any metallic articles, such as gilt frames,
chimney CRATES, bell wires, iron case
ments, and the like. In the middle OF a
room, upon dry chair, or table, or
matrass, OR other insulating articles, is
the safest situation. Should storm
happen when person is in the open
fields, and far from any building, the best
thing he can do is 10 retire within a small
distance OF the highest tree or trees he
Cen get at; he must not, however, go
quite near them, but he should stop at
about IS or 60 feet from the outermost
branches; for, if the lightning happen
10 strike about the place, it will, in all
probability, strike the trees, in preference
10 any other much smaller object; and
if a tree happen to be split, the person
will be safe at that distance from it,"

TO THE PUBLIC.

D + was to have been hoped by myself
Il and friends, thai the late canvass for
The Office of Sheriff OF Madison county
would have been conducted with that re-
gard for moderation, candor, and truth,
which ought ever to characterize honest
and decent raen on those occasions but
our hopes have been in vain. Some Of
the friends of my opponents, finding me
too much in the way, resorled to the
most base, and untounded charges against
me, that malice could detise or their en-
nifty circulate, and that in the most un-
fair and cruel manner, starting those
charges when it was too iate for me to
retutc them, and at a time also when a
sick family and dying child demanded
and received my attention, (and this my
accusers well knew This was the
manner, and This the time, these assassins
of reputation assailed me. And | owe il
to my friends and myself, to notice in
this public manner, those un!ounded ac-
cusations. Had they been mere cleo
tioneering lies, which served the filthy
purpose of the moment, and were then
thrown away, and disowned as useless
and troublesome, should have suffered
them to die, unno,iced and despised.-
But when my character for honesty is
assailed, and an attempt is made to ruin
my reputation, l deem itot the utmost
importance 10 defend the one, ard sus.
tain the other; nor will suffer any man,
or set Of men, to asperse them unjustly.

OBITUARY.


DIEn, at spadre Bluff, Arkansas Territory,
on 'fhursdt, the LIST Of August, after sior,
illness, Colonel MATTHEW LYON, United
States Factor, for the Cherokee Nation on the
Arkansas, aged about 76 years.
Colonel Lyon was born in Ireland, but emil
grated to America, at very early period of
his life. He was one of the first settlers in
Vermont, and married daughter Of one of
the early governors ct ,hat state. During the
Revolutionary War, he took an active part in
support of the liberties and independence of
his adopted country. After the war he was
chosen to fill several important civil offices.
lie was member of the Convention that
formed the Constitution of Vermont, and was
several times elected to the Legislature of that
state. About 1779 he was elected a Repre-
sentative to Congress by the people of Yer
nlcnt.
Having been unsuccessful in al extensive
manufacturing establishment in which he was
engaged in Vermont and having a Young and
growing family to provide for, Col. l.. deter
mined to emigrate to the Western Country.
Accordingly about the year 1902, he removed
to Eddyvillc, Kentucky, on the Cumberland
river, where lie was for some time extensively
engaged in the exporting and ship building
business.
lin 1908, he was elected a Representative in
Congress from Kentucky, and was reelected
during the succeeding twelve years. He was,
also, several times elected to the Legislature
Of that state
While in Congress, no member was more at
tentive to the interests of his constituents than
Colonel Lyon; he likewise evinced his usual
zeal and patriotism on all important national
questions. During 20 years Of his life, he has
heen "A member Of different state Legislatures,
was member of Congress during IA SESSIONS,
and has been member Of or Conventions
raised for revolutionary purposes, or for form
ing or amending state Constitutio IS.
Having embarked his all in pro.noting i'm
proVements in his new settlement on the Cum
bertrand, he like many other enterprizing and
useful men, was unfortunate, and in The decline
OF life, had the misfortune to find himself re-
duced from affiuence to poverty. HIS friends
having made his mistortunes known =, the
Executive, lie was, in 1920, appointed TO the
situation which he filled at tile time OF his
death.
About E or 7monhs after his arrival in this
Territory, an election took place for Delegate
to Congress He announced Inns, II as Can
didate, aud notwithstanding his advanced age,
the short time he had been in the Territory,
and the respectable standing of his opponent,
he nearly succeeded in being elected.
In private as well as public life, the charac-
ter of Colonel Lyon stood fair; his manners
We're calculated to make friends he WAS frank,
generous and sincere, and never evinced any
thing like avindictiye disposition even toward
his enemies. .2rkanSaS Ga-e&e

MONROE, (Lou.) JULY l9.
We are informed by gentleman just
arrived In this place, directly from Mon
terey, that Stephen F. Austin, who went
Oh to the city Of Mexico, in order to OBJ
tain confirmation OF his Grant, (Which
our informant states he actually obtain
ed) sailed from thence for the mouth Of
the Colorado, on board of small sloop--
but unfortunately the sloop was lost
The crew consisted OF eleven men, all
OF whom persisted, save two. 1t is with
regret we state that Judge Austin is one
among those tha, are consigned to The
deep.
This gentleman further states that he
never witnessed such scene Of distress
as peryades throughout the country
The unfortunate families tina, have gone
on with view of settling, have become
disguised with the scene, and are now on
their return 10 the United States--bni
from want and fatigue, it is doubtful
whether all will effect safe return. He
states that it had not rained for the last
ten months, and that the crops of corn
were entirely burnt up-ard that the
Camanchee Indians were killing and
plundering the Spaniards daily. This,
we think, is sufficient to teach people to
stay at home, and abandon The idea oftry-
ing new experiments OF this kind.
