ERIE RAILwAY.-We call attention
to the advertisement Of the Erie Rail
way in this paper, and recommend the
same as by all means the best. most
comfortable, convenient, and expedi-
tious route to the East The express
trains from Buffalo runs through with
out change of cars, subject to no de-
ayor detention, and are furnished with
luxurious sleeping cars--tho broad
gauge giving ample space in these as
in the passenger coaches for all requi-
site accommodations, change of posi-
ton and unimpeded locomotion--and
are, to use an expression of recent or
igin, under the supervision of "gen-
tlemanly conductors" at least we
found our supervising officials all on
the " broad gauge" tractable and ra-
diant. Trains on the Buffalo and
Lake Huron Railway connect with
those on the Erie Railway at Buffalo,
going and coming. AS freight line
the Erie possesses great advantages
over any other railway running west
from New York, having continuous
line to Buffalo or Dunkirk, thus obvi-
ating the necessity of change or trans
shipment between these points.

A GRATIFIED INDIvIDUAL.-Mr. J..
Block, of the firm Of Il. & l.. Block,
Cincinnati Ohio, made fine start for
all-fools day by leaving his pocket
book, containing large sum of money
and some valuable papers in
the Reading Room of the Everett
House in this City, on Friday,
April l., and taking the early morning
train for Flint. Luckily Mr.. Emer-
son, sir-named Court" found the
treasure lying around loose, and not
having the fear of "sell" before his
eyes, sliced upon it and deposited it
in the Office of the hotel. The land
lord, Mr.. Wesley, at once telegraphed
to Mr.. Block, but he had before dis
covered his lose, and leaving the train
at the first station returned to find his
greenbacks and '1ittle postal all
right. Mr.. b. desires us to tender his
thanks TO Messrs Emerson, Wesley,
Everett House, and all concerned for
their kindness in thus saving him from
an april fool on an expensive scale.

lively fluid style imaginable. The

endowed with mud, the cross-walks
buried in that delectable compound,
the sidewalks all saturated with
water, tho bitches OVERLOOKING there

with rain, snow, sleet, mist and moist
