are valued at about $4,500 dollars, and there sve some of them of quite a decent size. To the uninitiated, were it not for its weight, the nugget gold might pass for sun-hardened soil picked up haphazard from a garden walk. We would like to have the manufacturing of some tons of gold at the price' that these same pickle bottles have cost the unfortunate shareholders.

THE new opposition Steamboat Company on the Canton river is offering great facilities to share holders. The shares are only five dollars each
and if the promoters' promises are to be relled upon not only will shareholders be enabled to travel at considerably reduced rates, but they will also score by means of a bonus which it is contemplated to pay on return freights. Any how the Steamboat Company and the other lesser lights will have rather a sorry time of it when these things come about.
