COVTKMPLATE!) SUICIDE. Last Saturday night Pedro A/nonius, formerly a citizen of the land of tho Montezuma*, called at the drug store of Manson & Powers, and asked for a sufficient quantity of arsenic wherewith to shuffle ofi" his mortal coil. He stated that owing to financial difficulties, life had became burdensome and he had resolved to take up his abode either in the Bastile of the county or in the silent halls of Death. Cap. Mansou whose heart always beats for the unfortunate and particularly with members of this down-troden race, kindly inquired

eled, though the lines are oftener single than double. But this Aurora flowed, at times wave on wave, with tidal motion, •upward and onward, until the zenith was reached—when the sky had the appearance of an exactly divided arch, one side so light that beneath it fine print could be read with case, while the other was so dark that if the stars had not shone, we «hould have taken it for a black cloud.

But the electric waves did not pause at tho zeneth, nor till two-thirds ef the vault :was illuminated. These lights were constantly changing and distributing themselves in quaint and weird forms. We observed that the light in the north-east *was usually a fainter duplicate of that in •the north-west, and the shapes much alike.

IJow wonderful is this phenomenon of j! •Northern Light! AH the more exciting and delightful, bsenuse it is one of those i,mysteries of nature which she seems to reserve for a higher development of the human mind—such as the variations of the compass, the sources and the seven-year tides of the American and one or two other lakes, the frozen well, the polar sea. The resources of science are not likely to be soon exhausted, and each aecret, when it is reached, implies another stratum of civilization and knowledge for the forming man. Human knowledge passes from superstition to faii' y, from fancy to positive scicuce. The first Aurora drove the families to the Jtcmples at first, because they thought the world was on fire afterward because they thought it an omen of war, pestilence and famine the second

"Wallace, at the time of his death, was Judge of the Common Pleas Court of Marion Co. He was a graduate of West Point—succeeded Gov. Ilay in the Gubernatorial chair, and was subsequently elected to Congress. He was also a member of the Constitutional Convention in 1850.— He was an honest man and has gone to his reward.

8S?~ The Union air held at Russellville during the last week, was in every respect a complete success. The attendance was nearly equal to any of our State Pairs.— Among the premiums taken on fine stock we arc pleased to record those received by our fellow townsmen II. S. Braden, Warren Davis and Jas. P. Watson. Mr. B's. horse took the first premium as tho best in single harness and first in that class denominated sweepstakes. Mr. D. reeived the first premium on the best span of Carriage horses. Mr. \Y. the secoud premium on a saddle horse.

The Review Job Office received the first premium on plain and ornamental print ing.

&ti)~ \V understand that four gentlemen have signified their intention to enter mules to compete for the premium in the "slow race" which is to come off at the county Fair. This will perhaps be the best specimen of obtaining speed under difficulties which has ever been brought under the notice of gentlemen of the turf.

A CANDID OPINION.—One of the most staid and respectable papers in the Union is the New York Journal of Commerce.— In a candid notice of Mr. Douglas' essay on Popular Sovereignty, that Paper expresses the opinion that "it is ably written, and notwithstanding its great length, presents a concise, logical and connectcd view of the subject upon which it treats, from its earliest period in our colonial historv down to the present time." Such must be the honest judgment of every candid reader.

WAIIASH C'OI.I.HGI:.—This institution commences its fall term on the 14th of the present month. The college enjoys a high reputation. The scholastic and classical attainments of its professors ranks it among the first institutions of learning in the eountrv, while its location in one of the most beautiful and healthy towns of the 'W est renders it a delightful retreat for the student.

It is supposed that he and his Potts have gone to California. His wife has applied for a divorce, on the ground of adultery and abandonment.

#S?"In these times of great financial pressure, it is gratifying to be able to note the fact that our merchants generally appear to be doing a healthy business. No inflation—but a steady, safe trade, such as they and their customers can stand up to, and a general disposition to keep their heads free from the meshes of the credit system. Pay as you go appears to be the motto—a better one never was adopted.

A SCANDALOUS OUTRAGE.—Some villain set fire, a few nights since, to the tents erected on the Methodist Camp Ground, near Bainbridge, and burnt them to the ground. The rascal deserves a term of years in the penitentiary. His chance of entering the Golden City is slim.

NOAII'S ARK

AND THE (ltEAT EASTERN.

A day or two since we presented the relative proportions of the two greatest ves-

sc^s

ever constructed—Noah Ark and Scott liusselPs Great Eastern—from which

it. appeared that tho Great Eastern is a hundred and thirty-three feet longer than was the Ark, and three feet deeper, but not so broad within eight feet. As an illustration of the change in ideas of navigation which the building of the Great Eastern is calculated to produce, we will quote the following paragraph from an elaborate article issued thirteen 3'earis since, in the Church of England Quarterly, on the Deluge, and republished in Little Living Age: "Now, as it is clearly impossible that a vessel of the length and breadth, of the Ark could be otherwise than a floating vessel, designed entirely for perfectly still waters, we have supposed it to be flat-bottomed and straight-sided both as making it the more buoyant and giving to it the greatest capacity. It was devoid of all sailing properties had neither rigging nor rudder its build was simply that of a Hugo float, to all outward appearances, wholy at the mercy of the winds and the- avcs, liable to be drifted or driven about"wacording as currents or winds for the time prevailed but, ns we shall show, t\\eArk could not for a moment have been subjected to the influence of either winds or tides.

the other, would break it in the middle and cause it to_ founder, nor could any possible contrivance or cngenuity of construction prevent this consequence. And if the very peculiar construction of the Ark had not made such a conclusion irresistible, the purpose for which it was built would have proved that such was the fact, for had the

A TIVEXTY-S1X Year clWrK' aWo iNorantiiniiKs^oyBasuftEs or

A XLIvViELAA D, BO.Y.

About twenty-six years'ago some Canada Indians I were in Cleveland, aijd did some trading with the poople. In the course of the trado the. Indians fancied they had been cheated,, and, ,iu order to revenge themselves "stole a three-year old boy from the city and carried'it?ofl to Canada. 'K&nhi i£•' oc

The captors,kept"the boy in Canada for a few days, and then, fearing. his recovery by the whitek.-sol'd him to a party of Pottawatamies, who kept him about a month. By these he was again sold to the Paw Paws, in which tribe lie remained a month, but, as there were some fears that lie wo'd be traced and be taken by .the whites, he was traded off to the WinnebagoeS 'of Illinois and Wisconsin.

How long he remained in the keopingof this tribe has not been asecrtaiued, but he was eventually transferred from the Chippewas of Wisconsin, who again sold him to the Sioux Indians of Minnesota.

Twenty-five years ago ho was sold by the Chippewas to the Snakes anil Copperheads of Iowa. lien this tribe removed to Missouri, he accompanied them, and afterward went with them in their migration through California and Oregon. That portion of the tribo with which ho remained finally proceeded as far north as the .Russian Possessions, near Ecliring's 5traits, and there with portions of the Creeks, TJtahs, and other large bands of Indians, they at present remain.

The Snake and Copperhead Indians trado with St. Paul, having a semi-annual train to that placc. The train has about two thousand Indians. One party starts from St. Paul about the same time that the other starts from their hunting-grounds, thus meeting about half way. The furs are packed on ponies, elks and dogs.

On their last semi-annual trip, the hero of these adventures received a pass from one of the Chiefs—"Ma-co-chcw-a-wa"— to seek out his relatives, and, if found, to remain with them awhile. Tho pass requires his presence- in St. Paul at their next trip in 18G0. Seven of the tribe accompanied "Mo-kos-c-quo-qua," for that is the Indian name of the young man to Chiago. From that place he lias footed it most of the way, and arrived here'yestcrday. At Fremont his features were recognized by a man as bearing a strong-resemblance to one Joseph Todd, who is said to have resided in Cleveland about thirty.years since.

For some time past the young man has

been diligently engaged .in tracing up his

history, and what we have given above is |j

the result of his inquiries. He says lie

A Mr. Rodgers, of Ripley county. Indiana, with his daughter Elizabeth, of about 10 years, and her illigitimate child of three or four months, appeared in Olncy last week and applied to llayward & Kitchcll, attorneys, to procurc the arrest of a young Mr. Lane, the absconding father of the child, who was said to be in the county.— The writ was made.out and handed to Deputy Sheriff Johns, who turned to her and said—"How docs lie look!" She turned her face-—a tear fell on the floor—"like this—this babe—a dimple chili," said she: as she pulled its little white bonnet buck, then with her face still averted, drew from her bosom a daguerreotype "you will know him by that.
