Fun for the "BOy ION returnin.

Fun for the ''B0y."-On returning
home from Milwaukee last Wednes-
day, Uia w. G. Road, the breakman
of the train as it neared Amherst
Junction, imbued with the spirit of
jealousy, probably, which once existed
between the cities of Stevens Point
and Grand Rapids, shouted in stem
torian tones as he passed the seat
wherein we were setting: "AmAe's ST
Junction, Charge Cars for Duck
Greek aud Dectcr0tUe." Of course
it was intended for ace, and the poor
fool didn't realize how it tickled US.
We had heard nothing SO cunning for
years. The Central company should
pension that idiot, after it gets through
with him.

Business PrOspects.-The Erie
Canal at the present time is doing a
larger carrying business than ever be-
fore, not only to the sea Hoard, but
from the sea-board westward. Boats
are crowded to their utmost capacity
and still the call Is fov larger towage
wheraWithR f. satisfy the demands of
commerce. And all this, notwith-
standing the fact that all the great
lines Of rail road are literally keeping
their tracks hot in their efforts to meet
the demands of trade.
The sidings of the Canada Southern
road are not Of sufficient length to
hold tie immense 'freighted trains
which must give the right of way fol
passenger runs This fact is true oil
all the main lines running between the
great west and the sea board, all Of
which tells OF the new life in business
WHICH very soon must be felt in sect,
ions remote from the great centra,
thoroughfares.
