Levert, of the wealthy 'commission house of (Levert, Burguieres & Co.. for the sumn of $15,000. A tract of 320 acres adjoining was also sold to him for $475. Mr, Putnam holds a lease of the property for the present year, and is the owner of a large amount of the machinery in the Re finery. We have been informed, however, that an arrangement will very likely be made whereby the plant will be greatly improved and every facility afforded for taking off the cane crops of those planters who have been selling by the ton to local refineries. The wonderful success of Mr. Levert in managing the St. John refinery in St. Martin Parishi will have a beneficial effect in pro moting the sugar industry here, when it is known that he is interest ed Rose Hill. salt on Jeflereon's Island. For several days the rumor that salt had been discovered on Jeffer son's Island has been circulated on the streets. Persons from the neigh borhood would say that they had every reason to believe the rumor to be true, but nothing obsoluofly posi tive, no specimens of the mineral had been brought to town. On 'l'uesday afternoon Mr. James A. Lee sent Mr. John Taylor, one of his clerks, out to the Island to see what is the basis of these rumors. Mtr. Taylor learned that on the pre ceeding Friday afternoon, the drill had struck a hard substance at a depth of 260 feet, which they .gapp posed to be salt. When Mr. Taylor left, the boring had reached a depth of three hundred and three feet, and was still in the same substance. Capt. Lucas, who is manager of the mnines On Avery's Island, told us that there is no doubt that salt has been found, that is an excellent arti cle, and that he believes it to be in large quantities. Capt. Lucas said he had made an examination anso a report of the matter, but that this report he could not yet give out for publication. We have seen a small piece of the salt, which was given Mr. L. Bazus by the engineer of the drill and Joe Landry. It is a clear l beautiful piece of crystal rock, very much, so far as we can judge, like ' that on Avery's Island.'-Weeklyf Iberian.;\ C. M.

James Gebert, has refturned after five weeks absance in varioud por. tions of several states. He visited California. South Dakota and Colo rado, more especially. He says that times are dull and brisk according to the locality. For instance the gold mining camps of the West do not seem to be at all afiected by "Hard Times." And the orange and lemon regions, of California are thriving. The crops there are magnificent, and because of the failure of the Florida crop, are bringing good prices. Mr. Gebert says in one portion of the West, he was offered 3000 horses, big and little, fat and poor, for $2. 000.
