The RoTHscHrLDs.-We can hardly believe In
the literal truth of the statement which came over

exists, not only among the commercial world, but
citizens in general, to learn the detailed facts con-
nected with this item of news.

Quoted Course in the United States-and justly so.
We have visited it several times, and never have
We seen such order and consequently pleasure and

stand, from which there is so beautiful view, not

rable location so contiguous to the business of every

time when business operations for the day are sus-
pended, and with many closed. 1t is not to be Won
dered al, that it has become fashionable and the
