ins business. There are many newspaper
publishers who just exc out an cxistancc for
4 few months OF years, and then are obliged
to" suspend" The evil is not alone in Yer
mont, for we see by our exchanges that the
st. Louis HaHy Mteliiyencer has been united
with the ErHiny Nc;cs of the same city. The
three Republican papers in Dubuque, Iowa,
arc to be formed into one. The Republican
and Why, at Quincy, ILL.,, were also to be
joined III one, and the ST. Paul Times and
.Ninncsofiuu arc likely to follow suit soon.
In Philadelphia, the Times and Sun have
been merged in ono paper.
