and §100 to §10,000 Registered, have thirty years to 
run, bear interest 7.30 per cent in gold, and are ex-' 
cmpt from United States tax to the holder. 
Thej' are secured by a First and only Mortgage 
upon the Railroad, its franchises, earnings, and all 
the lands and property possessed by the Company. 
These Bonds arc now selling at par and accrued 
interest in currency, and, witli their ample security 
and high rate of interest, we believe there is no in¬ 
vestment accessible to the people •which is more 
profitable or safe. They furnish to the public an 
investment security which combines the ready 
negotiability, the convenience, and high credit of 
a first-class Railroad Bond, with the solidity and 
tafety of a Real Estate Mortgage on land worth at 
least twice the amount loaned.

E. At. Boynton, 80 Beekman st.. New York: 
Sin: This certifies that I saw the Lightning Cross-Cut Saw 
worked by hand, bv two men, Nov. 2d, at this Fair. Said 
\ men and Saw cut off a sound 8x9-inch chestnut log in 3% 
> seconds; and 10 cuts of same, continuously, in two minutes 
anil 18 seconds, or at the rate of a cord of wood in less than 
nine minutes. I am satisfied that for all purposes of cross¬ 
cutting large and small timber, your cross-cuts and wood 
saws have ho rival in speed, in ease, and in simplicity. 
I believe their universal use would save a vast amount of 
money and time, and lighten the toil of millions of men.

BARRY’S 
FRUIT GARDEN. 
By P. BARRY. 
NOTICES BY THE PRESS. 
“ Barry’s Fruit Garden ” is one of those practical, pro¬ 
fusely illustrated, and comprehensive manuals which Orange 
Judd & Co. delight to publish. It seems to tell almost 
everything which one hook can tell about the ins and outs 
and ways and means of fruit culture. — The Advance 
(Chicago). 
This volume of 400 pages, as its title implies, is devoted to 
tlte culture of fruits of every variety in orchards and gar¬ 
dens. It describes the diseases incident to the various fruit 
trees, the kinds of insects that prey upon them, and the 
remedies for ridding trees of. the evil .—Scientific American. 
The author writes from his own practical experience ; and 
that experience is of no ordinary character, being the result 
of more than thirty years’ work at the head of the largest 
nursery in America, where every operation is conducted 
with eminent skill.— JVte Country Gentleman. 
It explains all the minutise of fruit-gardening, even to the 
implements, copiously illustrated by engravings, so that the 
merest novice need not err; gives descriptions of all the 
different kinds of fruit that can he raised in our climate in 
every stage of their lives, from the germ to the fruit-bearing 
period, with instructions in pruning and grafting, in a most 
satisfactory manner. The chapter on grapes alone is worth 
more than the price of the book.—Jersey City Times. 
the cheapest weekly paper for their use, because it pays the 
best, and costs.the least in proportion to circulation. 
The value of advertising good articles largely in the best 
mediums is indicated by the following facts: 
HEARTH AND HOME, which has been prominently ad¬ 
vertised in the leading papers throughout the country dur¬ 
ing the past few months, has added very largely to its cir¬ 
culation. 
The intelligent, thrifty, buying classes find it just what 
they Want. It. is adapted to the whole family, and is READ 
ALL THROUGH. 
■ Advertisements of patent and quack medicines, deceptive 
.schemes, swindling agencies, and unreliable parties, are 
more rigorously excluded than from any other journal ex¬ 
cept The American Agriculturist. The readers know this, 
and therefore readily patronize those who are admitted.

well deserves a .wide circulation. — United Presbyterian

We have orchardists; strawberry hooks, grape books, 
small-fruit hooks, and all that; what-we want is one hook 
for them all. Here we have it. It is quite a scientific work, 
too, giving more than mere arbitrary directions; we have 
the grounds for them. May we rely on what it says ? A 
sufficient answer is that it comes from the office of the 
American Agriculturist.—Zion’s Herald.
