A BIDE TO THE COTOTBY.

We took a flying trip on Friday and Saturday last, about thirty miles northward, to snuff the fresh air of the country and see some relatives we have not met before for about twenty years. We were well paid for the time spent, and must catch up at home by calling on our excellent friend in distress, a faithful pair of scissors.

There is hardly an end to Indiana corn-fields this year, as we can testify from what we saw on both sides of the road we traveled, and with seasonable weather to come, the crop will cro*n the farmer's labor with the richest abundance. He will have to make new cornpens. as the old will hardly hold the immense yield now certainly anticipated. We were glad to notice too, that the fields were generally clean, laid by, and only awaiting the usual showers to come to perfection.

The wheat was generally cut, and hauling in, or threshing on the ground then going on, and the quality, as well as the yield, seemed to be satisfactory to the farmers with whom we conversed. The oat crop is rather a failure grass in many places heavy, and mowers were then using the scythe in the fields, with pleasant weather to aid their efforts to husband the provender. Fruits of all kind seemed plenty, and as it was the midst of the cherry season, thrifty housewives were full of buiiness in preparing and laying away the winter's stock.-— Apples were hanging from every branch, and in many places, breaking down the trees, as they increased in size daily. Parke is decidedly ahead of Vigo in the fruit line, and furnishes much of tbn best fruit used in this market.

Armiesburgh and Montezuma had entirely grown out of our knowledge since 1835, especially the latter, where town property is now about as high as at any place on the Wabash, in anticipation of the rail road from Indianapolis to Springfield, which is to cross the canal and river at that place. The land generally between Raccoon and Sugar Creek, taken as a body, is not excelled by many places in the State, and a few years more, when it is more improved, oponcd, cleared and studded with residences, will favorably ^compare with any country inthewost. We did not see Rockville, but we suppose, of course, tho county seat leads all other towns of the county in the way of healthful improvement. A newspaper establishment io spoken of, soon to be commeuced at Montezuma, which, as usual, may have a hard existence for a a few years, as such has been invariably the case oven in larger places. We wish all such enterprises success, though the chances against them are often two to one.

When wo go from home again, we hope to be able to present our readers a moro interesting account of our travels, until which, accept the abovo 33 enough for tho preuont,

\LT Prof. Sorts, of the Charleston Courier, was in this place recently, and did us the banov of call. We are glad to see him looking so well, and to hear that he has very flattering prospects before him but wo notice he has taken the pains to write to his paper as follows -.

I have enjoyed a call on DonRldcon, of the Express," whose face is the emblem of a nunr.y morning, and whose heart, as usual, I found bubbling over with the milk of human kindness:—

For which we shall challenge him to mortal combat over a good dinner, the first time we find him hungry. Our face it rather large, but we hardly thought it would compare well with all out of doors But there is no way of doing any thing with these editors who have to stoop down to peep into a martin-box. G'lang Jno.

E7* Tho Ben Franklin Provision Store, (Isaac Brown) is furnished with a new stock of eatables, which are offered low. A bakery has also been added to the establishment, so that most every thing for tabic uso may bo had at Mr. Brown's. Of course, the proprietor wishes to sell, and will mnko good his promises, for he would not publish one thing and do another. Our experience enables UB to vouch for the Ben Franklin, which furnishes us a large part of our daily food, often bought by our son of sroenyeart, and found as correct and good, as if selected by older heads and hands.

WASHINGTON MONUMENT.—The managers of the Washington National Monument Association have hit upon a plan of raising funds, which is likely to be very successful. They have appointed a special agent, to receive contributions at the New York Crystal Palace.— A model of the monument is placed there for exhibition, and around it are contribution boxes, of plate glass, so that each visitor may have an opportunity of casting in his mite into the fund for the completion of tho work. The rootiument has been built up to the height of 139 feet,, and when completed it will be 620 feet high. The total estimate cost is $1,500,001), and $200,000 have 1 ready been expended.

EIOKTT MILIS AN Houa.—Tho Pennsylvania Railroad Company own 43 locomotives, of which twelve are of a capacity equal to a speed of 80 miles au hour. The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad have 141 locomotives, some of which are of equal speed.

ANOTHER VIOLEKT DEATH. We were not at home last week to witness the trial of a Mr. Livingston, of Ky -, on a charge of killing Dr. /. W. Gordon, of Parke county, Indiana. It was an infamous affair, we take it, all around. Both the men "were married, and were contending for the possession of a female, who, we hear, had some money and but little beauty of person, and less beauty of mind. Lust, and the love of money, were doubtless at the bottom of the tragic affair, and we are rather surprised at the easy time the defendant had on his trial, as he had just taken the life of an individual reputed to be his half-

(West Dnion, Parke county,) tor interment, wept over by his widow and family. The accused, though cleared, will have a sting in bis breast which time cannot alleviate or abate. A correspondent, in another place, reviews the.case tartly, having been present, to whose article, for further particulars, we refer the reader^

-REMKDT FOE CASCEE—Col Us6ery, of the parish of De Soto, informs the editor of the Caddo Gazette that he ful'y tested a remedy for this troublesome disease, recommended to him by a Spanish woman, a native of the country. the remedy is this: Take an egg and break it, pour out the white, retaining the yolk in the shell put in salt, and mix with the yolk as long as it will receive it Stir them together until the salve is formed put a portion of this on a piece of sticking plaster, and apply it to the cancer about twice a day. He has tried the remedy twice in his own family with complete success. Cancer has usually been thought incurable this remedy ought to be remembered. *."

U-Cornelius Demott, an old citizen of Parke county, recently committed suicide. The Whig says he had selected a flat or hollow place on the trunk of a fallen tree in the woods, where he laid himself down upon his back, placed a gun with its muzzle against his breast, ranging it in the direction of his heart, had theh taken tho ramrod and with it had set off the trigger! When found, his right hand still grasped tho ramrod, and his left lay on the wound, grasping the clothing surrounding it. In this manner he had died. The whole transaction seems to have been planned with a coolness of deliberation which renders it the more shocking and horrible.

O" There is alway more than one way to transact any particular business, and we always liked originality.

ttT We published au article last week, about a Mr. Craig who had been swindling some of the good people north of this, in the way of hatching up claims to land fcc. The following is about tf=e same person which shows be is coming to a bad end:

POISONED HIMSELF.—Toliver Craig, of Newport, Ky., who was recently arrested on charges of extensive forgeries, took poison yesterday about noon, and at 8 o'clock last night was in a dying condition. Hehad previously drawn up his will. Verily the quiverings of conscience dt sometimes shatter the iron nerves of tho strong man.-—Cin. Eng.

ID" Wo hear that a mad dog, (containing a great many cases of hydrophobia) was seen in the neighborhood of the Prairie House on Monday night. Men and boys were in hot pursuit, and had trrtd tho animal under a barn, Rnd were waiting to sacrifice him as soou...as he was foolish enough to come out.

We hoar also, that, a rattle-snake seven feet long, was recently killed on the river bank at Durkee's Ferry. He had just swam over the river to this side, to make his dinner on a yearling calf. Folks better be careful.

m"The Rockville Whig states that Mrs. CAROLINE DARROCH. wife of Mr. JOHN DARROCH. and daughter of Major A. M. PUKITT, of Rockille, was killed by lightning at the residence of her husband near Rensselaer, Jasper county Indiana, on Saturday, the 2d inst.* Her husband was not at home when tho sad accident occurrcd. Mrs. D. was a kind and affectionate wife and mother. She leaves, besides her husband, six small children, her bereaved father *nd several brothers and sisters to mourn her untimely death.

Washington Republic.

We are now receiving this paper $a9y, for which we are much obliged to the publisher. The Republic is well known as an able, spirited, and efficient coadjutor in the promulga. tion and defence of Whig principles as heretofore known and contended for. Its advertisement has announced that it proposes to for* sake the stormy path of party politics and betake itself to the spread of useful and entertaining facts, general and local news, and to fulfil all the requirements, of those who desire to see in Washington a spirited, prompt, and accurate medium of intelligence. The publishers aim at furnishing such a journal as will comply with the necessities of a growing city, not making politics the prominent topic, as heretofore. We wish the paper success. fVsid

O* Some few weeks 6ince, the circus of Spaulding & Rogers (the Floating Palace,) exhibited at this place, without a license. The matter was then talked of, and it was supposed, as the boat was on the river, no charge for license could be made, by the county, or the city. The following will throw some light upon the subject:

The Memphis Express says the caseof Spaulding vs. the corporation of Baton Rouge, for damages, laid at two thousand and five hundred dollars, for the seizure of their Floating Palace" by the authorities of said corporation, last winter, for refusing to pay the usual circus tax, was decided by the United States circuit court, at New Orleans, last week, in favor of the corporation. The plea set up by the plaintiff to navigate the waters of the United States, on giving security that the revenue laws would not be violated, was considered by the court as extending to vessels engaged in commercial business.

O* Some of the most important empires on the globe are, says the New York Herald, now ruled by young men. The Emperor of China, Hien Fuug, is now in the twenty-second year of his age and the third of his reign. It will be recollected that he is of the Tartar or Tu-tsing dynasty. Prince Chu-kisin, of the Ming dy nasty, who aspires to the throne of China, is about nineteenyears old. The Sultan or Shah of Persia, Nasserad-Din, is about twenty years of age. Abdul-Medjid-khan, the Sultan of Turkey, was born in 1823 of course he is now little over thirty years of age. The Emperor Francis Joseph, of Austria, is nearly twentythree, having been born in August, 1830. He ascended the imperial throne in December, 1848. These empires embrace more than onethird of the population of the world.—Madison Banntr.

LIGHTNING Rons.—-The Scientific American in some remarks on this subject, gives the following as the essentials of an effectual rod

A thick iron or copper rod extending above the highest part of a house, continuous in its connexion, perfectly insulated, kept separate and distant from any large metallic body, and terminating in a moist part of the earth, such as a pool or well, is a perfect lightniug conductor."

The same journal says that copper is preferable to iron, though it is somewhat more expensive. Where the chimneys of a house nre uot near together, branch rods pointed with gold should run from.each to a common stem.

PROFANITY AND INTEMPERANCE.—At the recent meeting of the Grand Masonic Lodge, in Indianapolis, the following resolutions, reported by Judge Downey, were adopted:

Resolved, That the use of profane language, is, by this Grand lodge, declared to be grossly uninasonic, and highly injurious to the character of Free Masonry.

Resolved, That, in the opinion of this Grand Lodge, it is highly unmasonic for any member of the Masonic Fraternity to engage in the manufacture or traffic of ardeut spirits for a beve rage.

Resolved, That it is the duty of all subordinate lodges under this jurisdiction, to correct the evils of intemperance iu all their members as speedily as possible.

ET The Washington Republic of the 12th inst,. has the following AEKIAL FLIGHT.—A friend requests us to say that in the course of a few weeks Mr. Rufus Porter will be ready for the upper regions, bound for the World's Fair,in his Aeroport, or Flying Car, and that the most expensive and troublesome part of his invention is already finished. Shares to enable him to complete the machine are offered for sale by his agent.— An opportunity is thus offered to our citizens to aiu the inventor, and to test the practicability of navigating the air by means of this contrivance. The price of "round-trip tickets" is not yet determined.

O" It seems that the Hon. Walter B. Scates has been elected Supreme Judge of the Southern district of Illinois, by a very large majority which is claimed as a triumph in favor of liberal policy, in opposition to State policy. It is also looked upon as a favorable indication for the prospects of the St. Louis road, in which so many now feel an interest.

O* We learn from the Vincennes Gazette that on last Friday night, a young man named Solomon Gimbel retired to bed in apparent health, and in the morning was found in the repose of death, having evidently died without a struggle. He was a young man of fine qualities.

THE TRAGEDY—MORALS AST) THE PRESS. MR. EDITOR: I look with some curiosity, not unmixed with interest, to see what you will say about the recent tragedy. The local press, in part has spoken on the subject: have you anything to add or has the reproof you have recently received for having alluded to a transaction which some fastidious people thought in rather bad taste, intimidated you

One public journal states very coolly that Gordon and Livingston, two half brothers, quarrelled about a woman, that the latter carried her off to a house in the country, that the other pursued and overtook them, when an affray ensued, in which Livingston stabbed Gordon, causing his death that Livingston was examined before a magistrate and acquitted with applause, while Gordon's widow was weeping over his dead body, which constituted a prob lem in morals and ethics which the editor was not in a mood to solve.

Another journal makes about the same statement, with the addition that Livingston claimed the guardianship of the girl that after killing Gordon, he delivered himself up, and was examined before a Justice of the Peace, th&t the case was submitted without argument, and Livingston was acquitted on the ground of self defence that that (the acquittal, or the grounds of it, I am not certain which) appeared to be the universal opiuion, as far as the editor conld ascertain.

With this transaction, or the parties to it have at present little to do: my concern is with the press, as connected with public morals.— A transaction occurs which, for moral turpitude seldom has its equal in any country, and the press, well informed on the subject, passes it by in the manner above quoted. A man living in Kentucky, who disgraces a noble profession by his nominal connection with it, leaves his wife and family, and takes up with a woman who has barely sense enough to constitute her an accountable being, perhaps seduces her, for so Gordon alledged, finds it inconvenient to carry on his illicit intercourse in the neighborhood of his family and brings her out here, places her with his half brother for a time, and returns. In a few months, impelled by his damnable lust he comes to reclaim her, but Gordon refuses to give her up. On their way here, Gordon, Livingston and the woman being on the same boat the men quarrel, and their quarrel is finally settled, how? The terms of the armistice, brought about with the aid of the captain of the packet, were that the two men should go to two respectable hotel", and then the woman should leave the boat and repair to whichever she pleased. The worthy proprietors of these hotels were not aware of the arrangements made to send them such valuable additions to their custom—how much must they have felt obliged when they learned it. The girl, poor thing, went into the jaws of the rattle-snake, of course. Her power to resist the destroyer was gone long since. But Gordon, not willing to give her up sends a spy to watch his rtidvements, and consults counsel to know what can be done. Livingston finding himself watched, escapes with his prey, and takes lodgings at the house of a respectable farmer in the country, of course passing the woman for his wife. Gordon with threats of vengeance pursues him, and Livingston runs a spenr through his heart, gives himself up fur trial, is acquitted with shouts of applause, it is said, makes an arrangement to have his girl sent to tho cars, which he intercepts a few miles out, and goes on his way to infamy and deep damnation.

Now, who would have suspected a transaction of this sort, from what those guardians of the public morals, the newspaper pre-s, were pleased to say upon thesubject? Theeditorof atleast one journal must have known the facts for he was the public prosecutor he heard the testimony and submttied the chse without argument too. He gravely tells us, with the gentleness of a dove, that Livingston claimed the guardianship of the girl. Say, sir, was it not proved in your face at the trial where you were the prosecutor, that they were found in bed together? and this the public prosecutor and journalist calls claiming guardianship. By the way, I have looked into a law book to see if I could find out what sort of guardianship this was. I find various kinds defined, but none that seem to answer to this definition.

Some shouts too. it seems, greeted the wretch on his acquittal, which, considered with the distress of tho widow of the murdered man, presented a moral question too difficult for an editor to solve. What, were you placed there for, sir, but to solve such questions? Could you not have said that he whose heart would prompt the shout of applause at such a triumph should also glory in his mother's infamy and rejoice at the violation of his sister, and have said it truly

•f.\ California Indians. Mr. Crockett says: "I have often heard it said that several tribes of California Indians subsist upon clover during the summer months, but supposed until recently, that this was only a figment of the imagination. It appears, however, to have some foundation in fact, if the following newspaper account of them is to be believed: "Singular jS utrimerit of the Digger Indians. —The Columbia Gazette says that there are two considerable Indian villages in that vicinity at the present time, and the Indians, who looked as lean and gaunt as half-famished wolves during last winter, now appear to be enjoying all the luxuries that au abundant supply of clover and an occasional supply of beef and bread can afford. The hills in the vicinity are verdant with nice, tender clover, which is devoured by these poor savages with as much gusto as an epicure would devour the most dainty dish. They gather the clover in baskets, and prepare it for use by heating large stones and placing a layer of clover, well moistened, between each layer of stones. It soon becomes ready for use, and each of them will est a sapply of clover thus prepared., that would almost satisfy a horse." •s'v.'y i--l

Important Surgical Operation. Drs. J. Taylor Bradford, of Augusta, Kentucky, and A. Dunlap, ofRipley. Ohio, performed, on the 14th, an interesting operation. (Dr. Bradford using the knife.) which reflects much credit upon them, and deserves a notoriety world-wide.

The operation was for ovarean dropsy the patient, a young* lady of Mayslick. Kentucky, only 21 years old. The tumor when removed, weighed forty-one pounds and a quarter, and contained, imbedded in the fleshy part of it. a large piece of solid bone, together with a series of long scales, or flakes upon the inner surface of the en tire sack.

Miss Harrison, when attacked with this disease—the hybra—offemale complaints, was only a little over nine years of age.! She has" been afflicted with ii some eleven years—been under the treatment of many respectable and able practitioners, and before calling on Dr. Bradford, she consulted one of Kentucky's most distinguished Surgeons, but was told the case was hopeless.

In consequence, I understand, of guarding the important points in these difficult operations. Drs. Bradford and Dunlap have united their experience, and are operating in partnership, sometimes one operating and then the other, sharing alike the responsibilities and honors.

This is the fourth successful case in which Drs. Dunlap & Bradford have operated—the tumors weighing severally 24, 32, 37,and 41£ pounds.

Miss Harrison was operated on in Augusta, and is being nursed by Mrs. Fishback, that careful, diligent, untiring, and beloved mother of the sick room, so well known to that community. This is the 14th dav since the operation, aud Drs. Bradford & Dunlap pronounce the .case a successful one.— Cin. Cum.

THE SU8PICI0US MAW 7

Tliis kind of indiviual is always smelling a continuous line of rats. He sees, hears, nor dreams of anything, in which he does not "smell a rat." The most harmless action of his neighbor, under his suspicious and inquisitorial disposition, is made a matter of serious investigation, because he knows there is something in the wind, for hfc saw his neighbor. Mr. B.. speaking very confidentially to Mrs. S.. that very morning in the market. He puts that and that together, as he calls it. and connects this whispering in the morning with something he has heard in the barber's shop, some weeks before, and he is satisfied his neighbor B., is either going to fail in business, or abscond without giving his creditors due notice.

The most terrible p'art of such a man's character, is that he places such faith upon the corollaries he draws from his false premises. that he does not hesitate to give wing to the base suspicions of his mind, and frequently is the means of bringing about a disaster which never would have happened but for him.

Many happy friends have been rendered desolate—many a prosperous young man brought to ruin —many a virtuous and amiable girl been driven to despair by the fiendish innuendoes of the Suspicious Man. No man. however upright and honest—no woman, howeverirreproachable—no maiden. however pure is safe in the neighborhood of the Suspicious Man. He has all the curiosity of Paul Pry, without his good nature, and the malignity of the devil, without his talent.

If ever Lynch law is justifiable in a community. it is exercised on the Suspicious Man. Rotten to the heart himself, he has no faith in the virtue and honesty of others. He exists in a state of continual doubt of the motives and actions of others, and in consequence his life is, at the best, but a prolonged misery.—i\r. 0. Delta.

SHAMEFUL,

The rowdies in Cincinnati amuse themselves by cutting the dresses of ladies in the street. Several rich dresses have thus been ruined within a few days. The court, in sentencing one of the perpetrators last week, remarked that it was an act of tbe most outrageous character, combining a depravity and despicable meanness unparalleled in the history of petty crimes. There being no law defining the punishment of such a crime, the court was compelled to sentence him to the extreme penalty of an assault— a fine of S25 and costs, and to be confined in the dungeon of the county jail for ten days, to be fed with

By the mails this morning we have New Orleans papers of Saturday,^in which we find Rio Grande advices to the 19th ult. The trial of Carvajal and his associates had been removed to Galveston, where the grand Jury of the district court was still in session enquiring into the outrages committed by Major Norton and 1iis accomplices on the town of Reynosa. Mr. Snagle the Deputy Sheriff at Brownsville has been killed by Mr. Conrad, the editor of the American, in self-defense. He gave himself up and was tried and acquitted. A bad feeling exists between the citizens and filibusters.

The latter threaten vengeance on the citizens aA. skirmish had taken place between Capt. Granger's Company ot U.

Show me the man who desires to make every one happy around him. and whose greatest solicitude is never to give just cause of offence to any one, and I will show you a gentleman by nature and practice, although he may never have worn a suit of broadcloth or ever have heard of a lexicon. vv.'.*U*e
