Mr. and Mrs. BIoomsr arrived in our city
on Sunday evening last, both, We believe
in good health. They have concluded to
make our infant prairie city their future
home, having already secured an interest in
property here.
We heartily welcome our new friends to
our pleasant western borders and trust their
new home may be a happy one and their
success in pecanisry matters may be all that
they could desire.
The BLooniSG wild prairies we doubt not
will suit the sensitive and romantic taste of
one who has made herself so we'll known as
the founder O: the Blooner costume.
We have not yet had she pleasure ofmak-
ing the Acquaintance Of Mrs. Bloomer, but
6nd her hege an intelligent and agreeable

City Fathers,

There are n number of streets and al
leys that should at once be opened before
the ground is ploughed and gardens plan
ted. This should be attended to at once,
especially the continuation OF Madison
street northwsrd. No time should be lost
in having this opened. Then what a nice
dry time to repair the streets, Gil up the
holes, straighten the creek. and fix the
bridges. Come, come gents, call around

happy to see you a. that.

The balmy breath of spring has wooed us
from our cram2ed up LITERARY quarters, to
the hills and vallies of Elllsdale, where our
hands have been employed preparing for the
crops of vegetable aud grain, with which to
sustain OUR household. The temptation to
hide away from the hustle of the city is ir-
risistable aud we must be pordenod the fault.
Our spirit pines to trace unfettered, the
wild and enchanting scenery around and

forego the pleasure of serving ou: friendly
readers to our usual semi weekly dish, and
remove altoeether to where nature is spread
in all her luxurious loveliness, amid the hills
