An Extract from Lelia. The following beautiful lines are extracted from ''Lelia," a poem in three parts, written by our old fellow-citizen Davy Bates Some of the verses appeared in the Journal, but they'are so good we give them all. It is heaven! above us the blue skies are bending, Like wings of an agel out-spread o'er the world; While the light through the azure is softly descending, From orbs that are floating in ether empearled. It is heaven! for Eden's sweet flowers are blooming ' In their own native gardens, that spread far away, And with fresh ba'mv odors the soft air perfuming, That gently encircles their blooms in its play." It is heaven! the spray from the pure crystal fountains, Floats off on the zephyrs through purpling beams, Forming halos, enwreathing the tops of the mountains, That are mirrored again in the depths of the streams. It is heaven! the groves on the plains and the highlands Are waving their boughs in the light fanning breeze, And look, in the distance, like beautiful islands On the soft heaving bosom of emerald sea's. It is heaven! the hymn of creation i3 swelling, As worlds call to worlds from the ir bibits afar, Harmoniously blending the praise they are telling With cadences wafted from star unto star. It is heaven ! pavilioned in beauty and brightness, That ne'er shall be touched by disease or decay, Our spirits, as free as the air in its lightness, .May repose amid blossoms, or float far away. It is heaven! and calm are these peaceful dominions; No shadow e'er falls on the land from above, But the swift flitting hues from the radiant pinions . . Of angels, on errands of mercy and love. It is heaven ! no more is there sorrow and weeping ; For death hath no victim in this, happy clime; Far down in the valley his pale corse is sleeping, ' Enwrapt !y the motionless pinions of time.

We Must Do It. We must enlarge the Locomotive; we feel compelled, under the force of circumstances, and the press of matter, to get a larger Locomotive; our train is getting so large, and the passengers and freight are crowding us so hard, that we are forced to do th s, which 'we will at the commencement of the next vulume. In doing this we shall look for a corresponding enlargement of our track by our subscribers we want tails laid all over the State, to every Post office and private residence, so that th whistle of the Locomotive, on its Weekly trips, may be heard, and that every depot may be crowdt d by our stockholders, anxiously looking for the Bulgine. Give us 1009 more subscribers through the State, and we will give you a paper it will do you good to look at. See terms on the first page and tell your friends to take stock in the Indianapolis Locomotive Bulgine Company dividends weekly. ' v

Dotting and Jotting.

Overhaul your daily incidents, and when found make a note on't. This was a favorite expression of Captain Cuttle, in Dickens' Dom bey & Son, and might apply with great force to every man and woman in this community, and if acted on, furnish mattersof interest for all: There is scarcely a week passes but little incidents and events transpire, which, if they were " jotted down" and handed to us, might afford interest or amusement for our thousand readers. Think of this--an item from each, if but an item, would interest tle others, and thus benefit the whole, and there is many little things, and larger ones too, that we cannot get hold of unless by some such process. As Engineer and Conductor of the Bulgine, we appoint each subscriber and reader a committee of one to hand us any little matter or incident that comes within their knowledge, to be used by us in feeding the engine that propels the Loconot'ive. Overhaul your daily incidents, and. when found make a note on't.

Talking in Church Our reporter has furnished a conversation in full that was carried on in church last Sabbath, between some young gents and ladies, that is unavoidably crowded out this week, owing to the press of other matters. The blank pages in the prayer books in a certain church are litterally covered with conversations and remarks made during service, and as we have a careful copy of these, as well as a knowledge of the writers, we may at some future time furnish some interesting items.

. It will be remembered we published the tvddress on a letter i irected to a young lady in Fairfield Ct. a few weeks since, Well, here is the answer, from Fairfield it is a newspaper with the following inscription. A newspaper for Mr. Anthony Touzalin, Adams county and town of Columbus therein, In Illinois State, youve a herald again, News it contains, from California to Maine. Yeo-try certain-Zy.

Another Pop. On Monday another judgment for $50, was obtained against Blythe & Hedderly, for permitting the nuisance to remain at their slaughter house on the bank of the river. This is the second 50, and we understand affidavits have been made out for a third. There is no doubt but this is a most intolerable nuisance, but how it can be abated at this time is a question we cannot determine.

The marshal was on hand yesterdey for all disturbers of the public peace. Every drunken man seen ( 2 in number) was carefully entrusted to the safe keeping of Mr. Andrew Smith, and three young lads, who got up a spree on their onw hook, about 12 o'clock at night, were " spotted," so that they can be called for when wanted, On the whole it was a very orderly fourth. .

It won't do for young ladies and gents to take their sprees in such public places as some did on Monday night. It looks bad, especially as it attracts such large crowds on tke opposite sidewalks. Well, there, we won't tell on you this time, but be more careful in future.

Can any individual inform us in what part of the county the " Sugar Clerk's" select pic nic came off on the 4th? We would feel .much obliged to the person givingsuch informatiom " This hag no allusion whatever to the very select picnic that came off at the Ripple, for we were fully informed of all the doings then and there.

We understand suit wi'l be brought against the owners a house near the depot for permitting gambling on its premises. This is but the first of a series of suits, and those that have been engaged in gaming had better leave before the clutches of the law are fastened on them.

There is no music so well calculated for marching as the drum and fife. , There was no fife at the S. S. celebration, but some of the boys marched beside a Drum like little heroes. So says everybody that saw them. Proceedings of the City Council. - ' Momday, July 4, 1849. The monthly report of the City Treasurer Was read, showing $1,124 90 of funds' on hand.
