most fair and:amp!e proDortions, and has a cireu.
lation, so far, exceeding our expectation, an I af.
fords, a fine opportunity for advertising. In
this connection we would sy, that some o: our
friends who had beeC 'in rbceipt "of the -weckly
issue, manifest surprise at not ieceiving the tri
weekl. It is not surprising atall to us, for fay
ing made the request in the previous issues ti.at
- .fl who wanted it would say,so we .concladved -of
course that the few who did not come ip, cared
not tooke it. , We are glad to find, however, 1
that they wer'f only as'eep, and are now wakiing

4these loud-talking, "onder-mnaking, gratuitous

off, as'they .fly hIere adhete wihdsen$d
mass full of: sensaiion stori'es, and will give them~
always a wide berth.. The publie mind is'kept
in a continual fever of excitement, and from con
stazitly being dedrecd, are inclined to- disbelieve
the truth when it does come. A'nother injurious'
effect is, that these stories get into' news-papers,
and the editors of which are credited' for them,
poor fellow& when they are,ai innocent as the

Two of the men robbed last week, were Majol

son, sometime ago they entered his house. in the
night, and one of hem 'presenting his pistol de
