TO OUR PATRONS.

We have the pleasure this week of laying before our renders tlio Review, considerably enlarged. It is now the largest paper in the District, containing three columns more of reading matter than the Montgomery Journal. We hope our Old Line friend1 tliroughf'u' the county and District gener ally, will use their efforts in giving it a widt circulation. Wc will furnish it to new sub Mcribcrs through the campaign for one dol Inr in advance. Hereafter all subscriptions not paid within three months will be charged two dollars. Subscribers who know themselves indebted to us are requestod tr make immediate payment.

oni JOB OFFICU.

Tb« excellence and superiority of our oh Office is too well known among the mcr chants and business mon of the county 5 need any puffing on our part. At picseni wc arc doing a fair share of the work awell as our neighbor across the way. Our advice to thoso wishing jobs executed is tr go to that ofticc which suits them best.—

Our facilities for doing work can be fully attested by cxamiuing our material and

specimens.

"T APOLOGETIC. We hope the Local of the Montgomery Journal 'will not take it any ways amis^ when we inform him that a proper respect for ourselves as well as "the crodit of our paper, prevents us from rendering him nofurious by answering every littlo harmless squib, that in his conceited vanity, he weakly flings at us. Mr. Gilkey is the man we intend paying our respects to and not to ovcrv subordinate and whiffet connected with his establishment.. Wc should lacking in that editorial courtesy which good brooding and custom has so irrevocably established were wo to do otherwise.— Personally, we entertain none but the kind est feelings toward Mr. G.'s Local, but there 19 such a thing as a creature knowing hi? place, and we trust in future ho will no' forget the subordinate position he occupies As soon as wc can, we shall engage the services of some young man to conduct tlx* local department of our paper, when the scullion of the Journal will have an oppor tunity of obtaining at least a passing notice.

Our learned cotemporary, with be

coming propriety and pathos, announce.*the death of the "distinguished writer, Mrs Caroline Leo Hunt." Caroline Lee Ilenlz one of the most charming tale writers of thr South, lately died but we confess an utte ignorance of the "distinguished writer'

mentioned by our neighbor.

jfeiT So many Democratic victories havi taken place within the last few days in th» city elections throughout the Union that would be almost impossible to cnumerat ihenu AVc r.pprc-hend that by next fall no grease spot of Black Republicanism wii

be left in the country.

JtdsT Wsi. R. ELLIS, editor of the Lafayette Courier, informs us that the traitor, Mace, will again be a candidate for Congress. W« understand that ibis determination of Mace has somewhat disturbed the calculations of James Wilson, of this placc. It is stated, however, that Mace has written to Fisher Doherty and others, to use their influence in having Wilson nominated for some county office, which we presume will be entirely satisfactory to James, who regards Dan as a Godfather and will be thankful for crumbs that mny fall from his master's table.

ATTEMPTED SCICIDK.—Abiather Crane, of Bainbridge, Putnam county, Indiana, attempted to commit suicide by stabbing himself several times in the abdomen with a penknife, at Crestline, Ohio, while on his way home from the east where be had been to make his spring purchases. The cause which led bfm to commit the act is attributed to insanity, caused by reverses of fortune.

PARRISII &. RIIIT.

This is the name of a new firm who are now opening an extensive Hat and Cap establishment in the room lately occupied by II. Ball & Co., No. 6, Commercial Block. An establishment of this kind has long been needed, and we hope our citizens will extend the right hand of fellowship to these gentlemen, whose advent among us is another evidence of the growth and prosperity of our town.

IIANNAU FC CASSELL.—These gentlemen have just received their stock of spring and summer clothing, to which they invite the attention of our citizens. From an examination of their stock we are satisfied that it is tho very place to purchase durable and elegant wearing apparel. Call round and look at their fine stock.

jCST Wo understand the Journal has about perfected arrangements with an inmate of our county jail to furnish prison poetry for that paper, which undoubtedly will be highly appreciated by many of its readers, who having experienced the solitudes of confinement, will have old recollections awakened by the descriptive rhyme. The correspondent has been confined since last fall on a chargo of stealing a watch

O O

from a Mr. Beasly, who lives in the neighborhood of Linden, in this county. The following is a sample with which Mr. Gilkey intends treating his readers to: "When friend T5o:i*ly lcnelt down for prayer, lie lifted up Lis eyc.s 1 nt his watch wr.sn't there: riien about the watch they b®fnn to parley.

When into the enlibooso went Charley.'' This is the first stanza of the poem nnd •s pronounced by Mr. Gilkey as the "most lelicious strains" he ever listened to. nan I tB" itiTOur Circuit Court is now in session. Owing to the indisposition of Judge Bryant, flon. Henry S. Lane was appointed to pre ido on the bench. So far the Col. has acquitted himself with the highest credit, fully sustaining his high reputation as a logical and acute huvver.

iC5?" Owing to an unusual press of Job Work during the present week we have not had time to pay that attention to our paper that we should have desired. Wo intend to take the rag of that thing across the way called the Journal.

THE PITK OF BURNS.—At the last anniversary festival of the Burns Association, in Cincinnati, Mr. Kennedy, of Oxford, 0.. presented to tliG Society a shepherd's pipe once owned by Burns, and upon which the poet had often played to his "sweet Highlaud Mary."

REACTION* OF MAINE LAW-ISM.—Govern-or WKLLS, of Maine, has commenced issuing pardon9 to all persons now in jail who have been convicted of offences under the prohibitory law.

$3T A curious phenomenon is presented in tho region about the Lingamore hills, Frederick county, Maryland, the fields ar.d low grounds being everywhere covered with balls of snow varying from the size of a peck measure to that of a hogshead.— The explanation is, that the light snow, 'ast fallen, was set in motion on the hills by the wind, and gathering bulk in its descent, rolled to the fields in large compact masses. 4 .p ,Xm fiST The average tiine of the easter passages of European steamers, during th past year has been—Collins, 10 days nnd 20 hours Cunard line. 12 days. Of the western passages—the average time has been, Collins line, 11 days 22 hours and 10 minutes Cunard line, 13 days hours.

NEW FLOWERING Suurn.—The Horticulturist for January, gives a plate and notice of a shrub found in Macon county, North Carolina, said to be nameless and undesctfbed variety of Rhododenron. a flower second only in maguificence to the Magtiolie Grandiflora. It grows to the height of four or five feet,, and is easily transplanted and cultivated. It is stated that no American flower exceeds this in beauty. Its co'or is a bright crimson, approaching scarlet, and the ponicles are composed of twenty or thirty flowers, forming a conical mass nearly as large as a man's head. The leaves arc evergreen, of a deep color. The =pot where found is on the top of almost inaccessible mountains.

AN ELEGANT STORE ROOM. The magnificent store room in Empire Block owned by Dr. Morgan, and just completed, was dedicated a few nights since by a grand oyster supper. Over forty guests were present, and the greatest conviviality

prevail. Robinson

Co., for whom the room has

been expressly fitted up, are now occupying it, having finished the removal of their goods on last Wednesday. We doubt

whether there is any sale room in the Stale that will compare with this in dimensions and elegance of finish. The long extended length of the room with its beautiful and tasteful cornice, the long line of counters, some six in number, which are finished in the most costly and elaborate style, together with the large double glass doors and chow windows, give it a palatial appearance that challenges the admiration of the spectator. Mr. Robin^jn, one of the firm, is now absent at the east where he is engaged in purchasing goods for the spring and summer trade.

JtV During the week we were favored with a call from our friend, II. S. MCCOLLUM, of the Daily American. Mr. McCollum is an accomplished gentleman, and able writer, and we are glad to know that he is having such good success, in resuscitating the interests of our cause in his county but a great and glorious reaciion is going on there. The elections of next fall, we apprehend, will prove to be a time of redemption, when all who were led astray by

orethren in Tippecanoe and elsewhere

throughout the district, will hold up the hfir.cjs of our neighbor McCollum, and lend him all the aid iu their power, to help him on in his efforts to build those sound, conservative, Democratic principles which always have been and ever will be the safeguard of our free institutions.

Sin CUAULES NAILER.—Sir Charles Napier, the commander of the first Baltic fleet iu the present war, is now a member of Parliament. He recently spoke in the House of Commons, upon Captain Schobell's motion on naval promotion and it is

Hunger compelled them to slaughter one of the beeves on board, which they managed to cook and eat with good relish. With a stack of hay, which was discovered near by, the engineer was furnished with "fuel" to keep the engine from freezing up. Perseverance finally conquered, and the train got through on Monday. —a as

EFFECTS OF FROST.—The Chicago Democrat says: "The effect of frost upon our sidewalks and buildings were never so great at any previous one as they have been this season. We notice in most of the stone sidewalks, that the centre has been raised up and the flagging broken. The sidewalk round the Public Square has suffered a good deal in this way. The fine entrance to the Masonic Hall building has been twisted, and the large blocks of stone cracked by the lifting of the sidew The damage is so great that it will need a great deal of repairing. The foundations of some of our finest buildings have upheaved, and the walls.in consequence have cracked very badly."

The account of his death states that he had studied dentistry and had practiced some little. He had also been a dry good3 clerk in the store of Mr. Burd of Baltimore.— His father is a physician, and is respectably connected. His parents had received a letter from an acquaintance at Fort Leavonworth stating that he fell through the ice and was drowned, and the mourning goods purchased at Baltimore for the family, went up to Dover upon the same train that the criminal was upon. His family were rejoiced a-t his safe return, but how sad the event which afterward harrowed their feelings! •l l» «l $3T The Hon. Henry S.

AND McDONALD. .A,.

The Old Liners of Union township held, on last Wednesday night, one of'the largest mass meetings ever convened in Crawfordsville. The Court House was densely crowded and the greatest enthusiasm prevailed.

Amidst thunders of applause, Mr. Yoorhees was called to the stand, and made one of the most soul-stirring and s'ensible speeches it has ever been our lot to listen to.— For nearly an hour and a half he held the vast crowd spell-bound, and reviewed with a masterly power the present condition and prospects of the unscrupulous and intolerant Fusion party of the country. He hurled back into the teeth of the miserable faction, their vile abuse and dirty vituperation,
