TRAVELLERS. Yesterday a wagon of antedil-
avian model, very rickety and apparently on
its last wheels, pulled by five remnants of
horses, halted near the freight house of the
Y. Il 7, R. R. Co. This wagon contained an

mission, The owner of the wagon exhibited

for liexico, where we hope the Old man and
family will find resting place,
