The GAZETTE will continue to furnish the
news kilograms of the New York Associated Press
and OF Reuters European Agency, while its
Washington correspondence will furnish the
latest and most reliable news from the capital Of
the nation. The proceedings of Congress will be
regularly reported in succiuct form, but all mat
tiers OF spcca interest in Virginia will be given
in detail and the full text of all bills of local in
tcrcst will be published.
The Commercial columns Of the GAZETTE vii
give the earliest and most exact commercial news,
with reliable reports OF the Grain, Cattle, Grocery
and other Markets and the prices and position Of
the stocks which are the subjects of business
transactions in this section of tho country.
lis Richmond correspondence and special tcle-
graphic dispatches will give early and accurate
accounts of the proceedings of the General Assem-
bly, and Of all the operations of the State govern
mcnt likely to interest the people.
Correspondence from cvcry section of the State
published continually, and all events of interest
occurring within the bounds of the Commonwealth
will be faithfully reported
The Local Department will receive special at
;ention during the coming year. and no pains
will be spared TO chronicle all matters occurring
in the city and ncighborhood.
The GAZETTE was established in 1900, and is
now the Oldest paper published in the State, and
with very few exceptions the oldest in the coun-
try. 1t is proposed to keep up its usefulness and
to be continued a paper suited for the family as
well as for the counting room and work shop,
and to this end neither pains or expense will be
spared Its past shall be guarantee of its future
The circulation of the GAZETTE is steadily in
cleasing, and that, too, among people who consult
its advertising columns generally before purchas-
ing the numerous articles they are constantly in
need Of That this is sclf-evident may be inferred
from the fact that a largo country edition-equal-
" as large as the daily-is sent out all over this
section of country three times week, and is
read by thousands, most of whom send here or
to contiguous cities for what they have neither
the time or inclination to purchase in person. 1t
OF course follows that they read advertisements
in order to find where purchases can be madesatis-
factorily. The advantages of advertising In the
GAZETTE are thus apparent and need no further
demonstration.

Two ROAta Sunk.

ST. LOUIS, Jan. lion Wednesday
eve ming shortly after dark the tow boat
Raven, belonging to P. P. Msnioa, aud
the packet Tbos Garrett, the property Of
the American transportation company,
were swept from their moorings
at the wharf below the workbouss
and sunk by the ice. Both boats had been
lying there for some time, and with the ex-
osption Of the Waterman no one was on
board. On Monday and Tuesday the ice
was gorgsd In that vicinity, being piled as
high Is 20 feet In some places. Fearing
sudden break both boats bad been secured
by double hswsers, and were considered
as safe as strong cables could make them.
Yesterday the gorge began goiug out and the
Toe was piled high around the boats, tear.
ing away the guards and filing their lower
decks. The weight Of the Ice alone was
sufficient to wsmp the steamers, and they
would undoubtedly have sunk at the wharf
had not the hawsers parted, allowing them
to be carried out into the river and ground
to pieces. Both vessels were totally
wrecked, and no efforts will be made to
raise them. A buoy denoting their local.
ity is all that will ever be seen OF either Of
them again.
The Raven was an old vessel, and was
purchased by Mr.. Manion 10 October last,
no insurance upon her except the fire in.
surance. The Garrett was an old, boat
but In prime condition, aud was valued at
$l4, 900, on which there was an insurance Of
