Spring. commutes his punishment, which is at all
likely His parents and friends among most re.
spectacle citizens and have sympahies the whole
community. Peters heart continues like adamant-a and
without something happens soften it. and show more
signs Of penence than he has yet exhibited his life will
certainly be forfeited.
Old ale continues hourishing condition as ever
the catalogue shows. The venerable President is as
popular and the ofessors numerous and ex
perienced than usua and the number Of students great
er than formerly.
Manufacturing continues TO go ahead, and there is
probably more than Sl5000O capital invested
in manufactures than year ago New factories are 90
ing up constantly, and companies are forming al.
most every week, and this think accounts for the ra.

Spectators seem to be doing little in their line
here well as in other places, though their operations

Port The appointment dissatisfied large portion of
he democracy here and the was that about
thee-odrths OF the party absened themselves from the
Polls at the election when followed alter They
continue a. unreconcied as al first and probably will
remain SO during Nh. Polk's administration

occasion ever TO remember him at the ballot box
one or two oil the best and most popular men in the
democratic party took occasion to write Mr. Walker
letters about the appointment of Mr. Wilcox Collector

causing them to be considered, sends them on to MIR
wilcox to let him know who working against
him Some OF the party ready tear him to pieces
