COMPANY LIMITED, AND WHY.
am sorry that up to this time the comps
ny is not so large as usual. This Is owing
10 two causes First, the unusual GOODNESS OF
the sprlug and summer; and, second, tie
scarcity OF means. ( learn here from all
quarters that this last is universal.
Still, there is good company here, and TO
begin witb regard TO that, will say what Is
pccuiarly interesting to you all. Mr.. james
Lyons, who came here recently very unWell,
is wonderfully improved and is getting
strong aud looking bright.

There are some hiyh-splrted ga'lants rem
