LAWRENCEBURGH.
FRIDAY, OCTOBER 28, 1825.
New Orleans papers up to the 30th Sept have been received. The market still con
tinucs dull, there being little demand for
produce other than for city consumption
Flour has fallen somewhat in consequence of the quantity arrived from up the river;
sales were at 5 50 per barrel. Whiskey
plenty and dull; sales at from 20 to 24 cents per gallon. Arrived during the season
32,533 barrels. Tobacco, 1st quality. 6 1-2
to 7 2d do. 5 1-2 to 6 X and suspended, 4 1-2 to 5 bale, 7 to 8. Stock on hand,
1042 hogsheads.
Wc.are sorry to learn that the ravages of
the weevil have been so great as to destroy,
in many cases, through this part of the coun try, the farmers' whole crop of wheat, re
ducing them to the disagreeable necessity
of either using corn or purchasing wheat at
an advanced price, which its scarcity will
doubtless occasion. We learn that the de
struction is not confined to this district, but
has been extended, by this mischievous in
sect, to a number of the western & southern
states. In some parts of Kentucky, Illinois,
and Missouri, good wheat cannot be had, al
eaten and damaged in such a manner as to
leave it worth nothing the hog, whose sto
mach appears capacitated for any thing that
can be eaten, turns from it with sullen dis dain, tho' hunger urge him to eat.
Simon de Escudero, a citizen of the Mexican
Republic, and a deputy in the Provincial
Congress of the state of Chihuahua.
He is the bearer of letters to the authoriies of this state and of the United States,
which show xm official station which he holds at home, and also of a communication
rom the governor of New Mexico, in which he latter forcibly urges upon the U. States
the necessity of co-operating with him for
he purpose of putting arj end to the robbe
ries and murders which the Indians commit
between Missouri and Mexico, and which
are so prejudicial to the commerce carried
on between the two countries. 1 ne mam object, however, of Senor Escudero, is to
makehimself acquainted with the people and
nstitutions of the United States, for which
purpose he proposes to remain about twelve
months.
We regret to state that he was a large
loser by the audacious robbery which the
Usages committed about a month ago, and
of which we have heretofore given an ac
count. Among other suhV.rers he has verified his loss, and laid in his cl-iim before the
Superintendent.Gen. Clark, who will doubt
less exert all tue power oi Ins oltice to pro
cure complete indemnification.
W e have stated that Senor Escudero was
from the state of Chihuahua, the former
province of New Biscay, of which the city
of Chihuahua was the capital, having lost ils
name under the Republic, and the province transformed into a state, has taken the name
of its capital. The official papers are in the
name of the "Free, sovereign, and independent state of Chihuahua," and are stamped
with the words "God and Liberty.

The form of the sword is oval, and the part which remained in the ship's plank was about 1 2 inches in circumference. The part which perforated the cask completely rilled the hole which it made, so as to prevent any leakage of the oil with which it was filled.
Melancholy Accidents. A heart rending
scene occurred in Junius on Friday last.
Mr. Jacob Peters, and Mr. William Steel,
both young men of South Waterloo, Fayette,
were hunting together in the woods east of
Seneca alls. Peters had fired at a squirrel
on a tree, wnich alterwards attempted to run
down. He and his companion ran towards the spot, with a view to prevent the came
H orn escaping, when tne ntle oi Steel, prob
ably being cocked, accidentally went olfand shot Peters, who immedately expired, Mr.
Steel ran out of tne woods into a field, hallooing in distress; those who heard him, at tirsu supposed he might be playing some trick tiii finally he apparently fainted and fell. It
was some lutle time before he recovered so as to tell what was the matter. The fatal pot was sought for but could not be found, until Mr. Steel so far came to his rational senses, as to he able to lead the wav. As soon as he came in sight of the body overcome by grief and distraction, he again fainted. A coroner inquest was held, and no blame was attached lo the unfortunate and discoi isolate survivor. The ball broke an arm, passed through the chest, and lodged agar.st the skin on the opposite side. We also learn that a young woman in Ovid, on Thursday or Friday last, who had been peaiir.g peaches, rose from her seat with a knife in her hand, stepped on some pearings 'ud slipped down, when falling the knife accidentally entered her side and caused her death in the space of 1 2 hours. Truly, eve in the midst of health, we are sur.ouiuled by death in a thousand forms. Seneca Farmer.

Muriatic Acid in the Stomach. The an

tice trom Mr. Children on the chemical na
ture of the acid found in the human stomach.
The distressing disorder of the digesthc function, termed dyspepsia, has been com
monly ascribed to the prevalence of acetou. acid in the stomach; hut for the purpose of

Mr. Bruce, the contractor for removing
the snags and sawyers in the Ohio, arrived
at this place on Tuesday 1 tst, removing in his progress logs and trees which have stood
firm and immovable time out of mind. It is eomewhat doubtful, however whether the
expectations of the government will be rea
lized by the completion of this work. In
some places the navigation will be benefited
in others it will not. Should the stumps o
those trees which have been cut off, retain
the position they assumed when their top
were removed, they would be more danger
ous to steam navigation than if the whole tree was there, for then it could be discovered
and avoided It is not our wish to sugges
any thing calculated to prejudice others a
gainst the work; time alone can determine its utility, we shall therefore leave it to be tested in that way. From the Richmond Enquirer.

on the acid ejected from the stomach, and found it to be the muriatic acid, and not lh acetous. Mr. Children says "An acquaintance of mine who occasionally suffers severely from dyspepsia, and was somewhat sceptical as to Dr. Prout s conclusions, lately requested me to examine the lluid ejected from his stomach, during a violent dyspeptic paroxysm the day before, with the view of ascertaining the nature of the free acid it contained. The fluid which had been thrown from the stomach in the morning fasting, when filtered, was perfectly transparent and nearly colourless: it gave a decided red tint to litmus paper. I distilled about six ounces of it almost to dryness, at a gentle heat, receiving the product in three separate equal portions. One half of each portion was treated with nitrate of silver.
The first had no effect on litmus paper, and scarcely gave the slightest cloud with the test. The second became slightly coloured by the test, but was equally without any action on the blue paper. The third portion reddened the paper strongly, and produced an abundant dense cloud, when I dropped
into it the nitrate of silver, and a pretty co-
