The house Of &. III. Hamilton & Go,
Paper Dealers Of Milwaukee, with
which Mr.. Robert Maybcll formerly Of
this city has been connected for IL
number Of years, has suspended pay
ment for the present. A letter from

The suggestion, says the Madison
Democrat, Of the governors in rela-
ton to paying the family of the late
Moses Strong, the salary that would
have ACQUIRED to the deceased during
the remainder Of his official year, is q
proper one. Such action upon the
part Of the legislature would be but Il
just acknowledgement of the valuable
services which the distinguished gcol-
ogist rendered the state.
