Where the translator has not followed the

and becomes noted only for verbal nicely.

TRANSFORMATIONS OF GooDs TO THE WEST.
The Boston Transcript says the loss to
New England ,occasioned by the troubles at
Erie last winter, is upwards of one million
of dollars. The merchants of New Eng
land have undertaken to investigate the
cause of the detention of the goods they
sent. They sayit arises froma combina-
ton of circumstances, such as, the troubles
at Erie, the want of sufficient equipment on
the other lines, and general want ofprop-
er system upon the great roads to the West.
