REDUCED FARES ON THE BOSTON AND AL
BANY RhLRoAD.-The reduced passenger tariff
on the Boston and Albany railroad takes effect
to-day. The new rate is three cents mile for
all distances of twenty miles and under, and
two and eighty-three one-hundredths cents for
distances over twenty miles The reduction
upon fares between Worcester and Pittsfeld and
the intermediate stations is much greater than
east OF Worcester or west of Pittsfield on the
state line, for the reason that the old rates were
much higher over that portion of the road.
There will be an exact equality now over all
parts of the line. The following table will show
the old and new rates between Worcester and
some of the most important points on the road,
aud the amount Of reduction. The figures
given are the prices for tickets bought at the
ticket offices:

Tammaay leaders in the Rochester convention.
II is confidently asserted that they have come
to an agreement with the opposing organizations,
by which all differences are to be harmonized,
both delegations admitted on equal terms, and a
united front made against the republicans. But
1t is asserted by others that the leading ringmas-

he brings suit against Oliver Dale for en-

temperate man. giving his evidence in the
case, land found his (Dale's) arms around
my wifcs neck, he kissing her and using
endearing language to her; l did not wish
to lay hands on him, but did not think it
quite proper The meek and long suffer
ing spirit OF this man ought to entitle him
to heaven right away; and if Mrs. Bergner
should poison him, shAwould he only giving
him reward already richly won.

hearance towards his evil nature, and a ten
derness worthy Of her sex, she invariably
put him under the bed when her visitors
called, that he might not by any means give
rem to his passion; but he would look out
from his hiding place occasionally, and
once he said, with diabolical malice, "As

large, prosperous and increasing business,
and III Boston alone there are five or six
wholesale dealers who represent a capital
of between 100000 and 100000 The vol
umc of trade the past three Or four months,
foots up a larger Aggregate than at til" cor
responding time year ago, and m%nutac-
turers are now generally busy. making up
supplies for the spring trade. Large orders
are being constantly filled for shipment to
California, made up of wide varieties, and
the Eastern and provincial trade has been
steady and satisfactory. while the West
are not slow in providing themselves with
these goods of New England manufacture.
Many new styles Of pins. buttons, ladies'
sets, etc. are now coming on the market,
and the demand for badge pins is almost
incredible. as every society and club adopts
some emblem to be worn as a pin. Rubber
and horn goods are very fashionable and
popular, and owing 70 their comparative
chcapneSs, are sold in large quantities both
FOR home use and for export.
