Again tho bell tolled solemnly and the sad procession proceeded on its way, wending along tho village street, and through more than one green lane, until they reachad the grave-yard. They laid them in one grave tho father and daughter beside the wife and the mother who had been so deeply mourned; and nnre than one heart in that large assembly turned sadly away from the scene before them, to give a thought to the lonely mound, far toward the setting sun, where Kate young husband had ben "buried out of her eight." to be continued.

JViWURNS, Editor k Proprietor. PLYMOUTH, IND. Thursday Mon 1855. This week's issue makes rather a lazy appearance in the way of original matter, owing to other engagements in preparing to'remove the office.

ForCi'gU XeVS. We have rather impatiently waited the arrival of the next 6teamer, knowing the public anxiety for further particulars in relation to the Emperor's death, and who is to succeed him. Tho Atlantic has been due at 2iew York for several days past, but dispatches received from Halifax as late as the 26th at 9 P. M., state that nothing had been heard from her. The Riot in Australia- The Detroit Daily Free Press of the 24th inst. says, the erneute among the miners at Ballarat rose from dissatisfaction with tha license system. Tbey held a meeting at which every miner burnt hi license, which caused a row. The government officials arrested some of the men and set them to work upon the road. The disaffected then proceeded in a body to demand the deliverance of their companions, which was peremptorily refused by the Governor. The troops, to the number of -100, were ordered out, and sixty persons were killed. The soldiers were deserting, and : the sympathy of a large portion of the citizens was with the rioters.

Reed & Co., of Sacramento, had applied for the benefit of the insolvent act. A.S. Wright, of the Miners' Savings Bank was in expectation of speedily re suming. Of general news, there is literally noth. ing of tho least interest. Copious rains had fallen, much to the gratification of the miners. The bll introduced into the Legislature for a prohibitory liquor law, submits the matter lo a vote of the people at the general election cf 1855. The Black Warrior Case.The Washington Ln:on of Monday onnouncea that Spain has acceeded to the demands ofour government respecting the Black Warrior outrage, according to a j'ltl indemnity; nd that the whole matter will be brauet to a close as soon as the necessary proofs can be taken of the amount of damages. "Mr. Marcy's argument." says the Union. nof tho 22d June. IS54. has had tha effect of securing this adjustment." There are yet several other differences with Spain remaining unsettled. . MO an : Free Bank Paper. We notice by the Toledo Blade, and other Ohio papers, that Indiana Free Bank money is gaining in the confidence of the people of the State. The Blade says that the soles of the Lagrange Bank. Lima, and Goshen Bank, Goshen, are taken at par by the bankers of that city. ' Other Free bank-notes of this State are received at par in other places in Ohio: The following States have enacted lavrt prohibiting the sale of spirituous liquors as a beverage: Main, Vermont, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Michigan, Indiana, Ohio, Rhode Island, Wisconsin arid Ulinois. In Virgiuia, the wheat crop is represented as looking remarkably well, having sustained no damage by freezing. Kansas Item.

Winter weather still continues ils blustering sojourn amongst us as though it knew no march. Suice Monday snow has fallen to the depth of six or eight inches. The Xcw British Cabinet. The London Times inclines to the belief that the Palmerston Cabinet, r.s recently reconstituted, will have but a brief existence. It says: "Upon the whole, we must wait till we are more accurately acquainted with the composition and views of the newad mini s trat ion for such it virtually is before we determino the degree of confidence it may appear to us to deserve. ir ,. .1.1 j- i.- i i liament decs not show a far higher de-1 t . , . , ..... .,ö t , i it kill, urn ua li v nit, it i ui 419 aiiuii j tu a ai- i u i f r- ill iiiiiiiuviiLnvtii Uli I i lid 11 .jtii ii Palmerson has yet displayed in the fiiee . . m. . . ...

W HO WILfj BE CZAU ! The law of primogeniture in Russia is so indefinite that the succession to the throne miy fall upon ihe oldest sou, or upon.the first son born after the accession of tho parent. Alexander, the oldest son of Nicholas, was born a few weeks before the latter became Czar. Constamtine was born two or three years after. The djubtful construction of which the statuta admits may. io case the lato Czar left no will, give rise to io testine divisions. Cokstantiki is rep reeeafed to' yniei the highest ability tot tat station, ana Nicholas is said to have chrihtd the design of making Mm his successor. A gentleman, who has possessed unusual facilities for becoming acquainted with the private history of the Roman offs, expresses the opinion lhat the Czar contemplated annexing Turkey to his dominions, od then dividing the whole into two kingdoms, over which each of the two sons should reign tho capital of j one to be Constantinople, that of the other St. Peter. burgh. Interviews with Louis Napoleon. It is ennounced in a recent Paris letter that immediately on the arrival of ex Tresi1 dent Van Buren in Paris from Italy, he received a pressing invitation from the French Emperor to pay him a visit, with which he complied, aud the two had a long interview. The Hon. Robert M.

On Friday last wo converted with him for a short time, and he remarked thai, if he could only get a little freth air. he would regain his former health. While in conversation wilh him wo referred to his case; said he. "I am innocent of the death of Allison." Are you innocent of the manufacture of the box'" wo inquired. Ho replied, H think I have never deaied or admitted that 1 had no agency in making the box, but John R. lively swore fjlsely throughout, lie was one person who misrepresented Ihe case." Hitcly, it will be remembered, was the person who made tho box, and swore positively as lo the identity of Arrison.""5 Tha Prosecuting Aitorney, Arrison said, was prompted by malicious motives, and th hops of gaining political notoriety by convicting him. Arrison told us that he knew that popular opinion as decidedly against him. which hs said tvas caused by the action of the press ofjtho city, wMch; boih before and since. the trial, had denounced h!m anc freJf,?d . W8 p6?P La5a,nst him, "although,' said he, when tha verhtm, and prejudiced the people

diet or guilty was rendered, there was no demonstration or feeling exhibited, except by one person." He ia visited nearly every day by several of his female acquaintenccs, and the kind and considerato jailor, Mr. McLean, pays every attention to his wants. We are inclined to the opinion that Arrison is convinced that the prospects of his es caping the scaffold are very slight, and that he is preparing to meet his end with resignation and calmness. Cin.

TI19 President has no intentions of making any appeals t ) the home government in the cae of the El Dorado outrage, but has demanded of Gen. Conchi imthedinte 'satisfaction. The dispatch i containing these demand is now on its way, by special ogent, to our naval commauder in the South Ameiican sea, and after delivery to that officer he will proceed with it to Cuba, with all tho available American vessals-of war that can be found on that station. Thus mich is known, and the remainder will havfi to remain a secret for a few days. There is to be no longer tolerated the trifling policy manifested by Spain in Its relations with tho United States, and this will hi clearly shown in tho caso of tho El Dorado. New Hampshire. For Congress the majority of Mr. Pikk, in the first district, is over 2,000; of Mr. T.ajtan. in the second, 4 500; and of Mr. Ckacin, iu the third, nearly 3,000.

The Wheal Frosjicct in the West. We learn from a gentleman who has traveled pretty extensively through the States of the North-west during the past six weeks, that the prospect of the wheat crop was never better. In Iowa a large quantity has been sown, but so great is the emmigration to that State, and so rapidly did it fill up last season that a t I - r.i t 1 1 large portion 01 me surplus will b required for the new settlers there end in Kansas ami Nrlm.; Thrr,Ufriout Illii nois, it is represented that the crop never a , I T , .

'I't 1 r ., iookcu uutier. ineJilgil prices Ol I tie last few vears, and ihe almost ccrtaintr that there will b but little abatement during the present, have stimulated the farmers to sow to an extent bevond former precedent. And the same may be said of Wisconsin. The prospect there is that 1 the abundant crop of last your will bü !; succeeded by one eijuilly as good is this, j e hear good reports, too, from Indiana au Michigan. On the whole, if no untowarj event interposes between now and harvest, the North-west which is in fact thagranery ol the Union will turn out a surplus which will gladden the hearts of the breadless in our eastern cititfS. There will be comparatively few men engaged in the construction of railroads in the west during the present seasonall the great lines beinc nearl V completed. This will reduce the consumption of nonproductrs, and cause a large amount of iduor id return to agriculiure thus inIcrriSing our surplus uv" he operation of two causes.

How to Pbevest Accidents on Railroads. A practice obtains upon some of the English railroads, which might well be imitated here. When the passenger buys his ticket, he can also buy a card insuring him against accident. Between London and Liverpool three pence insures

his life for JC1.500; two pence for JC1, 000; and a nenny forJCSOO, end for J'rrpr tionate damaeos in cases. of injury insurance is effected by the company under act of Parliament; and its effect is lo render them more careful in running the road, by increasing the expensivenos of an accident. Tnero is no reason, indeed. ! why every railroad company should not be compelled to insure the life of every passenger, and to be responsible in heavy damages for whatever injury may be sustained. Carriers of all sorts aie held thus responsible for the safety of goods committed to their care; why should th lives and limbs entrusted to their charge be deemed deserving of less protection? Hunt's Magixint. A Bit of Reuimcr.

Whilst she was there she received a letter from the son of her form er guardian, informing he: of his father's death, and that himyelf had heired all his vast properly, but could not consent to retain that which had been treacherously taken from another, and offering to make restitution.
