The appearance of the Record is exceed
ingly neat and attractive.
TIE PATRIOT AND UNION and the lieu,
stone published at the seat of government,
ofthis State have been consolidated and
will hereafter be published by the title Of
the first named paper.
The Daily Herald has also been purchas-

suing daily Patriot and Union. The latter
arrangement goes into effect Oh the lst
inst Ito day. The Patriot and Union
will be under the Editorial charge of r. j.
IIaldeman Esq its former Editor.
From the character and standing Of the
gentlemen connected with this enterprise
as experienced Editors and publishers Of
newspapers, we have no hesitation in say
ing that the Patriot and Union will contin.
ue, as it has heretofore been, one of the
ablest and most fearless Democratic Jour

success.
The Iowa COUNTY ADVOCATE is the
name of a new weekly paper, the first
number Of which is before us, just started
at Dodgvllc Wis. by Messrs. How & Ste

that with the first number of the .Idrocate,
they "cut loose" from all afiiliation with
any party, and that it will be Il free and
independent Journal" by particularizing
the various departments of their paper
and the care and attention which they in

prise is a laudable one, and we hope they
may succeed in all they have undertaken
in this connexion.

Center county in its palmiest days, in the
times when Gen. Jas. Irwin was a member
of Congress, and candidate for govern

years" and 'has done nobody any harm, "
has at last yielded up the ghost. Peace

We do not intend to write its epitaph,
although many "reminiscences of the "old-.
en- time have been called up by the AM
nouncemcnt of its sudden, though not, !
early decease. For the gentleman whose
ability has governed its columns except at
brief intervals, since our acquaintance
with it; and who delivers its dying solilo-
guy, wehave thewarmest feelings of friend |

bosom of man, than animates the breast of

The Central Press" is to be Independent
