Advertisin z.

The Philadelphia Evening Bulletin,
noting the falling off in advertising which
has accompanied the hard times, says:
Discontinuing to advertise is taking down
ones sign. II is a sort of intimation of re.
tirement from business, and the public trea1
it as such. Or they may regard it as an
evidence of something having gone wrong
in the business, which requires privacy for
the purpose of investigation. Whatever
construction may be put upon it, the result
is disastrous. Now we advise all our read
ers who may have fallen into the common
error OF the season, to come out of their
holes, to put up their signs once more, and
to advertise as much and in as many papers
as they did in the best times. While busi-
ness creates advertising, it is equally true
that advertising creates business. 1t creates
a talk and stir in the business circles, and
reminds people that they have no right to be
leading drones' lives, even though the times
be dull. And even in the worst OF times,
advertising always pays well, and the more
of it there is the greater will be the circu-
lation of money, and the sooner will we be
restored to condiuon of prosperity.
Truth, every word of it.

Lake Superior Miner. for Frazer Ei,er

The illinois on the last trip from Lake
Superior had 255 passengers, of who m $50
were from the Minnesota and Rockland
mines, bound for the new gold diggings on
Frazer's River. The Detroit Tribune un-
derstands that nearly all the operators in the
above mines were anxious to leave for the
same destination, and that a number suffi-
clent to keep the works going were retained
only by Withholding their pay.
The last intelligence from California
should prove damper on the new gold fever
Frazer river stock had dropped down as rap
idly as it has jumped up. The river contin-
ued high, provisions higher, and gold scarce.
The 25 900 new corners at Victoria and the
supposed gold regions were getting hungry
and impatient, and great suffering and desti-
tuition had begun to manifest themselves IN
the new mines. Such are the statements
Of the San Francisco papers of July 20th.
San Francisco papers represent that the
emigration fever is subsiding, though it ap-
pears that fleet of forty vessels had sailed
for Frazer River within the fortnight. Only
the small amount of $25,0oo in gold had
come forward for shipment. The steamer
Panama brought down $2l 900 in gold. and
1875 adventurers from Frazer River. This
does not look very flattering, judging by the
former glowing accounts of the abundance of
the precious metals.

this he was tried at the Hagerstown Court
The following month, on charge of ineiting

The senior counsel for the defence was The
