DROWNED.—A person turned Baughman was drowned in the Canal near Teel's Store in this place, on Sunday night last. The deceased, much intoxicated, was coming into town with a load of flour—stopped near the canal, telling his son he would go to get a drink—not returning, the lad sat on the load waiting and crying all night for his father. Suspicion was not at first entertained of drowning, but after fruitless inquiry over town, a seine was procured, and on Tuesday afternoon the body dragged out of the canal near the spot where the wagon was first stopped. ~~~~~~~

A late telegraph from Washington, says the new patent arrangement, put in force by the President to-day, for receiving office-seekers in open session, has done the work of a week. The scene is described as an amusing one. Whole batinlions of exGoveruors, ex-Senators, ex-judges, were ushered in en masse, and each told his story rii»ht out in meeting. Pierce was very polite to all, and looked promises to none. This plan is very unpopular.

A Washington correspondent of the .V. Y. Journal of Commerce writes—

A REBUKE.—A day or tsvo since, a genteel dressed man. and having till the

The stranger took the rebuke kindly, and no more swearing was heard from his lips at that time.

PROGRESS OF MUSICAL TASTE IN THE UNITED STATES.— A letter from Florence to the Boston Atlas says:

American students of music, I suspect out number those of any other foreign country at present in Florence. Have the vast sums of money recently amassed in Americn bv Jenny Lind, Catherine Hayes, and others, sent our calculating people abroad into this new field of t»n terprise or is it really love for the divuie art? The sudden irruption of so manv American? into Italy, for the purpose of studying music, calls for some explanation. Threo years ago. I could onlv hear of two or three American students of music in all Europe and within the last six months there have been n«v less than nine American gentlemen and la !irs in this city, all ardent devotees of St. C«ci)ls. and all destined for the pub lie as vocalists.

THE EXODUS TO THE FAR WEST.— There is a vast emigration to Oregon and California, (principally to the latter Siate,) the present season, from the Northwestern States. The Illinois State Register says it is "sure that Ohio, Indi ana and Illinois, will send as many beyond the mountains this year as in any previous year, and we hear of in any [sic] other quarters." The Register says:

A new feature in this movement westward is seen this season. Hundreds

of men who have made fortunes in California, and returned here during last fall and summer are among those going out, most of them taking fine trains of wagons, cows, mules and horses, in droves—nearly all purchased by money obtained at the mines. Thus we see that our people who sell these products are sharing in the profits of gold digging. ~~~~~~~

HEAVY FINES—An Irishman named Caleb Parlin and his wife were arraigned before Esquire Sullivan yesterday, for selling spirituous liquors contrary to law. One case was proved against the former and three against the latter. Parlin was fined $20, cost $7, and his wife $60 with $21 costs. Some of our other dispensers of Justice mav well follow the example of Esquire S, and when they get a plain case of violation of law, assess a fine to such an extent as will deter the guilty from again offending. A milk and water course, such as has been followed to a great extent, does more harm than good. It encourages violation of law.—State Journal, May 4. ~~~~~~~

SciEWTiFfc PROPHECY.—An exchange paper slates that about 18 years ago, a Mr. Hair, of Wilton, in Fairfield county, Conn., then a remarkably good student in his collegiate course, was suddenly deprived of his memory and reason Under these circumstances, his father, the R«»v. Mr. Haif, sent him to Hartford, but finding no relief, he sf«nt him to Dr. Chaplin, of Cambridge, Mass. The Doctor said there was no present relief for him, but at the age of 36 or 37 there would be a change that the brain was too much expanded for the cranium, and there would be at that age a contraction, which would enable it to act healthily. His anxious father and friendfe saw their hopes peremptorily deferred for 18 years. That time has recently expire^, and to their great jny the prophecy is fulfilled. The man began to inquire for his book.* as if he had just laid them down, and resumed his mathematical studies where he left them.

Senator BORLAND has obtained the Embassy to Central America. This is bad. and argues weakness at headquarters. Borland had ruti out-flt home, was about 10 loose his seal, and was in desperate want of something The Administrat.on gave him the Governorship of New-Mexico, which is every cent he is worth, and something over.

Borland has twice barked his ran into the Treasury and loaded up $1,808 ss Constructive Mileage for a suppositious journey from Washington to Arkansas and bark between the evening of the 3d and the morning of the 4 of March.

DEAP AND DUMB ASYLUM. The trustees of this institution have contracted with Messrs Vandergrifi to ('oleMock to build a brick Cooper shop 80 by SO feet, including fixtures, to b^ used in fetching the pupils the Cooper* ing business. They have also, con* tracted with Sahdent & Shaw to rough cast the main building.

These are important and necessary improvements. To the deaf mute th« knowledge of a trade by which he can respectaoly support himself and a family, is almost, if not quite, as necessary as any thing else he learns in the assy* lum. To educate a man and then send hitn out into the world without the means of applying his education so as to make himself a useful citizen is like giving edged tools to a child—he may injure others and destroy himself, but will rarely do any good in community. The necessity of instructing mutes in useful arts and handcrafts has been reCognized and acted upon in institutions for the education of the deaf and dumb ever since they were established, and we are pleased to see the trustees of our Asylum avail themselves of the very first mon«\ that could be consistently expended for that purpose, and use it in furnishing the means by which the mutes of our State (at least such as de» sire it) may be made mechanics ns well as intelligent men.

Arrangein* nts will bo made as soon as possible, we are informed, to teach other trades in addition to the one men* tiotied above. We are sure the people will approve of any expenditure neces« sary to carry these plans into effect,

The rough casting of the main build* ing will cost $2 600 and is absolutely necessary for the proper preservation of the building.—Stale Seneinel.

SILK.—According to the Puris Review, there are in Fronre, no lessthan 180.000 looms for silk, of which the products amount to three hundred millions per annum. TSse fabrics of Lvons about nearly two-thirds of thot sum—a moiety ofthe whole is exported—three fifths of the exports from Lvons the Uniied Simes consume tho greater part. The 70,000 looms of Lyons occupy—175.000 indi« viduals. There are three hundred manu'acturing firms, embracing from four hundred and lifiy to five hutidred names.

Notice of the Re-opening of the Land office at Vincennes, Indiana. Whereas by public notice, dated the 5th day of February, 1853, the land office at Vincennes, in the State of Indiana, was directed to be discontinued, and the lands remaining unsold therein ordered to be attached to, and made subject to entry at Jeffersonville, in said State, for the reason that it appeared said unsold lands amounted to less than 100,000 acres; and it now appearing, upon a re-examination, that the unsold land in said district exceeds that qantity [sic], the Secretary of the Interior, in virtue of authority in him vested, has directed the re opening of the office at Vincennes, and it is therefore re-opened accordingly.
