Mr.. EDITOR These are though times" for
you journalists, very. 1 sympathize with you.'
It was only this morning that cursed every
Daily Leoald lay my hands on, because it was
so barren Of everything interesting. 1t seemed
to me that could sit down, and in half an
hour think up whole budget of news 30
tried it. l set" for forty minutes and Matched
one item. 1t was about coat of arms upon
a house - large brick house - in jackson
street. Perhaps everybody hasn't noticed it.
1t is done on tin. The design is a fat Z" beef
critter." 1t is very suggestive. The builder,
probably, was butcher, who, having made
his fortune, has the good sense not to be
ashamed of the business which enriched him.
1 can't help honoring the man - though ST..
Paul beef steaks are not always as tender as
they should be. And, speaking of beef steaks,
are they not rather scarce in the city just now !?
I sent to market for one yesterday and got the
hind part Of the hind quarter of what looked,
felt, smelt and tasted as though it once wore
bristles. 1t did, indeed. thought it was hog
think so still.
Well couldn't think of another item OF
any general Importance, and then began to
sympathize with editors. 1t wouldn't do to
perpetrate hoax, would it ito get up reg
ular systematic account of something awfully
exciting to everybody, with letters and afida-
Wits attached, and publish it as thesolemn truth
If it would do, think it better be done at
once. What buzz might be created! The
time to the opening of navigation would not
seem half so long, and it is getting to be very
tiresome work waiting tor boat--more espe-
cally since the ice continues to rather strength
en- than otherwise. All! I've got it now, Mr..
Editor. A big lank hog with fierce looking
bristles, followed by "squealing progeny
just passed my window in search of what it
might devour. Now let that hog eat some
body's beautiful baby all up! Give the whole
particulars, infinitely. 1t will be too probable
story at the worst, and by anticipating the
catastrophe, somebody's baby may be timely
rescued. Those savage gristly monsters, that
now monopolize some and make free in all parts
Of the city, may possibly be penned - as they
ought to be. 1t is, actually, Mr.. Editor, one
reason why don't get married II am afraid
that if should, my baby would get devoured
by great swine; for I notice at my boarding
house there is troop of grunters prying round
after Stops whenever l go to my meals, and
sometimes, when door is left open, they bolt
into the house even. It's very bad. There
are perils enough environing bachelors way
to matrimony without hogs, and as bachelors
don't have to keep such animals, do thinl
married men ought to obviate any such diff
culty-especially when it is one which will Al
once occur to any person of afectionate dispo
sition. None but the thoughtless and heart
less will marry during the present state of Of
fairs, am certain.
If anything new should happen within my
jurisdiction, Mr.. Editor will Immediately le
you know all about it, and thus show sym
pathy" which doesn't end in

The Democratic Nominations.

The nominations made at the primary
meetings Of the democracy in the several
wards on the evening of the 29th inst,
will be found under the editorial head
Apart from the fact that they are demo-
cratic nominations. they are such as are
elninently ''6t to be made" The men Sc
lected for aldermen, are intelligent, enter
prising, good citizens and good democrats.
Let them receive the undivided support Of
the party, The proceedings at the primary
meetings will be found elsewhere.
We omit the name of LEWIS KREIGER,
Esq. from the list of Democratic nomi.
nees for Alderman in the first ward This
gentleman informs US that be is not dem
ocrat in a party sense; but always acts and
votes irrespective of party nominations;
that he was nominated without his knowl
edge or consent; and that he is unwilling
to have his name used under the circum
stances We think he is entitled to be
excused" and therefore drop his name.
We notice, also, that WV. BRANCH, was
elected delegate from the LIST ward to
the city nominating convention. This gen
tleman informs US that he is an out-and-out
wing, and being so, will not, of course
serve in democratic convention. There
must have been an unaccountable oblivion
of memory or sense. somewhere in that
primary meeting, which, we respectfully
submit, the Democracy should not be

convey by these hints, the nomination of
Mr.. TERRY as Alderman. He is a thor
ough Democrat, and in every way worthy,
qualified, and entitled to the support of the

The news is highly important.
Business was entirely Frustrated by the sus-
pension of FIVE banking houses ~
The news of Page & Bacon's difficulties was
received at San Francisco on the 7th, causing
q great run on that house They met the run
and paid 100000. A meeting of merchants
and bankers who declared the ho use sound re.
stored confidence, and afterwards matters SEEM

ever, Page, Bacon & Co. suspended, followed
on the 23d by Adams & Co., Wells, Fargo &
Co., Robinson & Co. and Wright's Miners

closed all their branches without paying dol
lar except in San Francisco, where on the 22d

Page, Bacon & CO. would probably resume
in few days, depositors having granted them
