STEAMROATS.

We observe by the Portsmouth papers, that there
is quite an excitement in that town, in regard to the
placing another boat upon the Cincinnati Trade
We do not agree, altogether, with Some folks" about
this matter, us we think that Opposition is the spice
Of business" and as the Steamer "Danel Boon"
carries passengers anu freight at little less price
than some other boats, we are Of opinion that she
holds big claim upon the public, for at least share
Of patronage. "Every body" endeavors to get along
through this world with aS little expense as possible
and we believe in every man looking to his own in
forest; Il he does not there is no one that will vol.
unteer to sec after it for him. but WILL skin him alive
II an opportunity shows Itself We go in for cheap
and expeditions travel and freghts, aud as soon as
our Railroad is completed to Hillsborough, then the
Steamboats, may 80 to "Dayy Jones Locker, or some
other sea port.
We have just learned that the river hos closed up
with ice, when it is hoped the steamboat excitement
will get cooled off little. What an abomination
Is that Ice and Dry Weather. Hurruh for the Bull
iine!!

PRELATBs WHO HAVE RETIRED FROM
OFFIcE.-Under this head the MetropOli-
tan Catholic almanac for 1856, contains
the following list:
The Right Rev. Fredrick Reze, Bish.
op of Detrit, consecarated Oct. 6, 1888.
The Right Rev. Celestine de la Hail
andiere, second Bishop of Vincennes,
concecrated August l8, 1899.
The Right Rev. Guy Ignatius Chab'
rat, late Coadjutor Of Louisville, KY, con.
secrated July 20, 1884
What has occasioned the retiring Of
these Bishops9 If we mistake not, this
requirement has been compulsory. Bish.
Reze, il is we'll known, is a citizen OF
Michigan, and is in confinement in some
dungeon in Rome. Although the United
States Congress has called for his release,
he is still imprisoned. The old settlers
Of Detroit, who knew the man, have peli'
TONED in vain for his release. The Pa
pal authorities at Rome have invariably
turned deaf ear to all such requests,
whether they came form the U. S. repre-
sentative at Rome, or from our citizens.

An application will be made to the Probate Court
Of Ia sitting on Monday next, for the election Of a
third Justice Of the Peace, for this township and in

the case that the acting Justice is called away upon

nice little parlor, tete-a-tete with four intelligent
young ladies. The whole exhibition reflects great
credit upon both Teacher and Scholars.

Rich Tinae Coming,

We find in the papers litter from
"Mrs. Sarah Young" one of the thirty
wives Of Gov. Brigham Young, OF Utah,
chief high priest of Mormonism, &c.,
who, it seems, has just broke loose from
the bed and board Of her loving spouse.
She writes from Chicago, under date OF
Jan. 16. 10 the editor Of the Boston Daily
Times, announcing her intention 10 reveal
to vulgar eyes the secret practices of the
Mormon tribe. The public is informed
that it is her intention TO travel through
the United States and lecture on Nor
monism, warning the young and unsus-
pecting TO beware of the ungodly trap
adding, "for what don't know about
Mormonism is not worth knowing"
Mrs. Young has been in the family
(wife would be a misnomer)-of the
Prophet, Tor the last three years. She
was formerly from Boston, and intends
delivering her first lecture in that city,
Her labors in unmasking Mormanism,
for Mrs. Young says 'they have secret
plots and objects, will be shared by a
Miss Eliza Williams, who has been a
resident in the Salt Lake Valley. The
editor OF the Times, in acknowledging the
letter of Mrs. Young, says it came to him
through responsible source. So we may
look out for rich time when the good
women, who "have been the victims oI
Mormonism," shall enter upou their mis-.

"As to what it costs to dress a lady,
nowadays, (your question: different
persons would answer very differently
| should think the least, for the mere dress
of one who goes out great deal, might
be thousand dollars a year, and that
spent very carefully.
"Two thousand is nearer the average,
probably. though this is without including
furs and jewelry. Russian sables and
diamonds are bought, of course, but once
in a lifetime, and yet there are other
adornments upon which a woman who
dresses at all thoughtlessly may easily
spend three or four thousand"
