Cut alas, the iron hand of .death emote them, and how their remains are resting ia a ttrange land, far from friends and home.- They were highly ' respected, energetic young raea, and truly diseri-d a lel'er fate.

The greater portica oi lite term will be consumed by the Cantwell trial. Never before was our peaceful village so completely inundated by bass-wood Lawyers, the e fleet of which, is, that the gas market is completely overstocked.It's also presumed, judging from the above fact, that many 'little things will disap pear, by the end cf the term, 'misterious ly,' which will hereafter cause our Sheriff trouble. CT" Among the many distinguished arrivals at the Mansion j there is none so cheerily greeted, as our old. friend" Bill Davis, of "other arrangements" memory. CT" Communications attended to next week. In the mean time, our correspon dent who thinks that we, through our pa per, "give to much milk, and not enough meat," is politely referred to our butch ers, as they have on hand a supply. A huge potatoe, raised by our townsman Dr. R. Erearly, was shown us Its growth was assisted by the hoeing stimulus, and weighs 3 lbs,, and be longs to the Pinkeyed genus. Speaking of Pinkeyes, reminds us that W esty, thefat-Journal-man, of Lafayette is one oi e?n , but differing from his proto type in the fact that he's small potatoes. 07"By reference to our advertisingcoi urns, it will be seen that several new ad vertisemants are inserted from Lafayette dealers. And by Way of remark we will say to our readers, that whenever an in dividual speaks to you through the Chief' tain, you may rest assured of the fact, that they mean just, what .they say;' and when they say they sell cheaper and bet ter goods, in their line, than ethers, it's even so; as the very fact of their adver tlsing, proves them to be liberal, sensible fellows determined to make the public know them as such. As for the Law. rences, Lilly, and the Hanleys, we kno from long personal acquaintance, that they cannot be" beat selling cheap,' (theyre ' honest fellows,- to boot,) and we advise our readers, going to Lafayette to give them a call, price their goods, and if they don't find' car words true, just trot right in, pay 'us up, and take two copies of the paper as we won't be cal led liars that's the upshot!

After the crganizatioa cf the Convea lion, Mr. Pettit introduced a resolution ihat desks be provided for the Stenographers, of such dimensions as they may deem proper; which was adopted. A committee of seven was appointed, on motion cf Mr. Read cf Clark, to wait on the reverend Ckrgy of Indianapolis, and request them to make inch arrange merits as they, might deem necessary, for the purpose of opening each day's ses sioa with solemn prayer, should they be willing to attend for that purpose. On motion of Mr. Rariden, a commit tee of three was appointed, composed of Messrs. Rariden, KeUo, tnd , Morrison, to ascertain and report whether a more convenient room could not be procured for the sessions cf the Convention. Mr. Milroy offered a resolution, that a committee of seven be appointed, whose duty it shall be, to enquire into and report to the Convention, upon the legality of the claim of the present State Printer to do the printing for the Convention, and that, in the meantime, the Secretary of the Convention be authorized to cause the necessary printing to be done at the prices usually paid forslmilar work done for the General Assembly; which Was adopted after considerable discussion and several unsuccessful attempts to amend On motion of Mr. Morrison, of Marion, a committee of seven was appointed to make .arrangements with the publishers of papers in Indianapolis, so as to secure a daily publication of the proceedings of the Convention. The question of preparing business for the Convention by the appointment o corn's, was discussed at length on Tues day and Wednesday, in which many of the Delegates took a part. The following was finally adopted: That a committee cf two from each Congressional District be appointed to report a plan for the business of the Convention, and to designate the number and functions of the different committees. Mr. Pettit gave no.ice that he would on Monday, (yes'erdev,) or subsequent ly, introduce a resolu ion instructing the Judicial committee U report a section abolishing the Grand Jury system, and substituting public examinations. Mr. Miller gave notice of a resolution to prohibit the immigration of free ne groes into the State. ; Mr.' Read, -cf Clark," moved that the clerk of the supreme ourt be requested to report the number of bases on the docket of that court,, and tha year they were docketed.

Bell inends issuing a nroclamatlon: 'submitting to the popular vote the proposition of the General Government, immediately upon the arrival of Col. Lewis uith official news of the bill, The vote will probably be taken about the' tst of November.' New York, Oct. 5, 0 P M. Tha mail-stpamer Cherokee arrived this morning, with two weeks later news from California. She has on board one hundred and forty passengers and fifteen hundred thousand dollars in gold. The disturbances in Sacramento ceased after the first outbreak. Some of the 'ring leaders are in prison awaiting trial. Rumors are current that "an armed band of four hundred men are in the vicinity of Weaversviiie. The authorities have sent out spies in that direction. Mayer Higelow is convalescent. Property holders have shown mere confidence since She arrival of gentlemen sent by Mr. Letcher on a .Mission relative to land titles. The excitement in the southern mines f gainst the foreigners had subsided, and business was improving. The news of the death of President Taylor reached San Francisco on the 24th ult., and was received with every demonstration of sorrow. On the 30th appropriate public funeral ceremonies were performed. The Sacramento difficulties have been settled by the disposition of the squatters The report by the last steamer of the burning of the Sacramento proves to be unfounded. In t!ie, different collisions between the .citizens and rioters, there seems to have been killed, on the part of the former, Sheriff McKinney and MrWoodard; wounded, Mayor P.igelow and Capt. Redford. Of the Squatters Geo. W. llenshaw and Madison were killed; Allen, the keeper of the house from which the fast shot was fired, after being dangerously wounded was pursued and captured. Ilia wife had been dangerously ill for some time, and she died from excitement during the affray. ' ' Coan Bread. Readers never lire of recipes for something to eat.

I.I3 says that during his voyage, and when at an ahituda of two miles, he wr.s overtaken in a snow storm, and what, was strange to him and will perhaps be to every body, was tha fact that the suow fakes ascended. Hogs without Tails. .Mr. C. F.'Mar shal, cf Wheeler, Steuben county, N. V. writes to the Cultivator: We have a peculiar kind of bog in this section, which have been b;ed hire orer 50 years. They became nearly extinct about the time th Berkshire were so popular, bu we have, with a ood deal of exertion, restore! them about as pare as formerly They are similar in shape to the Berkshires, but their color is red or sandy. wh.n pure blooded, the tails of the pigs come oil when about three or Sour weeks old. 03-Not less-than 07,C0O,CGO were--taken to England last -year, principally from Prauee. yielding 37.700 ia he shape oi custom revenue. The Cincinnati Gazette of the 1st says that a large number of farmers from Indiana arrived at that place the day before, some with stock for exhibition at die lair, but. a greater number lor the purpose of securing suitable stock for the improvement of the domestic animals of our fc'taio. FcGiTivn Slaves. The Defiance Democrat says that all the acts that a venal Congress may pass with pains, penalties, and imprisonments, will never make slave catchers of the people cf Ohio. We say repeal let il be expunged from tha tiational statute book, as it will be if public sentiment is trua to justice, truth, liberty and itself. The sentence of a Captain of a steam" er in England to seven years transporta tion for being asleep when his boat was wrecked, and his mate to eighteen months imprisonment for steering out of the safest course for the purpose cf expediting the passage, are thought to be worthey of exampel in this country. The cholera ox the Panama F riglitful scene. Tito cholra whicii broke out on the steamer Fiinama, on her Lite trip .from san Franci-co, created exeat con sternation, and was unusually fatal.
