We think we can show how much cheaper
il is to take the Lady's Book at Three Dol
lars than any other magazine at Two Dollars.
We viii take a late number OF both. The
Two Dollar Magazine contained SO articles,
the Lady's Book 90.
The Two Dollar Magazine contained 81 en-
cravings, the Lady's Book 56.
The Two Dollar Magazine contained 81 pa
ges, the Lady's Book 100. .
Twenty-four more engravings, twenty-six
more articles, and thirty-six more pages,
nearly double the quantity. The lowest club
price of the Two Dollar Magazine is 81 % ;
lowest club price of Lady's Book $l,G7, only
AZ cents difference in the price, which is three
and a half cents on each number, and for that
sum (three and a half cents), you receive
twenty-six more articles, twenty-four more
engravings, ard t~hirty-six more pages month
ly-cerLainly a very cheap three and a half
cents worth. This view of the case has
probably never before been presented, but it is
a true statement, which any lady can con-
vince herself Of by comparing the two maya
zines.

sG1= For the last two or three weeks,
the readers Of the Gazette could find that
we were a little opposed to the manner
in which our Post-Ofice was conducted,
and in our last weeks issue we stated
that there were certain things expected,
and others not, which has raised the ire
of our very accommodating and honest (O
P. M. so much that he is inclined to live
for the future up to the very letter of the
delivery law, and has made it a rule to
require an order from every person who
wishes a friend to bring his mail for him
from hat Office, and has also been
charging the authorship of the last article
to certain friends of the Gazette. Now
as all the articles that have heretofore ap-
peared in the paper originated in the Off
ce, we are opposed to that official charging
them to our friends, as we consider our
selves perfectly responsible for all we
have heretofore said. On Tuesday last
we had the pleasure Of an interview with
the Deputy Postmaster (for we would
have the citizens of Bellevue understand
that there is such an officer), of this city,
who nobly came TO the rescue of that
worthy official, and said many nice things,
for all of which we return our sincere
thanks. Personally, we have no animos-
ity against either the P. Nj. or his Depu-
: ty. but officially, he Cor ,hey), receives our
disapprobation. We are aware hat our
P. M. has not the power to make postage
stamps, as it would be forgery, but we are
also aware that it is his duty to keep a
supply on hand. He says that the Post
Office Department is to blame, as they
wrote several times to that Department
for stamps. Now we ask, is there one
(excepting the p. M.'s), in this commu-
nifty, who could for a moment believe that
the Department is entirely Out of that ar
ticle. If that had been the case for such
a great length of time, would not some of
the Eastern papers stated the fact, for WI
think that there has been none in this
POST fice for months, and all that time
we, the citizens of Bellevue, have been
paying almost double postage.
In answer to our second charge-for
that official says they are charges-we
would say that he (or they), cannot deny
that the mail frequently passes without
being examined, for if we are not much
mistaken that thing occurred some three
weeks since.
AS to the fourth, they know that they
frequently say that there is nothing, when,
on examination, they have found that
there were several papers there at the
same time.
To the fifth, we would say, hat we
know of cases that persons have taken
back matter belonging to others, which
has been given by them to such persons,
no doubt By mistake.
And as to the last, they also know hat
very often persons have 10 wait a consid-
cradle length of time to gain Abundance.
We could mention a great many abuses
fha we have as yet said nothing about,
but consider that for the present we have
given sufficient in detail, to show to the
citizens that we are determined to make
the worthy p. M. more punctual in the

Mr.. EDIroR:-On last Thursday evening
George ID. Prentice, OF Louisville, delivered
before the Library Association Of this city,
one Of the most finished and thoughtful lee
lures, which it has been my fortune to listen
to. But both lecturer and audience we're
much annoyed during the first fifteen minutes
of the lecture, by persons coming into the
Hall. When the hour is fixed and public no
tice given through the city papers, and by
posters on the street corners, it does seer !,
strange that some people will be behind time
and thereby most needlessly occasion embsr-
rassment and annoyance to others. 1t is nc.
often that We have the opportunity of listen
ing to man like Geo. ID. Prentice; but when
We do haye such an opportunity, we do not
like to &c deprived Of one word CT syllable Of
his utterance. If z o'clock is too early for the
convenience OF those who wish to attend these
lectures, let it be changed; but by all means
let the audience be in the house before the
lecturer begins. B.

RIVER tNrELLsGENCE.

The RIVER was rising fast at this point IL
to the time of going TO press. Ralnad all day
Saturday. The neishboring creeks are very
much swollen.
g. The steamer Northerner spent Friday
afternoon and night ct the lower wharf, and
left Saturday morning for Memphis with q
large pro,niscuous freight She had some fiji )
passengers, most Of whom spent the whole
time on board while the river was obstructed
with ice. The Northerner is first class and
fast packet. Her officers have 10 superiors in
experience and department on the river.
OF Our shippers have been dong an I'm.
iprecedented business in forwarding produce
South, since the opening Of the river. Several
boats have loaded entire at our wharf. Over
1000 tons of pork, lard, tobacco. -four and
grain were shipped by the various commits
sioners houses, last week, and scarcely made
vacancy upon our crowded wharf.
OF The Kate Slrcl ct. arrived here Satur'
day from Mt. Vernon. She will be partially
freighted at this point for Cincinnati.
O. The damage done on the lower Ohio
by the breaking up of The river has been re-
markably slight, considering the vast amoun',
and thickness of the ice in the river. We
have heard Of TO destruction OF property ex-
cept the wharf boat Fawn at Mt. Vernon, and
barge which was aground at Smithland. The
destruction to property above the Falls has
been unprecedented, the particulars OF which
will he found in another place.
otT The steamer Grace Darling was sunk
at st. Louis on the 5th. by the running ice.
Valued at $4,000; insured for $1,000.
On the 9TH, the river was clear at
Pittsburg, with II feet wafer and rising. The
Allegheny is partially clear OF ice. The No
nongahela is open-both rivers rising. The
steamer Chicago, bound from Cincinnati to
Pittsburg, with valuable cargo Of produce,
sunk on the 9th, II miles below Wheeling.
OcT The Gen. Pike is sunk and her Chin
news overheard. Little other damage was
done at Louisville by the ice. A skitf con-
tanning three men who were attempting to
cross the river with the mail were caught in
the ice ann swept over the Falls, but landed
safely below.
OF The river is rising at al points above
The rains have been SO general that n high
river may be anticipated. The destruction
to steamboat property, viii not be SO great as
was first anticlpated-but very heaTy.
Cs5-The Mississippi cleared ct st. Louis
without serious damage. and is rapidly rising.
The WABAsH-We learned from the Ex-
press messenger by Saturday nights train,
that there was IL feet water in the Wabash
at Terre Haute, on Saturday, and rising 10
inches CT hour.
