edition, she lias rendered the hook more than ever 
worthy of patronage, by a thorough revision, the omission 
of a few recipes of least value, the addition of full direc¬ 
tions for Canning Fruits, and more than One Hun¬ 
dred and Fifty New Recipes which have been 
tested by experienced housekeepers. While the lessons of 
economy taught by the late war have not been forgotten, 
the author has well met the demands of the present customs 
of society for a greater variety of dishes than used to be 
thought requisite for the ample supply of the family table.
