The TYroGxAPBlcAL CoRPs.

To give our reporter an idea Of the effi-
cheney Of this corps, the editor mentioned
the astounding fact that they had, in the in
credible space of two days, hours and 81 ]
minutes, been able to set up and put to
press full one-half of President Buchanan's
late message, and in two days more, had the
limits of the paper permitted, would have
been able to put the whole of that stupen-
dous document in print. This achievement
it was further mentioned, was accomplished
while the Office was overrun with job work,
having 800 programmes to print erery day
for theatrical corps in the city. an amount
Of labor nothing short of the "Power
Press" would have enabled the establish
ment to compass. The mention of the

OUR NEWYEAR PICTORIAL

The admirable esprit du corps manifested
BY the editors Of the Ottawa Republican in
giving our new building and the post office
on the corner of Madison and Columbus
sts such very generous, gentiemanly,
truthful, and frst-rate notice in their last
sheet placed us under such heavy ObliGa-
tons. that we could devise no other way to
relieve ourselves of the mountainous weight,
than to reciprocate the favor. This Obliga-
tion became the more onerous, as we were
assured by that immaculate sheet that we
had received heavy bonus from the people
in the vicinity of the new post office,-a
most gratifying piece IF information, as we
had hitherto had no knowledge or intima-
ton Of the fact, and as, in these tight times,
such a bonus would be most timely con-
venience and very gratefully accepted
Having, however, after the most diliGent
search, been unable TO ascertain the name OF
. single individual who has contributed or
promised to contribute towards making up
this bonus, we are constrained to offer the
yeracious editors of the sheet aforesaid a re-
ward Of so cts. on the dollar Of :he whole
amount of the said bonus, if they will re-
veal to Us the names Of the contributors, or
establish the fact that such bonus was
made up. OF course men possessing such
refined sense Of honor and the little decen-
cies Of life will not for moment rest under
the brand of malicious falsehood, but will
proceed with alacrity to retrieve their honor
and replenish their own and our purse by
establishing the fact of this J0Hus.
Taking it for granted, then, that this DO
nus will be Forthcoming, and in view of the
"first-rate notice" already referred to, in
our desire to reciprocate such kindness, the
great question presented itself how to do
this in a suitable manner The thought
struck US, and we ct once resolved to act
upon il, that to do the thing " handsome"
we must prepare in return first-rate notice
OF our neighbors' great "Power Press"
printing establishment, the fame whereof
has for a month or two so loudly resounded
throughout this extensive city and the re-
gions for mile or two round about 10 do
this in a manner to comport with the i'm
mensity of the subject, we at once hired
special reporter, first class drauGhtsman,
and the ablcst artist this side Of the Feeder.
This formidable corps being duly organized
and equipped, we despatched on the CRATE
full but laborious mission.
Proceeding at once up various flights OF
stairs, turning first TO the right, then to the
right again, then describing circle, then
turning to the left AMI opening the door, our
corps found themselves in the august pre-
sence Of the editors; of whom they forthwith
proceeded to take dasucrreotypes, which
our artist has succeeded with Incompatible
accuracy and skill, in transferring to the

The PHYSIOLOGICAL SuPrER.-We drop
ped in at chronological Hall on Thursday
evening, unfortunately too late to hear the
exercises Of the evening, among which was
an address by Prof. FYFE on the "Philoso.

by those that heard it. We were not too
late, however, for supper, Of which there
was a choice and very great abundance

crowded, we elderly people that don't in

at sober hour. The occasion seemed to be
one Of much enjoyment TO all parties in at

THE Boo- AND SHOE TRADE.-Timcs can
never be SO dull but that people must have
boots and shoes to wear; yet the money
pressure has certaily in this line Of trade
also brought down prices. At least we
found this to be the case on pricing some of
the finer wares of this sort at the establish
ment of Z. &. HALBERT, on Main ST., oppo-
side the Mansion House. Mr.. ii. has just
received a heavy new stock, and appears to
be doing very thriving business.

price ranges from to 10 cts. per b., the
higher figure being paid for the better dressed.
Many farmers miss it in this respect. Mr..
JOSEPH WATTS, for instance, has no difficulty
in selling his turkeys for 10 cts, because
they are so artistically dressed; while others,
from: their carelessness and bungling in this
respect, have trouble to get cents.

A CITIZEN OF OTTAWA RoBBED.-In the
Cincinnati Times we have an account of the
robbery in that city last week Of G. Ii.
Rugg, a highly respectable citizen Of this
city. Mr.. X. had been stepping at the
Spencer House in Cincinnati, left that house
on foot for the railroad depot. AS he was
crossing bridge, some person sprung upon
him. ani striking him with slung-shot,
fclled him to the ground. In his attempt
ing to rise, he was again set upon and beaten
until he became insensible. He was then
robbed Of $3.50. Upon reviving, Mr. Rugg
succeeded in making his way back TO the
Spencer House, although nearly exhausted
by the terrible beating and loss of blood
a few days previously a gentleman from
Louisville was set upon and beaten and
robbed at the same place.
