Resolved, That the thanks of this
meeting are due, and are hereby ten

as being in harmony with each other,
we invite the cooperation of our fell

The frecmcn of this country, with
out regard to party politics, have be-

Between overdone speculations in
lands and town lots, and tho injuries
sustained from protracted rains and
high water, the situation Of consider
able portion of tho West is any thing
but tlattcrng. A resident of Kcokuk,
Iowa, writes to his friend in Wheeling
as follows:-
-" Talk about dull times, gloomy
prospects and general stagnation of
business, you must come to this place
to realise them. The citizens here say
that the bottom has fallen out. The
river farms arc all ovcrilown. The
roads to the interior are impossible.
The rains have prevented the sowing
OF the crops, and dependency rests
upon the people. There is u tradition
that such thing rs money once exist

She left him and fed to her mother

a long fit Of illness, discovered that
the Doctor had gone to the bank with
another woman who porsonated the
wife, and had drawn the whole amount
standing in her name. With this mon.
cy he came to this country. but could
not be traced further than New York.
The next tidings received from him
