U. J. Bl'RXS. Editor k Proprietor. PUNCTUALITY. There has been much said, written and published, mostly for the purpose of instilling into the youthful mind, the great importance of being prompt of meeting payments in business transactions to the, j very letter ol meeting other engage ments end promises punctually at the ,: . e time and place designated, and of accom - ID plishing a piece of work and having j ready fjr delivery at the precise time agreed upon. Punctuality is a noble and commendable trait. Who does not dislike disappointment? The failure of one to meet his enghgements, i3 often the cause of a I duzen failures, and some of them probably creating suffering, penury, bankruptcy and want all too, chargeable to the first aggressor. The publisher of the daily or weekly paper promises its regular appearance each day or week, and with its issue, it is generally considered that its proprietor is under pledges and promises to give a correct account of all the railroad accidents, murders, riots, wars and rumors of wars, deaths, marriages, and every thing new in the political world elections, foreign and domestic markets what the President and Congress have done end intend to do; and. in all this to please every body. Should he fail to give his advertisements ordered by courts, their requisite number of insertions, and in proper season, parties litigant are disappointed and damaged to the tune of twenty or thirty dollars in costs. In all this and' many other things punctuality is expected. The publisher, therefore, has a daily i or weekly payment to sitst.snd it is not I whether he tl -s time , or is in cood hfiltli Or m plenty of funds to defray his incidental expenses of ink, papr, fire wood, com dodger and baby coats, but thousands are depending upon the fulfillment of his promise, and it must be promptly met. It is not one only that suffers disappointment in the event of his failing. The Editor might suffer the blame, the sneers and the curses of one, and still survive the shock; but when his entire host of subscribers all get down upon him he is in rather a bad 6treak fur sympathy. Upon the other hand, subscribers promise to patronize and sustain his paper, and upon this he depends. Then, readers, fulfill your engagements, and thus enable your printer to promptly meet his. Gin. Läse. Our readers are doubtless aware that soon after Gen. Lane reached Oregon as its newly appointed Governor by President Pierce, he resigned his post and became a candidate for Congress. He his been elected by some 1,500 or 2,000 votes. Travelling at governmental expense is a reryeasy way of getting about, and seems to agree very well with the General's health. OilTnibSiüE. The first Locomotive cruised the Wabash River on the 3d inst.. on the Railroad bridge erected by the New Albany and Michigan City Rail Road Company, about four miles above Lafayette. Ccte. One of our cute one's the other day, upon hearing that corn was selling in New Albany, at sixty cenu per bushel, remarked that it was selling in this place at about $3,00 per bushel, and green at that. Luxuries in Eestcckv in old Tmies. Whisky and salt were expensive luxuries in th west in 17SG. The price of whisky was fixed by law at $30 the pint, & hotel keepers charged 812 for a breakfast, and 86 for a bed. Two bushels of salt were valued at JCIS0. These were the prices when payment was made in the depreciated continental currency. The first newspaper was published in Kentucky in 17S7. at Lexington, and the first in Louisville in 1807. Those were the times when it was quite customary to estimate a man's services by the 6alt he used in his victuals. Unless he was an incessant laborer, he "couldn't earn his salt." fj3The yellow fever is prevailing to an alarming extent in New Orltan. and in a very malignant form. For the week ending 2"th of July, 4S9 deaths were of. ftcially teported.

Of late, the quantity of water occumula ting in his system was immense, and he had been tapped by his physicians several times, but without effect, tie had a large number ot doctors, and some of them are mean enough to say that that hastened his decease. His loss will be sensibly felt by his many friends who were accustomed to see him daily iu our streets. Also on the samr; day, R. G. Brandy. Esq, He took a large quantity of poison (by mistake it is supposed.) se eral years ago. No bad effects were realized at first, but for a few years past it has been spreading through his system, and has fi daily caused his death. It is to be Imped that his death will be a warning to those who have been in the habit ot taking poison for a medicine. Also, on the same day, H. Gin, Esq. The deceased was a member of the Brandy family, and a relative by marriage. He was a native of Holland, and fled to the United States several vears ago, in consequence of having been actively engaged in one of the revolutions that ' haracterize that country. He was i: :;ued by the police, but secreted himself in a cask, and landed safely in New York. Since then, many of his family have made their escape in the same manner. He left a large family of children, most of whom were b;vn in this country, but we are sorry to say are not characterized by any of the traits of their distinguished fa ther. Also, on the same day. Rye Whiskey, Esq. Mr. W. was one of the first settiers of Michigan. In early life, he was an industrious, hard-worklr.g man. It has done much to build up our railroads and public works, and could always be found in the harvest fields early and late. Some few of our farmers thought they could not harvest their wheat unless Mr. W. was with them to cheer up their hands. How they will manage since his death, we are unable to say. It may lead to disastrous results, and it is feared by some that our farmers may cease to grow wheat, which would inevitably raise the price offlour. Of late years, however, Mr. W. had grown shiftless, noisy and quarrelsome. audany neighborhood he visited was sure to be the scene of disturbance of every nature. The too frequent occurrence of street fights got up by Mr. W., was the ultimate cause of his death. He was killed by a blow on the head with a ballot-box in broad daylight. The perpetrators of the deed are not fully known, but suspicion rests upon two man whose names we believe are Mr. Law and Mr. Order. Several men from the Free Press office are on the watch, and ere this no doubt, they have apprebeuded them. It is seldom we have to announce the death of an entire family thus swept away at one fell swoop. They were all men well known in our State, and have acted in many public capacities; some of them has been members of every Legislature since our organization as a State. In primary meetings and caucuses, they have succeeded in nominating their own friends to ofiice, and afterwards in electing them. There is hardly an officer in the Slate but who owes them his election. At the request of the friends of the deceased, their remains will not be interred until December next. Self Education. We all of us have two educations, one of which we receive from others; another and the most valuable which we give ourselves. It is this last which fixes our grade iu society, and eventually our actual value in this life, and, perhaps the color of our fate hereafter. All the professors and teachers in the world would not make ypu a wise & good man without your own co-operation; and if such you are determined to be, the want of them will not prevent it. (5An enthusiastic young gentleman resolved to gain a repttlation as a poet, and immortalized himself by his first sub ject, the "Thunder Siorm;" and commenced in the following beautiful style: 'The thunder rolled from pole to pole, The lightning spread from sky to sky, An-nnd tliH cattle stuck up their tails and run. And an Here our aspiring poet became so exhausted that he fainted.

Calico, Diagorus and Sophocles, died of joy at the Grecian games. The door-keeper of Congress expired on hearing of the surrender of Cornwallis. One of the Popt-s died of an emotion of the ludicrous, on seeing his monkey robed in pontificals and occupying the chair ot State. Lagrave, the young Parisian, died when he heard that the musical prize for which he had competed, was adjudged to another. Eminent public speakers have offen died in the midst of an impassioned burst of eloquence, or when the deep emotions that produced it, had suddenly subsided. Muly Moloch was carried upon lh field of battle in the last stages of an incurable disease; upon seeing his arraygive way, he rallied his panic stricken, troops, rolled back the tide of battle, shouted victory, and died. The case of Hill, in New York, is fresh in the memory of all; he was apprehended for thett, taken before the police, and though in perfect health, mental agnony forced the blood from his nostrils, and ht was carried out dead. An Indian Joke. In the time of Indian troubles, a friendly Indian visited the home of Governor Jenks. in Rhoda Island, when the Governor took occasion to request him, if any strange India a came to his wigwam, to let him know it. This the Indian promised to do. and the governor told him that when he should do so, he would give him a mug of flip. Some time after, the Indian came again, and on meeting the governor, paid; "Well, Mr. Gubernor, strange Indian come to my house last night."' "Ah!" said the governor, "What did he say?" "He did not speak,' replied the Indian. "What! not speak at all?' inquire! tha governor. "He did not speak at all." "That looks suspicious," said his excellency, and inquired if he were there still. Being told he was, the governor ordered the promised mug of flip. When about to depart, he mildly said, "Mr. Gubernor. my squaw have child last night." and the governor finding that the strange Indian was a new born pappofrse was glad to find there was no cause of alarm. CC3"In Rochester, New York, on Saturday of last week, a woman with a sma1! child in a carriage was driving across tha railroad track, in Goodman street, when, just as the fort- .vheels passed the first rail, both of the shafts became detached from the vehicle, leaving it standing on the track. At this period of time, tha Lightning train was not more than sixtyrods from the vehicle, and the instruction of the woman and child seemed inevitable, when a gentleman who was fortunately passing, grasped the carriage and succeeded in pulling it from the track, just in time to clear tha angina.
