molished, and its removal will make a vast
Improvement at the great centre of travel al
the club But we have no doubt that pill
grims to the city will miss the familiar sign
rs. r. Niles's advertising agency" The
Boston Journal, is speaking of the demoli-
ton of the building, says;
''For the past twenty years Mr.. Niles has
occupied rooms there, and has devoted him
self to the business of advertising in the news
papers of all parts of the country. During
this long time he has not only built up a
large and prosperous business, but has gath
cred to himself hosts of friends who will wish
him continued success in his new location,
No. fremont Street. Advertising is, in
fact, science, and although it is becom-
ing to be recognized as primary and
unavoidable expense in the prosecution of
any business enterprise, and sometimes the
only capital in many undertakings, still there
are but few who really appreciate its i'm
mense Importance, or realize the wonders it
is capable OF performing. When managed
with experience, Judgment, skill, persistency
and liberality, we do not believe there ever
was an instance known where it did not yield
NEST gratifying results. From our long bus
mess and personal connection with Mr.. Niles,
we know that he is a master of the act of ad-
vertising-that his judgment and advice in
advertising may be relied upon that he has
been repeatedly entrusted with the promul-
CATION of great enterprises, and that he en-
joys the confidence and respect of the news
paper press and the public to an extent which
it is an honor for any man to possess"

DEAR SIR.-I cleared from this port on
the third of this month, bound to Baltimor G
with load Of molasses. After clearing and
before leaving the wharf the morning of the
4th, my suspicious were aroused that a slave
was concealed on board. l reported at the
wharf-office and desired they should make a
search, which they very willingly did, as
they had missed slave that morning. With
the assistance of my crew, they soon found a
young darkey, which they took ashore,
thanking me at the time for my report and
assistance, and seemed to be perfectly salts
fed with my conduct. So l got the vessel
into the harbor, where we anchored, as the
wind being ahead so we could not get to sea.
About nine a boat came alongside with a
warrant to arrest the captain of brig William,
saying it was for me. Examining it and
finding it not for me and showing them their
mistake, they left Immediately, apologizing
for disturbing me. Thinking nothing of the
matter went to bed again. About mid
night, was awakened again by q rumpus on
deck, and on demanding to know the cause,
found my vessel boarded by party of sol.
diers to arrest me at all hazards, which they
did without any ceremony, taking me ashore
in boat, leaving my wife and child in no
enviabls state Of mind as to the cause and re-
suit OF so unaccountable a proceeding. l
