direction, connecting with a line previ-
ously surveyed from the west end down

1t is to be devoutly hoped that
the persistent and long protracted ef-
forts of this company in this field may
eventually be rewarded by the happy
discovery of the best and most practic-
able route into and out of the Tin city,
which would PROFESSIONALLY appear to
be their fixed and well settled purpose
to secure.

action in London against the proprietors
of the London edition of the New York
Herald, for making statements deroga-
tory to his character. in defining
his motivesfor reporting adversely upon
the mining property of the Harvey
Peak Tin company. The Record does
not hesitate to assert its belief that Tom
conscientiously thinks he is right. and
that he will fight it out to the bitter
end, but then it is not to be presumed
that the Record is sufficiently acquaint-

of an intelligent opinion as to the trend
of his conscientious thoughts.

his breaking pillow sharpened, and com
menced breaking new ground an We'd
nesday, the 18th inst, and that other
farmers in that paradisian valley are
turning over their fields preparatory to
spring work, which we would very
naturally infer to he the planting of rice
and cotton, for which a climate so
genial would seem peculiarly fitted.
How delightful it would be to spend a
December day in that enchanting vale,

of the palm leaves stirred by the passing
zephyr, laden with the honied fragrance
Of a thousand and sever tropical flow
ers blooming in the back ground. Oh !!
