THROUGH FRElGHT.--The amount OF
through freight for the Air Line far SUR
passes any thing ever realized here before.
The road had made preparations Tor
mammoth business this fall, and supposed
they would hardly be able to employ their
facilities. But now they find they have
not bit too much freight room or TOO
many freight facilities. The prospect is
very gratifying to the Consolidated line,
indeed, and there is but little doubt but
they will have to add vastly to their freight
accommodation for the next season, as
the demand upon them seems to double
each season. And in proportion as the
freight increases over this route, we are
gratifed to find that the passenger travel
also increases, as the road is doing very
fine passenger business, running es it does
in connection with the Bay line steamers to
Baltimore and the Old Dominion steam
ships to New York.

saw his puppy in market cart, apparent-

restored it, without any other remark than
that she found it on the street. The gen.

Where is Drake S. T. 1860 X?" We have
heard this question asked many times,
and for all we knew for a year past he
might be dead. Recently In New York,
we called at his Laboratory in Liberty
Street, and there found this gentleman
barricaded behind tremendous pile of
boxes. distributing funds to a Sunday
School Committee. Our business was to
secure an advertisement. He said 4" My
dear sir, what is the use of advertising
the Plantation Bitters? They sell better
now than when / advertised at such
enormous expense, anu now l have not
made a contract for year l have all
this amount to give to the poor To sat-

tie something to do again, Tor have inn

we'll TO have you let the people know it,"
And SO he ran on in happy, cordial, APP
preciative manner, showing us the Won
ders of his place and the cords of certif-
Gates. Every thing is on magnificent
scale, and is done with neatness and
promptness. While there we saw at least
forty orders come in for these celebrated
Bitters. Cases were being shipped to the
four corners of the world. Drake is not
dead, nor his Bitters either.-Exchange

By no other arithmetical process can the
degired information be obtained BY SO
few figuers:
Six per Cent-Multiply any given nun.
Der of dollars by the number of days Of
interest desired, and divide By sixty, the
result is The true interest on such sum
for such number Of days at six per cent.
Eight Per Cent-Mulliply any given
number Of dollars by the number of days
upon which it is.desired to ascertain the
interst, aud divide By forty five, and the
result will be the interest of such sum for

Ten Per Cent-Multiply the same as
above, and divide by lhirty-six, aud the
