PROSPECTS OF GoLD.-Though the gold
is slow in coming, confidence is again re-
viving. 1t is not possible that so many
persons can be deceived. BY the Is. Of
February, from the most authentic advices
that could be received, $4,000 had been
extracted. At least, 8! 100000 Of that is
bound to England; the remainder to the
United States, and States on the Pacific
coast. When one Of the rich galeons ar
rive in New York, times will change, for
then the merchants will feel the positive
assurance that there is gold in California.
which will hereafter flow in a steady stream
to New York. That want of confidence
is the circumstance which aggrayates the
present pressure in all our Atlantic Cities
Though no small portion Of the gold goes
to England, still it will relieve The striugen-
cy in our country; for whenever money
is abundant in London, it has a reaction on
New York.

From the Albany August
Valuable and Curious Relics of
the Past.

Yesterday the Regents Of the Universe
iy sent into the House, report of their
doings under the resolution of AT, requir.
ing the Secretary of State to select and de-
liver 10 them for preservation in the Safe
Library, the documents, paper and parch.
ment, relative to the early history of the
State, then among the archives of the De-
parlment.
The report shows that large mass oil
documents of great interest and value have
been thus rescued from Decay, and made
accessible TO the public. A catalogue OF
the collections, with notes and annoiations.
by DIR. O'CalIaghan, who is so widely dis
iinguished for his researches into the early
annals of the State, accompanies the report,
and sufficiently indicates the importance OF
the collection.
The Regents, however, point a few
classes oil papers, as those of most value,
and we note some of them.
The parchment of most interest is per-
haps the original Character of Charles ii
To his brother James, Duke Of York, in
1864. 1t is comparatively in good preser-
ton. and the ink still retains its original
color. This sheet has been placed under
glass, in neat frame, and now hangs at
the entrance into The State Library.
Several Royal Commissions are among
the collection. The oldest of these is one
of William and Mary, issued in 1859, con-
shutting Henry Slaughter Captain General
of the Province of New-York.
Another class of papers are the oaths of
allegiance and Office, (from 1893 to 1910
containing the aulogra phs of some of the
most eminent legislators for more than a
century. These, 10 no, few of the Curl
GUS in these matters, are of rare interest.
There are also the rolls of laws passed
by the Province, some of which, it is sta
ted, have never been in print-the certi6-
Gates of entry for land, and the land pats
entS.
The fact speaks we'll for the care with
which these documents have been over
hauled and preserved, that $50 sheets of
parchment have been rescued from a state
bordering on decay, and restored legibilry
and that all the antiquarian treasures are
now ready to be deposited in the Library
for public inspection.
Besides these there are many valuable
papers. not suitable for exhibition, which
the Regents recommend should be bound
and preserved in the office of the Secretary
of State.

MAPLE SUGAR MANUFACTURED Ar THE
EsT.-Few persons are aware of the
large amount of this article that is yearly
manufactured at the West. late number
OF the Toronto Farmer says that the north.
ern portions of the Canada settlements will
produce the greatest quantity of sugar from
the maple. The forests on the south shore
of Lake Huron, as well as those on nu-
merous islands on that extensive sheet of
water, contain very large quantity of The
larges, size sugar maple; and in that section
of country. the sugar season lasts third
longer Than ii does on the borders of Lakes
Ontario and Eric. A merchant, who
trades extensively in the article of maple
sugar, manufactured by the Indians, has
repeatedly assured us, if proper encourages
nent was given TO the business, The sugar
manufactured in that region by the Indians
and white population, might be made TO
yield an actual return Of upwards of $780,
600. On the great Man tou Island, even
as unfavofable as was last year for the bus
mess, the aborigines made and sold upwards
of 100000 OF sugar; considerable portion
of which was bought by Michigan mer-
chants, in exchange for wooden and cotton
goods. Detroit Free Press.

TAKING 1T EAsY.-Andrew Bradbury.
member of the Holyoke Mining Compa-
ny which sailed from New York for Cha
gres in the bark S. l.. Crowel, writes a
letter 10 the Northampton Courier d Her
aid, descriptive of the passage. His ac.
count Of a storm at sea is remarkably graph
c:
Waves like mountains seemed about TO
overwhelm us, when the bark would glide
up their heaving sides, and overlapping
them would seem about to pitch summer
set into the gulf below. Anon a sea would
break against the side of tie vessel, and
the spray fly over like blown snow. The
huge waves in the distance with their caps
OF foam appeared like blue mountains with
snOw>banks crowned. Sometimes the wind
would lift off the top of wave and scatter
it like feathers. The tempest howcd
through the rigging, and the proud ship
bowed and rceled like young oak in the
wind. Md this UiM confusion I scent
6elOa0 into q berth and fell asleep.
He sleeps till about midnight, and awakes
dreadfully sea-sick. Ascending a narrow
passage he puts his head out of the gang
way and feels better. Still
The Storm God was holding his revcls
the winds were piping his merrmcnt,
and the pillows were dancing to the chorus
| retired 10 my berth, slept, dreamed,
a'cOke IN the morning, and found all
things safe.

DARING HIGHWAY RoBBERY.-We I'M

DARING HIGHWAY ROBBERY.-W un-
dcrsand that young man in the employ
OF DR.. Luning, of this city, was yesterday
robbed of one thousand dollars, while com
ing from Cedarburgh, and about six miles
from this city. The young man stopped
in the woods for few moments, when two
men came up behind him, and one of them
struck him a blow on the head, which pros
traed him senscless on the ground. They
then took his money, and made their es
cape.
An intelligent correspondent furnishes us
with the following additional particulars.
Hghvoy NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. about
noon bold and daring robbery was COM
mitled on the road to Graiien. Mr. Orf,
foreman of Noonan's Mills. left home in
company with driver. They proceeded
TO within six IN les of our city, when Mr..
OrG aIighted, requesting The driver TO go on
and he would join him in few minutes
The driver continued on for mile or so,
when no concluded he would stop and a.
wait his coming. In The meanwhile team
containing three persons came along, and
discovered Mr. Orff lying on the ground
within few rods Of the road. One of the
persons from the wagon approached him,
and endeavored 10 awake him, suppos ing
him asleep; however, on examination he
saw that lie was insensible. After he was
resuscilated. he said, on being inlerrogated
i'll regard to his situation, that he had been
attacked by two persons with a club, re-
ceiving the blows on his head. He has
lost about 81 900 in cash. and gold watch
valued ataaboul $50. He was brought to
lltlle tavern, within four miles of our city,
where he is receiving medical trealment.-
He is recovering slowly. The perpetra-
tors of this bold assassination are pursued,
and we trust for the character Of our city
and State, that they will not go unpunish-
ed. BY those who know him, Mr.. o. is
spoken of as young man of exemplary
character, and excellent business habits

A SINGULAR CoiNCIDENCE.-The last
night of the session of the Senate. Senators
Foote, of Mississippi, and Walker, of Wis
consin, were both found together on the
slavery question, and also on the Home
Department.
Thus ii appears that the whg House OF
Representatives got its Home Department
through the Senate, but it dare not fulfil the
bargain and carry the slavery extension
amendment Though the House, although
the most of the wings of Pennsylvania
changed their course and tried to do it,
There was little shame lel, in the wing
party.
But for the democratic Senators in favor
Of Walkers amendment, there would have
been no Home Department in which Tom
Ewing could now be working his gulIoline

port published in the New Orleans papers,
il appears that during The Cholera there.
but three deaths occurred among the Order
of Suns of Temperance. Considering the
extensive and fatal prevalence Of the dis

the princip es of this Order, and we doubt
not will exercise its due effect upon the
