We have been requested to an. nounce ABRAHAM BUSKIRK, a candidate for JusticeJJof the Peace, fill the vacancy of W. S. Wright. to ! NOTICE. Persons who have subscribed for ihe printing of the Rev.

Wc expect to remove our office next week to the red buil Jingon, the , r,, ... , . c" P'--l ' west of j. Hites. In consequence of this arrangement we will not be able j to issue a paper for one or perhaps! two weeks to come. We hope our patrons will indulge us as we shall be able to present them with the Post in I n nnw dress. ' On Thursday the llth inst . Lieut. (Jovernor Wallace, addressed a por-j tion of his fello citizmiat the Court House in this place, in his accustom-j ed tndrp'ivUnt, iloqucnl and sanasltc j style, lie spoke at length on our. present sytem of Internal Improve- ; meats, and we think shed considersble light upon that subject. He is j entirely opposed to classification, and ! tells us to press forward and carry out i the whole ititem and cur t ixea will - j - i ..... .... ..

te hui a lew cents higher, itiougn li'Tue err.ind was hut hnlf done. Hi!

may co;t the state forty millions of dollars ; but he says he does not4buli jve it will cost near that amount. Further, he informed us that if the public works are classified, our road (Jeffersonville and Crawfordsville) will be in the third class and consequently will not be commenced for forty or fifty years to come, during which time we will have to pay as much tax as though our work were included. There is a great division among Ihe people upon the suujectof the present system of improve ment3, an J unless they unite and carry out the system as begun or put the whole of it down, the stale will be plunged into ruin and disgrace. We have received for publication, the proceedings of a meeting recently held at the Saw Mill of Mr. James Borland of this county. The persons who constituted this meeting it appears, arc opposed to the present system of Internal Improvements adopted by our Slate Legislature. They are in favour of classification, and very generously passed a resolution that all the works should be abandoned but the Wabash and Erie canal and Michigan Road. Poor eood natured and pen u D erous hearted souls, you are willing to give up your own work which is the most important in the state and come out in favor of your neighbors who possess great natural advantages over you. You are very fearful of a buthensome tax, and if it hould be so you would rather pay it to the Wabash and Erie canal and Michigan road than to the road which passes through your own county. What strange doctrine for men to Advance who are so fearful of paying a heavy tax. But perhaps gentlemen you all intend moving near to this favorite work of yours if so you are on the righttrack and should by all means "go ahead," it will assist the people in tn"t quarter to raise themselves up nd keep us where we now stand. We will perhaps publish the proceedings of this meeting next week with tome further remarks. We have recently visited the Wind-sor-Chdir Manufacture 0r Mr. John Lawrence of this place, where we had the pleasure of seeing some beautiful Chairs nnd Settees of the latest style. It U but justice to Mr. L. to say that ht executes his work (both framing and ornamenting) in a very superior tjle. We recommend persons wishing to furnish their dwellings with Dest and durable work, to call on Mr.

Lawrence as we assure them tbey

cannot obtain superior work in the i - state. His prices are very reasonsble and the public should bestow up- . . . l s s I on him that patronoge which he jusly merits. Col. John W. Lee, is re elected Justice of the Peace for Bloomington township. EDUCATION. Believing that the public at large are unacquainted with the recent arrangements made by the Trustees of our Female Academy, we deem it proper to Call their attention to the present organization of the institution. The most am ple provision is now made for the accommodation cf a la rjjc school of females exclusively. A first class nr primary department is established in which little misses will be instructed in spelling and reading and the price of tuition in this department is only four dollars per session. Mrs. Couch well known as a faithful and efficient teacher lias charge of this department. A second and higher order called the preparatory division is conducted by JMiss SniMWAV, who has been invited to this place from Oxford, Massachusetts, and who comes highly recommended hv nersons of rrreat resneelability. The higher classes will be nnI O . I der the immediate instruction of Mr. IVring, who also w ill have a general supervision of ihe other cla-FC. Under the present arrangement tin-re is room for 15 or 20additional scholars in the various departments and we do hope dial the ! public spirit of our citizens will n.K sutler our excellent female institution ol learn, ing to linger for want ol prompt and elicient support. The session of the aendtMiiv has just commenced and now is ihe lime for additional scholars to obtain ad- 1 mtsaion. JOHN HOWL AM), Prcst W m , Alexander, Sec. STRUNG NECESSITY FOR AN OFFICE.

About forty buildings had been destroyed, including the North American Hotel. Most of the buildings were stores, nnd the loss of goods wa3 very considerable. Beautiful example of Filial Piety. About three years ngo, the father of Dr. Warren, Jr.. The author of Passages from the Dairy of a Physician, &c. was arrested for a debt of 6,000, sterling. Upon hearing of this, young Warren hastened to his father's creditors, and making over to them all the property he had in Ihe world, gave his notes for the re mainder, and set the old man at liberty. The amount he gave up, was 2000, and the hard earnings of years. He is again struggling with honest poverty, but it is to be feared that his increasing professional engagements, as a barrister, will deprive the literary world of one of its brightest stars. The Treasury Department has published the amount of the receipts and expenditures of the General Gov eminent for the months of January and February last, for which it appears that the receipts for custom amounted to $1,113,930, and for lands, $1,250,364, amounting in all in Januarys to $2,363,301. Expenditures for the same month $1,768,418. The receipts for customs, $1,897,762, and for lands, $886,576, amounting in all, in February, to $2,889,279. The ex penditures for the same month, $2,-

AMLKICAN LADIL5.

Francis J. Grund, a German who ...... . uvea some years in this country, ana published a work on Geometry, has ? i a tn a a .a a I just gone to England, where he has published a big book, entitled "I he Americans." The following is a portion of his observations on the Americans: The forms of the American ladies are generally distinguished by great symmetry and fineness of propoition; but their frames and constitutions seem to be less vigorous than those of the ladles or almost any country in Europe. The complexions which to the south, inclining towards the Spanish, are to the north, remarka bly fair and blooming, and, while young, by far the greater portion of them are handsome. A marked ex pression of intelligence, and a certain indescribable air of languor, probably the result of the climate, lend to their countenances a peculiar charm, in which it would be difficult to find parallel in Europe. An American lady in her teens, is perhaps the most sylph like creature on earth. Her limbs are exquisitely wrought, her motions are light nod graceful, and her carriage at once easy and dtgni tied. Bui these beauties, it is painful to say, are doomed to an eoly decay At trie period ol twenty lour, a ccr tain want of fullness in her prcpor tions U already perceptible ; and once parsed the age of thirty, the whole fa brie goes seemingly '"lo decay. As the principal cause of this sudden de r line, some alle-dg'-d the climate; but I ascribe it more willingly to the great duit with which the American la dies discharge their duties as mothers No sooner re they marned than they begin to lead a lite ol comparative se elusion; and once mottiers, they are actually buried to the world. At the pe liod of U:herit.g their children into Miciety, thry appear, indeed, once more, as respci table matrons; but they are only the &ilent witnesses ol the triumph of their daughters. The American mother is the nurse, tutor, fnend and counsellor of her I. i. it Vr!. il... -l.l l : liiliilirti. lit ni ij Hi' n nun; I'USUir?? of education devolves upon her; and iuv tk is, in many instances, beyond her nlnsical ability.

Voi?i the Cincinnati Republican, April 24 Myttcriom Affair Brutal Outrage An individual of this city was arraigned before Squire Doty on Saturday last, upon the charge of having decoyed, under false pretences, a respectable and interesting) young female into nn obscure and dark room, with intentions of the most revolting character. We have seldom beard of so brutal an outrage, or one which was better calculated to excite the indignation of a christian community. The testimony against the defendant was not sufficiently strong to justify the magistrate in committing the defendent to prison; yet there was no little apprehension that the people who had been attracted to the office by the extraordinary nature of the case, would inflict upon him summary chastisements. We are happy to state, however, that no , violence was attempted. The unfortunate victim of this diabolical outrage, is said to have lost her reason since her escape, and is now a wretched maniac. She sustained, according to the testimony of most respectable witnesses, a most exemplary character, and is a communi ! cant of the Presbyterian church. The following(particulars ol her abduction conGuement and escape, Wee derived from her before she became derslnged in mind. Oq her return home from singing

school, which she was in the habit of .

attending twice a week, she Was ac costed by a man on Fifth street, who enquired if her name was not Miss . He stated that her brother lay at the point of death, and that he had been sent expressly to convey her to his bed-side; she thoughtlessly accompained him. He conducted her to a house in an obscure street, and shoved her into a dark room, and locked Ihe door. The room was kept dark during her confinement, which was upwards of two weeks, during which Vjtime she wni theatened and treated with considerable violence by the monster who had her in his custody. She could not rpcoenize the nltntnr. r I tho m u n vhn viclprl ' her. But there was a woman who I i u u-. r t i was in the habit ofgoing into her room , . . i i i i j i -r whom she thinks she should know if . . a . , she were to see her again, as she upon

Put off no business, which ought and can be done to day until to-morrow. As soon ns the spring opens and the frost id out of the ground, put your fences in order. Plant no moro ground than you can well manure and cultivato to advantage. Never hire a man to do a piece of work which you can do yourself. Every day has its appropriate duties, attend to them in succession. Keep no more stock, than you can keep in good order, and thut of the best kind. Never run in debt without a reasonable probability of solving it at the time agrecd. Remember that economy and industry aro the two great pillars, the J aching and Boa 2, of the farmer's prosperity. Never carry your notes in your pocket book, as the desk or trunk is a more appropriate place. Keep them on file and in order, ready to be found when Wanted. Never buy any thing at auction because the article is going cheap, unless you have uso for it.

Keep a place for your toolj-and youf tools in their places. -"'J Instead of spending a rainy day at the
