Wednesday Morning, January 5,1848.

IVew Wear's Eve.

This is a time devoted to general hilarity and

catriviality of foclinc, and was pretty freely served by the population of this place—each after

the manner most pleasing to the inclination. Watch meetings. dancing, and obstreperous out

door .rgica nil had their votaries and the night was lens devoted lo refreshing aleep than any

of the closing year. /.

To the tho time-honored cnatom of welcoming

the new year with prayer and songs of adoration,

all good citiiens will yield a hearty a^acnt, ami

they too, will gladly welcome the tme when all shall participate in this manner of celebrating an

important era in our calendar. To the agreeable assemblies and hcallhfuf exer

cises, attended with inalrumental music. in which

the younger portion of the ladies and gentlemen

usually delight, we aro not the one to object, for we hate spent a very delightful part of our

daya in auch recreations, and we believe we have been benefited therein. It ia good, occasionally,

to throw personal cares overboard, and besides being happy yourself, try to add to the hap

piness of others. The cynic goes out of the world and none sigh for hie departure—no one drojis a

tear upon Ilia grave! But what shall wa say to those who make nisht hideous with their revelling*—their bacchanalian

brawlingsl They not only disturb the peace of society, but they do themselves a great injury in

their health and character. They pay the penalty in doubtful reputation, a shattered constitution,

and an early and unhonored gravo! Days, nay even weeks of bodily and mental pain may follow

one night of such dissipation, and they find too

late, that they have paid "too dear for the whis-

tie."

Some ofthe scenes of Friday night were really ^Qwerg

disgraceful and discreditable to our neat little city ofTerre-Haute. In the hands of many lmy», fire

crackers were the order of the evening, and these pop-guns were let off at all times and in many pla

ces. We understand some were thrown under tho foet of llie horses of the Northern stage, which

causod them to run at the top of their speed, but the driver brought them up without uuy injury

^occurring. In a walk around the square. we noticed irindow blinds torn from their hangings and

broken, find we belicvo that most of the water pipe* that could bo reached, were torn fiom the

walls, broken, injured or carried away. This is

singular

fun,

and those that can enjoy it must

have very singula* temperament*. Under our

statute it is "malicious tresspass" and is punishable by a fine of double the value of the property in

jured, nnd imprisonment for twelve months.— How would thoso trespassers feel, if they hod to

go to jail for year, for one night's malicious mischielt and ever afterward* lo he branded as 'jnil

bird*|' for the stigma would stick to them for

Batumi life-time. We are sorry that such thing* occur and would bsglnd to *ee the time when "fun" may be had

without bringing with it any injury to a neighbor. Wc presume the matter will be investigated, and

should such trespassers fare badly in the settlement, they nan only blame themselves foi" it.—

Those that learn only by personal experience,

must bo satisfied to pay the high bill of the flee

cing schoolmaster.

CCJT" The case of small-pox at Indianapolis, which scsred away the Representatives of the people on the 17th ult., has terminated fatally. The State Sentinel of Jan. 1st has the following: '11 "We are pained to announce the death of Hon. Andrew Kennedy. He died at qinrter past six, on Friday evening, the 31st of December.

In the death of Mr, K., the Slate loses, in the prime of hia life and usefulness, one of her most horfored and distinguished sons."

Mysterious sre the ways of Providence and uncertain the calculations of man. It is said that Mr. K. went to Indianapolis to open a road for further political honors on his way at Muncietown, he met a person with (he small pox, caught the seeds of disease and went to Indianapolis and died.— It may be that ha fell a prey to his honorable ambition, though had he remained at home, he would not have been secure from ihcgrim King of Terrors.

CCT A writer in the State Journal advocates the abolition of our Prubate system, and transferring such duties to our Circuit Judges, (more of whom he thinks should be commissioned.) because, as he says, the Probate Judges are generally ignorant of their duties, £tc. Such objections are not good as .to this county now, whatever it may have -""been heretofore, and we think capable men might be elected in every county.

The same writer has the following: "The Associate Judges of onr Circuit Courts ere useless appendages. They do no good. Nineteen times out of twenty they are mere cyphers. Away with them, then. You cannot abolish them but jou can allow them only ten cents per day, and then no one will eet, or if he do, it will cost us but little. As a general rule ten rents is as much as they are worth.

A VETO.—Congress passed a bill near the close of the last session, making appropriations for the improvement of Western rivers and harbors, which bill has lately been returned to the present Congress by Mr. Polk, with his objections to its passage. He considers it unconstitutional! Western Democrats, who think the General Government ought to take some care of our rivers, harbors and public thoroughfares, ought to commence working at the right place, and vote no more for such men as their present President. It seems to us that they ought to be tired of vetoes, and that their country has been long enough neglected. I

Mr. Pettit. the Democratic member of the House, from the district above us, protested against the Veto Message—its arguments and conclusions, and Mr. Wentworth, (Dem.) from Illinois, immediately offered a resolution in the House, affirming the right of the General Government to make such public improvements as had been vetoed. We hope some good will come ol the stand taken in opposition to the President's views by these two Western Democrats. ''"'U'

The Washington correspondent of

the State Sentinel says: "But it issaid by many here that Mr. Calhoun and his followers are going over to the whigs especially upon the war questions and issues." Well, suppose they should it would be as sensible thing as they could do. While Mr. Polk's friends are leaving him upon other questions, (Internal Improvement? for instance,) it is not improbale that some should desert him in his rampant war notionsMf

A NEW REPUBLIC.—Some of the West India Islands, including Jamaica, Trinidad, Demerara, St. Vincent and Barbadoes, together with the colony of Guiana, have formed a league in which they pledge to "unflinchingly exert themselves to gain 'hat participation in the control of their affairs, which has ever been held by British subjects to be the birthright of freemen." a

CONSUMPTION GONE.—A Cincinnati paper says that one house in that city has lately filled orders for thirty thousand dollars' worth of Dr. Rogers' Liverwort and Tar, and has orders for 84,000 more. This medicine is used for Consumption, and we should think would be enough to cure all the cases in the West. .( ,n£,

Medical Meeting.

At a meeting of the gentlemen of the Medical Profession, held on Monday Jan.

3d, 1848, Dr. S. Patrick was called to the chair, and jpr. John A. Wood appointed Secretary. A committee consisting of Dri. Read,f CKppinger, Moss and Negley, was appointed to report suitable reso

lutions to the meeting, who after consulting together reported the following preamble and resolutions, which,were unan

imously adopted. Since it has pleased Divine Providence to remove from this life, Dr. E. Daniels, a distinguished member of the profession,

and an old citizen of this town, and it being equally becoming and grateful to oar feelings, to express in a formal banner, our regret for fiis loss, be it therefore

Resolved.,

That in the death of Dr. E.

Daniels, the profession has tost one of its most valuable members, whose counsel was entitled to the highest regard, and

whose ardent devotion to the science of medicine, is worthy the imitation of those that are left to fill his place,

Resolved,

That while his death is most

sensibly felt by his brethren of the profession, the community in which he has so long and faithfully labored, has been deprived of a most able medical adviser, and

a devoted and sympathizing laborer for the relief of the sick and aiHicted.*

Resolved,

That his professional zeal

atone entitles his memory to be cherished by all who love and honor the science of medicine.

Resolved,

That in testimony of our re

gard for the deceased, we wear crape upon the left arm for 30 days.

Resolved,

That the proceedings of this

meeting be published in the Wabash Express and Courier. S. PATRICK, Chairman.

JOHN A. WOOD, Sec. After the above procepdings, the follow

ing elegant, true and feeling remarks, were made by Dr. Read.

We have already consigned to the si

lent tomb the remains of him whose memory calls us together this evening for a last tribute of respect. ,,

We are now doing for him the last final honors to which we as a collective body may be called upon to render. Familiar

as our profession makes us with sickness and death, the present cannot fail to impress us with the deepest solemnity, and with that most faithful of all teachings that man is born to die. Neither con

dition, nor age, nor sex. is spared from that law which governs our physical being. The joy and hilarity of youth, the pride, the strength, and ambition of manhood alike with the sear and yellow leaf of age are hushed in the silence of the grave, and we are admonished from our vain aspirations by the solemn calls of death.

One of our little number, who long and faithfully labored with us, who toiled in our toilsome profession, actuated by that strong desire of doing good, so much a unity of feeling in the medical world, has been called to cease his labors upon earth, to lay down the sickle whilst the harvest

was yet ripe before him, to enter upon the vast uncertainty of another world, of which no man knoweth nor can know, until he

exchanges mortality for immortality. He shall be with us no more upon earth, yet

his examples and teachings are left for our good, and it becomes us as medical men, to consign to oblivion every feeling

were in no less a degree characteristic of the deceased—until within the last few months he never"refused to obey the summons of the sick—the coldest and most inclement weather were no obstacles in the path of duty.

The poor alike with tfie^iri'feh shared his services in ah eminent degree, and I have known him for months give his services in the most careful manner to the poorest and most indigent of community without hope offee or reward, and when their remote residences consumed mnch of his time to reach them.

To a certain extent this will apply to most medical men, and I. am proud to belong to a profession, which if deprived of every other excellence, this of charity

would alone stand out an everlasting monument of the glorious attributes of a noble science—whilst other pursuits close the

door to-the smallest pittance, we are daily, almost hourly called upon to contribute largely, frequently beyond our hard earned means. Our venerable friend in the chair can speak more forcibly than my.

self of the severe trials and discouragements that awaited Dr. Daniels when he first settled at this place. Suffice to say that he was then pecuniarily poor—that by the most rigid economy, and severest industry, he in a few years accumulated a

competency. In all his business transactions he was scrupulously exact, and in this respect no

man more honest ever lived.

Of an impulsive and ardent temperament, in moments of excitement he often uttered sentiments and opinions tended to kindle feelings of resentment and ill will, but at all times these were momentary ebullitions that subsided as the spark died,

and he was then ready to award justice to all. His head was always right, and from what I have known of him, I am persuaded he permanently treasured up wrath against no human being.

He was jealous of his professional rights, and a warm admirer of those eminent in the science of medicine.

With an excellent judgement and a sound medical education, he discriminated quickly in disease, and prescribed with a full confidence in his remedial agents.

With rich and copious powers of invention, he was enabled in his counsels with his cotemporaries, of throwing much light on doubtful and obscure cases.

He was a scholar of the old school,

thoroughly imbued with the science of medicine as then taught, and in many respects it was much better taught then than now—but he kept pace with its rapid advances, and was ever ready to adopt what

was regularly and scientifically approved. He has repeatedly told me that he committed to memory when a student of'medicine, Chflselden's Anatomy from beginning to end,

with his last sickness. I have thus briefly and imperfectly touched upon some^of the outlines of the character of the deceased.?^ "JO

And now that the grave has forever

closed on his remains, let no unhallowed

feeling linger in the breast of any to cast a cloud upon the memory of him, whose whole life was one of toil to leave an honorable name. "All men think all men mortal but themselves" but yesterday our friend had hopes, and prospects as bright as our own—we have consigned him to his

mother earth, and it now becomes us to honor his memory, and so imitate his virtues that when we in like manner shall be consigned to the darkness of the

tomb, there may be these left who will not be unmindful of us.
