TI5E TIMES.

A. K.CLENX. MMTOR AND I-ROPR1ETOR. FCH THE TIMKS. THE KLUCTION. Mr. EnnoK As the lir-f Monday in August approaches, I dv.il Ui.it (lie eyes of the greater portion of our follow citizen arc turned to the important duty which devolve? upon I htm the duty of selecting individuals to make and revise our laws, and to d our common county oficr. This is risht, and U is wise: The virriit of the respective candidates should he calmly and dehher:i!ely weighed; mi l the lea Imp r.un stuns which the candidates f r (he Legislature wiil support, should be well understood this is the most imp.)! ( nil matter to the people of this cemdv: for in the suttrss of o r ticket, the welfare and prosperity cf our county much depends. I discover that in the tiiherrnt sections of llic county, there n:e iim few individuals who take a ure.it htore-t in the success of fhc candid ites I t Congress; and some others again fa I an interest iti tiie success of tin- candidates for Commissio: cr, Recorder. J:i i. Arc. but the mijoiiiy ;irc more itailv, more deeply interested in the smce-s of the "lY.or-LE's Canimiutks ( ;s on have very appropriately s-.vied the-,) for Representatives. This "i- ti e case with myself is a citizen of Dearborn county as a friend to "equal and exact justice" a:.d as a (riend to the lights and libeilies of the People, do I liope for the success of the men norm.

and then pioceed, like men, willing to accede a iihle for the benefit of the whole, and point out their difficulties, and make their pretended grievances known, they would be listened to with all due attention. But no! this would not do! They know they could not satisfy the people that the county seat should remain at Law rencehurgh it would s!mw too plainly that they want to have all or nothing.

Several i o-)ds were now floating abovo and below me, and as they h,d lo-t their pure while appearance, cast a daisies. over all beneath, and robbed me of a scene of grandeur the setting of the nin. Moisture from the clouds began to accuinulaie ca the surface of

my vessel, a d to run down the neck, s' as to completely soak my pantaloons and feet with water. At 9 o'clock took 3d observation: thermometer 35 degrees, barometer 21 1-10 inches, course east bv south, tale one mile in G minutes. Tiie moon now shone, but it was not clear, and I had but a very imperfect view of the earth. A little before 10 o'clock, water poured down npor. me; the blankets and sheets, the ballast bags, tnai! bag and every thing on board were wet. I threw ouL a great weight i f ballast to gain a more elevated and drier region in the atmosphere, and in a short time I found mystlf in a situation, though diier, much more unpleasant. The silk had became as hard as wood, h u b s hung from the valve rope: I stood in wet clothes upon blankets and sheets that were stiff with ice, and if ever I fell cold in mv life, it was at this time. I felt desirous to know the height of the thermometer and barometer, but it was with groat difficulty that I could hold my phosphorous bottle to see their heighih. the thermometer 10

I would 1 tit open the valve to tiescend to a milder atmosphere;! soon found myself descending, and found that I had to discharge "a great quantity of ballast, more than double t,e quantity I discharged on my torn. or voyage, to keep me at a safe distance from the earth. At first J tho't the loss of tiie levity of mv vessel was owing to (no accumulation of water and he on its surface; but I have since Sound it wo owing principally to the two lades which I discovered and temporarily mended before I left Cincinnati, hut which had broken again and formed huge appertnres.

" I was then kindly assisted by Mr. Bryan, Mr. Beanning, (Justice of the Peace,) Mr. Joseph IVnnelton, and two or three others. We cut down several trees, and were enabled to secure her without any injury. The spot on which I landed is in Pebble township. Pike, county, 9 miles from Piketon, 18 miles from Chilicoihe, and 100 miles from Cincinnati. The letters entrusted to my care were safely deposited in the Post Office at Waveily, a few miles from w here I landed.

R. CLWTON. Cincinnati, July 9;b. tC:35.

IXDIAXA I.OOKI.(; LV. It gives us much pleasure to notice the spirit of enterprise and improvement that we are daih witnessing iti our Stale. Properly in Indianapolis, and indeed in all our neighboring towns is looking up, as well as rapid enhancement of price in the landed estale throughout the country. We arc happily situated, who live in Indianapolis. No town or county iu the State can receive a benefit, without its influence extending to ourselves, in a greater or less degree. We rejoice at the opening prospects of our neighbors, as developed in the article below. Some of the same gentlemen mentioned as having purchased property at Lafayette, made handsome investments in this place, on their journey to the west. Property to the amount of two or three hundred thousand dollars has changed owners in this (own and neighborhood, within a short time since, and but a day or two ago. a purcha-e was made of .Messrs. Merrill and Vandes, by Mr. West, an intelligent gentleman of Salem, .Massachusetts, amoutiling (o $'2b,0.10, including their mills and factory on i'n!i creek, which we think will prove a handsome investment in a very few years. Indianapolis will imm-ovt m p.miy mis season I reparations are now making for from fifteen Io twenty business houses on Washington street, ol from (wo (o three s(oi ies high, and the spirit of improvement has just eoment t'd. W e take pleasure in copying from the. Wabash Mercury, an account of the prospciily of Lafaxelte. Our neighbors at Tcrre-Ilauto, Logan-port and Richmond could tell some handsome things about the prosperity of their towns, as well as many others. Indiana Democrat. ''In addition to a number of large brick stores, and comfortable dwellings, there are now bieng built in Ltf.Tyette a steam saw mi!!, an iron foundiy ; and we learn, could lumber, brick and other materials have been produced, other extensive buildings would have gone up this spring. Bat the improvements as etxensive and substantial as they are, furnish no idea of the value of town properly and its rise within a few months. Lots that were bought six months since for from fifty to one hundred dollars, eon be sol I more readily now for from two to live bun died. And around the public square bis cannot be had forany price twen ty live hundred doll-ns having been re fused A..r an improved lot during the last week. And in proportion us the properly has risen in (own, it has iu the neighborhood. Last week Messrs. Cabol, Huntington and Poller (the former of Salem. Massachusetts, and the (wo latter of Hartford, Connecticut.) paid seven thousand dollars for a'sixty icre lot, adjoining town; which lot eight years since, ro-i about oi.rhi - a. a us. In company with the above na med gentlemen, was the Hon. Henry L. Ellsworth, of Hartford, Connecticut. recently appointed by (he President, Superintend int of the Patent Oiliee, woo also made investments in our town Hid country, amounling to twenty thouand dollars, with the intention as we "aril, of erecting manuf -clures and ma-Klll-r Other extensive imm-ovmonts. . t A lew more such men, in addition to our present enterprising ami public pinletl citizens, will in a short time, make L. , avetfe. what no other town in he State is, or ever can be; for no oth er (own in the Slate, or even in the 1 1 oat West, possesses superior natural i i vantages iii any point of vie w. This is saying a great ileal, but we are sure, not more than is (rue, for in addition to our own observation, we have the -tromge-t proof in the fn t that men of capital, after having Ira veiled thousands

of miles to make investments, select Lafayette as the choice spot. CONSUMPTION. A young lady in the last stages of Consumption, was lately restored to her health by the following extraordinary and accidental reined : She had long been attended by the faculty, but derived no benefit' from their prescriptions, and considered herself veighg to the end of her existence, when she retired during the summer ton vale in the country, with the intention to wait in solitude the hour of her approaching dissolution. Whiloin that situation, it was .her custom to rise as early as her malady would permit and contemplate (he beauties of nature and the wonderful works of God from her chamber window, from which she observed a dog belonging !o (lie ho'ie. with scarcely any flesh on his hones-, constantly go and lick the dew off a cammomile bed in the garden; in doing which, the animal was noticed to alter in appearance, to recover strci gtli. and Anally, to look plump and well. Tiie singularity of the circumstance was impressed strongly on the. lady's mind, ami induced her to try what cilht:t rnirbt be

produced from following the dog's example. She accordingly procured (lie dew from (he same bed of camir.omile, drank a small quantity each mornirg. and alter continuing it sometime, experienced some relief; her appetite became regular, and she found a return of spirits, and in the end was tonipk tely cured. cxr-renr; of a moi;mo?j a.;i;i.. A western paper has a ui ions account cf a new adventure with the .Mormons. Jo Smith, the High Priest and Prophet of these fanatic, vagabonds, was not longsinre upon his proselyting expedition in Ohio, and to give more solemnity ami eclat to the ndnunstr.-ttion ot his baptism, he gave notice that an angel would appear on the opposite side cf the river in which tiie ceremony was performed, as often as the riie should he. repeated. Accordingly whenever the baptism took place, a figure in white sure enough appeared upon the bank of (lie Grand River, nnd continued there as long as the ceremony basted. Some of the unbelievers, however, secreted themselves near the spot, and the next lime il showed itself, his Ghosiship, after several unghost like attempts to escape, nnd after a dm king in the river to which it was driven, was taken bodily possession of when it was found upon examination to he nothing more nor less than the Prophet himself.
