(FOR THE Laundry
HAS established greater celebrity than
AZ has ever been obtained by any Other
Starch.
This has been the result of its marked su.
periority in quality, and its invarabe uni.
! lormiiy.
The public may be assured of The conlinu.
ance OF The high standard now established.
The production is over Twenty Tons daily
and the demand has extended throughout The
whole OF the United States, and 10 foreign
countries.
Working thus on very large scale, and
under rigid system, they are able to secure
perfect and uniformity in the quality through
| out the year. This is .he great Desderatu m
in Starch making, and is realized now for
The first time.
The very best starch ihat.can be made, and
no other, is always warted by consumers,
and while this will be supplied to them by
the grocers, as soon as their customers have
learned which is The best, and ask for it
otherwise they would be likely to get that
article on which the largest profit can be
made.
MIR. Kingsford has been engaged in the
manufacture OF starch continuously for the
last 27 years, and during The whole of The
GN''NND t'S uIo SupeTflS-
ion has been, beyond any question, the best
IN the market. For The first II years, he had
the charge OF the works OF VIM. Colgate g.
Co., al which period he invented The process
OF The manufacture of corn starch.

OSwego has recently been taken Jy another fac

ing additional qualities which render /, inyal-

Potato Starch has been extensively packed
and sold as Corn Starch, and has given false
Impressions TO many, as 10 the real merits of

Safe manufactured by Evans s. Watson were

1t will be seen that the crop is as steady as
that Of the great staples, corn, cotton and to-
bacco The character of mining operations has
changed. however. There is now but little ore
found upon the surface or in placers. The inven-
tive skill of our mechanics has been set to work
to construct great machines by which the wash
ing or quartz crushing is accomplished. The
hand work was still further lessened this year,
by the sudden withdrawal of no less than thirty
thousand Californian miners, who turned their
faces towards Fraser river. 1t appears, in fact,
that mining operations in California are only
commenced. Centuries, perhaps ages, will
elapse before the quartz mines will cease to be
productive; and, with the new machinery and
clever men to direct it, the product Of each sue
ceeding year will be greater than the preceding.
The future of California is almost too grand for
finite perception.

LOST BAGGAGE-A Curious SAIE.-The Cen
eral Superintendent Of the New York Central
Railroad has advertised curious sale that is to
take place at the company's depot in Albany. on
Wednesday, the 10th Of January. The property
that is to be sold on that occasion consists al
most entirely OF personal baggage that travellers
have left behind them in the cars during the
years 1856 and 1857. The list runs from No
2,l07 to 2,Gss, comprising over six hundred
packages A large number Of these waits have
been left behind at Niagara Falls and Suspension
Bridge by tourists and pleasure seekers, who in
the excitement Of travel and In their esgerness
to sec the wonders Of the laundering cataract,
paid far too little attention to their carpet bags
and saichels and who, failing to recover them
Immediately, were swept away in the currents Of

What curiosities may not come to light in the

reccsses Of Saratoga trunks The former may not
be peculiarly interesting a. few Of them will
contain anything more than the shirts and socks
and clippers that 90 10 make up the pads me-
clvs Of gentleman travelling for business or
pleasure. But even in these little leathern con-
veniences many small bits Of romance will peep
out in daguerreotypes, love letters and keep

EXTRAORDINARY DnIGENcE or TIE COMMON
CoUNcu--If the two boards Of the Common
Council had only exercised the same diligence
and activity in the right direction during their
whole term Of Office which characterize the
closing hours Of their career, they might have
provided some measures Of good government,
il il was possible for any good to emafiate from
such source. They have met daily for the last
week, and each board seems to vie with the other
az to which shall excel in the Stiffness of their pro-
cecdings. The attempts to re-organize the de
partmcnts Of Street Commissioner and CITY
Inspector. which have occupied their time for
the past few days, used up so much stationery,
and cost 30 much money for printing reports
are nothing more than q reproduction Of the
Charter, with a few small alterations, for the
most part creating some minor Offices, to satisfy
the maws Of hungry Office seekers. The proba-
bility is that the resolutions on this question Of
neither board will be assented TO by the other !:
and If they should happen to do SO, il is still
more probable that the Mayor will veto them.
The members Of the Common Council would
be better employed IL they spent the last week
OF their official existence in doing penance In
sackcloth and ashes for the misdeeds Of the past
ycar.

PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES N THE METRorofI-
