Mr.. James Lane returned to this city
Yesterday from a thirty days trip to
California. He is at the Hotel Behler.
The business in the western States,
said Mr.. Lane, lis not much compared
with the States East. There is no man
ufacturing, but simply fruit raising and
mining. I saw at San Francisco an
English barge loaded with coal from
Australia, and it occurred to me what
great thing 1t would be for this country
if a water way was cut through Central
America, so that coal from the East
and South could be shipped TO the west
coast, and keep the money paid the Eng
fish and foreign countries for the pro-
duct here in our own country"

said he, "the goats are still on Maryland
Heights-the young and the Old-by the
thousands. l do not see how they live
in the winter, and they are the merriest
kind of goats in the world. You cannot
tdr.ve them, so they say, and all the way
you can get them up a hill after they
are somewhat dOmesticated, is to let
them back up, as they WI not go for
ward"

Mr.. John Bush. of New York, was
about the Windsor last evening, arriv-
ing in the city on a morning train.
There does not appear to be" said
Mr.. Bush, so much want and suffering
because of honest poverty n New York
this season as one year ago, and l am
told This is true in many Of the other
leading cities East. So think we may
take ii that times are better and on the
improving order over one year ago.
