Mr.. Sanders, Of the Davenport Gazette,
will not probably thank us for informing him
that the substitution of the Banner for the
Gazette" in the notice Of improvements :
last week, was altogether unintentional, and
moreover, that the notice was not written
by DR.. Waters uscatine Eng.
1t won't do. That irresponsible concern
won't give Us the benefit Of typographical
error in single figure, SO we can't allow il
as much FOR a whole word. DIR. Waters de-
serves our notice anyhow, for having ever
acted in the capacity of covert editor to such
'smasheen.''

Unnecessary Delay,

An exchange says, that the trains OF
the Southern Michigan Railroad, from
the lightning train down to the freight, now
stop at every Railroad crossing on their
route until a man has gone to the junction
and signaled that all is right. What use
less waste of time, Why not have sigma

admirable management OF the Hudson River
