REMARKABLE FACTS.

In the year 1889 the State Of Massachusetts had within
her borders but l67 miles OF rail roads, and then con-
seed doubtful policy to extend them as there was gen.
eral belief that they would prove remuneave In the
following year. 1910. the Cunard line Of steamers were es
tabished, connecting Boston wit Europe The immediate
impulse given to business, extended ITSELF also, into rail
road enterprise and from Boston the lines pushed
westward.
In 1870 the foreign imports Boston sl4 3Os

The Cunard steamers therefore, gave the impulse to rail-
ways facilities commerce. enlarged her market, attracted

them is in connection with upwards of 5000 miles Of rail

HARDENING IN CALIFORNIA. Late papers
iromCalllornia say that large number orper-
sons, in the neighhorhood of San Francisco,
have begun to cultivate the soil. A great
portion of the arabic lands ia under cultva-
ton, improvements are going on in all di-
rections, and preparations are making for
most extensive operations for the present
season. Many persons, by attending to u
few acres of land properly, have accumulat-
ed handsome fortunes in short space OF
time; whilst many thousands have trusted to
the freaks of tickle fortune in the mines, and
have been disagreeably disappointed. The
quality of the vegetables grown is equal to
that raised In any country, whilst the guam
tity to given portion OF land is said to be
unparalleled. The investment of time and
money in these productions is safe and sure.
