We were presented yesterday with a beet, raised in Mr W. Armstrong's garden, in this place, which measured 26 inches round and weighed 8 pounds. Such beets are not to be beaten every day. Miami Treaty. We have just learned from a gentleman returned from the treaty ground, that the Miami Indians have refused to ecII any considerable portion of their lands in this state. It was thought when he left, that they would dispose of a few small reserves, north of the Wabash, but no idea was entertained that the large reserve could be purchased at any price. The Indians are averse to removal, and as a consequence, to selling more of their lands than will clear them of debt. A council was to have been held with them this week, at which their ultimate determination was to be made known. The whole tribe, about 1200, was present, and drawing their daily rations, seemed in no hurry to come to conclusions.

On Tuesday morning the 15th instant, without paying the sums in which he was indebted to various individuals, he left this place for Brookville, since which lime, he has not been heard from. When he started he promised that he would return in three days. From all the circumstances of the case, we are fully convinced that he is a counterfeiter, and that he has a large amount of spurious money in his possession. In addition to the thinks of the community, a liberal raw ird will be paid by the owners, of the above property, for his apprehension. Watchmakers and jewellers are requested to be on the look-out. Printers throughout the United States are requested to give tire above a few insertions in their respective papers, and to give information to the editor of this paper as soon they may obtain any information relative to the above articles.

PUBLIC MEETING.

We are requested to say that a meeting of those j

Friendly to a State Convention to nominate a candidate for Governor, Lieut. Governor and Delegates to a National Convention, will be held at Mr. Hunt's Hotel on Monday evening, 11th November next. A general attendance is requested.

Capt. Ford, of the United States dragoons, is now recruiting a new company at Charlestown, Indiana. The enlistments are for three years, and each private, in addition to clothing, food, a horse and equip

ments, forage, &c. is to receive $8 per month; chief

musician $16; 1st sergeant $15; other sergeants $12; corporals $10. The company will be chiefly occupied in the district of country on the western frontier, and in exploring expeditions to the Rocky mountains.

Distressing Fire. We have just received the Somerset Pa. Whig, which gives a brief account of an extensive conflagration which took place in that town on the morning ofthe 16th instant, which is represented to have been second only to that which occurred in Cumberland some time since. The Iosb, says the Whig, we have no means of ascertaining but suppose not lets than one hundred housaud dollars. Greenslurgh Pa. Rep.

We were not a little surprised to learn from the Crawfordsville paper, that Gen. Samuel Milroyha3 been removed as register of the land office at that place, and a Mr. Tyler, from Virginia, appointed in his room. We have not learned the causes that induced the removal, but this we do believe, the office will not be filled by a better, an honester, or a more

deserving man than Gen. Milroy. Who Mr. I yler is we know not, nor do we much care. One thing we know, he is not a citizen of Indiana, and on this ground we feel ourselves called upon to abject to his appointment, however capable and worthy he may be. We think there are at least honest, qualified and deserving men enough in the state to occupy all the offices; and if any have claims we would say they are in favor of our own citizens, those who have aided by their presence and exertions to improve the country and make it what it is. We very much mistake the feelings and temper ofthe lloo6:crs, if they will regard this appointment as evincing that respect for them they were wont to expect from head quarters, not because of the man, but of the unjust imputation it seems to cast upon them.

The "Now England" steamboat which left the city on Tuesd ly evening, for Hirtford, has met with a serious accident, as will be seen hy ihe following letters with which wo hive been favored: Habtford, Oet. 9, 1833. Gentlemen -Mr. Prior came up this morning

The firemen, and some other of the hands injured, but none clead when Mr. P. left, and but one passenger injured, and that by a block or splinter; all the passengers in their berths, which saved many lives undoubtedly. The builders of the engine were on board, and had charge of the engine. Midpletown, Wednesday, 2 oVlock.

The tassel does not bear any resemblance to the corn tassel, but is more like the heads of coarse grass the blades are long and very slender, resembling more the blades of oats than of corn. Upon the extremities of these blades separate grains of corn enclosed in a husk presenting the appearance of hazle nut burs, are found, and to the bodies of the stalks more perfect ears are attached. The stalks themselves are long and slender, and not unlike the wild rye ofthe country, only stronger and more substantial We believe that this grain is at least one thing new under the sun, and unlike most novelties, it promises to be useful.

DeviVs Chicken's own Luck. On Wednesday last, the $20,000 prize was drawn by a singular man, in a singular manner. A package of Tickets in the New-York Literature Lottery, had been sto-

with only a alight hope of recovery, and yet a few j spclauie stamlin

uays auer orougni nun a penitential noie irom me conscientious thief, wherein he expressed himself shocked at his crime, and anxious to repair damages,

and offered to pay the full value of the package pro- i

viding that no legal measures should be taken, and a certificate given him that ho was entitled to the amount of such prizes as might be drawn, behaving either in a fit of caution or remorse, destroyed the evidences of prospective drafts on Dame Fortune, His offer Was met, the money paid, and amongst the numbers he procured were the three spelling $20,000. Fortune is blind they say, and if she bo honest she most certainly ought to be so, although much joy may be felt at the return of the lost sheep, we could hardly offer it more conveniences than to that portion ofthe flock that had not strayed, and yet this reformed criminal has secured an independence re

sulting from the commission of a crime, while many who never left the correct path, may paste their tickets in a common place book as momentoes of a common place folly. JVfcw York Standard.

Neither of these hypotheses are deserving of any attention. The word Ilooshicr is indebted for its existence to that once numerous and unique, but now extinct class of mortals called the Ohio Boatman. In this original acceptation, it was equivalent to Ripsiaver " "Scrouger," "Screamer ""Bulger," "Ring tail-roarer," and a hundred others, equally expressive, but which have never attained to such a re

"A fair business transaction." About three weeks since a man of prepossessing appearance and gentlemanly address, calling himself James Houston, came too at this place and cast anchor at one of our best Hotela. He represented himself as a partner of a rich house in Wheeling, and was on the search of pork having large contracts to fill I for the army that would require 8 or 10,000 barrels. As was to be expected, the news soon spread that a gentleman from the east was in town and desired to enter into contract for all the pork in the neighborhood. The thing took well, and Mr. Houston was waited on with great attention by sundry of our traders, and citizens, and such information imparted and assistance offered, as was thought necessary to enable the eastern dealer to drive a large business. Things went on this way for some time, the pork merchant availing himself of every opportunity to ingratiate himself with his new acquaintances, by promises of advantageous business and agencies to particular young men, the sons of gentlemen, for whom he professed a particular regard; and by way of making himself more agreeable, he would accept the loan of a horse and saddle, a watch and other

little things, until he had leisure to attend to such email concerns. He was promptly accommodated, and thus rigged out, he left our town last week, to make some contracts, and has not since returned. It is hardly necessary to add that the long absence of the pork dealer has caused some unfavorable suspicions, and sunk him vastly in estimation in this quarter, particularly in the opinion of those to whose friendship he owes his rcspectlble travelling equipage. They, however, laugh at the joke, and candidly admit that for once they have been overreached bit and somewhat Houstonized. The editor of the Statesman, who, it appears, is a little out of pocket by this pork affair, (not more we presume than half a hog, as he is a Clayite,) gives in yesterday's paper the following history of Houston's debut in, and exit from this place: BEWARE OF A SWINDLER!! On or about the 2d inst., a certain individual calling himself James Houston, arrived in tlr's place (as he said) from Washington city, lie stated that he was a partner of Yea! man, Esq., of Wheeling, and that they had been appointed Agents ofthe General Government, fr the purchase of anvqunn-

my oi pork which might be in market. His manners

cepted. I perceived the engine, ur something

else was out ol order. I was in the forward cabin and concluded I was in the safr-st part of the boat ; things .seemed to go

on badly by frequent stops until 3 o'clock, when both boilers burst simultaneously as nearly together as a two barrel gun could be discharged by one person; the result was two persons wero killed, almost right out, about 25 wounded or scalded, out of which number 5 or 6 may not survive. The destruction of the upper works was almost entire. Among the number injured, six or eight women are included, being on the upper deck cabin. In the main cabin, three or four were badly injured. In the front cabin no one was injured, neither did any steam enter it. I was awake, and knew what it all meant. I hastened up, and in the course of fifteen minutes got lights and began to look after my haggige. I was sure the hull of the vessel was sound, all this happened at a town called Essex, 10 miles from the sound; the steamboat was in 30 minutes got to the wharf, where the towns people were dis

posed to render every aid. I he event seemed to be distressing beyond description; the Captain and men were astounded, and are as ignorant ofthe cause as the passengers. The fact is, the boilers wanted water. The first boiler I apprehended threw her broken boiler against the other, which caused the explosion. In addition to the above we find the following in the New Haven Herald of l ist evening: "A gentleman has arrived in town for the purpose of obtaining further medical aud surgical aid, who represents the case as one most truly disastrous and distressing. The clerk of the boat, two of the hands, and two passengers, are missing- undoubtedly blown into the stream and lost. Seventeen persons were landed at Essex, dangerously wounded, not more than half of whom, it w;is thought, could recover. The passengers for Hartford, it is supposed, suffered least, most of them being in their berths. "Among the sufferers, were J. M. Heron, Esq. of Reading, on his way to attend the Episcopal

Riches. What are they? who is rich? Is it he who has fifty thousand dollars or one million dollars? Kings are beggars sometimes on their thrones, merchants whose ships float on every sea; yet a poor mechanic has enough to lend. To be rich is to want nothing to have no wishes which you cannot gratify; and the term 'getting rich' should not mean hying up money, but retrenching superfluous desires.

It was understood he was bound for Hartford,

where he was to meet his wife.

Manganese It is perlnps not generally known that there has been discovered in the state of Vermont a mine of manganese, of a quality superior to the imported article. The manganese mine or bed ofa manganese mine is in the town of Chittenden, Rutland Co. 29 miles from tho shore of Lake Champlain,and has been worked since 182S. Thomangineso is raised from tho mine, cleansed from tho earthly particles, and is sent to the New York and other markets in barrels. It is understood that tho New York chemical company are to be supplied with two bundled tons of this article the present season. The principal use of manganese is fur making the chloride of lime or bleaching powdns, and fr gl iss. The price ofthe nnn-gmesi-is between thirty and forty dollars per ton in market.

COMMON THINGS. Ginger. The ginger plant is a native of the

East Indies, and rises in round stalks about four feet high; it withers at the close of the year; and the roots, which are the only valuable part, are then

dug up, scraped, and dried with great care, and

packed in bags for exportation. It is raised in the

West Indies.

Cinnamon. Cinnamon is the inner hark ofa

small laurel tree, crowing in the East Indies: the

bark whilst on the tree, is first freed of its external greenish coat; it is then cut lengthwise, stripped

from the trees and dried in sand, where it becomes

ofa reddish yellow color, and curls up into quills

or canes.

Rhuburb. The lihuburb plant is a native of

Turkey, in Asia, where it rises to the height of six or eight feet; the part useful in medicine is the

root, which is chiefly brought from Turkey in

roundish pieces ofa lively yellow color; variegated with streaks of bright red; the leaf and stalks make pleasant tarts.

Cloves. I he tree which produces this well known spice is a nativeof the Est Indies, and in its general appearance resembles the laurel; the parts uspd are the unexpmded flowers, which acquire their dark brown color from the smoke in which they are dried, in order to preserve their aromatic

qualities.

Capers. The pickcl in common use, under the name of capers, is made of the young flower buds ofa beautiful shrub found in the Levant and the South of Europe, where it grows wild among rocks and rubbish, and is as common as the bramble is with us. The Nutmeg. Tho nutmeg is an East India tree, about thirty feet high, with smooth oblong leaves; it produces an oval or globular fruit, of which the nutmeg is the seed and the spice, called mace the arillus or cover. Although the fruit is nine months in ripening, it produces three gatherings annually; first in April, second in August, third in December. Parley's Mag.
