It was uoticeable in A litany by a gravelike stillness, which lue few here seemed to enjoy Immensely.

Last Saturday we had the pleasure of a ride through the streets of Albany after one of the Ruseel traction engines. It was a novel kind of a way for navigation, but o satisfactory one, notwithstanding the fact that tbe engine ran off tbe track, for it exhibited the splendid working quali ties of the Rqssel engine.
