I'VE have q particular contract with the
Egent at Rock Island to receive daily re-

Last evening, We received letter
from subscriber TO the weekly Gazette at
Lyons requesting us to change it to the dali
aud another from u subscriber to the dai.
" Gazette at De Witt desiring US to alter
his subscription TO the weekly. In the one
case daily mail 10 about to be established,
10 the other tri.weekl ~ mail has been snb-
''i'u'ed for daily. We hope the daily
mail to De Witt may soon again be resum-
3D. F" we ought to have mails daily to all Of
these important towns. In the meantime,
we would inform our subscribers and those
who desire to become such at these and
other towns in Central Iowa, that we shall
shortly issue tri.weekly Gazette. which
will exactly conform to their present mail
arrangements.
There were four butchers in the up
per market yesterday morning. but meats
fa'ed AZ the same cxtravagant prices. We
trust q little competition will bring them
down to living rates.
