T|JP CLAY CIRCUIT COCIT, meets on Monday next. We shall be necessarily *bMJO: during the first of the week.
The Tfew Temperance Law of tk!» State. On oar first page( will be found the Temperance Bill, which patted ibe last Genera) Assembly, and which we understand from the last section, is now in fore* as the "^law of the land." The bill is somewhat stringent in its provisions, its main features being, that no person shall retail spirituous
Kqtfftrs except for mechanical, chemical, medicinal OJ culinary purposes, unless a majority of the legal voters of the Township shall endorse '•license" os their tickets at the annual spring election and then, not until bond is given in the penal sum of not less than five hundred nor more than two thouiand dollars, conditioned to keep sn orderly house, and pay all fines, penalties or damages, that may be assessed a* gainst him, under the provisions of the bill.
If a majority of the Citizens so vote, a license to sell, may issue. The penalty inflicted for selling in violation of the law, any^tum not over two hundred dollars, foi each offence, Another provision of the bill is thai any retailer causing the intoxication of any peraon is bound to take oare oi and board such intoxicated peraon until he gets sober, without any compensation, and if he fail any other person may do so, or cause the same to be done, and recover for the same, with fifty per cent damages thereon. No money is hereafter to be received by the Corporation or Board of County Commissioners for license. Another section of the bill provides that any wife, child, parent or guardian, or other person injured in person or property, or means of support, by an intoxicated person, or in oonsequence of such intoxioaion, has a right of action against the person canting such intoxication and his aureties for exemplary damages married women having the same right% a® single ones. All place* or houses where spirituous liquors are bartered or sold, the law declares nuisances, and subject, to be removed or abated as other nuisances, and tfRi keeper thereof may be fined in any sum not less than ten dollars or more than fifty dollars, The above constitute the main features in the bill.
WEDDINO NOTICES.—Our fritnda and "patrons will please remembeMhat we insert wedding notices gratuitously, and it afTords tit much pleasure to do so, even upon those favorable terms. like to aee people marry, nud be "given in marriage." We are more and more impressed with the conviction that all men should get married |om some motive or other, and it should be deferred no longer than neccessitf absolutely demands. The opinion of that celebrated divfne, l)r. Blair,- i* not far from the truth, that men and wompn will nevor^make t^||iheir.«nda properly meet, until th«*y %re married.
Tat CITIZENS of Howling-green, through their attorney, Judge McDonald, have filed an injunction in Chancery to stay the action of ihe Board oi' Commissioners appointed to re looate lite County Seat.

The rejMfft, Which was current a week since, that Bbb. Wtuti A. Gosataih bad received"the appointment of Coraraissioner of the General^eod Office, sppeers to be without foundation. No appointment for that office baa yet been made. We hope the gentlemao will ultimately receive it, aa he is one of the most prominent applicants for the position.
MAIL Sosmtr.—Youag Weldon, who recently robbed the ftiail between this place and Bloomlngton, reported that be bad been attacked on the road by thieves, and forced to give up the mail bags, which they rifled. An examination however, into the matter led to the fact, that the young gentleman himself was the robber, and the money, 980, abstracted from ihe letters, was found accreted in the lining of his cap. He was immediately arreated and taken to Indian* apolis where he will be tried at tbe next term of tbe District Court.
The Blqpmington Gazette says, that Wei* don acted very unconcernedly about the matter, remarking that**he had to work for a living any how, and he would be learning a trade if he went to JeSersonyAUe." That boy will passl
TnE ENCHANTED PAVII.UON.~A fuss, muss, fight, fi*ty cuff*, squabble, or some, thing tut generis, occurs daily, or nightly, among the denizens of this interesting locality. Marshall^obains aays, that if this nuisance were removed, there would be no necessity for a city marshal!, as three fourths of his lime and energy are occupied in this direction. The enchanted pavillion is, therefore, a tine qua non in order to afford sufficient employment for the town Marshall, without it, it might be aaid, ''Othello's occupation ia gone."
CfCT The old Wagon Yard, boarding house, shoe maker's shop.&o, on the south east corner of National Road and fourth Streets, will soon be aupplanted by as fine storerooms as the Prairie City can boa&t of. The new "Warren Block'* will be ihe handsomest in the city.
The Bank of North America, at Seymour, Connecticut, whioh waa reported to have failed with the Woodbury cutd Eastern Backs, is said to be perfectly solvent. The aggregate circulation of the two latter is put down at not loss than 3400.000,
TOWNSHIP TRUSTEES.—It is important that good and efficient trustees be elected in each township at the, April election. The duties devolving upon them are important and every citizen who wishes tbe sohools, roa3s, eto., well managed is interested in having well qualified men elected to this office. There is also to be elected a clerk and treasurer.
THE WEATHER, yesterday, and for the most part all week, has been as mild and pleasant as heart oould wish. Nights are still cool.

Lafsfelle Ere I«irurr|. aure than one year ago, are pub
lished quite an extended notice of the Lafayette Eye Infirmary, oi the superior qualicattons of Dr. Fonda, ss an Occultsl, and of tbe numerous patients then under treatment. A sense of duly to the afflicted in this ptut of the Western country, impels us to again call attention to this institution, and to like wonderful, we bad almost aaid miraculous, cures that bate been effected since our last notice hoping that ibis article may attract the attention of many more of Ihe hundreds who are yet afflicted with diseases of the Eye, and be led to avail themselves of Dr. Fonda's successful practice.
We have
frequently visited tbe Doctor's
rooms, and conversed with the patients themselves, from whom we have gathered the following interesting facts, wilb many others which our limits preclude us from pub-
hshtng: Samuel K. Knowlin, of Iroquois county, III., has been afflicted five years, had lost entirely the use of one eye, and for a long time could only distinguish the light of a candle with the other. He was in fact blind, and had despaired of ever regaining his sight. January 12th, 1852, he visited the Lafayette Infirmary, where he remained under Ire at mint seven months. He has completely recovered the use of one eye, and with the other can distinguish clearly small objects in any part of ihe room, can read ordinary prim with ease, and has again resumed manual labor. ~-p
Samuel Uasford, of Perryaville, Ind., was blind in both eyes—applied to Dr. Fonda Juna 18th. and was discharged, cured, September 3rd*
Daniel Fosselman, of Perrysville, Ind., had been afflicted for six years—could barely s«e to walk not able to do business. In two months his sight was restored and he went his way rejoicing.
Peter Goldsbury, of this county was treated two months cured and discharged. B. H. Clarkson, a prisoner for eleven yehrs among ihe Gamanche Indians, by whom he was doctored for sore eyes foi sore eyes for along time. Had been blind for three years, had been treated by various physicians in New Mexico, Texas and the Northern States, but to no purpose. Has been under Dr. Fonda's care only two months, and is pronounced cured.
Samuel H. Cox, of Danville, 111., eyes diseased two and a -half years. Eyes restored ft one monlh.
The case or Mrs. J. H- Hamilton, bf Boone county is more remarkable still She had been entirely blind for over two years—had never even looked upon her own child which was two years old. In less lhan tfiree months, under the skillful practice of Dr. Fonda, she was discharged able to resume ihe duties of her household.
Other cases we need not mention. Hundreds of patients have attended the Lafayette Eye Infirmary, at bear cheerful testimony to the skill of its proprietor. Many who have been treated at Cincinnati, and other cities, without benefit have been speedily cured. Miss Kendall,
the
daughter of
our former commissioner, having been in Cincinnati, under the treatment of medical men for one year, was cured by Dr. Fonda in three months. Such an institution is a
to Indiana, and we are rejoiced at its prosperity. Dr. Fonda's card and refenccs are found in the Courier.—Lafayette Courier.

VALUABLE DISCOVERY.—The New York Sunday Atlas announces that a discovery of the utmost importance to wine drinkers has been made by Mr. Struggles
of port and champagne wine in New Jersey, tl is staled lhat the rapid consumption of cockroaches, used to give the nutty and peculior'piquar.t flavor lo wine, has made it difficult to'find a sufficient supply. In this dilemma the wine makers conceived ihe happy idea that bedbugs might be used a subMi.uie. He tried ihe experiment, and the result was far more satisfactory than be had anticipated. It was found lhal a quart olhJedbugs contained as much of ihe flavoring principles as ihree pints or more of tbe roaches—and lhal ihe former have but little of thai narcotio or aleep-producing effect which is attributed lo the latter. Con tracts have been made with some of the fashionable boarding-house keepers in New York and Philadelphia for a supply.

Commissioner of Pensions Col. COCK. Collector at Charleston. S. C. B. F. HALLETJT, Attorney General of Massachusetts JOBL PALXEK, Indian Agent in Oregon and S. B. FOSXET, Postmaster at Lowell, Mass.
No appointments have yet been made for Indiana that we have yet been informed of. The following is an extract from a Washington letter:—The Hon. J. L. Robinson will probably be Marshal of Indiana, tbe Hon. Mr. Brown will probably be Special Mail Agent, while Mr. Crow Chapman will doubtless be Postmaster at Indianapolis.— Col Gorman, R. D, Owen, and ex-Speaker Davis seek diplomatic and conaular appointments. Ex-member Fitch is recommended for a place in the Indian Bureau, and the Hon. Mr. Lockhart as Indian Agent. The claims of the Hon. Mr. Ficklin, of Illinois, for tbe office of Solicitor of the Treasury, are strongly urged. Mr. Hodges, Commissioner of Patents, has not retired from the Bureau, aa has been reported, and he will remain in the discharge of his duties until his successor shall be appointed.
THE NEW CONGRESS.—By the election of six Democrats to South Carolina and three to the U. S. House of Representatives, that body now comprises 98 Democrats, 50 Whigs, and 3 Abolitionists. The same districts sent to the last Congress, 88 Democrats, 60 Whigs, and 2 Abolitionists.— Eighty-three members ot the New House are to be elected. Total, 234. The Democratic members will be to the Whigs in the proportion of about five to one. The Democratic majority in the Senate will be from 15 to 20. For the next two years, at least, every department of the Government will be Democratic. The high tariff men have hung their harps upon the willows^. n,^4

This is now and long has been, the worst government in tbe world. Officials and their confidants and satelites, thrive. The property holder grows poorer. There is, in certain sections of the city, owing to railroad speculation or some other local consideration an advance of real estate but in many portions of ihe city there is no inducement lo purchase The dread of enormous tsxalion—the eating oanoer of the swarms of office holders fattening on exorbitant salaries —the certainty thai there will be no re trenchmeni—deter people from investing The same consideration renders real es' tale, in certain aections of New Orleana, unsaleable.

ROTATION IN OFFICE.—We hold that rotation in office, in the true Democratic sense means the rule by which the offices are opened to the largest number of people, compatible with the public interest. There are offices with whose duties it is necessary to have some time to familiarize one's self. It would be manifestly prejudicial to remove an incumbent just as he has become acquaiutod with ihe duties of his office. On the other hand, to keep him in too long would be unjust to the equally deserving members of the party, and perheps injurious lo the public service for men sre just as apt to be inconsistent from too long enjoyment of office, as from inexperience whilst the latter is certain to be accompanied by fresh energy—which is worth a good deal in public stations.—N* O.

The amount proposed to be divided is about 200,000, one half of which, it is said, would have gone into the pockets of the three chief revenue officers at New York, under the administrations ef Messrs. Polk, Taylor and Fillmore. Mr. Maxwell, the present collector, would have recived about 925,000 Mr. Lawrence, 912.000 and Mr. Hone's heirs, 91G,000 or 912,000.
