(7- We arc authorized to announce Aaron tioble as a candidate for Constable

of Lnvrenceburgh township, at the ensu

07- Wc have Keen requested to say

that Green Snaiks will serve as Clerk of

Lawrenceburgh Township, if elected.

Lawrenceburgh township.

J tcr. What scare-crow will next be conjured

up ns a hobby, wc are unable to say? but thnt there will be some one rnied, is just a certain as that the sun will rise to-morrow.

It would seem to us that this eternal out

cry of tp, wolf, where there is not even

the shadow of a vol to be found, must finally induce the people to disregard the

warning voice, even when real danger approaches. When men are so prone to misrepresent and exaggerate facts, the inevita

ble consequence is that they lose their influ

ence upon the public mind, cither for good

or evil.

If this supplementary law had been

permitted to remain as it passed the House

of Representatives, requiring property to

sell for two-thirds of its appraised value, it would have been much more acceptable to the people. But still it is better than

the law as it stood before and in many

respects even preferable to the act of list

winter, granting a stay of eight months

According to that law, when the stay of

execution was out, the man's property had

to go for whatever it would bring under

the hammer, without any privilege je-

pay annually into the State Treasury twelve thousand dollars which is seven thousand dollars more than the Interest

for the advance made by the stale, or 12 per cent per annum for the one hundred thousand dollars of iron. At first blush, this may seem to be tight dealing, between

ihe State and her citizens, but on a care

ful examination of the subject, it will be

found to bo one of the best precedents

ever set in our state in regard to internal

improvements, and one that ought to govern all future Legislatures on the subject

and it it had been adopted in 1SU5, the finances of our Stale would have been in a very different condition. It is founded upon this principle that the count;cs through which any line of public woiks miy p ss, s-hall prov d by taxation, nn amount equal to 12 per cent interest on any amount, that it may be necessary for the State to advance to complete -same and thai interest to contiu c until the woik is finished and fit for navigation &c. and if they refuse thus to be taxed, let the line of work be abandoned. This is putting the anti-internal improvement counties on a fair footing with those counties who are more immediately interested in the works of internal improvement which has been the great bone of

contention in our Legislature fur the last live years, and which lias yea ly occupied a portion of tl eir time, that has not cost the Slate less than lifiy thousand dollars. This principle carried out, and it would seem that no portion of the Slate could ob

It will be seen, by reference to the 12th section, that it doc not interfere in the lent, with the $100 worth of property heretofore exempted from execution, ns a certain distiniriiida'd citizen of this county has been proclaiming for a week past, nt every corlirr of our streets, nnd w herever he could find anv one k ho would deiun to listen to

It seems to he the peculiar province of some men to find fault w ith every thing thnt may be done by a Whig Legislature, either irood or bad they nro always looking nt ihe dark side of the picture, snuirmcr danser in every breeze, and troubling the community with their incessant cronkings And we- know of no one who seems to be better fitted for this tak than the lion, gentleman before alluded to. When it was understood

that the late Legidature, had determined to let the eight months st law expire by its own limitation, and to retive the old px--ml inn law, the occasion was immediately eied upon, to induce the people to believe that '.ho amount of property exempt from execution would thereby be reduced to.A'rVy

books, to proceed immediately to the discharge ol that duly, we have deemed it

advisable to give some of the provisions of

The writer is speaking of the Geological remains on Todd's Fork of the little Miami. After speaking of fragments of primitive rocks, still found in this region, the writer proceeds to say : "In disreins? w ells and exca vatlnu the earth near VilIllillgtol!, beds of Peat have been discovered at the. depth of twenty Act from the put ace, and charred wood and part f vegetables at a much greater depth, furnish

These stoney graves are built fin elevated ground and bear evidence that (he design' in their construction was to exclude water from entering them. The earth does not seem to have been excavated to deposit the dead, but their tombs are built on a level with the earth's surface. Comparing a human skull taken from one of t besets toney arches with one taken from a mound that had been raised near ten feet over the skeleton it seems that the chamrc that have been wrought on them, by time, arc very similar. The skull taken from these rocky

tombs presents to the eye the appearance oT bone that has been calcined by slow and

continued heat, dissipat ing the fibre and gel-

i tine, and leaving nothing to preserve the

identity of the human form, but the phos-

pate of l.'me. It has been supposed by

those who have examined the contents of

the mounds that arc found in various places

between the Scioto and Miami Kivcrs that

they have been the depositories of the human remains for many ages." After remarking upon the remains of the Mammoth, the writer say s : "I nm led to conclude therefore, that the human beings w hose remains are now reposing in these rocky tenements, were at least co-eval with the Mammoth in his day of motable existence. Perhaps long .before that, new sepulchre of Joseph of Aremaihen. wasmade, a part of thai siu doing airl t'.isoui-di-ent tribe of Israel had wandered over the land and over the sea and tenanted the very spot on which I now write. It may be, tho skull I now look upon aided in building some of these stoney arches over the last remains of some one of that peculiar people. Sku l. we t thou Jew or Gentile? Wert thou a man of letters with your songs and your merriment? or an untutored savage, Did'st thou worship the true God ? or bow the

knee to stocks nnd stones. Did'st thou cat pork I or the succulent juice of tho green herb? Alas! thou heedt'st me not. Well, I too may one day be like thee A thousand year? may pass into forgetiulness and oblivion, and my tongueless jaw s and scattered and worm-eaten skull may remain as a late lingering evidence of a former race.''

F. N. Hani,. -The Philadelphia National (iuzette says: We learn from a gentleman who was in Hanisburg on Monday, that there is evidently in the Legislature a friendly disposition towards the I nited Slates 15 ink. The memorial has been presented and the resolution to print an extra number of copies which may bo considered a test vote, was carried in both branches. Our informant left the Senate jusi as the resolution was passed to print fifteen hundred copies in English and five hundred in (lennan. We haye now no doubt that whatever course may be pursued towards the Philadelphia Bftiks generally, there will be no distinction respecting the United Slates Bunk.
