Ho For THE RED RIVER OF THE

Ho! For THE RED River OF THE
NoRTH-Mr. Burbank is busily engaged
in making preparations for transporting
freight and passengers to the Red river,
Fort Garry, and as far beyond as they may
be needed, in opening the " illimitable
areas of the great Northwest.
Mr.. Painter, who is to command the
Arson Northrup, will start, with his crew,
next Monday, with complete outfit for the
boat, and workmen and tools to construct
lighters to be used in case the water is low
during the season of navigation. Mr..
Painter is an energetic and accomplished
steamboat man, and served good appren.
ticeship under the veteran Captain d. S.
Harris. The enterprise will be in the
hands of those who are fertile in expedients
and ready for any emergency that may
arise in that far~off country.
Mr.. Burbank will go up himself in few
weeks, as soon as the boat is in readiness
for business, and will be prepared, not only
to transport the freight coming under his
contract with the Hudson's Bay Company,
but to make contracts for receiving freight
in England, and delivering it to any point
on the Red River of the Nor tn, or beyond.
Those of our citizens who have friends
that propose to visit this country during
the summer season, cannot suggest to them
a more agreeable trip than to take Bur-
banks stages to the Red river, and then the
steamboat to Fort Garry.

SILVER WEDDING AT RoxBURr. - The
friends of Mr.. and Mrs. Charles X. Dlaway
made them, last evening, very agreeable
call, at their residence, Elliot Square, Roxbury,
on the occasion of their twenty. fifth anniver-
sary wedding day. a few minutes after eight
O'Clock the front door was opened, and COM
pany of some two or three hundred of their
many friends entered. Many OF the party
carried baskets and bouquets of choice flowers,
with other gifts. Some two hours were spent
in the house and grounds, when the company
dispersed. After the visitors had taken their
leave, silver salver was found on the table,
bearing the inscription -" Silver Wedding
D. Aug, q, 1861" 1t was found to contain
a mysterious envelope enclosing a far more
substantial token of their esteem than kind
words and good wishes.

Themas Cults, a respectable farmer of Or

Pietro Boccomini, a Roman of considerable
talent as a play-writer, and a fair actor in
Nine. Ristori's company, died recently at Am
sterdam, thirty nine years old. He was, in
1849, stabbed twice with poignard. The
dagger entered his breast and came very near
reaching his heart. His screams made the as
sassin take to flight, and as he fled he ex-
claimed Great God l have made a mistake.
The author of these words was never discov-
cred. Boceomini never completely recovered
from them
