GREAT NATIONAL LOAN. 50T-NEW FIVE; PER GENT. BONDS OF THE UNITED STATES. The Treasury Department is now able to promise'that the registered Certificates of Stdok, and a good part of the Cou pon Bonds, of the New Loan of the United States, bearing Five per cent. Interest, payable quarterly in Gold, will be ready for delivery early in the present month. The Sub scriptions to the Loan now amount to #62,000,000, and it is expected that the Subscriptions and Sales will progress more rapidly when the Certificates and Bonds are ready for market abroad as well as at hemd. The whole sum of Five per Cents offered to the public generally, and to the holders of United States 6-20 Bonds, without qualification, is #200,- 000,000. Whpn this amount, to which preference is thus given, ia taken np, the remainder of the Five per Cents, #350,000,000, embraced in the New Loan of July 14, 1870, "for refunding the Public Debt, will be offered in connection with 300,000,000, Four nnd one-half per Cents, and any part of 700,000,000 of Four*per Cents, the [one running fifteen years and the other thirty years. The following is a copy of the New Five per Cent. Bond, under and pursuant to the New Loan Act of Congress: fobm of 5 rrn cent. bond. interest | FUNDED LOAN OF 1881 | 6 pet cent. UNITED STATES OF AMERICA ARE INDEBTED TO THE BEARER IN THR SOM OF DOLLARS. THIS BOND is issued in accordance with the provisions Os an Act of Congress entitlod “An Act to authorize the refunding of the National Debt,” approved July 14, 1876,- amended by an Act approved January 20, 1871, and is re deemable at tbe pleasure of the United States, after the first day of May, A. D., 1881, lu Coin of the standard value of the United States on said July 14, 1870, with interest in such Coin, from the day of the date hereof, at the rate of FIVE PER CENTUM per annum, payable quarterly, on the first day of February, May, August, and November, in each year. The principal and interest are exempt from the payment of all Taxes or Duties of the United States, as well as from taxation in any form, by or under State, mu nicipal, or local authority. Wasiiinoton 18 Entered Recorded Register of the Treasury. Registered Bonds will be issued of the denominations of #6O, #IOO, #6OO, #I,OOO, #6,000, and #IO,OOO, and coupon bonds of each denomination except the last two. The interest will be payable in the United States, at the office of the Treas urer, any Assistant Treasurer, or designated depository of the Government, quarterly, on the first days of February, May, August, and November, in each year. The Interest on the Registered Stock of this Loan, it is determined by the Treasury Department, will be paid as conveniently to the holder as on the Coupon Stock, and per sonal attendance, or attendance by proxy, at the Treasury, to draw and receipt for the Interest win be dispensed with, whenever the check of the United States Treasury, mailed punctually to the address and order of each holder, on oT before every quarter-day, is preferred to such attendance. This check payable in Gold Coin at the Treasury In New York, (or such other office as the Stock is registered at), will be nego tiable or collectable on the indorsement of the owner or owners of the Slock. In pursuance of this arrangement, the subscribers to, or purchasers of, the Stock jn its regis tered form, (which is a complete protection against theft or other losses Incident to Coupon Bonds payable to Bearer) are advised to give their Post-office address ia full, and to notify of any change in tlio'address between quarter days. The whole proceeds of the new loan will be applied to the payment or redemption and cancellation of the 5-20 years six per cent, bonds, and, in addition to these proceeds, the 6-20s are now being reduced by purchase at the rate of #lO,- 000,000 per month. The entire effect, therefore, of The New Loan, in connec tion with the existing Sinking Fund process of the Treas ury, is to reduce both Principal and Interest of the Fublic Debt of the United States. The Loan creates no additional Supply of Qovernment Stocks, while the application of the sur plus revenues derived In Gold from Customs is constantly lessening, as it has been doing for two years past, the Funded Stocks bearing six per cent. Gold Interest. The Ist of May schedule of the Public Debt, which lias just been published by the Seoretary of the Treasury’, shows a reduction in these Stocks since the April schedule of 812,215,700, and a further lessening of the yearly interest charge thereon of 8732,942. This leaves the total yearly Interest charge in Geld 8111,982,034. In the same month the Treasury paid and cancelled 82,470,000 of the Three per Cent. Currency Debt, reducing, the whole of this debt bear ing interest to 851,023,000, and the yearly interest charge thereon to 81,537,470. The proposed further reduction of the annual interest charge upon the Public Debt by refunding is as follows; By exchange of $500,000,000 United States six per cents for new five per cents of 1861 $5,000,000 By oxchange .of $300,000,000 United States six per cents for four and a half per cents of 1866, 4,600,000 By exchange of 700,000,000 United States six per cents for four per cents of 1901 14,000,000 Total saving per annum by refunding $23,500,000 The large and rapid accumnfetion in the Jast few years of private capital now retired from active business, and of the cash Savings and Life Insurance premiums deposited with or intrusted to the provides! institutions of the coun try—all seeking the most undoubted security, pledged to be kept free of all taxes, under national or local authority, and content, provided this object be assured, with moderate rates of interest—will, no douht, ultimately absorb so much of these New Stooks as may not be taken in voluntary con version of United States 5-20 e, or marketed abroad. C. C. NOBVELL, In charge of United States Loan Advertising. T&eascbt Office, I New York, May 2,1871. 1 20—3 U-22 Rev. Sir. Henry. Last Fall, as a number of the members of the Cincinnati Preachers’ Meeting well remember, Rev. Mr. Henry, of the Wesleyan Church, Ire land, was present, and spoke at one of the meet ings. He came to America with letters of recommendation from Rev. Robinson Scott and Rev. Wm. Arthur. His health being infirm, he hoped that a residence in the Central or South western belt of our country would prove bene ficial. Proceeding with his wife to Tennessee, he was present at the session of the Tennessee Conference, and was admitted to that body, and appointed by Bishop Simpson to the second charge, McMiiinville. For a while his health seemed better, but after a time pulmonary in dications of an unmistakable character pointed to his early death. He was better and worse during the Winter and early Spring, but &4out the middle of April 'he fell asleep in Jesus. His remains were brought to Cincinnati for inter ment, Rev. Dr. J. F. Wright and Rev. C. W. Ketcham attending the funeral ceremonies, from the residence of brother Wm. Betty. The remains were interred by the side of those of his father-in-law, Rev. Robert Wallace, in the Wesleyan Cemetery. Cincinnati. It will be remembered that Mr. Wallace was co-delegate with Dr. Scott, from Ireland, and that be died in our city, of cholera, in 1866, during the ses sion of the Cincinnati Conference, at Ripley. Mrs. Henry, whose father and .husband have thus strangely found a grave in a land of strangers, is still at McMinnville, a stranger in a strange laud, with two children in her care, the youngest being but two or three weeks old. Western Advocate. Facts Worth Knowing. During a recent trial or comparison of ordinary Bak ing Powders in New York, with Dooley’s Yeast Pow der. it was shown conclusively that better results were attained from one hall to two thirds the quantity of the latter, than with any other in market. The secret of the success lies in the care with which Dooley’s Yeast Powder is prepared, and its entire freedom from sub stances that are injurious to the system. We challenge comparison at any and all times. The verdict of the consumer is always in our fa ror. For sale by ail Groeere. 19 and 21 Died. Rev.

While we sympathize with the family and friends of the deceased, the Church will no doubt feel its great loss, and drop a silent tear. J. H. Jennings. Notice.

TO be good and durable, a O O L I ) I* E N" .should be made of 16 carat gold, as no writing fluid will corrode gold of this fineness; be sufficiently heavy to bo strong and possess good elasticity. The points should boos the best quality of Tridosmium, (commonly called diamonds.) firmly attached to the gold and well finished. It is almost impossible to wear out such a point on paper. Those who wish to enjoy the advantages of GEN UINE GOLD PENS should only pur chase those that possess the above qualities, and be careful in selecting a pen adapted to the hand, as they necessarily vary in point and spring.
