the reductions o. prices are quite as great as you
experienced in New York from your Erie snd other
inland lines. There is scarcely better market IN

city is the introduction OF sas Just accomplished by
an enterprisns company, whose works visited
Yesterday. The success Of the experiment was NJ
first doubted but il is certain. All the streets
will be lighted ~ soon rs the lamps can be placed,
aud gas will be as common in stores and private
houses as in New York. The works are the most
perfect altogether. IN the country. Every improve
ment introduced in Boston, New.York, or Phlladel-
phia is here combined with some excellent con
trivances unknown in the Northern cities.
