MAREErs.-Onc of QUE subscribers,
who lives in q section of the county 10
near to Waterloo as Independence, writes
us in private communication that there
is an impression in his neighb0rh0od that
the prices of grain SC, IS reported in the
BULLETIN. do not correspond with those
of the market at Independence. He does
net say whether they are thought to be
too high, or the contrary, but suggests
that they are believed to be incorrect
Whether this impression results from the
insinuations OF rivals for the trade which
seeks our city, or whether it be mere
surmisc. We here. without hesitation, pro-
nouncc it unjust and erroneous. Our re-
ports are procured from reliable parties,
doing business in the markets, aud repre-
sent the actual prices ruling. on the day
.of publication. We certainly have no
inducc,Ment to deceive in this matter, and
we arc also cognizant Of the fact that
rather than publish II report which VIC
are not assured il ut least approximately
correct, it would he better policy and less
trouble to publish none ut all. Neither
have We any reason to believe that the
parties furnishing the figures published
in the BULLETIN would deceive us. Our
friends in the country may rely upon our
figures AS correct ON the day they are
printed.

THE RAlLRoAD-Ourp people, who have
put their faith in tho B. c. r. s. NJ. r. r.,
by voting it a tax of $4,000, may have
their confidence in the ability and dispo-
sition of the company to push the work
Strengthened by the following, from the
Fayetse Union. Mr.. Cook, the agent Of the
company, passed through our city on his
way north, a few days since, and while
here, announced the intention OF the
managers to have the Toad here by July.
He says the company mean business, EN-
phatically. So moto it be:
"Still the work goes bravcly on along
the line of the B. G. r. 4 NJ. road, with
good prospect Of . literal fulfllment Of
all tho contracts and promises. both by
the company and citizens. Never within
our knowledge was there q railroad en-
tcrpriss started with 80 little blowing and
prosecuted with such determined vigOr
as this has been so far, and, rs we believe,
will be until ito final completion. The
early commencement, severity and long
continuance OF winter prevented doing
80 much work - WAS expected last fall
and during the winter, yet it has been
crowded Is fast 40 the elements would
permit, and preparations are being made
to make lively work Of it as soon as the
frost is out.
