CITY Trade.-If any one doubts the in
crease in our city trade, he should have ex-
amined the immense stocks of goods which
were purchased by our merchants, and the
rapid manner in which they have been dis
posed Of. At no other season, within our
recollection, has business been rs brisk -
With this comes an increase of population
and the improvement ofthe city generally.

The HIGH PRIcE OF Provisions. As.-TherC
continues to be 4 general outcTy in New
York about the dearness OF all kinds Of
household provisions. Good Orange county

lings the pound; beef brings l21 to 10 cents
while everything else is held at proportion
ably exhorbitaDt prices. There is no lack
in the supplies of provisions at all--so 1t Ii
said-the high prices being only grasPin9
exactionso Of the hucksters and grocers.-
The Journal of Commerce, few days ago
took the trouble to compare prices at re-
tail grocery and at the dock where prOvis-
ions ure landed, with the following result:
At the grocery potatoes Is shillings per
barrel-on the boats from 10 to l8 shilings.
Fall pippins from l6 TO IS shillings al the
groccry-on the wharves l2 shillings. Hams
at the grocery, l8 cents per pound-at the
wholesale provision store IA cents. Many
other examples might be cited. Butter now
brings at retail the enormous price of SAC
per pound.
A SMALL VoTE.-It now appears that in
many and perhaps the most OF the States,
there was not full vote at the late Presi-
Dental election. A Baltimore correspond
enr Of the Republic writes as follows:
In Massachusetts the total vote cast on
Tuesday last was, 1872 ,O7l, being Q 1888 less
than the vote four years previous, whilst full
vote OF the State ought to have shown an in
crease of 100000 The whole vote cast in
Connecticut was 60,590, being l,765 less
than at the last Presidential election. Even
in Maryland, notwithstanding the increase
of some 1000 in this city, the vote orthe en-
tire State will show considerable falling
off, whilst in the ordinary ratio of increase it
should have been from 10000 to $4,000 larg-
er. With these facts before us, there is
every reason to believe that the entire vote
has not commanded majority Of the sufT-
RACES ofthe people, Notwithstanding his ap-
parent overwhelming victory.
LIFE IN New YoRk.--The Express, speak
ing of the rapd growth Of New York, says:
"Another novel feature of the city is the
underground building which is going on
round about us In some parts OF the city
half as much business is transacted under
ground as above it. Two stories downward
are lighted from above, and here are at work
in rooms exceedingly well fitted up, all sorts
Of people upon all sorts Of jobs. Some ol
the best warerooms and salcsrooms ure be-
low the surface of the earth. The printing
of newspapers is nearly altogether subter-
ranean business, and thousands of people,
too, live in the first and second basement or
cellars, and some Of them far into the bowels
of the earth. We are often thankful that

INTERESTING INcIDEET.-The Ohio Stats
Journal relates the following incident, show
ing the presence Of mind Of women, in ex-
traordinary danger:
"Senator Covey was sitting in the ladies'
cabin, and in the crash of stove, near which
he was sitting, was thrown upon him, and
broke his leg. A young lady of our ac.
quantance, Miss Charlotte Stone, of Nc
Connelsville, manifested great presence OF
mind. by her exertions she removed the
hot stove from Mr.. Covey, and took him
from the cabin wreck to the guard OF the
boat. She then procured a mattress, and put
him on it till he could be removed The
7 hot stove, with its burning contents, was on
! the floor. and would soon have set the wreck
on fire. She took blankets and sheets from
the berths, and piungng them in the water,
threw them on the stove and floor, and thus
avoided that danger"

TERRIBLE DUEL IN CALIFoRNIA.-By
the Santa Clara Register we are informed
of the following particulars Of a duel which
came offin Santa Clra county, near Gil
roy's ranch, and which, in ferocity and des-
peraton, we ind no parallel for in theStatc.
1t occurred said the Register, between a
Mexican and a native Californian, about a
game of"monte," and Colts navy rcvovers
were the weapors Used in combat. Nine
shots were fired, and four of the bnlls took
effect in each of the combatants. Both par
ties expired Immediately, and they were
each ushcred into the presence Of their Ma
ker to answer for the murder of the other.
After the second or third shot, the Califor-
nian crawled on his hands and knees nearer
his antagonist, and fired, in order TO make
sure of his victim. This shot took effect in
the abdomen of the Mexican.

The locomotive on the Connecticut river

an average of more than mile minute,
