THE WESTERN

FLYCEjYMZS, may 1, 1824. The Vincennes Thesfiian Society hav. in rehearsal the celebrated comedy cr Speed the Plough, which is intended to be the last this season it is expected the performance will be on the evening of the IQth inst. the season, the piece, and the object, should produce a full house. The Circuit Court for Madison county commenced its session on Thursday last Thomas Harper, John T. Bridge, John Bridge, Andrew lawyer, Stephen Sawyer, and James Hudson, were indicted lor the murder of the Indians on Fall creek; but in consequence of the indisposition of the Hon. W. W. Wick, the president judge, the trial was laid over mail the next term, which takes place on the 7ih of October next. Gazette. COMMUNICATED. To the Hon. Isaao Blackfqud, Jesse L. Holm an 5c James Scott. Gentlemen. Having seen a publica

tion in a newspaper in the eastern part of j

the State, objecting to the re appoinment of H. P. Coburn as clerk of the supreme court, on account of his inability to discharge his duty as such ; to that objection permit mc to add in the most forcible manner rny conviction that he is no way qualified, and there is in my opinion nothing but lack of capacity in his opponents when he was first appointed 'ogether with a belief that he was a good, moral, poor young man, and would improve, that can account for his being put into that office. He having had near five ycurs experience, we btill find he cannot write a hand capable of keeping a record, and as his term of service (i' 1 understand the meaning of the constitution) ivill expire in a few days, I hope to see that office confercd on a man qualified to keep it tiTa proper manner his hand w riting is in itself sufficient to leave him oat, on the score of virtue and morality, how can he expect a reappointment from your honors who are all men of families, and famed for morality, if he hus been guilty of what he is generally believed to have done in the family of his benefactor in Corydon. The man that supported him for the first two or three years that he resided in the state, when there was scarceiy the shadow of a prospect that he ever could repay him, but if be never could have made him the usual pecuniary compensation had not his landlord a double claim on him for gratitude and correct deportment, and I leave the manner in which that debt of gratitude was paid to be accounted for bv those that know more of it than myself

I the state is bound to support Mr. Coburn like a gentleman, 1 for one would rnuch rather see an annual appropriation for his benefit, than to see him continued in one ot the most respectable offices in the State; the duties of which we find from experience he is not qualified to discharge. JUNIUS'. A . r Mmvm " J J I 1 EMS. The French journal of Science, on the authoiity of M. Veaux, states that the throwing flour of Sulphur on the fire in the grate when the chimney was on fire, instantly extinguished the fire in the chimney and a blazing faggot near the top of it, which was burning with great fury. CURIOUS FACT. By placing a candle at thirty degree from perpendicular, the fljme is not encumbered with the wick, and the air that passes bv the flime completely destroys the snuff; so that a candle placed thus, never wants snuffing, and gives one half more light than one placed in the usual way. The small fiox still prevails to an "alarming degree, in the Cities of New J'ork and Philadelphia. It is stated that the small-pox was raging badly in England, in February last. Sulfifmr a preservative against Mta9fts. During the winter of 18 7, the mcasels prevailed epidemically at MunSter. Children aflccted with the itch, who were using sulphur, externally anil internal!), were exempt. In 1822 measels occurred again, preceded for many days by a convulsive cough. For this symptom, I prescribed flour of sulphur an I white sugar, half a teaspoonful. Many trials were made on children of different families and ages and all who took it in time, escaped the disease. AT Tourtual. Mr. Kan'doi th, remarking in his usual rambling way upon the protracted sessions of Congress, observed that as the vernal equinox was now passed, he thought it was time that every member who did not intend to rely on the public crib, but to feed out of Ida own corn houe,

should go home and plant his corn." Shift Building.-" 104 vessels we are credibly informed, are now building in .

Michigan, it is believed, will on account of the number of inhabitants of the territory, be entitled to admission into the union, as a state, in two years hence. A discovery has been recently made, which promises the most important consequences in a commercial and agricultural point of view. About two years ago 280 acres of land, near Flint, in Wales, were planted with the common hollyhock, or rose mellow with the view of converting it into hemp or flax. In the process of manufacture, it was discovered that this plant y ields a bright a and permenant blue, equal to that of Indigo. Annual Regsister,for 1822. German Cement for mending Glass and China. Reduce, separately, to the finest powder, equal quantities of unslacked lime and flint glass, and as much litharge as both of them together; the proportions to be adjusted by measure, when reduced to powder. Mix them well together, and work them up into a thin paste with old drying oil. This cement, or paste which is very durable, will even acquire a greater degree of hard, ness when immersed in water.
