Every years Hants Co., N.S. contributes her share and California appears to be the Eldorado of the majority of those who emigrate. Last week a party of 18 left Newport Station for California and their names are as follows: Shubeal DIMOCK, wife and two children; Mrs. Edward DIMOCK, Lorenzo WALLEY, Ernest FREEMAN, George STEVENS of Scotch Village, Newport; Mrs. WALLACE of West Gore; J.W. MURDOCK of Noel. In addition to these, Mrs. J. O'BRIEN and a family of six children left Noel to join the party at Newport Station, but one daughter took sick at Moose Brook and they had to lay over until she recovers. Mr. Shubeal Dimock and family started a few days before the others and will, after visiting Boston, join the party at Montreal. - Windsor Tribune
