IiAWRENCEBURGH. SATURDAY, DEC. 5, 1829.

Aolice. The 5th volume or year of me raiiamum ending on the 2d of Janary next, it is deemed proper to notify and request all subscribers who may wish to discontinue at that time, to signify Jhe same to the editor, at or previous to the end of the year. Those who do not, will be entered on the subscription book for 1830, and considered subscribers for that year. We would take it as a particular fa"vor to be early advised by those at whose residence packets are usually deposited, of all cases of neglect on the part of subscribers to receive their papers as directed; as also of the inability of such as may be considered doubtful. The responsibility of deciding on the ability of a neighbor to pay for a paper, we are aware is delicate, and one which some feel a backwardness to incur. We hope, however, that this will oot deter any one from doing us the kindness desired. The want of information on these points has caused us much loss, for it is impossible to tell unaided the wishes of subscribers residing at a distance,or their ability to pat. la many instances our paper has been forwarded 6, 9 and .12 months to persons either dead, runaway , refusing to receive, or unable to pay, before it was known to us. That we may not be misunderstood in these remarks, we would observe in conclusion, as a meed of justice to the more humble in circumstances among our subscribers, that to them we are much indebted for the support we have received, because it has been generally seasonable and to the extent of their ability. Sam Patch's last jump This wonder of the western world, made his last grand leap of 125 feet, over the Genesee falls, on the 13ih ult. His body struck the water obliquely, and sunk to rise no more to life. It is supposed, however, that Sam was dead before reaching the water, as about midway the height, his boCJ V Was nhsprvrrl (n nccnmo I'rrcnulor J ' " -w v 14 Ml 1 J 'I If 1 1 position, and his legs and arms to relax and swing about in a loose and unusual manner. Pennsylvania Legislature. A bill has passed the house of representatives, and been sent to the senate for concurrence, authorising the Governor to negotiate a one, for canal and rail road purposes. of one million of dollars, bearing an interest of 5 per cent, and payable in 6ix months. New paper. By the desire of ita edi lor, we give place to the prospectus of the "Western Statesman and Agricultural Register," a new paper to be established in this place. We have the authority of the Western Time!?, for saying that it will be "decidedly opposed to the present administration." Come on ftl'Duff. Pay your postage. Persons addressing letters to the editor, on business connec ted with the paper, are requested to pay the postage if they wish them attended to. This is a small matter to writers, but to the editor it would be the saving of a heavy tax in the course of the year. He will always be pleased to receive through the post office, contributions to his columns to bis subscription list or even a polite request to discontinue, after payment of the old score but should not be expected to pay postage on such favors. Several communications, addressed to the editor, are now undergoing quarantine at the post office, previous to visiting Washington city; and all others coming through the same channel, will be subject to a like restriction, unless Uncle Sam's fees are paid before they arrive here. Our neighbor, the editor of the Western Times, seems to consider it as a matter of certainty, that the conductors of the State Gazette have received the appointment of printers "By authority," as a reward of their desertion from his cause; and on the presumption, takes occasion to 6ay some hard things of the administration. This administration, as well as the best that preceded it, has its faults; but the sin attributed to it of buying over ita i enemies doea not, in oar

opinion, form one of tbem. Whatever the inducements may have been, which prompted the conductors of the State Gazette to apostatize, we have good reasons for believing that none were held out to them by the administration or its friends, nor have they received any reward therefor. Aside from an aversion

in the administration to favor enemies or doubtful friends, we are strengthened in this opinion by a knowledge of the fact, that heretofore the appointment of printers, to publish the U. S. Laws, has not been made until December or January in each year; and it is not at all probable that Mr.. Van Buren has made any change in the practice of his depart ment, in this respect. The imposing words ' By authority? stuck over an advertisement in the Gazette, and which, probably led the editor of the Times into error, were nothing but a feint, a cob-web, throwu out by the conductors to deceive the public, as to their standing with the Secretary of State. It is even questionable whether they were authorised to publish the advertisement so conspicuously displayed; though it is possible that the commissioner of the general land cffice requested them so to do, as he has in a number of cases, without inquiring whether the papers designated were authorised or tinjauthoriacd, as it respected the printing of the United States' laws. We hope the editor of the Times will, in future, be cautious how he introduces the State Gazette as evidence for or against the administration: it is a doubtful concern, and questionable authority in matters of politics. "O wad some pov'r the giftie gie us, To see oursels as others see ua! It wad frae inonie a blunder free 08, And foolish notion." The conductors of the State G azette V f Ik . ft a alter careiuily reviewing their past conduct and taking a peep in the mirror of public opinion, have very sagely con eluded to become modest and discreet in their deportment towards their bretl r ii a m i - it ii ren or me iype. l ins is an wen enough;and if they stick to the profession it will be better. The causes which have produced this change in the manners of these men, reminds us of a fable we once read , running some how thus: "An old man found a rude boy" the fable is too long to relate. The moral however is, that people sometimes make a virtue of necessity and become very meek and bumble when they can't help it. The editors of the Gazette when they first bloomed out on an imperial, thought to knock down all opposition but found themselves sorely mistaken. A few well directed shots from a hand, that never yet held common cause with the enemy, tore away two of their principal columns, doused their flag, and reduced them to the hard necessity of crying out for quarter. We grant it them, on condition they never again appear under borrowed colours, on pain of capture and confiscation. The pitiful insinuation thrown out in the last shot from the locker of Mr. Kinnard,is returned as applicable to himself. It is well known, though our par agraphs are often clumsily and badly ar ranged, we do our own writing. No person is permitted incognitio to palm his opinions on the readers of the Palla dium as our productions. Can the wise editor of the State Gazette say as much? We think he dare not; for it is well known at the seat of government that he stands sponsor or god-father (in his edi torial capacity) to more illegitimates, than ever crazed the pious brain of king Solomon. The allusion to the late elec tion, we shall let pass as unworthy of notice; where we are known it needs none where we are not, we are willing Mr. Kinnard shall have the benefit of his invention. Pennsylvania. The two houses met at Harrisburgh on the 3d of this month, in pursuance of the Governor's proclamation. Daniel Sturgeon as re-elect ed Speaker of the Senate, without oppo sition; and on the 6th vote, Frederick Smith, of Franklin, was elected Speaker of the House. Gov. ShultE, in his message, enters at length into the financial concerns of the State, as connected with its public improvements now in progress, and expresses a sanguinary belief that 400 miles of the Pennsylvania Canal. will be in full operation early next summer.

Hot Springs of the Arkansas. A writer in the Little Rock Gazette gives the following description of the hot springs of Arkansas:

The springs are about 5 miles in a direct line from the Washita river, and a quarterof a degree north of the Louisiana line. They break out of the side of a mountain, are very numerous, and abundant in water; indeed, they burst out every where in the sides and bottom of a very pretty little creek into which they all run. It is said they are 70 in number. They are so numerous, and their heat so great, that after two or three weeks of dry weather, the creek becomes too hot to bathe in, opposite the springs, and bathers go an 8th or a quarter of a mile below, where the warmth is bearable. The exact temperature we could not ascertain; but it exceeds 150 degrees of T1 a . . m 1 i a rarenneit thermometer, i should judge the warmest spring to have a tem perature of 180 degrees, rractical persons will recognise the degree of heat by the fact that the water will readily scald the hair fr m hogs. I believe they are the warmest waters known, except those of the Ilecla, in Iceland. The water retains its heat for a great length of time; let it into a bath at night and it is of a right temperature to bathe in, in the morning. It is used either by bathing in the water, or by exposing the body to the steam which arises from it, when confined, and for this purpose some rude contrivances are raised over two or three of the principal springs. They have produced extraordinary cure3 in rheumatism, paralysis, liver complaint, enlargement of the spleen, eruptions, pulmonary complaints, obstructions and chronic disorders of every kind. Indian ajjhirs. The Milledgeville Statesman says, "We understand that our worthy fellow citizen, gen. John CffTee, of Telfair county, Georgia, and gen. William Carroll, of Nashville, Tenhave been appointed by the president commissioners to treat with the Cherokees for their land. These are satisfactory appointments.'1 Penal law.

Many dogs were bitten by one which was mad, in the District of Columbia, about the last of October In conse quenceol which, the Mayor of Washing ton issued a Proclamation on the 29th of that month, requiring "that all animals of the Dot; kind be kept confined for the term of forty five da s."

Hyperbole. A Vermont horse jockey boasting the other day of the speed of his horse, gravely asserted that he could trot 17 miles an hour. "Seventeen miles an hour?" says a bye stander, "1 guess that's a thumper." My dear fellow," replied he of the Green Mountain, "seventeen miles is no great for the creature now ; for when he was but two years old the lightning killed the old mare, and chased the cult all round the pasture, without getting icithin ten rods of him JS'ezo York.

Messrs. Madison and Marshall voted for the amendment, and Mr. Monroe against it. Mr. Scott then moved another amendment to the resolution of the Legislative Committee, which was to add to the resolution, "and in the Senate upon taxation exclusively but the committee rose without taking the question, and the Convention immedia-tely adjourned.
