We learn that party of pioneers
were in town this week, enroute to the
Suwannee, to spy out the route of the
Inter-Oceanic Canal. They chartered
the steamer Medea for a trip to the Su-
wannee, and will doubtless solve the
question of the proper Gulf outlet for this
great work-Cedar Key Gulf Vieso.
The Cedar Pencil industry includes
three saw mills at Cedar Key, and one
at Crystal river and one at Ellzy, in Levy
county. The market for the products of
these mills is constant and remunerative
and the forests are being constantly

1t is singular that that "odd looking
jug supposed to be relic of the mound
builders" was not found in Orange coun-
ty until after that county went "dry."
We suspect that jugs of this ancient pat

We commend to our protective tar
if friends the ringing declarations from
Andrew Jackson's farewell address The
argument for the revenue reformers of to-

powerfully stated. The candid reader

DRY" and the young Hickory who now
fills the presidential chair. They had
the courage to do right, and let the con-
sequences take care of themselves.

Pensacola is now reaping the bene-
fits (?) of the ill-advised strike among the
guano handlers last year. Where we
used to have dozen guano vessels we
now have not one, and the guano that
should come here goes to Mobile and is
shipped from there to Caryville, through
Pensacola. Verify, the strikers killed the
goose that laid the golden eggs, and, as
the Aduasce- Gazette told them at the
time, are themselves largely the losers
while the commerce of the city also suf

The preliminary survey, under Captain
Mickler, has been made to Ormond, and
the force is now engaged in locating the

by the company and there is little doubt
