Ey On visiting the To'tdo Blade editorial
room, few days since, we were agr eably
surprised to meet our young friend, GEORGE
TRUE, who is connected with the editorial
management Of that sheet Mr.. T. is a fine
writer, and ranks high among the young men
of literary promise in the West. No better
fellow ever drove a quill. The Blaie, with
its present editorial talent, must acquire an
unusual degree of popularity

Certainly this is sober place, and there

citizens taste, touch, or handle the unclean

puts the wheels to their metal. The Chase
is great institution, and is bound to do {
prosperous business during the season.
