Hall. Such difficult pieces as the Stran-
ger, Lady of Lyons, &c., have been en-
acted to full and delighted audiences, and
with a precision throughout that renders
criticism entirely out of place here
Mrs. Langrishe is an actress in the higher
walks of the Drama, who would do cred
it to the /" leading business" upon any
boards in the country. The other ladies
are excellent in their respective spheres :;
and we can also say the gentlemen, one
and all, acquit themselves exceedingly
well. Messrs. Langrishe and Atwater
would pass for actors in any country.
PEsIGuAGoM1K.-We do not believe
there ever was invented, medicine equal
TO Chippewa medicine, of the above
name, for any summer complaint. 1t is
prepared solely by Mr.. Ely of ST. Paul !;
and may be bought at the book store of
LeDuc & Rohrer. 1t is very agreeable
medicine; being the extract of root,
prepared with syrup; and it will actually
put stop TO the disease.-Pioneer.
Having had recent occasion to test
the efficacy of this medicine in breaking
up a distressing disease, which had kept
us close company from the time we COM
menced imbibing the sand and mud of the
Missouri river, five or six weeks ago,
we can fully endorse the above. Only
three or four doses were required 10 cure
us thoroughly. 1t has operated with
like effect upon some of the printers in
our office.
The temperance people in Ma<sachu-
sets have had their hopes blasted by the
interference of the Locofoco Governor,
Boutwell,. Such things remind us Of
whisky politicians Of smaller calibre
nearer home. A late Geographic despatch
in our exchanges runs as follows:
BosroS, May 10, P. M.
The liquor bill was vetoed by the Gov
ernor. Great rejoicing on the part o.
the citizens; 500 guns are to be fired on
the occasion.
The following, from the St. Louis
News of the 2l>t, will be interesting to
our provision dealers. We presume the
estimates are very nearly correct:
STocK OF Pork, &c.-As the market
is again looking up, and the last advices
from New Orleans give information of an
advance there, it may not be out of place
TO give the probable stock now on hand
in this city and at points above. From
the best information, we do not think
there is to exceed 500 to 600 bblS. vet on
the Illinois, and probably not to exceed
1900 on II Upper Mississippi Or the
latter. about 1000 bbs. is still at Quincy.
and held by party there. The remain
ing 400 or 800 bbs. may be at Oquawka
and Hannibal we know of none at any
other points. The stock in this city en-
braces $500 to GOOO bbls.. about 5000 of
which is held by one party. who refuses
to sell mess at the present time for less
than SIG 50al6 IS. At this time las,
year the stock numbered over 10000
bblS., and it was then considered very
light. The stock of lard we think about
in proportion 10 that Of pork, but there is
more Of bacon, particularly OF shoulders
and hams, and the opinion now prevails
that there will be no very great scarcity
Of smoked meats after all. We have
heard the total stock of bacon estimated
by dealers to be $500 TO 5000 casks.
There is always scarcity of sacks
along the Upper Mississippi in the fell Of
the year, when grain and potatoes are
really for the market. Gunnes are quick
sale at high prices on such OCCASIONS
We have known them to sell here for Is
and 20 cents. There is chance now for
a speculation in this article, which at
present seems to be drug in all the
principal markets of the Union. The
last quotations in Boston were TAI 1-4c.
New Orleans I l-2 to &c., and 10000
new 2 l-2 bushels sold last week in ST.
Louis for &c., cash. This is the lowest
sale Tor many years. The stock is large,
with little or no demand.
"The bill to all Collins line of steam

the same day, in the House, the bill for
the completion of the public buildings in
Minnesota, was laid on the table,
The above is paragraph Of late news
from Washington. We are glad Mr..
Collins has succeeded. He is running
his steamers in opposition to what was
before he commenced fore On monopoly,
and as Americans we feel national
pride in his success. But the bill refer
