ANEW YORK telegram of Oct 9th
says one thousand and twenty emigrants
arrived at Castle Garden this morning.
In consideration of the fact that emf
grafton to America is unprecedented in
numbers and that the emigration of 1880
is expected to be even greater than that
of the present year, the emigration CON-
missioners, together with officers of
societies which help to take care of the
newly arrived emigrants, have made
special efforts to gather accurate infor-
nation concerning districts which offer
the best advantages to settlers. During
the present year the New York emigra-
ton commissioners have helped about
10000 emigrants to get to western states.
Not one has returned.
