friends of the Baptist Church and Society Of ST.
Paul, are to have new pastor, the Rev. I. X.
Cressey, late of Columbus, Ohio. He may be
expected here the present month. Mr.. c. is said

ties that will here devolve upon him. The Gin

"Bro,her Cressey came FIRST west TO Columbus
in this state, where he labored seven and half
years, and succeeded in establishing a vgorous
Church IN that city. His works do follow him

First Church in this city. Then, served one and
a half year as agent of the American and For
eign Bible Society. Then, subsequently to the
present time, for six years. has been The efficient
pastor Of the Church in Indianapolis. Under his
labors there, vigorous Church has thrvei, which
has, within the las. year, finished one of the finest
meeting house structures in that capital city. In
the important relation, in which he stood to the
domestic mission organization, well as TO all
other enterprises of our brethren in that State, his
lahors have been deeply felt, and in that aspect,
his loss will be 4 very serious oue."
| s. B. SAINT PAuL--The GaIena Advertiser
Of last Friday, says Of this unrvalled boat: "The
SAINT Paul arrived yesterday at AS, from Saint
Paul, having made the run up and back in a trIile
over two days and sixteen hours" The River
Times, new paper published at La Crosse Wis
consin, says:-''The Cope is probably the fastest
/ boat on the upper Mississippi, having run around
the new steamer Saint Paul, on her first trip
Now we are no partizan of any particular steam
boats and have nothing to say about the ''prob-
ability" Of one boat being faster than another
but when it comes TO making statements, that af-
feet the reputation Of boats and the interest OF
propretors, as facts, the Times will do well to
state things truly, upon proper evidence. Now

Times was certainly niisiniormed and ought 10

! Roc x-IsLANp.--There are more cripples in
Roc, Island than any where else; many, that
liinpms is fashionable there. 1t seems rather
paradoxcal that TO run well for office. candidate
should be lame. If limping is really quaGca
ton for Office, Rock Island ought to ill half the
offices in Illinois
SALE OF THE DocroR FRANKLIN, No. 9.
The ''No. Two is sold to Messrs. Brock and
Levins Of Duhuque, and vii! continue to run in
the same trade as heretofore. Capt Harris de-
livered her up last Friday. Capt. Z. Brock COM
inanls her in future.
DRAMAr1c.-Therc is an excellent dramatic
company in Galena. They will probably be here
for week or two, early in June.
CHoLERA.-When man Of some note,
browns himself in of whiskey and dies a
drunharl, how common it is to say, 'spoor fellow !
the cholera took hn.'' Of course When he
got drunk, he was 'excited;' when he had de-
lirlum tremens, he was son train" and when
he died, alas. ''the cholera took him OFF,
IuE RivER.--Minnesota the treaties, Cal
itoruia, the Maine Liquor Law. The tele-
graph and the newspapers, now make. the
same topics Of discussion universal, at the
same time, wherever the English language
is spoken. The presidency and kossu,h,
and Jenny Lind, are not now much taIlsed
Of Oar people require fresh topic every
few days.
MORALS OF THE UPPER MISSISSIPPI
We have more morals than law. Our peo-
pie have q pride in maintaining order and
public decency, or there would be very lit
tie of either. People regard it as sort Of
contempt of their own sovereignty, to tram
pie on laws of their own enactment. Moth
ing else affords so much security as this, for
the enjoyment Of regulated liberty. Ja!s,
prisons. letters, and nothing rs potent, as
sound public opinion, freely expressed.
TIE CArIroL.--Thc people of this Ter
ritory would like to know what probability
there is, now after three years, and after
having $50, 600 80 long OH hand for the pur-
pose, that buI1ing will be erected for the
Legislature TO meet iu ? There lcas $50, .
coo; where is it? There trus large quantity
Of pine lumber, purchased ard piled Up to
season, for the Capitol; where is il: There
~as some stir preparation, last season for
laying The foundation for the Capitol but
now, all is solitary there, as the ruins Of
Babel. Where is the fund and here is
the Capitol? Echo answers only-tol-toi!
SECRET SocIETIEs.-Louis Napoleon is
trying to suppress al! Secret Societies in
France. Impossible. The 1901 is capable
of deposing the tyrant in week.
Sun PAIHrIHGs.- Iieser, the celebrated
daguerreotyp in Gaena, makes likeness
es so natural, that they suit in every case;
but more especially in n ten dollar case.
BEOs ON STEAMBoATs.--One of the first
reforms needed on steamboats, in the west,
is good comfortable beds, with so much
clothing til t you do not have to spread
newspaper over you at night, to prevent
freezing. Why should boat spread an
extra table and fine carpats, and then send a
poor fellow to hard straw maitrass, to
shver all night and take severe cold, IN
der dirty sheet and narrow comforter!
