STEUBENvnLB HERALD.-This paper
pFesentsa very fine appearance in its last
few issues, since the Herald office has been
replenished by the accession of new and
tastefully selected type. The propr-
etor, Mr.. ALLISON, is entitled to great cred
it for his perseverng industry in providing
the ways and means for the publication of
a handsome journals, and Mr.. CAMPBELL
the gentlemanly Foreman-is worthy of
high commentator for his mechanical skill
and careful attention TO his branch of the
business. We are inclined to the opin-
ion that better Foreman cannot
be found in the State. If the editorial
department should keep pace with the me-
chanical improvement, the Herald is des-
tined to become one of the most popular
papers in the west.
