They are both experienced workmen, and are always to be found at their post ready to wait upon their customers.— Tbey have now on hand a large lot of fine jewelry, the best of clocks and watches, and many other valuables in their line. Give them a call.

manufacturers of tomb-stones, fec., have just added Mr. Palmer to the firm, which will facilitate the filling of all orders in their line. They employ good workmen and use the best of material, which accounts for the beautiful mementoes of the dead, which are gotten up in their shop. Remember the dead that the living may enjoy this life.

location.5/ 5A FEVER AND AGUE—A NEW REMEDY. —We advertise, to-day, "Mr. Darling's Rohorantia, the new and sovereign remedy for Fever and Ague," which is said to be superior, in efficacy, to any patent medicine that has been offered to the public. We do t5ot approve of piaffing patent medicines before we are informed as to their true value, but from the tone in which Mr. Darling recommends his remedy, in a private letter to a gentleman in this city, which we hnve perused, we are inclined to believe that it is worthy of a trial. See advertisement, and call on Dr. A. Pence, Druggist, and get a bottle. r'

JEST BUCKINGHAM, —alia*, 'Young Enterprise' at the sign of the Big Book on Wabash street, is again on hand, as usual with the various 'Monthlies'— Harper, as of right, heading the list the number for August being the very finest, of that deservedly popular Magazine, yet issued.

us, threatening destruction to our trains and property, unless the

demands of

mobs were yielded to without del«y. So long as my private reputation was the subject of assault, the envenomed shafts of the assailantsTell harmless but when, through this suicideal course to the best interests of St. Louis, the lives of the traveling public were endangered when property was menaced with destruction, the matter became more serious. There was a responsibility attaching to the latter which did not terminate with myself.

No exertions have been sparedby me, since-the road of the Company passed into the hands of the Trustee, to pay and satisfy the claims against the Company. Without feeling that there was the slightest claim legally or .morally upon me or my house, to settle a single demand against tho Company which had its existence prior to the 6th June last, we have settled claims of that class since that time to exceed One Hundred Thousand Dollars and it was our expectation to have gone on With the settlement until every just claim against the Company was paid.

Had better counsels prevailed/ and a temperate course been followed, we should have arranged satisfactorily all demands against the company, and St. Louis would have been in the full enjoyment of»one of her greatest sources of wealth and pride, Unfortunately, such counsels have not prevailed. Our city authorities, under the maddening lash of unrelenting venom, have beei^ driven from the adoption of any measure calculated to bring harmony or satisfaciiod and under the same influence all our efforts have proved unavailing to stay the cry fo*- havoc and destruction. And now, to prevent bloodshed, the Trustee is forced to suspend thp operations of the road.

I will not pursue this subject further. It is sickening to me, and I am sure that to you and to the masses 6f St. Louis, it is and will be the source of the most poignant regret, that an enterprise, inaugurated on the 4th of July, with such bright prospects, should be so foully slaughtered, ere the month in which it began its career had ended.

To a discriminating and just public, I commit the matter, and am willing to bide the issue, between the defenders of the road and myself, and themselves. Very Respectfully,

H. D. BACON.
