LAWRENCEBURGH. SATURDAY, JUNE 14, 1828. The press of matter has crowded out the Cincinnati Prices Current for the last two weeks. The following notice of the leading articles in it, may be interesting to our readers: Coffee, best, lb. 16 to 17 cts. Flour, .bbl.3 18 to 3 37 1-2 Flax seed, bushel, 37 1-2 to 40 cts. Hemp, 5 50 to G cwt. Pork, mess,bbl. 9 Bacon hams, 1J). 6 to 7 cts. Cheese lb. 8 to 10 cts. Suar, N. Orleans, lb. 8 1-2 to 10 cts. Whiskey, gal. 17 1-2 to 19 cts. A man by the name of Francis Carson, a resident of Petersburgh Ky. we learn was drowned in the Ohio river, on Tuesday evening last, a short distance below Aurora. He had, as we are informed, been in the river swimming or bathing and came out, but shortly after re-entered it, declaring an intention of swimming

Fire, The house of Joseph Norris, of Laughery township in this county, was entirely destroyed by fire about noon on Saturday the 7th inst. So rapid wras the progress of the flames, fanned by a strorg , wind, that the inmates were

i r j i. haste and bustle of the moment. One :":: person who was un stairs at the time me nre commenced, escaped without in jury by jumping out of a window in the upper story. It remains a matter ofi conjecture how the fire originated, the first intimation given was a furious flame) issuing from a bundle of flax on the upper floor. By this accident a large and worthy family have been reduced to the necessity of seeking shelter and homes under the friendly roofs of their neighbors. LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR. In noticing, in our last, the nomination of Col. Aeel'C. Pepper, as a candidate for Lieutenant Governor, we expressed a doubt whether he would consent to be so considered ; it gives us much pleasure to be able thus early to put this matter beyond doubt, by the insertion of the following note received by the editors: Rising Sun, June 12A, 1828. Messrs. Gregg &l Culley: Gentlemen, you are authorized to say, I decline being a candidate for the Senate: and consent to be announced as a candidate for Lieutenant Governor. Yours Respectfully, ABEL C. PEPPER. In announcing to the citizens of Indi. ana an individual for the second office in their gift, it might be expected that we, residing in the same section of the country with Col. Pepper, would accompa. nv his name with some remarks calcula ted to draw public attention on him. Such a course we deem unnecessary. The public stations to which the confidence of his fellow-citizens in this county have raised him, (affording opportunities of forming acquaintances throughout the state,) and the ability with which he discharged the duties devolving upon him, are much stronger evidences of his talents and integrity, than any thing we could say in his behalf. It may be proper to say, that it is not our wish to be understood as drawing invidious distinc tions between Col. Pepper and his competitor Gen. Stapp ; for however much we may wish the success of the former, we could never consent to descend to the use of dishonorable and unfair means to accomplish our desire. As public men and as private citizens they stand high in the estimation of those who know them ; and both have received attentions marked with the respect due to either station. As it respects the abilities of these gentlemen, we feel satisfied that either possesses pre-eminently the requisite qualifications to enable him to preside over the deliberations of the Senate with honor to himself and satisfaction to the public

Indianapolis, June 5. We wefe informed by a respectable gentleman from Illinois, who passed thro' this place a few days since That between the 18th and 25th of May, a rencontre took place at the mouth ef Spoon river, on the Illinois, between 5 white men and 15 or 20 Potawatamie Indians which resulted in the death of three of the latter. The Indians it seems had procured whiskey, got drunk and broke

open a house in the neighborhood, and went to the mouth of Spoon, where there is a ferrv kept, and demanded more whiskey on being refused, they drew their knives and attacked the whites to take it by force, who repelled them with clubs. After the Indians had lost three of their number, they ran to their camp for their guns. No further difficulties occurred. The above is in substance as we received it. Journal, JYfzy York is infested by a gang of in cendiaries, who have lately caused several destructive tires. On the evening of Monday last, a fire broke out in Cham bers -ind Underbill livery stable in Bay ard street, at about a quarter past 6 'clock. The wind blew fre hly from the south west, and in a few minutes six or seven wooden huildin s in the vicinity were involved in flames. The firemen could not prevent their progress, the buildings being full of combustible materials. The fire was soon communicated tr the T i- n ri' f h r, .-, f no KntK ings beyond were also consumed with much rapidity, being full of ardent spirits. Mrs. Gilfert was to have taken a benefit on the night the theatre was destroyed, and it must be considered a fortunate circumstance that the fire broke out before the audience assembled, which it was expected would be numerous, otherwise many individuals might have per ished by th "V J ' 5 ih rnlMmirv- I fin tnpntrp. inew house is to be immediate I'm -L I -11. i lely erected.

The Danube had not jbeen parsed by the Russians, and they have deferred the crossing of the Pruth for one month. The delay is attributed to the late proceedings of the allies. Ibrahim Pirha has destroyed the fortifications of Navarino and Mudon. The last papers received, contain a proclamation from count Capo D?Istria, en joining the inhabitants of Greece to aid in delivering the Archipelago from piracy, and also a decree for the establish ment of a national bank. The bri Herald sailed from New York forGreece on Wednesday morning last. Her cargo was valued at 50,000 at least. Mr. Sfuvvesant, judgn Woodruff, of Conn, and the rev. Mr. King went passenger in the H. which will touch at Malta on her way. The French troops have began to evacuate Spain, Don Miguel, though exercising all the powers of an absolute monarch, has not as yet proclaimed himself as such. .

National Journal, The good people of the township of Urmston, being persuaded of the superiority of the "petticoat form of government" to all others, have, for two successive years, made choice of a female constable, as a "terror to evil doers," within theboundsof the township, Last

year they elected Miss Clementina Trafford, who, in person, or by deputy, discharged the office to the high satisfaction of the inhabitants; and the appointment of Miss Catherine Newton, as constable for the ensuing year, was, last week, duly confirmed by the Court and Jury at the Salford leet! English Paper, Lake superior, According to the late

surveys of the boundary between the United States and Canada, about one thousand rivers and streams empty them selves into this enormous inland sea. It is intimated that an elevation of nine feet in the waters of this lake would cause them to flow over the source of the Mississippi, instead of running in their presentdirection. An earthquake, such as was experienced in Chili in 1822, might be attended with tremendous consequences to that region of country. It is said merchants at New-York, on the idea that the new duties were none of them to take effect till the 1st of Sept. had put orders on board their late packet for goods, to come before that time; but on discovering the error,sent a steam boat to Sandy Hook, where the packet was found, and the orders taken out Richmond la.
