mistake not, the following Will be found
near 3 correct version OF the orange
ment: Oae boat per day leaves st. Louis
for 81. Paul through the $50 O1e-
half these to be Northwestern Union, or
White Collar boats, leaving on alternate
days, and sll from the Northern line
c0mpaRyis wharfbOat, that company at
tending to the entire business OK shore
OF the blended lines. This is enough to
state on that head at present. The KsO-
kuk Packet Company is no party to the
arrangement. On the contrary, the
North western Uaion Ceeigns running
steamers regularly between this port and

Union grants 10 the Northern line some
immunities between Dubuque and st.

ticulariy. We presume that at last a
happy rescue from az unpleasant Rtti
tude has been attained by both of the
