The Rio News Of 5th contains the following paragraph
concerning the steamer Humber. We have not cen inc
report in any other paper, and this news when IS trulS
welcome, will be the means of causing many a weary III
hope torsaken heart to rejoice:
The X. NJ. :. Humber, which was thought lost IN
voyage bet ween London and New York, has turned up III
Nova Scotia. She was ice bound for 100 days.
" The Humber left New York for Europe on the 10Th
February last :,
We take the above from ''The Bulletin"
of yesterdays date. 1t is a pity, we think,
that the editor Of that print had not
thought it worth his while to have made
enquiry, as far as he was able to, and en-
deavOured to ascertain the possible cor
rectneSS of it, before he gave it out to the
world as news. which is truly welcome"
and which " will be the means of causing
many a weary and hOpe-forSaken heart 70
rejoice" The hiSh-hown pitch which he
took in giving it perhaps blinded HIM 10
the necessity of enquiry. 1t is OF course
il piece of news we would all like to be
true, but we fear it is too singular to be
so. The vessel left New York on the 10Th
OF February for England-seven and a
half months ago, and now the Rio News
and The Bulletin come to account Tor an
s. ce-b0und" fOur months, but leave the
other 81 unaccounted for, and one can only
conclude that this part of the time vas
occupied in getting The news round to our
two contemporaries. The Superintendent
OF the Company informed us this morning,
on enquiry at his office, that no reliance
can be placed on the news.

to the retailers Of this town some Of you
capable of a little foresight, contemplate
these country establishments as your final
downfall, You conclude it will not be long
before YOU may be reduced to bpggarY
others, the younger, mediate deserving
the Island; but none OF you have consider
ed III how far you are yourselves the in
Strument Of your own miSfOrtuneS YOU
are asked, Where are your legislative
representatives ? Why don't You get
them to represent your grievances to the
Government? Your answers are, Friend
they don't care, they are not interested III
MS and would not give themselves the trou-
bile; you are next asked, Why do YOU
elect men whom You know have no inter
est in your welfare? Your answers are,
1 voted for him or them through the in1u-
ence of his friend | voted for him because
others did | voted for him to pleasn-;
along with many other astonishing rea-
sons; but these are all your own faults,
and your own mistakes. | would therefore
recommend You to another course in the
future; for this important purpose elect
men Of whom You have some personal opin-
ion men whom you suppose to have the
permanent interest and welfare OF the
Colony, their home, at stake men like
hon: Mem. Brown, who are capable OF
surveying the whole system and calcuIat-
ing the results, and not men who for their
own personal interest would plunge a
whole community into an abyss of contu-
sion and mise V, from whence their limited
Legislative capacities would fail to extrl-
cate it. Soliciting our benevolent Govern
ment to duly contemplate this important
subject, and thanking you, the Editor,

The investigations in regard to that New
Mexican land grant have been developing
very curious things. 1t seems that sceor.-
ing to some secret law $4,000 acre grant
suddenly swellsd out and spread over 2,OU0,-
900 acres, and the value of the entire grant
from being $4,000, expanded. in q short
time to such an extent that one fifth was
valued at $500, 900. 1t seems also that one
sixth Of the grant was sold to an
EugEshmsn. There would not be anything
remarkable about that if Mr.. ELKISs in his
Grafton before the Alumni Society of the Mis-
sour University had not spoken 80 positive
~ against selling public lands to foreigners.
He said, no public lands of any kind
should be sold to foreigners or to corpora
tons controlled BY foreigners" also, Legal
restraints are needed against the holding
CT lands for speculative purposes, depend
ing upon increased population and
settlement to make them valus-
ble." This grafton of Mr.. ELEISs
is a very 6ne one, but it is little strange
that man who can speak such good SEN,
-timents should allow violation Of them in
Susiness with which be is connected.

FACTS are continually coming to light

that the Republicans had set up JOB to

The advantage Of living in city nest
led among the hills, as is Wheeling, was
strongly verified lsst Thursday. rhs storm
that ragged Tor hal fan hour Thursday even
ng in this city was veritable tornado on
the weste. plains that was irresistible aud
carried complete destruction before il;
whereas, the grand old hills on all sides of
the city stood as enduring gisnts
between Us and harm, so that
when the cyclone penetrated our little
valley its power for Wholesale damage was
spent and only few trees were uprooted,
few houses slightly damaged and some little
injury to the growing crops. Thus We see
Wheeling has her good points as well as
her bad ones, and the former stand out in
noble contrast 10 the latter.
