Death of Hon. O. If. Smith.
We learn tbat the Hon. OLIVER H. SMITH, one of Indiana's oldest and wisest
citizens, died at liis residence in Indianapolis, on' last Saturday night, 19th inst., at 10 o'clock, in the sixty-fifth year of his age. Mr. S. was born in Trenton, NewJersey, in Oct. 1704 came to Indiana in
1817, and located at Conncrsville—removed to Lawrenceburg, where he studied law and thence back to Connersville. After his retirement from official life, he removed to Indianapolis, and resumed the practice of law, which be continued-till bis physical systom failed him.
died on Saturday night about 10 o'clock after a tedious illness of nearly a year, which, with, gradually decreasing strength, drew hinv more and more from active duties, for several months past confined him entirely to bis house, and has at last ended his long and useful career on earth. Its
nature does not appear to have been clear' Jy marked, some of the physicians suspecting he was afflicted with diabetes, while others thought it was a prostration of Lis
nervous system, a breaking down of the vital poweis under the drain made upon them by hid long continued and exhausting labors. He died as ho lived a firm and
bincere christian." ..

The Indiana Journal in noticing the
death of this wise and good man, says, "there is not a corner of the State in which the melancholy announcement of the death of the Hon. 0. H. Smith, which we make this morning, will not wake feelings of deep and sincere sorrow. No man since
the lamented Marshall's death was more widely known or highly esteemed. His eminent public career, his great services to the cause of internal improvement, and hia unspotted private life, gave him a place in the public regard that 'few have filled, and none have filled more worthily. He

INFORMATION WANTED! We are desirous of obtaining some information i'ri relatibrito tlie wliereabouts of a man by the name' of James McJunliins, if living."" Said McJunkins, has for a few
.. years past, and until within the last few
moutlj rosi at
Newtown, Fountain
years a subscriber to our paper—"The Crawfordsville Journal"—arid as ho left that place, (rather mysteriously to us,) and without paying for said:paper, or giving us any notice in reference thereto, we fear he has met with foul play from the hands of some mid night assassin. Friend
McJunkins, leaving the country as aforesaid and it being known (doubtless, by many of these prowling demons of the land that he was a "man of money may have'been the cau^e of his untimely
end. .. We thiuk it hardly possible however, that his earthly career xvas thus ended but if so, it is but another proof of the truth of that oil anil solemn saying,
"in the midst of life we are in death."— We therefore, fchall not murmur, be the case as it may, with our dear friend. The amount due us, is only Jour dollars, and we trust, if he still lives, and his friends
should see this notice, that they will bear ns the glad tidings immediately also, inform him in some way of our fears, in reference to his case and that as soon as
it is convenient, we would be truly happy to hear from him, by letter, or otherwise, as it may best suit his convenience. More

NEWSPAPER OFFICES.
We find an articlo in a late number of
the Printers' News Letter, under the above heading, which we copy below, and commend 10 a careful and considerate perusal, of "those whom it may concern."
AVERY mistakc-n notion prevails as to the proper use to be made of newspaper offices and newspaper editors. An editorial room is generally believed to be established as a general exchange lounge, loafing place and reading room, for all the idle men of the town. However busy the editor may be, two or three or half a dozen men will enter his sanctum, overhaul his exchanges, read hia manuscripts, and enter into an animated conversation on their own affairs,' to the utter confusion of any ideas the badgered and bothered edjtor may have possessed. Every man who has a grievance, all who are unemployed, every one who proposes some fancied improvement, pverv one who wishes to pre'KOt.t his own views or his own business to the public, think it the duty of an editor to listen to their long stories, and afterwards to give them a few dollars wo th of advertising for nothing. Such are some of the popular notions ot the duties of editors and the use'of newspaper offices,5j'/*
We cannot, bf course, correct such a wide spread conviction, but it will do no harm to state our views of the subject.— A printing office or editorial room is not a place for lounging, nor is it a public reading room. The exchange papers are taken for tho editor's own use, not for that of the public. Advertising is part of the regular business of the publisher, and he does uot expect to do it gratis, any more than a man builds carriages for nothing. And, finally, an editor is not lobe considered the universal arbiter of all disputes, the general champion of all the distressed, or the mainspring of the governmet. 1' you have business with an editor, transact it with all reasonable dispatch, and leave him to attend to his duties and do not annoy him by interruptions, and by reading his manuscript, or by carrying off liis exchanges. If you have no business with him. leave him to himself. There are public libraie.3 where books and papers inay be read, and there are plenty of public pieces where friends may meet, and discuss their affairs as long as they please—it is not fair to.use on cditoiial room fot such purposes,

,S FROM WASHINGTON. WASHINGTON, Mardi 19.—All the special mud agencies seventeen in number, have just been discontinue!, and tho order granting extra compensation out of the postage, affecting about eighty Post Masters, has been revoked, owing to the failure of Congress to make the uecessary appropriations.
It is not true, as has been reported, that Post Master General Holt threatened to resign his office unless there shall be an extra eesdon of Congress called.
There is much reserve in official quarters as to the extra session and no satisfactory response has thus'far been elicited.— There is reason'to believed it is held in abeyance for the present, liable to be taken up at a future period.
There is a question penning the indecision, viz: whether the'mail service can be carried on by certificates instead of cash until Congress shall make the necessary appropriations. It is a generally accorded fact that nearly all the members of the Cabinet are opposed to tho calling of an extra session of Congress.
The compensation of the Post Masters a on in of he of ces, amount to two millions per quarter, or equal to the revenue, leaving nothing for the mail service.
It has been estimated that tho service which is absolutely necessary to be performed, will require about twice as much as the entire receipts, to say nothing of the present indebtedness.
Next month the contracts for the Southern States are to be made, and in view of the bankrupt condition of the Department it is reasonably 'supposed that ths proposals will be far less favorable than if the contractors were to frame their proposals as on a cash basis.
j£3TAn Arkansas correspondent o.f a south-paper paints this picture: Our Legislature is just closing its .session. A more indifferent body of. men never assembled in the capitol. They have turned Mr. Crease out of: the Treasurer's office, by a majority of four votes, and put in a an utterly incompetent, who cannot even spell the simplest words in the English language. They have also elected as Supreme Judg§ another man, who is a pcrfoct tyro iu the law, and who, it is said never had a case in court in his life. One of the judges resigned in conse-4 quence, uot being willing to sit with a man so unfit for the position.
That's the Legislature which passed the law ordering all free negroes remaining in tho State after certain time, to bo sold for the benefit of the school fund.
FROM WASHINGTON.
PHILADELPIA March 19.—The New oik Tribune's correspondent says a now fillibusteiing expedition against Nicaragua has been organized for tome time, and Gen. Walker's departure foi California is directly connected with it, as the enterpme will start from the Pacific side. His recent profession of the Catholic faith is believed to bo designed as a propitiation to the sentiment of Nicaragua, but will not succeed, since he is known and detected.
Gen. llenning^en's emigration scheme, ostensibly, for Aiizona, ,is supposed to be inspired by a sinister put pose, with an understanding as to a fionlier rendezvous and juncture of torres.
The net balance in the treasury according to the weekly staement is. 8700,000, but a material port-ion of this is derived from the sale of the recent loan.

^Pro-Slavery Legislation in Missouri. A bill excluding, free nergrtfes from the State before the .Missouri Legislature last wjpelr/i It passed the: House by a vote of 88 to 29}and -wQiild have become a law, had nd|(he|:Senate,Mh view of a speedy adjournr^enti posfpoired its consideration until November."pThe following are its leading provisions:
The first section declares that no slave shall be deemed to be emancipated in this State, until the person emancipating him shall give bonds with three sureties, that tho slave shall leave the State, and never return to it. All free negroes who may be residents of tho State in|eighteen hundred and sixty are declared to be slaves, and the Sheriff is authorized to sell them under the provision of. lhe .:act. All .free negroes over the age of eighteen are to be notified, on or before the first Monday of August next of the existance of this act by the sheriff of different counties, and twelve months is allowed in which to leave the State. Provision is made by which a free negro over twenty-one years of ago may solect a master or a mistress in the State, after which he is to be regarded as a slave. An apprenticeship system is established.—
The law is made applicable only to those persons who may have come into the State subsequent to the sixteenth of February, eighteen hundred and forty-seven and their decendants: nor does it apply to any free negro who may have married in another State, with the conent of the master, any slave belonging to a resident of the State.

Clover on Vhe«i,
If clover seed has not been sown lip on wheat land, wait until the frost is out of«the ground end then sow and roll well immediately after. The rolling is very beneficial to the wheat crop. The common allowance of clover seed, half peck, is not sufficient to ensure a good "set.." Put half as much more, and sow only on land that is tolerably shure to give a crop. It is very useless waste to throw this costly seed upon thin light lands unless fertilized with tho express design of producing clover. Or. all quite light lauds, it'is butter to sow field peas, or broad cast com, until tliev are higdly improved. The office of clover is to make medium lands highly productive. If the soil is very much exhausted a coat of manure should precede clover. This will insure high fertility iu a short time.

COLORING FLUIDS FOI? THE HAIR ARE Dangerous. Wood's Hair Tonic restores the color, not by the nitrate of silver process but by a restoration of the healthy functions upon which the original and natural color of the hair and itt moisture its-'gloss its life and consequently its original beauty depended. Professor Wood as the age of thirty-seven years, was as gray us a man of eighty, and his havr was dry, thin and dead. Jfow he has not a single grey lock upon his crown, nor is his hair thin or dry. but soft pliable and moist as that of n.child of five years. This prepcration acts upon the roots- for after an application, that portion of the hair nearest the scalp, is found restored to the original color whatever it was whi'c the ends of the hair are gray.— Try Wood's HAIK TOXIC and do not apply any other till after y.ou have this. With this resolution you will never have occasion to use a hair dye.
Caution—Beware of worthless imitations as several are already in the market called by different name3. Use none unless -the words (Professor Wood's Iiair Itcstorative Depot, St..Louis Mo., and New York.) are blown in the bottle.— Sold by all Druggists and Pa tent Medicine dealers.
