This distinguished individual having business, of a private nature to attend to in the Western part of this State, will leave Cinciniiti in the course of a week, for Vincennes; and on tit return about the last of this month wilt pass through this ptace. Cobb's School Books. We would call the attention of our readers to an advertisement in our columns, under the above title. Copies of Cobb's Abridgement of Walker's Dictionary; Juvenile Readers, No. 1, 2, and 3; Sequel to the Juvenile Reader; Cobb's Spelling Book; The Expositor; Cobb's First Hook; Arithmatical Rules and Tables; ind Explanatory Arithmetics. No. 1 and 2, have been laid upon our table for examination. We hive examined these books, and feel willing to add cur testimony to those respectable names which appear in the advertisement. Although we are aware of the trouble to teachers, and the cost to p&rents and guardians, and the great complaint generally on the introduction of new Books, into our common schools, yet, we think these books are worthy of commendation. From a cursory examination we believe the Dictionary has been compiled with great care and accuracy. The Franklin County on next Monday week. Probate Court convenes Small Pox. It is stated in the last Richmond Palladium, that the Small Pox prevails to some extent in the Western part of Wayne county, la., and that several deaths have occurred from it. A Foundling. From an esteemed Correspondent at Dloonrington, la., we learn that a molatto tbild, 2 or 3 years of age, was found a few days ince, in the vicinity of that place, hanging upon a buh alive. It was taken down, and carried to Mr Moore's house, in the neighborhood. Our corres pondent continues to 6ay, that it eeems to be an iwlated object in the human family. Should it row up, who shall it call my brother or my sisterl It may claim heirship to the nobility of the country, and who can dispute its claims Though the line of its ancestry is mysteriously hidden from it, yet it it not without a name. The circumstances, under which it was found, after the customs of the Hebrews, suggusted to Mrs. Moore the name by which it will hereafter be distinguished among men, to-wit: .Moses Bush. Voses, in allusion to the great Jewish Lawgiver, who was also a foundling, and Bu$h, in allusion to the bush in which it was found. Who know s, but this child, like its illus trious namesake, may yet stand up in defence of its colored brethren, and lead them from the land of bondage to inherit the land of their fathers. Antiquities of Arkansas. Arkansas, in common with many other places of the West has its antiquities; and they are surely most puztling enigmas to the historian and antiquary. A letter from a gentleman, now residing in that Territory, to a friend in Ohio, gives some account of these accumulated remains. It lays: "This country was once inhabited; and I propound this question to your antiquarians: henand by whom? Two miles from this, n the banks of White river, you can see the "rick foundations of houses. Six miles from this, six hundred and forty acres are enclosed j. a wall, and in the centre there is a circular building. North of this there are the ruins fa city; parallel streets crossing each other at right angles, may be traced by brick foundations, a mile in length. The bricks are taped like modern bricks." Appointment by the Post Master t m.Rachael B. Packer, (widow of General the late muel J. Packer, Esq.) to be Post Mistress fcunbury, Pa. in the room of J. G. Martin, fcsq- resigned. Mexico.

Nearlv all the surveys authorized by the last'Legislature 'have been commenced, and will be completed, if possible by the meeting of the next. We have not understood the opinion of the Engineers who have made a cursory examination of the whole route, but are nf nnininn Cr.l through that section or country will lie found impracticable, and a rail road or turnpike improvement, both of which are brought within the estimates of the Engineers, by the law directing the surveys wiTl..be"determined on. The information to be obtained by these surveys will be valuable, whether Tthe slate thinks proper to prosecute all the works contemplated or not. They will serve as a beacon to direct the Legislature in their proceedings on the all important subject ofjlnternal Improvement. Republican & Banner. Accident. XJrtfndianopolis mail stage from Cincinnati, on Wednesday iast, when crossing White-water, was nearly washed away the horses getting into deep water had to be cut loose from the stage. After a delay of two or three hoiirss the horses, stage, and passengers and mail were got out and proceeded on their journey. There were several female passengers. Weekly Messenger. AGRICULTURAL SOCIETIES. We are pleased to see in Feveral of our exchange papers, notices calling public meetings for the purpose of organizing agricultural societies. The good results produced by the formation of these societies, in the older states of the Union, ought to induce every lover of Indiana to come forward and exert his influence in the cause of agricultural science. The object of these societies is to collect and diffuse all possible information in relation to the various improvements making in the arrangement of farms, the culture of the ground, the growth and improvement of stock oi every description. What subiect lean be addressed to the intelligent and inaustnous larmcr, winch oufrht to ensrairc more ardently his feelings than thisT His c? r fortune, and his reputation is based upon it We invite the attention of the citizens of this county, particularly the farmers, to the con siderauon of the propriety of forming agriculimai am.it.uc5. i ms uoue, our citizens win not have to travel to Kentucky or Ohio, to witnessne fof the grandest exhibitions the west can produce, an Annual Fuir. No, w e will have them at home, and the good result win oe ours. JHadison Jiepublican. Jero York City has a greater population than either of the States of Rhode Island, Delaware, Mississippi, Louisiana, Illinois, or iiissoun. Congress having neglected to pass a bil for the establishment of a Marine Hospital at Wilmington, N. C.Vhere such an establish ment is certainly very much needed, the citizens of that town, with a spirit that does them the highest credit, have established one themselves. A subscription was set on foot and the sum of fifteen hundred dollars was very soon subscribed as a fund for sick and disabled Seamen. Chinese Proclamation. The follow in e is a 1'roclamation ot one ot the emperors of China when he arrived at the age of three scorn and ten. "I will, that one child or relation of every man aged seventy, be exempted from road work and military service in order that an old man may always have some body to wait upon him. I give to every man aged cighty,one piece of silk a pound of cotton, ten bushels of meat. The old men from eighty to one hundred, must receive double o this; but those of one hundred I must be acquainted with myself, and scatter upon them with my own hands the blessings, 1 in tend them. Mr. Editor. A youfg gentleman of this cit-has nearly completed an Air tun, which he thinks will supersede all other guns; it is so constructed that by turning a crank which can be done by a boy, it will discharge sixtv balls per mintlte,and that with a force of 130 pounds on each ball; the balls are' pla ced in a funnel on the top of the gun from which they run in as last as they are dischar ged. On the same principle he intends to invent a musket, and on the same principle balls of any size can be discharged by any person Be careful what you say to printers. Not lone since, a promising citizen, on familiar terms with the printer, on opening his morn ing paper, read to his utter astonishment, his own name in the following connection. "DIED athis'residence in this town yester day, Mr. , aged , a promising citizen much lamented." Not being fully convinced of the truth of the statement, with all speed he repaired to the office to ascertain the author of the deadly libel. 4What!you here!' says lype. 'Did j you not say if you lived you would fulfil your oprmisc last nichtT You must be in error

a man of vour word, you must nave aiea go home, sir, lor uecenr s sake go home and be buried;" The man wns reminded of hi? remissness, and we never heard'that he ever after lo!"got his promise, to the printer. He was better pleased wtih the joke when he learnt that his death was only inserted in the copy which was sent him. For the Indiana American. There is a kind of dignity in the warm passions of the patriot, which is never to be found in the cold bosom of selfishness and envy. In the ,one na ture is oniy nested in trie other poisoned: The nstantthe former has it in his power to Dunish. he feels a disposition to forgive; but the canine venom t the latter knows no relief but reverie-e. This general distinction, I helieve, will be found to ap ply in all cases, and in all countries. Nor do I know of an instance, in which' thin distinct!, kna been more obviously displayed than in the recent circumstances which have occurred in this place. Whoever has been in the habitjof reading the "In quirer, must have observed its repeated and uncalled for attacks, not only'on the editor of Ameri can, the citizens of this place generallv,(not in p.. 1 1. .ewjuage wuccu, oui oy cowaroiyj insinuations,) and to cap the climax its late strictures upon the note of Esq. Wamsley, and also the pacific and forgiving manner in which those, and other attacks of the Inquirer, have been passed over, by niube Hi wiRiin mey were aimed. JNot a word has oeen nearu in reply, but the unoffending note of Ubserver" in reply to the attack on En. Warn. sley. And what has been the consequence of that) The sceptre of the Inquirer has been aroused!! Observer has been charged with cowardice and a disposition to injure the paper!!! Pro pudor. May 1, Ib.io. OBSERVER. A Good Hit The Mobile Jl a gentleman lately arrived in that citv from me monn, ana Deing asKea now it happened he was three days ahead of the mail, gravely replied,"! got out of the stage and walked." Pollilical Morality. The New Orleans Bee says "The principal objection we have heard urged against the abolition of the earriblinc laws, is mat it would De lound rather difficult to compensate the state for the loss of revenue consequent on the withdrawal of licenses." Upon the same pinciple it would be sound policy for a government to grant special icense to robbers, who could afford to pa a better revenue than gamblers. Philadelphia Guietlc. "Honor is the Subject of my Story.''' A coupe of young geniuses named Ogden and Judah got into a dispute at a public ball a few nights since the lie was given and returned and the parlies agreed to settle the business on the "field of honor." They accordingly repaired to Iloboken on Sunday morning, with their seconds. The pistols were loaded and the ground measured off. "Will you make an apology? ' said one. "I will not,'' said the other. Each then "Looked at sky, and sun, and plain, As what they ne'er might 6ee aarain." and prepared for shot. Judah fired and missed his man. Ogden fired his pistol in the air, and the parlies shook hands and declared their "honor was satisfied." The best of the joke is, one of them swears he'll challenge us if we publish the affair. Poor fellow, if he sends us a challenge we'll wrap him up in the enlarged sneet oi trie Uouner and Enquirer, anu sen mm lor paper rags. own. Congress. During the last week, the Cir cuit Court was in session at New Castle, in Henry county. so very important business. James Rarden, Esqr., and Gen. Jonathan McCarty, candidates for representative in Congress for this district, were there, and each of them treated the sovereign People, there collected, with a SMump Speech. We have not leisure to make out an abstract of both or either of their addresses. Suffice it to say, that we were pleased with both of the efforts. Whilst listening to them we felt hot a little pride in the reflection that which ever one of them, a majority of the Voters of the District may be disposed to select for their Represen tative he will make them a very creditable member ol Congress. Conn; IVatchman The Editor of the New Yoik Courier and Enquirer says he has been compelled to en large his sheet to double its usual size, to make room for advertisements. After leaving out 1U or oU per day, he sums up the week s pat ronage at the very comfortable number of 1997 new advertisements! How these New York Editors swim they literally live in gra vy, jiineiccn nunarea new aaverusemenis in one week! How much like a step-mother, dame lortune dispenses her favors. Here, in the west, an Editor would bless his stars, and consider himself born under the most lucky planet, were he a able to count in his sheet, at the end of a year, one half of 1900. But so it is, and we see no way to mend the matter, unless we make a New York of our own; which, by the favor of Providence, with a good soil, salubrious climate, and untiring industry we hope to see in a few years".
