As these lu-»trtu ioi.s seem to meet with gen
eral irv jr among all clashes ot our leflow-citiz-ns
:a lo;\»«ving items relative to a similar Com
pany that has recently been organized at the
North, will be of particular interest. The plan
: of operations constitutes its distinguishing ieat
| ures riom all that hive yet been Parted, and to
• us these opera’ions appear less objectionable than
: so ne of the leatures oi the older Companies.—

j‘ 1.7 h.- r.evv Coinpony is intended to be a per
i
tiieir money as long as they please.
The members can receive their dividends in
' ca‘ h as soon as their payments and dividends
amount to SIOO, without wailing till the wind
ing up of the concern. In fact, they have the
; benefit ot all their dividends from the cornmence
. ment, b. ing credited their lull proportion. And
they can pay in the whole SIOU at once, it they
wish.
3. The borrower is credited, every year, for
all hie monthly payments—so that he is not ob
liged to pay interest on the whole sum borrow
ed’ alter he has paid b. ck a part of it: his interest
diminishes year by year.
4. He knows, by the the table, how much h»*
has to pay, and bow long he has to pay it in,
without being subjected to any uncertainty.
5. He can, at any time, redeem his mortgage
by paying up the balance that remain due.
6. Al/ member can draw out all his money
at any i.ne, with interest, whenever he wishes,
by giving a month’s notice. And, in caseot bis
death, his heirs or representatives can do the
>ame thing.
7 The meeting of the directors are always held
I on a j articular day of the month, and hour of the
day—so that borrowers know exactly when
their cases will be acted upon.
8 The whole plan and working of the Asso
ciation are much more simple and easily under
stood than those <»l any other.
i’hese new and p--< ■ iar features of this Asso
ciation must recommend it to the favor both ol
muse who wish to invest and those who wish

bcm lit of both.

This important undertaking is in rapid pro- 1

a late date says :
'■ We have recently traversed the whole line j

pared to speak advisedly ol the portion before ■
visited, as well aS ot the whole route. Ti e road,
so l.ir as the '■ Empire’’ station, has been proven
as stable, capable, and as little needing repirs, .
as we predicted in August las*. An immense ■
amount of work Jias been, and is continually tie- !
iug done upon it, with sale and ju icieus econp
my. Rails have been laid from the Empire sta- I
tion to the "summit”—literaly as well as nom- 1
inaily of the road—the passenger and freight 1
i trains pass daily from Aspinwall to the ‘'Sum-;

The great difficulties existing at the Summit, 1

active foice he now has under him, the grading

• the Pacific wili be complete I in three m .’:ths
Notwithstanding the filing grading, on the
Pacific side it is the most difficult am! laborious
on the whole line, y?t it is hoped that a train of
cars will pass over the entire route from Aspin

Spiritual Marriage.—A man by the nrme
ol P. S. Blackman ol Painesville, and a young
lady by the name of Julia Hurlburt, daughter oi
Doctor Hurlburt of Kirtland, were spiritually
married at the latter place-on Sunday, October
15th. The ceremony consisted of matrimonial
declarations made by themselves in the presence
ol the friends, about fifty being present. The
services consisted of the following poetical an
nouncement : “Have you seen the morning sun
beam kiss the opening blossom ? Thus did our
spirits meet and greet at the first interview ;
as the invisibia "lements of nature unite and
blend I" one harmonious impulse, so are oiirspi
i its affinitized into one accordant living force
W- never are thus united by the eternal law- ot
anffi ty, naught has authority to separate. We
fairs introduce ourselves unto you in the relation
of uu'ibßnd and wife.”— Ohio Paper.

determination to remain in Missouri during the
winter is the better to enable him to attend to
his share of his contest with Col. Benton, the
end of which may not come off for some months
yet. His absence from the Senate Chamber will
make the election of another pro ton. President

Health of tue City.— From all the Further
, inquiry we have been able to make upon this
subject oi late so interesting, we are led to the
I conviction that the health of our city is excel-
J lent. Os ten heads of families assembled a few
, evenings since, not one knew oi a single case of
j sickness in the whole circle of his acquaintance,
j I he. health of the place has also been recently
I submitted to a pretty severe test. There is an
j unusual amount of shipping in the bay; the pas
j sengers and crews that have been brought in are
| entire strangers. Their crews, at least, have
I been confined to ifhe wharf and to those places
I where they were most likely to contract disease;
i this large accession to our population occurred
more than two weeks ago, and not one solitary
case of sickness has been known to be among
them. We think it is a mistake that frost is ne
cessary to arrest the lever, when the epidemie
occurs late in the season it may be so, but i.r
Havana it ended about the Ist of August. In
New Orleans it seldom lingers until frost; in
1852 it ended here about the last week
in October, while the frost did not come until
near December, and this year we have no deci
ded frost yet, and we venture to assert that there
is not a trace of it to be found in our city.— Ch.
Standard, 10 inst.
Mechanics.—We find in the Richmond, Va.
Bulletin the’following beautiful extract from Bul
wer’s celebrated play, entitled the Carpenter of
Rouen. It is a high compliment to Mechanics:
“What have they not done. Have they not
: opened the secret chambers ot the mighty deep
| and extracted its treasures, and made the raging
j billows their highway, on which they ride as on
I a tamed steed ? Are not the elements ol fire and
wafer chained to tue crank, and at the mechan
ics bidding compelled to turn it? Have not me
chanics opened the bowelsot the ea.rth, and made
its products contribute to our wants t The for-’
si-d lightning, is their plaything and they ride 1
triumphant on the wings of the mighty wind
i o the wise they are floodgates ot knowledge, i
aiel kings and queens aie decorated by their I
handiwork. He veto made the universe was a I
great Mechanic.”
