We are informed By one Of our large
houses engaged in the wholesale and re-
tail drug business, that they have made
heavier and larger sales within the past
week than they have for any other week
since they opened. Their sales have been
made to men living in different parts Of
the Territory.-Lawreace Republican.
The Drug business being good. it is un-
derstood to follow that the business of the
Undertaker is also good. The fact being
thus incontrovertably established that the
Druggists and Undertakes are each doing
brisk business, it is clear that, SO far as
our remarks of five or six weeks ago, that
"business is excessively dull in Law

ATribuis 20 Printer.

It is indeed encouraging to know that
printers ara occasionally duly appreciated.
The following extract from the report of
the committee on Printing, of the Legis-
lature of Wisconsin, pays refreshing
compliment to editors and printers. Read
it,
We are not aware that printers and
newspaper proprietors are class of so
little use in the community, or so destruc-
tive ofits interests, as to be entitled to but
half compensation for the labor and ser
vices which they perform. But your
committee do believe that no class of men
perform more gratuitous services for all
general and local interests, or more active
ly and effectively engaged in disseminat-
ing information, making known the re-
sources of the country, and inciting to
action the energies of the people. than the
printers. proprietors and editors of news

What Ara TIA Fae..s

Its represented that the Register of
the Land Office, at Leeompton, refuses to
allow pre-emptors to prove up on their
Claims, unless their final papers are made
out IN Lecompton before an attorney, who,
It's represented, is relative. and divides
his fees with the Land officer. We do
not believe the report, as such procedure
would be clearly in violation of law, and
sufficient cause for the removal of any
public officer. It is due to Mr.. MOORE
that his attention should be called to the
subject. to the end that he may put him
'elfright- before the country, and for that
reason we publish this item.

CONWAY, the president of the convention
