and family left yesterday on the Northern

expect to be absent at least one year. In
seeing the Colonel depart from us for so long

st. Paul in vain to find one who will accom-
plish SO much in public enterprises the next
year as he has during the last, and to find
family who will fill the void in society crea-

prosperous voyages; happy times in the Old
World, and speedy return to the only
place on earth fit to live for-Home!

him stand up in support Of the truth of what
he said on the floor of the House, and stand
forth in defense of it, if murderously attack

be made--on the foor-in the District-in
Canada, or elsewhere. This is the "Code %

a final condition that Mr., Brooks should 60

returned by the Northern Belle in good health
after an absence of over two months at the

to forward the local interests of Minnesota

Railroad men of the Union. The Governor,
of course, is warmly welcomed home by all

E The New York Tribune learns that
the Express safe'on the New York and Erie
Railroad train one day last week, was open
ed by some thief, on its way to that city, and
robbed of all its contents. As the way bill
was also taken, the amount of the loss has
not yet been ascertained, but it is probably
some $4,000. The Erie R. R. Co. have no
connection with this loss, as their express
does not carry money or valuables.
