Cy We give the gratutous benefit Of our Cir

WAxTED-A HosTLER.-The subscriber wishes
to employ at his place at Gowanus, Long Island,
a first rate no tler, who has good experience in
runaway horses. None need apply who
has ever been in the State Prison or a member of
the New Jersey Legislature. G. H. Hendrckson.
ScoUNDRELs ExTRA.-Jeremiah Waddington,
one of the passengers saved from the Arctic, pri-
or to his leaving for Europe, left his property in
possession of two brothers, named Thomas and
Wm. Bottomly, and on his return to New York on
Friday night, he found that the two brothers had
sold out all his property, and ran off with the
amounting to near $1,000, leaving him
almost destitute, by the destruction of the Arc
tic, he lost upwards of $1,000. A warrant for
the arrest of the Bottomeys has been issued, and
some of the money recovered.-NeU HaUen PAIL
An INEVITABLE CoScLUsIoN.-Gov. Medill has
been down to cold Fa.rchild," stumpiny the
county and rallying the faithful. On the evening
of Tuesday, he was sitting withhis friends await
ing the returns from the various townships and

sad feelings of his heart

we're beat for the next ten years."
Then picking up his hat he mournfuly wander

Gy The Dubuque Herald and Express have
been united. The editors remarks might ap-
ply with force to the papers of St. Paul. lie
says:
We think in one point Of view positive bcne-
fit will have been conferred upon every business
man in Dubuque by the union of the Herald and
Express. Dubuque is altogether too small a
town to support we'll four daily papers and to
take four daily papers is alnoststoo much for
any business man and then to advertise in AL is
still another heavy tax. In this view of the sub
ject we believe We are conferrin. Il positive ad-
vantage on the City and citizens by uniting the
two Offices.
cT The steamer Wisconsin arrived from the
Upper Mississippi, on Monday night, bringing
down a barge loaded almost entirely with pota-
toes and wheat. As both these articles are scarce
in our market, and command good prices, farmers
will do well to send down all they can spare at
the present time.-St. Louis Herald. p :
For KASsAs.-C. H. Branscombe, ESQ.,. AGENT
of the Massachusetts Emigration Society," passed
through this city on Saturday with party of
tsro hundred and t,centy hardy New England en-
Igrants bound for Kansas. Success to them, and
may peace and prosperity be with them in their
efforts to defeat the schemes of corrupt dema-

Enough OF that sort of men in the southwest
