operation will save the Government the

is no branch of the government, that
needs men ofcapaci'y. promptness, and
close business habits SO much as that Of

try, business, social and otherwise, calls
for efficiency and promptness--and the
want Of these qualities, in the head or

felt. We like the way the new post

STEAM FERRY.-A very snug little
steam Ferry.bou, passed up the river
the other day, destined for Lexington,
we understand. Seeing this boat, and
hearing some rCalifosnia emigranis
complaining ofEihe slow Process of get
ting across the river here by hand-boats,
suggests The importancesof steam fer
ry boa, for this place. 1t is a well
known fact that many wagons have
passed up on this side Of the river, for
no other reason than the difficulty of
getting across. Such Ferry would
pay well here at all ,imes--but psr,ic-
ularly this season, il would have been
a very profitable business. What say
our business men TO having good steam
ferry boat? 1t would cause thousands
Of money to be spent here, where only
hundreds are spent now.
We hope to see this subjec, ngi'ated,

A TERRIBLE ArrLIcrIoN.-Mr. Richard
Niosher, of Dutchess county, N. Y, has been
confined to his bed for twenty-five years, a
victim to disease and intense suffering, The
n. Y. Sun says. s-r
During the first year after his attack, his
knees were dislocated and ossified, and sub
sequenty other joints in his lower limbs were
drawn asunder and ossiiied. Two years after
these disastrous affections his pains became
less acute, and being naturally industrious
and ingenious he commenced making shoes,
whips, and such other articles as ne could
while laying in bed. He thus helped to
maintain himself, and for eleven years he
continued to work until his arms were dislo.
Gated and became ossifed For the last
eleven years he has been unable 10 help him
self in the least. His jaws were set some
years since, and his teeth have been broken
out, that food might be placed in his mouth.
The only joints, which he is now able to
move, are the extremes of his index fingers
and one or two joints in his toes.
