THE TIMES. A. E. GLENN, EDITOR AND PROPRIETOR.
FOR. THE TIMES. Mr. Editor: The new Court House in the town of Wilmington, is now fin-
i$hed,iA ready for the inspection of; the County Commissioners. It is considered a building highly creditable to the Commissioners who superintended its erection, and is in every way worthy the county of Dearborn. The. workmen engaged in its erection, have also lone themselves honor for the manner in which they finished their respective portions of the work. The March term of the Dearborn circuit court, which commences n the fourth Monday of the month, will be the first court held at Wilmington. There are many people asking what course will be taken to get the next Court

would regret any offer from the General Government to appropriate the sur

hold that the General Government has
no right to touch the question, and that
its interference with it in any shape,
would be dangerous and ruinous. T. he

And as the jurors, witnesses, &c., have been summoned to attend at Lawreneeburgh, the Court will meet there and after ordering the removal of the County Records, will adjourn to meet at Wilmington.

conclusively, that the People have the power to u i(l and to do, as to them nvty seem best; and although the county seat will shortly be removed, yet the aristocratic faction will not be put down ; on the contrary, they will leave nothing undone which may have the least
tendency to produce a reaction in their, favor; false promises and false inducements will be held out ; snares will be set, and all their w ily intrigue and cunnings ill be brought forward to deceive the people.

By the packet ship 'Rhone,' Cap!.

have Paris papers to the evening of the

It gives us more than ordinary pleas

to pay the first Instalment on the In

the mediation, and that all our diilere

are now happily terminated, and no
thing is left, in any shape, to ailed our
commercial intercourse or mar those
good feelings which ought ever to exist between two nations endeared by so
many and valuable recollections.

A TERRIBLE UENCONTER AND DEATH. A colored man living in Liberty val
ley, Perry county, met with an untimely and fearful death one day last week.
Our informant states, he had been em
ployed during the day by some of his
neighbors butchering, and was return
ing home in the evening, as it is pre
sumed, with a portion of the day:s spoih
given him by his employers, which at
tracted a gang of Jwolves, that infested his path. They attacked tiie poor fellow, and literally tore him in piece meal. His remains were found the next day, surrounded by some of the evidences of the desperation with which
he ended his life. The only weapon
to defend himself with was an ordinary knife he had been using at his work, and there lay round his mutilated body
live of these ferocious animals, gashed
in every imaginable manner. It is supposed there must have been a dozen or more in the gang, from the sight which the scene of this unhappy occurrence
presented. JSliJJtintoivn, Pa. Journal.

PROCEEDINGS of the Dearborn Gmnty Literary Institute and Association of Teachers. Pursuant to a resolution of various individuals in favor ofadvancing the interests of mental cultivation, a meeting of Teachers, and of ihe friends of learning in general, was held in Wilmington, la., on the 20th of February, 1836, and the following preparatory measures were adopted: Horcg Rassett, Esq. being called to the chair, and Isaac Mi Coy appointed Secretary, the Rev. Win. Lewis, by request, laid before the houe the purpose of the meeting. An invitation to furthef remarks on the subject, was followed by a brief address from the Rev. "Wm. (i. Monroe; and it was, on motion of Mr. Lewis, unanimously liesohrd, lhat an association be formed for the purpose of promoting the caue of education in Dearborn county.
Lesohed, aho, that a committee of
three be appointed to prrpare a constitution for the use of this association. The committee, consisting of Messrs. Lewis, Walker nnd McCoy, reported a constitution, which was then amended and adopted by all present, and iubecribed by their names in conncctoin

Extract from Baron de Rothschild's
letter, dated Paris, Jan. 7th, addressed to Messrs. J. L. 6c S. Josephs & Co., of New York. "We felt much obliged for your kind attention in sending us the Message, and have the greatest pleasure in announcing to you that lhat document, so admirable for the considerate, dignified and conciliating manner in which it presents the facts bearing on the point about which so much anxiety was felt on all sides, has produced here the most favorable sensations in every quarter, rased the scruples of this Government, and determined them to inform yours, through the English Cabinet, that they are ready to fulfil the financial as well as the other clauses of the treaty without delay. We expect soon to receive the instalments due, and have no doubt that this happy result will be received with as much joy by the American nation, as it has created generally here."
TIIE LATE NEWS. By the packet just arrived at New York, much public and private information has been received in relation to our affairs with France. It is quite certain that France will pay the instalments on the Indemnity now due, on the Presdent's annual Message, without waiting for the acceptance of the mediation by England on the part of the United Slates, The British papers will show the views taken of this affair. That press is unanimous, and that without distinction of party feeling. The public organs, conservative or liberal, of all shades or degrees, unqualifiedly denounce the conduct of France as unwise nnd unjust; and place the United Stales in the most enviable position in the eyes of the the European public.

From a gentleman who arrived or. the 19th inst. only twenty days from San Felipe de Austin, the seat of the provincial government of Texas, we are furnished with the following pleasing intelligence.
