The happiest man we met last week
was James Stackable, of Waterloo. 1t
was on Thursday last and the reason he

to Miss Mary Cronage, of Hurricane,

Potosi, one of the oldest towns in the
coeuty, is associated in the minds of
many people with all that is rough, vul-

fastidious mind. 1t can boast in its
situation of the most beautiful scenery
ia the north west. 1t has many sub
stantial buildings, good churches, and
during the coming year will boast of q
free high school, The business men are
wide-awakc, thorough-going and pros
porous. Among them may be named

have been large. To St. Louis they
shipped during the past season 5000
bushels of potatoes and several thou
sand bushels of oats /; ,hey also shipped
last year 5000 pounds OF butter. Three
gentlemanly clerks are employed, who
