The Christian Union. of New York, is
edited by Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, and is
one OF the finest papers in :he world. The
agent is now in this city soliciting subscrip-
tions With each subscriber is given a
double French Chrome, a. beautiful as we
have ever seen. The reputation Of Mr..
Beecher. not only AZ a Divine, but As an
editor, together with this chrome, should
secure subscriber TO the Union in every
house in this city.
The hope is generally entertained that
the new Board OF County Commissioners
will reduce the county expenses, nd a
knowledge of the men jnstifies the expecta- |
ton. The rate of taxation is now per
cent, and only one-seventh Of this goes to de- |
fray the interest on the railroad debt. The |
balance of the leakage must be detected and |
dried up, snd We believe the new board will |
be able TO do it efiectually.

The Marrow Gauge road at Denver was |
cleared of the snow drifts by the engines,
without difficulty, while the other roads |
west of Denver are not yet cleared Of tie |
The prairier and hill-sides were blown |
clean by the hurricane, and snow piled some |
fifteen feet deep m all ravines, cuts and gull |
lies, but the narrow gauge plowsd through |
without difficulty.
The Narrow Gauge hands were being paid |
of again on yesterday, 40 We learned, and
thousands Of dollars are thus put in circula-
ton in our midst. The road is being pushed
forward AS rapidly the nature of the
work and the weather will allow. And we
need more railroads, penetrating south and
vert from the city. We hope that our citi-
zens will continue TO reflect and vote upon
the subject until they get the propositions
right, and never give up the ship or lose
faith in their future.

On his honor.
Ii was . sharp and cruel remedy. but when
nothing else will do, just syringe a rogue
with bird shot, and it will cure him.
