count of the dense foliage will be To-
Gated so that the proper good can be
obtained. New lights, a much i'm
proved pattern over the old ones will
also be used. This contract will go in
to effect, Oct. /. and IL not satisfactory

San Francisco. Sept. 15.-Of those who
arrived on the Excelsior, today. from

money. but few were communicative
enough to admit how much they had. F.

more are swarming in every day, but
that the provisions are already running
