Knows. II. Kinnic, Esq, of Lansing,
and DAVID, of Harper's Ferry were here
last week. They may have been concerned
in the Co. Seat question of Allamakcc, but
they said scarcely anything about it while
here..... 1t is told us that LAWYER will Put
the Lower Town Ferry in motion in a few
weeks. Capt. Bisbec, the trump, with such
valuable face cards as are on the steamer he
commands, will do the whole business of
all the ports hereabouts by doubling the

escort her while her Editorial chubby was
teaching the Blind pupils of Wis. the
signs Of the Deaf and Dumb, prevented an
elaborate strain of eloquence on our part.
A poetess, not peered in Wisconsin, on one

is possessed by even an Irish Iowa Editor
