The junior editor of the Boston Galaxy gives an imaginary excursion to the moon, which contains some good hits. Among the rest Is the following:
 He enquiries the name of certain phan- tom, and Asmodeus answers hi1n--s.It is Newspaper Independence. He was kicked out of the world because wherever he showed his head about newspaper office, it was sure to lose customers. Once in while, nov, you know, some paragraphist of the world grows lunatic, gets glimpses ofthe world, and peeps at independence--bu is sure to lose his bread by it, if he does not get mobbed.n

Great Speeulations.-Buying and selling is the order of the day. Our city is filled with speculators who are all on tiptoe. Se- yeral snug fortunes of from ten to twenty thousand dollars have already been made. Gov. Cass has disposed of the front pari of his farm as lay back as Larned street. for one hundred thousand dollars. Extensive improvements are rapidly making in De- uoit. Our city authorities are authorised to obtain a loan of one hundred thousand dol- lars, and ourselves think seriously of adver- Using FOR SALE a number of bad debts.

It is always . pleasant sight to every well

1t IS always pleasant sight to every well regulated and respectable community, when paper, which has heretofore boen remarka- ble for personality and violent vulgar abuse, changes its tone and becomes more decent and less reprehensible, even though the change should be gradual. Thus, we make no doubt that the patrons of the Gazette arc pleased with the change which has ceme over the spirit of that paper in this respect. It has improved as fast and as far as in the na- trre of things could have been expected.- The personal abuse which formerly pervaded its every column, Is now restricted to one lit- tie corner, and poured in one little but con- tinaal stream. on the head of ono man. We doubt not the emission is involuntary, for as the world was not made in a day, we cannot expect the Gazette to be decent all at once. e.- It issues, III it's last number, a sweeping de- nunciation against every man who may dare to disobey the will of the Delegate, as ex- pressed by him at the corners of the streets, by voting for Col. Fowler. We much mis- take the character of this free people, if the effect of such general denunciations will not be to recoil with three fold force, against those who prompt, and him that utters them,- What is majority of the people of this county to be told that if they voto for a cer- tain individual they brand themselves with the character of refugees, outcasts and cul- prits. Had the Advocate put forth such an article, the horror of the Gazette would have been extrome-its reproduction great-and well would we have deserved it.
