Ten CENTS DAY.-kecp it before the
people, and let no man who earns his support
by his labor forget, that james Buchanan adj
vocated the reduction of wages in this country
to the same prices of the labor of the scrls of
Europe. which OIL an average is less than ten
cents day.
Ten cents dayi Think of that men ortoil:
think of it, that if reduced to the condition of
the poor laboprs Of Germany and France, as
Mr.. Buchanan said should be the case, you
would then be too poor to school your child
rcn-too poor TO take holiday-unable ever
to rise to Il condition of comfort and compare
tive wealth, as thousands on thousands Of
our mechanics, 10y industry and economy are
now able to do
Ten cents day! Down on all such old
f"gics as James Buchanan who thinks ten
cents a day enough for an American working
man.

TIE MAILS.

No mail has arrived in town during the
present week {; consequently we are COM
PEELED to put our paper to press without
any late news from abroad. The imbe-
cility and corruption of the mail service
and postoffice management of Iowa is per-
fectly intolerable. In the present in
stance, we know not whether the fault
lies with the carriers or postmasters, but
be that as it may, we call upon our post
master, and all other postmasters who lay
claim to respecrability, to be prompt and
efficient in giving notice to the Department
of Washington of such remissness-such
culpable neglect of duty, During our
short residence in St. Charles our own
business has suffered to the amount of
hundreds of dollars, through the mean
ness of certain postmasters. and We there
fore have cause to speak with feeling up.
on this subject. The Government COM
pels us to do our correspondence through
the mails, and imposes heavy penalties for
the private transportations of letters tho
people therefore have right to complain
of any remissness of duty on ihe part Of
government officials connected Herewith,
and to demand that the mail service shall
be executed with promptness and fidelity.
The people must guard their own interests.
1t is impossible for the Government to
understand all the difficulties under which
We labor. unless notified of them. We
therefore deem it the duty cfall good citi-
zens to keep the General Postoffice fully
and promptly advised of cases of corrup-
tisn, carelessness or remissness of duty of
any kind connected with the postofice
and mail service, and trust they will not
fail to do so.-& Charles INTEL.

accordance with that sound aud safe sys-
tenn which has been adopted, to wit: Of
pot incurring any new liability until their
present engagements are fulfilled.
Having thus briefly given the facts as
to the Southern Wisconsin portion Of the
NJ. and NJ. road, shall only add few
further considerations with reference to
the value of this enterprise to the NJ. and
NJ. railroad. In the first place, by build
ing from GAINESVILLE to point IS miles
west of Monroe, or distance of only as
miles in all, the NJ. and M. company re-
ceives the business from Dubuque and
Galcna, in the one case over 81 and in
the other over 80 miles of railroad on to
60 of its main line, from Milton to Mil
waukee, and in fact completes, by simply
building 46 miles of road, 167 miles,
Indeed, l have no hesitation in giving it
as my opinion, that this enterprise will
be the most profitable portion Of the M.
and NJ. railroad.
Very respt'y, your ob't scrv't,

fever
Sajew resolutely applied his skill, while
Romanow and Lomineff drew back with
their loaded rifles. Sejew had made bu,
six or eight strokes against the tree, when
it began to creak and rustic above, and the
beast was seen hastily sliding down back.
wards, clasping the trunk in his powerful
fore paws. .....
Sajew escaped in time, and, while he
was seizing his lance and flint, Romanow
and Lomineff shot at the bear. But their
fire did not mortally wound the animal,
and rendered him only more furious
The resolute men now took their lances, in
the use of which weapon, Lomineff, the
pilot, was we'll practised. He let the bear
run at Romanow, and then thrust the
weapon with such force and precision into
the soft part of the left shoulder blade,
that he was struck down as by lightning,
and expired on the spot.
A dreadful victory! The distressed
men now turned to their poor friend, who
was writhing upon the ground, in excru-
ciating pain. The sledge was soon
brought. They threw the dead bear upon
it, and so placed it that its soft warm body
might serve as couch for the wounded
Stroganow. Then collecting their arms,
they set out for home. But, not thous.
and PAGES from the spot, our poor hunters
had occasion bitterly to lament that in the
confusion they had forgotten to reload
their rifles. A troop of wolves here rush
ed out of the wood, and attacked them
fiercely. The exiles thrust at them with
their lances, and strove to defend them
selves with the energy Of despair when,
happily, Golowin remembered that his
rifle was loaded. He drew it forth, point
ed it at the thickest body: of wolves, and
fired. AS soon as the shot was heard,
the beasts turned round. and, with the
utmost haste, rushed into the thicket,
leaving one dead and several wounded.
They reached home without further
danger, but poor Stroganow was so severly
injured by his fall that he died the same
night.
