THE APRIL ELECTION. Monday next is the day for the election of township officers, in the varions townships of the county. Most of the townchips are to elect Justices, and each and all are to clcct Constables, Supervisors and Trustees. It is important that these offices should be filled by the light kind of men—men possessing ability and who are honest and of sound judgment and more particul'aily should this be the case in the selection of a,Township Trustee.— This is, probably, the most important office to the people, to be filled at the coming election, therefore, bhould command their especial attention.
To Candidates.
Candidates wishing tickets will please bare in mind, that each man on the ticket is expected to band us the small 6um of $1, before we can possibly do such printing.— Xaighbor Bovven, wo see, has adopted the eame plan doubtless for the same reason wa have, viz: Self preservation.. Out townships can. also be supplied with tickets on short' notice.

Connecticut Bine Laws.
MR. EDITOR:—I observe in your. last number, an article with the above heading extracted from some other paper, containing what purports to be a list of laws, commonly known as Blue Laws, among the early Statutes of the State of Connecticut. This story of the Blue Laws affords the people of the several United States no little merriment, and carries with it a reproach to the memory of the Fathers of that ancient Commonwealth. Of course the story, which has been so oft repeated, and so rarely contradicted, must be true, so at least the people generally believe.
Permit mo throngh your columns to disabuse the public mind on this subject. It will doubtless strike your readers with surprise that no such laws can be found in any of the early records of that State.— This story has been in every-body's mouth ever since the war of the Revolution, and it hao been so familiar to the public that until1 within a few years the people of Connecticut themselves were imbued with full faith in its credibility. But diligent search among the annals of that State has brought to light the fact that the whole story is a perfect fabrication, without the least shadow of tiuth in any one particular. No one has been able to traco thfcistory of these Laws farther back than the time of the publication of Peters' History of Connecticut. I quote the title of the work from memory. These Laws appear for the first time in this work, with all the appearance of historical verities at least the author gives the reader no intimation that he is stating falsehoods. Perhaps he stated as fact8 what he had received oa testimony without resorting as he should have done to the original Records for their verification. But there is a more probable account of the matter.
This Peters was an Episcapal Clergyman and a Tory iu the Revolution. On account of his loyalty to the British Government, and opposition to the American cause, he was forced to leave the country. Stung with bitter hatred to the Yankees, he put forth the History above named and incorporated in it this legend of the Bine Laws. Such was the origin of this false but widely received story.
I state the above facts from recollection. Tliose who desire more accurate information, will find it in full in Kingsley's Historical Discourse, delivered four years ago in the city of New-Haven. Copies of this Discourse are probably in uiany of our public Libraries. W. T.
Star City Wholesale Trade. We wish to direct the attention of our readers generally, and more particularly of those dealing in the articles mentioned, to the column advertisement of Messrs. REYNOLDS, HATCHER FC PEIRCE, Wholesale Grocers, Lafayette, which the Journal of that city declares is "visible to the naked eye." These gentlemen, are probably the most extensive dealecs in Groceries in the Wabash Valley and it is said, that they sell at almost as low rates, as like articles can be purchased, by small dealers, in the extreme South. There must be a slight difference 'tis true, but not enough to justify a man's going even as far south as Louisville, when be is only in want of a few thousand dollars worth. Mr. Peirce, the junior partner of this firm—by whom this stock was purchased—has been in the South the greater part of the past winter, for the purpose of becoming thoroughly acquainted with the advantages to be taken of the market which enables them this spring, to offer greater inducements llfon usual to the retail trade. When our business men are visiting the "Star City," and wish any thing in the Grocery line, they will doubtless find it to their advantage by giving this mammoth cancern a call. ,.

A DRUNKARD EATEN DP BY RATTLESNAKES. The body of a vagrant Scotchman was found a few days since, on Flat Rock near West Chazy, Clinton- eonnty. New York. Near the spot where the remains lay, is a large chasm or ledge of rocks, that has long been known as the great den of rattlesnakes, and from the trails leading between the corpse and the rocks, it is evident that the unfortunate man was killed by the serpents. The flesh was literally pick from the bones. It is supposed that the poor fellow wandered to the spot, and falling-down in a-state of unconsciousness became j»n ea^v prey to roptiTes.—- Mod.
THE WHEAT CROP.
The large majority of our exchanges speak encouragingly
tof
the growing 3?heat
crop. The indication'a at the presentstioie are that we shall lia^e ainabnndant harvest. The good prospect is already havinjg its effect on the market.—Ind. JtHtr.
We have made many inquiries of our country friends throughout this and adjacent counties, within a few days past, of their wheat prospects, and hear from them a very flattering account thereof.
In passing through Ohio, Pennsylvania and Indiaua, last week, along the lake shore route, we noticed the fine appearance of the wheat fields. They were superior, in appearance, to those in our Prairie State, between Springfield and the Wabash River. In this section of country, the ground was literally under water. Still, with! warm, dry, favorable weather from this time forward, the wheat in the Grand Prairie regions will be fair.
We need not speak of the particular localities in this region—the report eomes to us about the same. From Green and Jefferson counties, and Montgomery and the American bottom in this county, our inquiries meet with the same answer1, of a fair, a good, or an excellent prospect.—• Alton Democrat.
A New Albany paper says that,the farmers in that vicinity report the growing wheat, generally, in an excellent condition. There area few exceptions, but as a general rule the wheat at this season neyer looked better than it does at present.-j *,
A farmer who has a large number of acres in wheat, and who has been over the country consideraby within a few days past, informs the Evansville Enquirer, that the prospects of the growing wheat are brightening every day. The late rains and warm sun have greatly changed the gloomy prospects of a few weeks ago, and farmers are beginning to look hopeful.— We are told that some fields of wheat are already si* or seven inches in height.— Lafayette Courier.
The Detroit Tribune of the 23d instant says: Our exchanges from all sections of the State report the growing wheat crop to be in a most promising condition. During many years the winter wheat never looked so well in March, as at the present time. It is most likely, also, that more spring wheat will be sown than usual.
Conversation with gentlemen who have had opportunities for extended observation during the last few week, fully confirms the reports of the newspapers. A citizen of Detroit, who is a most attentive observer, as well as a throughly practical business maty and who has just returned from a tour through Ohio, Indiana, Northern Kentucky, and the Southern counties of Michigan, says that during his entire experience he has never known such a uniform promise of a good crop, as exists at present. The peculiarity of the season is that there appears to be scarcely any poor fields. It is not merely in advantageous locations, but throughout entire sections, that this favorable condition of the crop, prevails. Of course it is far too early to predict any calculation of the next yield, but we can safely say that if present appearances are not disturbed by some untoward calamity, the next crop of wheat will be unequaled in this country. ^sgKTlie growing wheat crop of Illinois is said to have greatly improved under recent favorable weather.
Traveling from Kansas to Michigan to Whip a Man. An incident occurred in Pittsford, Hillsdale county, a few days since, worth relating. A scoundrel by tho name of Perrin has been in the habit for a number of years of maltreating, whipping and otherwise abusing his wife, a highly accomplished, intelligent and beautiful woman. A brother of the lady, residing near Elwood, Kansas, lately received a letter in which his sister's sufferings were so vividly painted, that it at once aroused his long smothered indignation. Scarcely waiting to bid his family good bye, he hastened with all his speed of steam and tide, in order to take the law into his own hands, or in other words, in true Border Ruffian style, to give the fellow a downright thrashing.-— This ha accomplished to his entire satisfaction, and left with a promise to visit him again should occasion require it. He is now on his way home, with a happy consciousness of duty done, and foeling, as he says, more like a Christian than he did when he came.
The knight of the cudgel is no border ruffian, but on the contrary, is one of the strongest advocates of the Republican principles, while Perrin adheres to modern Democracy and beautifully illustrates its principles.
A
A Loss of Three Thousand Lives. Near Taganrog, on the Sea of Azoff, a catastrophe occurred, about the beginning of February last, which involved a loss of life unparalleled, except by memorable earthquakes or volcanic eruptions. It appears that some three thousand inhabitants of Taganrog, relying upon the promise of fair weather made by the genial atmosphere and the cloudless sky, proceeded to the Azoff Sea to indulge in the sport of fishing beneath the ice—a favorite pastime in that region. The atmosphere continuing serene, the party were lulled into a feeling of security, and ventured farther than usual upon the ice, in the hope of obtaining a good haul. Suddenly a breeze sprung up from the east, which, growing boisterous by degrees, whirled the loose snow and fine particles of ice in all directions «fc before long succeeded in detaching the ice from the shore. The large ice-field then broke into numerous pieces, which, with their terrified and helpless human freight, drifted toward the open sea. No assistance could be rendered the unhappy beings by the frantic relatives and friends on shore, and within two hours not a sign of life was visible on the surface of the sea. On the following day a cake of ice drifted to the shore upon which were five of the unfortunates—three of them dead, and the other two numb and insensible. The two latter—a girl and an old man—were restored by means of the usual appliances, the girl, however, survived but a few hours the man recovered, hut lost tho iise of his tongue—a consequence probably, of fright caused by the scene be had passed .through. He prepared a written, narrative of occurrences of that fearful night on the Azoff.
By this catastrophe at least three thousand persons found a vatcy grave,—Boston Pcxi.

A SABLE SICKLES CASE.—On Sunday, near Leesburg, Va., a slave named Sam, belonging to W. H. Gray. .* deliberately shot and killed Bill, a slave of J. D. Wildman. It appears, fiom a letter in the Washington Star, that Bill formerly paid attentions to a colored/woman,, who a few months ago, married Sam.^ The latter, after his marriage, wiarried Bill to keep out her company. On Sunday, however, Bill, in passing Sam's house, was invited by his wife. Sam soon after entered, and a fight immediately ensued, which resulted in the jealous husband seizing a gun, and putting the whole charge through the body of Bill, killing, him almost instantly.
AN OLD MAN CHARGED WITH MURDER.—A correspondent of the Petersburgh Express, writing from Pitt county, N. C., says: •Wiley Smith, aged seventy-eight year*, was indicted for the murder of another man named Smith,, a distant relative, and nearly as old aR the murderer. A sad affair, truly—and what is most remarkable about it is, that it is said the foul deed was prompted by jealousy! The criminal had his trial removed to the county of Beaufoft. It will take place in May.
A Little Child Lost in the Mountains. The Gettysburg Pa., Compiler gives an account of the loss of a little boy four years of age, a son of Mrs Oyler, of Cumberland county. He strayed from home, and the whole neighborhood started out on the search, scouring the surrounding mountains throngh the day, displayed lighted torches after night. After two days and nights, the dead body of the little fellow was discovered nearly nine miles from home. The Compiler then adds.
The little dog which had been the child's playmate and which had accompanied him in his long and fatal journey, was found nestled in the child's bosom, with his head reclining on his cold and lifeless form.— The faithful dog had tramped quite a path around the lifeless body of the innocent, thus betraying the affection that it had for the youth, and in its fond carets had licked back the hair on the child's* lorehead. The corpse was conveyed home to its weeping mother, who under tho peculiar afflicting circumstances, was almost frantic with grief.
DEATH OF A BRIDEGROOM.—A young man named Myron Reed, a resident of Tully, Onondago County, N. Y. was engaged to a Miss Louisa Brown of the same town, and the celebration of their nuptials was to have occurred on Monday the 14th inst. On Saturday, while paying a visit to his betrothed, Mr! Reed took up a letter and proceeded to persue it. Thinking he was occupying a long time in its persual, the young lady spoke to him, but ha did not answer, she Went nearer and spoke louder, but when she came near to him discovered that he was a corpse! Reed was buried on Monday—the very day fixed for his marriage. Ho was arrayed in his wedding costume for burial, and his betrothed followed him to the tomb in her bridal attire.
Everlasting Fire.
About two years ago a declivitous slope, on the margin of the James river, near the Petersburg railroad bridge, was made the place of deposit for cinders from the Tredegar Works, at the instance of the owner, Mr. James Thomas, who desired to improve it. The deposit was continued from time to time, till a large level surface was formed, and it was then discontinued in consequenco of the discovery that the .substrata of cinders originally deposited had ignited! The whole mass, several feet below the surface, is now on fire, and has been for some months, causing a settling of that part near the river. Very little smoke is emitted from this subterraneous combussion, but the surface is very hot, and in many places it is cracked with fissures. The' fact that this fire has been progressing for so long a time, in the manner described, is certainly a little extraordinary. —Richmond Whig.
Threatened Rebellion i« Canada. We have received an ably written circular from Oakville, Canada West, signed Wm. M. King, in which the present Government is sharply handled, and a separation from the Hoine Government boldly advocated in the event of the success of some of the measures urged by those now in power. It refers, approvingly, to the action of those Colonies under similar circumstances, and insists that the time is at hand when like action should and must be taken by the people of Canada. It urges some member of Parliment (if the new tariff succeeds) to propose in the House that it is "expedient to dissolve all governmental connection with Great Britain, that the Union between Upper and Lower Canada be dissolved, and that immediate 9teps be taken that Upper
Canada
may become a
State of the United States." The ciiculaj" is addressed to "The Honorable the Attorney General of Canada West," and large numbers have been printed for circulation.-—AXbany Evening Journal, 21 st.

COLORING FLUIDS FOR 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 as a man of eighty, and his bair was dry, thin and dead. Now 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 a child of five years. This preperation 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'e the ends of the hair are gray.— Try Wood's HAIK TOXIC and do not apply any other till after you 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 names. Use none unless the words (Professor Wood's Hair Restorative Dcj)ot, St. Louis Mo., and New York,) are blown in the bottle.— Sold by all Druggists and Pa tent Medicine dealers. Also by ali Fancy and Toilet Goods dealers in the United States and Canadas.
