Proud wealth and splender both were hers
And all was peace within:
But run spreads its baleful lures,

Wouldst thou its Cause Of misery trace,
And whence that pallied mien'
Go. view its home-there 'rayed in vice
Is curst ntemperance seen.
See yonder train--the sable plume
Bespeaks the tale of NO;

For whom those sorrow flow.

Alas how chang'd, these pesgeants tell,

In ascending the river, it was ne
cessary to keep the vessel close to the
shore, some OF which were on one side
of the river, and some on the other;
it happened whilst one Of these skiits
was near the north side of the river, a

Michigan. A few weeks ago our
citizens were gratified by witnessing a
handsome foot race between two young
men, one a native ofthis Territory and
resident of this city. and the other a
native and citizen OF Ohio. The Ohio
man was tall, rather slender. but mus
cular, and had the appearance of a
runner. The Michiganian, whose
name is BertheIet, has nothing extra.
ordinary in his appearance-he is about
FIVE feet Z or s inches in height, and
weighs about l40. Many bets were
offered against the Michiganian which
were not taken, a few only being a,
ware of his speed. They ran IS yards

800 dollars only were staked, mostly
IN small sums; and on "Wednesday

in our main street, in the presence OF
several hundred spectators. The dis.
