"Bobby, that's one of the five!" They directed the perspiring expressman to the right door and, it is to be regretted, shamelessly peeped while he toiled up and down bringing the five trunks and three hat boxes.

We must give our checks to the expressman, and have our luggage carted over to the Grand Central Depot.

The answer, though not proper to record in this place, was worthy of Perkins's opponent, who had a standing grudge against the entire race of expressmen and carters who brought him boxes and barrels to handle.

This was turned over to an expressman and carted to the Chamber of Commerce.

But after breakfast an expressman appeared with a bundle for Rattleton, and in the bundle were the missing articles.

PEACE POLICY.The agent from La Pointe, in Lake Superior, writes: "My expressman from the Fond du Lac arrived on the 31st of last month, by whom I learned that the Leech Lake Indians were unsuccessful in their war excursion last fall, not having met with their enemies, the Sioux, and I trust my communication with Mr. Aitkin will be in time to check parties that may be forming in the spring.

The last vessel for the season, the "Marengo," left the harbor for Detroit, taking on board our expressmen, who are to return by land.
