On Monday last Deputy Sheriff

Office of our contemporary. tho journal,

is at standstill. +. +. Smith, ono OF
the partners, took his departure the
same morning for the Nutmeg State,
having beforehand prepared for the
coming storm by securing a situation
In a printing establishments in Hart
ford. Among the attaching creditors
are Albany aud New York paper firms.
A. P. Upper, Esq, also has consid-
cradle claim upon their Office. So far
as can be ascertained there has been
sunk not much if any less than two
thousand dollars in the concern, which
has been bankrupt for a long time.

concern may be started agaid in few

advertising and subscriptions from the
same patrons. Ample capital and more
brains in the Journal would perhaps
have enabled it to live, but it could
never pay dividends OH the amount
