SOMETHING NovEb.-We have received
from W. r. Steele, Esq, the editor, n
bound copy OF the "1rans- ContinentI'-
q little newspaper published on the
Pullman Excursion train, between Bos-
ton and San Francisco, conveying the
members of the Boston Board of Trade
and several invited guests. It is Ger
tainly very neatly printed, and when the
circumstances under which the numbers
wcro issued, arc taken into considera-
ton, tho fact will be rcgarded-as it
really is-something wonderful. The
preparation of the matter, the type set
ting and printing were all done while
the train was running ut an arcrage rate
Of forty miles an hour. The running
time between Albany and Niagara Falls
-3O4 miles-was eight hours and twenty
six minutes. During one portion of the
run on the Grand Trunk (Canada) Rail
road, the time made was twenty-three
miles in twenty four minutes. The
Trans Continental contains general news
matter, telegrams, editorial comments
on the trip, etc. AS the train ran far
ahead Of the regular mail, persons lcsir-
ing to communicate were forced to use
the telegraph. Tho different numbers
of the paper are dated from Niagara
Falls, Omaha, (Nebraska,) Cheyenne,
(Wyoming,) Salt Lake City, utah,
Summit Sierre Nevadas, California etc.

When Uncle Sam, on redeeming his
notes, dedncts something for every piece
torn of them, it may be inferred that he
is acting rather gingerly-that he is, in
fact, rcdceming his own notes at less than
par. He must certainly redeem au
immense number of them to clear by
these very deductions, ns he has up to
the present time, over $3.50
A slight accident to freight train
over the Greonville Railroad, OH Sutur-
