Farewell word that must be, and hath been,
sound that makes US nger."
The existence Of the Daily City Gazette term-
mates with this number. The paper which we have
endeavored to endear TO SOME at least OF its readers
is no longer. 1t is dead! Hard times and other
rangemen ts have induced us to announce this melan-
choly intelligence You, who have wished the Ga
zetle extinct for years, enjoy your triumph! Your
wish has been gratified your object accomplished.
The bold determined independent generous, liberal

the determined foe Of badly managed banks, and all
monopolies-this Gazette is dead The gibe and
the lest are hushed-and the martial strain is
heard no more.
"Weep for the word is spoken
Mourn for the knell hath knod."

the coffin 1t is a cold and chilling sound-it makes

We hardly think the place of the Gazette will be
exacty filled soon. That would indeed be hard to
do A better worse may stand in its shoes-but
the same never again. Tomorrow, reader you will
find US neither more nor less than what we were

the DAILY KENTUcKIAN, strange journal on
our table, and then the mystery was explained
and a happy revusion took place in our
breast. We hail the union of the Marshalls
