THE WESTERN SUN. VINCENNES, jult 23, 182$. The editor has received a letter from Albion, Illi. giving him information of a distressing occurrence which happened at that place, on the nihtof the 12th instant, by which a promising young lad has been hurried to his grave. It appears that at the time above mentioned, about. 10 o'clock in the evening, the family of Mr. Richard Flower's, were disturbed by a noise in. front of their house, upon which Richard Flower, a youth only 15 years of age, stept to the door; -when he discovered two or three men, who immediately asked him in an insulting tone, "if he knew' how to fight?" he calmly replied no, nor did he wish them any harm, whereupon, the youth in attempting to return into the house, was struck upon the back of his head, by a leg bone of ar ox thrown by the assailants, he survived the blow only long enough to give an account of the transaction; the ruffians immediately decamped. The next morning however, the neighborhood turned out cn masse, and secured them in jail, to await their trial. Should not the law be put in force against these mid-night marauders, where will be the security o" families against a repitition cf like enormities. Mr. Stout. You will please to insert my name in your next paper, as a candidate for a seat in the next state Legislature. WILLIAM SCOTT. July 15, 1825. Mr. Stout.

Vincennea offering no suitable place of divine worship, at least outwardly testifying the inward piety of its inhabitants, the Catholics of the town and neighborhood, notwithstanding their acknowledged poverty, propose to have" a neat, if not a splendid brick churchy erected in the course of the present nnd ensuing seasons. Should their fellow citizens and friends wish to join them in the attempt, or benevolently aid the enterprise; they would gratefully accept of their assistance. Altho it is for the celebration of the '".V-Roman Catholic worship. Still all who con"Uuct themselves properly, will be allowed admittance as well as possession of pews. Sunday next, July 24th, 18C5, at three oVlock in the afternoon, a meeting of all the members of the congregation to consult upon the most proper means to carry the project into execution, will take place in the school room of the sisters, all persons desirous of attending will gratify us in accomplishing their wishes.

The following were the toasts drank on the occasion. 1st The day we celebrate the day of the resurrection of the rights of man ; this day the sun cf liberty has triumphed over tyranny and oppression. 2d The Patriots cf the revolution. The blood of our fathers cries into us from the groundsaying my sons scorn to be slivcs. 3d The declaration of Independence. This matchless production cf human geniu . is worthy to be engrav en in letters of gold. 4th The Federal Constitution The production of wisdom, irtue and strength. 5th The United States. The 24 constel laticnscf liberty let eacli recollect its proper orbit; the violence of one, would mavr the political happiness of all. 6th Our sisters of the Union. Prosperity to all let no envious passions or invidious distinctions sepcrate us. 7th Our public servants. When they fail to do the will of the people, may they be beaten with many strips.

Lafayette His fame as lasting as the cause for which he bled. 16th Thomas Pavne.
