The incidents Of u trip flOm home 10 the
Bayou City, while they Nre frequently
amusing and interesting to a party in
travelling, are not of sufficient importance

hearty laugh over some Of the occurrences

& Co., and Levy s. Gibson, both of which
will soon have, if they have not already
received their new goods.
At Millican, which wc reached on Tues

not so brisk as it was last Fall,-the huge
piles of Cotton which were then in the
Streets and on the railroad wharf waiting
transportation, have disappeared, and all

We came down on the Central trains yes

rest, and to-day l have been running
around, doing-well no matter, the public
has no business to know what Houston
