 GONE TO SuRvEY.-A surveyor and assist ants left this morning to survey the town. site, lay of lots, etc, at the Tiptop mill site. We have not learned what the name of the new metropolis is to be.

He gives, as reason for not marrying a rich mans wife's sister, that he would have to give up his name, which is an old one that he doesn't like to part with. "Were to marry her." says lie, people woald point me out in the street and say, there goes Lobenstein's brother-In-law,' or "Levy's son-in-law," and thus my name would be entirely forgotten. No, no, I would rather keep my own name and remain poor, than to change it for rich mans son-in-law, or brother-in- law, even if did get big stock of goods to boot"
