is no authority given for such issues, and
whether the persons who sign the bills as Pre-
sident and Cashier are men Of property we
know not, yet the safest plan will he to refuse
to take them. Such banking is becoming ra.
ther common.
As the business Of sprin. has jus. commenced,
boats running b.twcen this place and ST. Louis
now making their first trip, il may be matter of
some little interest to our readers, and especially
10 those intending % emigrate and settle in
country, 10 learn that during the winter,
not deprived of all the good things of the word,
but live like sighting cocks''-on the fat of the
land. The market Of sub,tantiaks has proved e.
quail to the wants Of tho country, we believe, with
out exception. Venison, wild honey and maple
sugar, the latter since the opening Of spring. have
been brought TO market in great abundance, and
met wits ready sale at fair price. Wild geese
are ,.a;y brought from their airy travelling by our
apo,,smcn, and the finest fish ale caught in large
had all the neccesssres Of life at fair price
none, rs has som.ti;nes been the case, having the
only article in the market, and holding it at an ex-
horb:,an,. Unlike the eastern cities, we have no
suffering poor, neither have we begyars, but all
have been able to supply themselves with every
article necessary for comfort. -.-e@,
Always aiming TO give things as they really are,
we fee. in hcnor bound 10 notice the almost en,;r.
consumption Of fancy article, always scarce il
our market Cupid with his darts, has been busy,
and matched in pairs, til bachelors basin to
fear ":qually timss" Blu. friends, bachelors, don.
despaI. for a willis lon,er-shere are yet some re-
sy-cacesed damsels who have hot "! TED the
siilken CO d. and as the blues is an unpleasant
disease that canhot be rsacte with pills, let each
hope that he may be the successful one in gullins
the fair and pursuadins some one to embark with
him OH LIES tempestuous sea, and then when the
las, hope is gone, to all outward appearances, we'll
make a virtue of necessity, with similar exciama-

We hope soon to hear no more OF "hard tines"
in the Lead Mines. Discoveries of mineral have
of late been SO frequently male that we have t,o't
81 litlio ON caring of them, hat VIC have scarcely
ever ment oned one; however, as it is better late
than never, we will say that the Messrs flaming,

Dion, Kelly, Langwor,hys, O'Mara, r. ATTIC: :
g. Co. Burke & Quisey, Wooten & Herd, and
Mclaughlin, with many others, are mining near
D1 Buqle, all OF whom are doing well. On ma
ny lots the holes almost completely walled with
the mineral taken ont of the ground.
We uAdefstahi from god I.hori:y that valua-

Wills. Mineral Point, Diue River, Snake Digginss,
&c. arg yielding large ,liaat,tes of mhe:al.
A mistake having occurred III tas date Of ths
writ OF election, for members Of the houss Of repre-
scntatives 10 fill the vacancies occasioned by the
resignation Of Patrick Quigley and A. w. Nc
Gre.os, we would state tba, the election is to be
held on Monday the 7th day Of May next, and no.
the 4th, as we stated.
st. Patrick's Day was celeb. ated il Caiena in
appropriate style-upwards Of one hundred per-
SONS sat down n dinnsr--an Grafton was delivered
b. r. Campbell, Esq. The 9Th regular toast ex-
pressing a kindred feoliag between Gaiena and
ID Boquc, shows that the selfish feelings SO often
expressed in the Gazette, is not paraken Of by all
its citizshs, and we believe by very few. We nav:
always thought that tho eagerhess wit, wch that
paper seized every circumstance from which il
cord manufacture any thing to the prejudice OF
OR Territory, and especially this place, was the
result Of prejudice uniou,ded, unkind, ungensr-
and uassncsoned by its readers, a.,d tnsreto.e
passed over many III silence. We i;.oayht press
and po"ple, in place deriving It's principal sup.
port Gom our Territory, were bound, 70 do her jus-
tce, and majority Of the peopIs are, the press and
the selfish to the contrary Notwithstanding. Tho
following is the toast alluded to-
Galena and Du Buque--nsiyhboringt towns; may
the the enterpize and industry Of their inhabitants
continue to improve until they make as comforta-
bic homes, their mineral resonrces will always
keep them rich. Air-Du Buque.

Of the latter notes are frauds, there is no such
