LOCAL MATTERS.
WILD GIEsl FILING 1aeA THE Souri,
Our attention was called. early on Saturday
morning, TO . great commoion in the at
mosphers above Us. Looking upward we
saw three 6ocks Of wild geese winging their
wsy steadily into the northwest, each sec.
ton being under the direction Of leadsr
and Oil the subordin ates keeping 6le. They
were sustaining : rambling talk, Of which,
on account Of coming half mile through
the cir. We could only catch a portion

when nobody lived hers-and, as sure as
hsvs the eye sight Of goose, there 10 my
old friend Antoine LeClairs--he thought he
had me once for his dinner, but got away
from him-I'll tell you the story when we
get north-but how fat he is-hs could
hardly catch goossy now-ha. he! hap
And THE whole concern, a. in duty bound,
laughed in chorus, and gave . wheel to have
4 better view Of our esteemed fellow citizen,
Who, We presume, was at that moment tax
ing morning walk round bic mansion.
Az We heard them say nothing about dy-
ing from oppression, il il fair to infer that
they are on some private expedition--it
may b for the purpose Of seeking out and
getting aboard Of that comet, previous to
its dashing into one Of our oceans and form.

way which We heard advanced lately in re-
lation to North America, and, as account.

SATURDAYS FREAKs.--Decidedly April
like again--a mixture Of sunshine and
clouds, wind and rain. The latter, howev.
or, occurred in the afternoon and seemed
especially intended to give the dust warn.

Just enough was dropped to make the jubi-
! ant particles as mute as mice We have
no objections TO this course OF proceedings,
provided the clouds do not sp.,efully fvod
our thoroughtares and get up more speci-
mems of mud We want little time for
macadamizing SO that the tendency to ad
hesiseness may be overcome. The fec, Of
having to record no snow, ncourages us to
believe, that grass may as well come out
and Prim.roses and violets begin to assume
their peculiarly attractive garhs. The drops
Of rain will do them no harm--but, fakes
OF snow are very chlliag to our hrst ap-
pearing modest little friends.
Qua TuRx MKT. - Our venerable
friend has hoped upon his colleague of the
Ne,0s AFTER having disposed ofthe New York
Press. The Neos is nothing in the estima-
ton of the Democrat. The News is not
even member of the Democratic family
How unhappy the News must feel! We
presume that the harmonious Democracy
will be in stir directly-that YoungAmer-
ica will hardly stand the dic,ation Of o.

sration, according to the estimate of the
bsardless ones, to occupy apartments at

CoAcn FAc1oRY.-There is large stone
building In the course OF erection at tho
corner Of Harrison and Third streets. We

Anything which looks like manufacturing
We are always happy to record-because,
Ike Philadelphia, We are bound to be the
centre Of 9 business OF that character
whatevel Use may flow in. Coal in profs-
siop, oil around US, will make jets Of steam
more numerous. We are already far ahead
Of our slater cities in Iowa in this psrsleu-
l.r--and, no community ID more prosperous
than that which depends upon labor for its

stand the reverses of fortune.

some kind friend for a map OF an ADDITION

We are sensible Of the honor did US BY
our friends there in calling prominent
street Of that thriving young city AFTER our
name. Al this 10 the second town among
the mos, prominent ones Of the West that
has recently done the same, we feel the
"erowing honors cr0wding thick upon u.s.
