After dinner we proceeded onward ourself, in
company with J. }. Coddngton, our late efficient
postmaster, Charles Henry Hall, Esq, Mr. Baldwin,
member OF Assembly, and Mr.. Starkweather, one
OF our active city merchants. We followed up the
valley to the east OF the road, towards Chatham

towards Its construction, and finally abandoned
on the survey OF the line selected by the CON-
Panyy,, which from Hillsdale is known as 4" Bloom

CAPITAL SHAvING.-Thurlow Weed is improving.
We begin to like the fellow. The way he fathers
and shaves Noah is cautont to old boards and long
consciences Thurlow almost equals Jim Grant,
our blessed barber who does business at No. or
3, IN Ann street. He says Noah is an "old drivel-
ler," and "plays second fiddle' in my band This
last is incorrect. Noah has not wind enough in his
bags to play in our band. He is only fit to set up
and blow an old horn to an old clothes party-to a
batch of Office beggars, whom he calls the demo
cratic administration party"-gad a. mercy
Noah has turned every side and all sdes in his day

Connecticut to July 25. OF
Wisconsin to July Is. .......... l65
Maryland to August /. Observation-Disclosures. ga

Northern District of New York to July Is. .2435
Southern do do 27la27
These facts lead to curious conclusions 1t appears
that bankruptcy in Western and Northern New
York is double that in the city and river counties
This result has arisen from the bad systems of COM
merce, trade, and banking, which prevail in Western
New York, from Utica out to Buffalo There is
hardly town there of any magnitude that has not
been furnished with victims-but the greatest suf-
ferers have been the armers and me chanics Take
