try tributary to that point but which often
pours its produce into McGregor, we are
Of the opinion this Advertisement will do

the west and those who go to our neighbor-
ing young city will enquire promptly for
their house with the certainty that they will
pay the highest price for Pork, or produce
of any other kind. Mr.. Morgan, who was
down here lately, made arrangements to
get the prices at this place daily, as the
telegraph affects them, and hence he will
be able to pay the worth of whatever may
come to town for sale.

Do YOU EVER EAT this question need
rot be asked of those who have had the
pleasure Of sitting at Yates table; he
fixes oysters, game and other delicacics so
nice that the pains Of dyspepsia would not
stop your appetite. Yates has gone to great
expense to fit up an elegant eating house or

is in exccllant taste, the room is always
quiet, the proprietor one of the most gen.

HAVE We A CRY ArIoRxEY -
We have City Attorney, who il paid by
the people the sum Of SIX hundred dollars
per annum. to act on behalf Of the city in
all suits to which the corporation i party.
and to advise the colnci. when requested
as TO the legality Of the measures proposed
BY them. This Office ia now filled James
L. Lane, Lsg., a gentleman who has done
very little except to write out few learned
opinions upon the subject of Ju ige Grants
Injunction of one or two cases: but who,
We doubt not, if the council would give him
an opportunity, is entirely willing to earn
his six hundred dollars The Council,
which seems to have a constitutional oliec-
ton to doing anything properly or economi-
cslly, will not, however, g;ve him q
chance but because certain Aldermen have
private ends to gain, they have created two
Deputy City Attorneys. to do the work Of
Mr.. Lane, and to receive an extra salary.
Some few weeks since, it becoming neces-
sary that certain scadamizing assessments
should be collected by an attorney, Alder
man Hubbell, probably with the hopes that
George E Hubbell would get the appoint
ment, introduced a resolution authorizir 2
the Mayor to select some persons to make
the collections. The resolution was passed,
but in this instance, as we'll as with refer
ence to the Bridge Attorneyship, the Alder
mans high hopes slipped up Messrs.
Hall and Guiteau, are both enterprising
and deserving young men, aud. if any such
appointment was necessary. no better Sc
lection could have been made; but while
we haves City Attorney paid to attend 10
these matters, they should be left to
him, and the tax payers should not be
compelled to fee other attorneys to do his
