The first wharf for seagoing craft in the
Second District is what is called the Crom

st. Louis street. Mr.. Alfred MOultOn, the
agent Of the line, rebuilt this landing nearly
a year ago at his own expense and under
mis- own supervision, to be reimbursed by
the CITY in the levee dues of his own ships

no more substantial wharf, and with proper
care it will last ten years.

discussions and discoveries to deg,ee
of fullness and accuracy never before
attained by any paper.
1t gives every week ten or more
columns of the most carefully prepared
agricultural matter during the year,
much more in the aggregate than the
entire contents of any other agri-
cultural publication, and the while
forming a department Of which an
eminent agricultural editor said: ait
has done more to make good farmers
than any other influence which ever

1t has published series of scientific

"THE WORLD" AND ITS WORK.

Those of our Democratic friends who
desire to subscribe for a New York
Paper will find none that equals The
World in ability, or that so fearlessly
and clea rly advocates Democratic
principles. In the news from all parts
of the world, it is complete, and it's
editorials on all subjects are vigorous
and logical. To the farmer it is un-
valuable: teaches him many things
that tend to promote his best interests
which he sorely needs his eyes opened
to. The World is now doing great
work in behalf of the Democratic party,
and should be fully sustained. i Bing-
hamton Leader.

THE UNPRECEDENTED SUCCESS
L with which the Times has met, since
its establishment, is convincing evil
dcnce that the people Of the West and
South fully appreciate the efforts of a
journal, which, in addition to its en-
terprise as a newspaper, has the cour-
age to boldly declare and constantly
maintain the principles of it's political
faith.
The public journal most deserving
of Democratic support is the one that,
in addition to being full and faithful
medium of general news, ia also firm
and consistent advocate Of Democratic
principles. A Democratic newspaper
is the newspaper for Democrats to
support, and the idea sometimes sought
to be incalculated by those who have
an interest of their own in doing so,
that the people must 60 outside their
party organs to "fnd the news" is alb
surd and irrational. There is no sort
of incompatibility whatever between
the political and on-political journal
as to the matter of news; many of the
papers now published throughout the
country, and especially valuable for
the amount and variety of their intel
ligence, being also known for the abil-
ity and earnestness with which they
champion their peculiar party views.
Hence all things else being equal, it is
manifestly the duty of Democrats to
limit their newspaper patronage to
such as are of their own way Of think
ing and not to squauder their means on
those that wage constant warfare upon
their established convictions.
It is our desire to see the TIMES in
the hands of all Democrats, and every
well-wisher of the government through
out the land, and in order that this
may be done, we are now offering the
following extraordinary Inducements
to those who will interest themselves

A HUGE LOTTERY SwINDLE.-One of the
most stupendous swindles that has ever
been perpetrated in this country transpired
in Alexandria, Va, on last Monday. For
some months the so-called Montpelier Fe-
male Humane Association had advertised
in many papers that on Friday, Oct 1st,
there would be a grand drawing for prizes
in favor of those who had purchased tickets
in the enterprise. A host of silly people
seem to have taken hold of the lottery and
forwarded their money to the managers in
Alexandria, but at the drawing it was dis
covered that the whole management had
been so manipulated as to give evidence of
a gigantic fraud. The ticket holders
present at once appointed a committee to in
yestigate the case, when it was ascertained
that the money received for the half million
dollars worth of tickets that had been sold
had been deposited somewhere in New
York, and was not subject to the draft of
the officers of the Association. A party
representing himself as from Montana Ter
rtory appeared as the holder of the ticket
entitled to the capital prize of $4,000, but
it is confidently believed that he is in
collusion with the swindlers, and that not
single dollar will go into the hands of bona
fide ticket holders. The wonder is that an
intelligent people can be so often duped by
these lottery swindlers, and it is matter
of regret that the losses fall for the most part
upon a class of people who can lily afford
to be swindled. Let this last and greatest
fraud have Il good effect upon those who
are ready to believe all that these can
didates for the penitentiary have to say to
them through flaming advertisements con-
cerning - a fortune for dollar"
