DlED-A few days since, in the vicinity of
Nine au Breton, Mr.. Moses AUSTIN, one of the
earliest American emsrants to this country.
This gentleman had been very extensively en-
gagged, during many years, in working the
Mines au Breton, Of which he was one ofthe
first proprietors, but relinquished them some
time back, as well as his residence in Missouri,
for an object of higher Importance.
MIR. Austin was the person who obtained the
valuable and extensive grant of land at the
mouth of the River Colorado, mentioned in
this paper few weeks since. lie had but
few days before THIS melancholy event receiv-
ed from the Vice Roy of Mexico confirmation
of the conditional grant made TO him and Ba-
ron Bastrop by the council of San Antonio, and
was ust on the eve of his departure to put
himself at the head Of his little colony, when
the handofdeath arrested his further progress.

OLD FARMER.
FOR THE SPECTATOR.
ALARM.

A circumstance has lately transpired
which l wish to acquaint the people
with-and as am we'll acquainted with
the affair, shall endeavor to make cor
rect statement. The Commissioners
Court for Madison county, lately APP
pointed a supervisor of public road,
and his district was described as usual
the supervisor attempted to perform his
duty, but was prevented by the inatten-
ton of some of the hands within his pre-
cinct. Some of said hands have been pre-
scented and fined for neglect; one Of
those individuals had been called three
days to work on the public road, and
failed two of those days-for which he
was fined. But he performed one days
work on the public road as he said, for
which he brought suit against the super
visor, before John Barber, Esq. and OBJ
tanned a judgement against the supervi-
sor for one dollar with costs OF suit
If this procedure meets the sanction OF
the people, it will be an alarming time
with supervisors, as we'll as instruction
to justices of the peace.-And the man
that called the citizens of Madison coun-
" to Eds ardsville, on the seventeenth
day Of March last, for the purpose of re-
monstrating against the unparalleled and
unheard of proceedings of our last legis-
lature, will be apt to be wakened up
long enough to pay them for the loss of
that cold snowy Saturday. The saper-
visor alluded to wants information, as he
intends to try to get round the above
judgement, and all such.

FROM THE VILLAGE RECORD.

The article On Newspapers select
ed from the Long Island Star, is SO full
of good sense, that we beg of our sub
scribers, if they have neighbor who is
not able to take paper and does not, to
lend it to him to read. We have no
doubt but the perusal will add SO to our
list-and the more the merrier,' the old
saying goes.
Some will pretend to say, perhaps that
the times are hard, and they cant afford
it, Now this, to 9-lOths who make the
excuse, will be without any just founda-
ton. Cant afford it? Why what ,riile
it is. A small glass of gin, or pint of
beer, which, as Corporal Trim said, is
gone in moment,' will cost more, by
so per cent than a Newspaper, which,
after being read by the Father of the
Family, will impart pleasure and in
struction to the Wife, the Children, the
Servants; and .hen, remember it is
worth half its costs as wrapping-paper,
fit is not thought best to preserve it.
A Newspaper is school in family
of children worth ten dollars year
Even the most barren paperbrings some
thing new. Children read or hear the
contents, become intelligent of the at
fairs of the world, and acquire store OF
useful knowledge, of more importance
to them in life than a present of fifty acres
of land. Parents are not aware of the
past-we say with confidence the vast
importance of a Newspaper in family
Of children. We have made the remark
before, and VIC repeat it; take 9 families
Of children equally smart and both going
to the same school, let one Of them have

No hand Can tear thee from thy seat;
My breast thy pleasures shall enshrine,
Until this heart shall cease to beat.
Thou futile action cease to boast
Thou canst grateful soul suffice;
any worth Is mere forever lost.
And here thy merit ever dies.
Thou clam'rous tongue, thy noise control,
Nor let murmuring sound intrude;
'Twould but disgrace feeling soul
That loves TO foster Gratitude.
Ye balmy tears which sof ly steal
From Gratitude's o'erhowing eve,
