termination of the officers and owners to
do everything in their power to please the
public. We regret to learn that the
health of Capt. Lodwick is still SO poor
that he is unable to take command of his
boat. Meantime, his brother has charge
of the magnificent Ben, and does things
up to the entire satisfaction of the travel
ing public. That staunch old favorite,
the Nominee, had a full trip up this week.
Among her passengers were our fellow
citizen, Rev. Mr.. Hobart, who has been
absent since April, Mr.. Mix, Mail Agent,
and Mr.. Huntington, of the Galena Ad-
vertiser.

Our Quincy contemporary mistakes us.
We didn't wish at all to detract from the
merits Of editors at other points, by speak
ing well of our neighbors at Burlington,
with whom we happen to be acquainted
while those at Quincy are entire strangers
to us. The rapid growth and Importance

spared, we will, some time or other, drop
in upon the Herald man TO thank him in
person for his voluntary compliment.
THE WEST NEwToS.-This favorite
little boat is taking things through from
the word CO., making scmi-weekly trips
from Galena TO St. Paul, while the oppo-
siton boats make but weekly trips. Com

the same with freights. The West New
ton has become quite popular under the
command of Capt. Harris, and is doing
a large, if not profitable business. We
learn that Capt Harris designs relinquish-

Capt. Morrison fully sustains his rep
utation upon the Newton, as an efficient,
polite and attentive commander. He
keeps the little clipper moving, and no
mistake. Last Saturday evening, she re-
ported herself at our landing in Miriy-iwo
hours, thirty minutes from Galena, which
is the quickest trip ever made. She was
not trying to make quick trip, but atten-
ded to all her business along the way as
usual. Upon COOL stage of water we
think she can come up in twenty eight or
thirty hours with ease. She was UP again
by sunrise on Wednesday morning, hav-
ing left Galena at eleven o'clock OH Mon
day, and called at Saltwater previous to
coming here.
NoRrHERN TouRs.-A large party of
ladies and gentlemen will go up to-day Oh
the Nominee, for the recreation and pleas
ure of a ride on the Mississippi. These
parties are getting to be much in vogue,
and we expect to see the time when St.
Paul, ST. Anthony, and other celebrities
that are yet TO be discovered in the wide
range Of territory i'll the Northwest. will
be resorted to by the people along the
Lower Mississippi in vast numbers
that St. Anthony will be sought as Nj

That's right; and we are thankful to
our Galena friends for SO often telling the
world at large, that this IS comfortable
and pleasant place TO spend the hot months.
All we want is more hotel room, and that
will soon be obviated, as we learn that
