EY-We extract the following article
from a San Francisco paper ofthe 10Th of
December, 1855, for the benefit Of the nu-
merous friends Of our late fellow-citizen
SAMUEL Grim. We also learn that Mr..
Grim has concluded TO make San Francis
co his permanent residence.
The Omnibus LINEs.-Mr. Bowman has
disposed of his interest in the various ON
nibus routes of Grim &Bowman,t to Messrs.
Joseph Beach and Garener. The purcha-
sers are e%nterprising young men, favorably
known in the community, and Of excellent
business habits. With Mr.. Grim at it's
head, we doubt not the lines will main
tain its former popularity. The firm will
be Grim Il Co. after the lst of January
Tho price paid, we understand, was from
forty to fifty thousand dollars.

Cnnnti ~InfirmnrY.

We refer our readers to tho communi-
cation Of our City Physicians to the Coun-
~ Commissioners, published upon our
first page to-day. We are satisfied, from
the representations of those who ought to
know better than %ourself, that something
in the way Of a new building. or repairs to
the old one, should be dono by the county,
for the proper maintenance Of the paupers
who have been detailed upon us. 1t will
be rocollected, that during the canvass las.
fall, we condemned inunmeasured terms, the
building Of n twenty five thousand dollar
palace, rs then conlemplated;--we do SO
yet, and call upon our taxpayers to SEQ
that there be no extravaganza Of their
funds in erecting a new building, or max
ing tho necessary repairs to the old ono.
Tho Auditor states that the county now
pays some $4,000 annually for the main
t%ainance of paupers who cannot be accom-.
modated at tho Infrmary, simply for the
want Of sufficient room. If this be the
case, something ought to be done, howev-
or onorous II taxes may be for the next
few years. We hope that whatever action
the Commissioners may take in the prom
ises, will be fully matured by the Board,
with a strict eye to economy. We may
have more to say on this subject in u lu-
ture number.

]. II. BAKER, Sec.

Re 1t will be observed that Meta Vic
toria Fuller, of Lancaster, Ohio. was G.
iected Poet OF the Editorial Association for
next year. This selection may b. consid-
cred a little unu, ual, but in these days of
female authorship, editors are evidently
inclined to be liberal and progressive. Ii
was not the sentiment in the Convention
that Miss Fullet's appearance as a reader
in the next Convention should be expected,
but that she or her friends might select an
individual to present the poem she should
write State JOurnai.
We must beg leave to differ with the
journal that it "was not the sentiment of the
Convention that Miss FULLER's appearance
rs a reader in the next Convention should
be expected" On the contrary it was an
nounced by a gentleman intimately ac-
quainted with Miss Fuller that she is now
connected with the Press, both as editor
and contributor, and that if elected Poet,
she would not only write one but rea! it,
There are many ladies' in Ohio who are
connected with the Press as editors and
contributors, and we must confess we can
see no good reason why they should not
participate in tho Conventions exercises.
We therefore hope That Miss Fuller will
not only consent to write, but 10 read her
Poem. 1t would certainly lend additional
attraction to the Convention and its pro-
ceedinos.
