The Directors propose to hold another meeting be- ijre they render a final decision. We were yesterday shown a letter received by one of our citizens from S. K. McCleery, clerk of the City Council of Louisville, whose idea of Dead wood and our citizens must be a peculiar one, for in speaking of the meeting of the Odd Fellows here, he asks this question Do your members come to Lodge car--7-nS un and revolvers For the satisfaction of this gentleman, wo wiil say that our citizens are civilized, that desperadoes in this country are scarce, and that there is no need to' carry firearms.

It is reported that the grass along the line of the Bismarck route has been destroyed by prairie fires Should the report prove true, the demoralization among bull trains can be easily imagined. They will be obliged to substitute mules for 'their oxen or draw off their trains.

The Pierre rouie is in a jout the same fix, and the result of the whole thing will be an ad- vance in freight rates. i Personal.
