by poles usedby wopersons. one IN the bow and the
other in the stern.

keel boat, with Single roof, was hailed as nigh

remember the day when the arrival OF a Cana
dian barge las the St Louis boats were called at the
head of the Ohio) was an important event IN the
transactions OF year. ~ 49, $500
remember the day when passage Of four months
from Natchez to Pittsburg was called speedy trip
for the best craft on the river; and when the boat
men, race now extinct, leaped on shore alter COM
pletins this voyage they exhibited air of triumph
as did the sailors Of Columbus their return from
the new world.
+ remember the time when the canoe Of a white
man dared not to be launched on the bosom OF the
Alegany.
| remember the time when trader to Orleans was
viewed as the most enterprlsing amongst even the
hardy sons of the west; on hisretuin from his SIX
months trip, he was hailed as traveller who had
| seen The 2corld.
| remember the day when the borders of the Ohio
were wilderness, and New Orleans was {. toto orbe

! have lived to two splendid Cities one deyot-
ed to manufactures, the other to commerce, spring up
where, inmy boyhood, nothing appeared like civii-
cation but the hut Of the soldier or of the sutler.
have lived to see revolution produced by me-
chanca philosophy, equal to that effected BY the art
of printing Ithas changed the character Of western
commerce. and almost proved that the poetical wish
for 'annhating time and space, was not aitogeth-
er hyperfhcal. BY it, New Orleans and Pittsburg
have become hear neighbours.
have lived to see the day. when ayist to New
Orleans, from Cincinnati. requires no more prepa-
ration than visit to neghboring country town.
I l remember when ii required as much previous ar
: rangement as voyage to Calcutta.
have lived to see vessels of 800 tons arriving in
twelve or fifteen days from New Orleans atCincn-
natl, and calculate upon living to see them arrive
in ten days.
Il have lived to see vessels composing an amount
of tonnage of 1000 tons, arrive in week at the

Cure for Latenapermace.- New York Daily
Advertiser publishes another case of intemperance
which was cured by DR.. Chambers medicine. The
patient, Andrew H. Hutton, of New Castle, Della
ware, had been twelve years common drunkard,
took the last of the Medicine on the 25th of March,
and up to the 18th April had not tasted or had an
inclination to take ardent spirits The best effect
of the medicine in this is that experienced by
Hutton's wife, who says she sis now in new
world.o There is numerous class of incorporate
persons forwhose cases the medicine OF Dr. Cham
bers offers no remedy--we mean 1ipplers, who
'never drink, never get drunk''-"just take glass
of bitters in the morning, glass Or two at eleven
O'clock dram of brandy before dinner to cause an
appetite, one or two in the the meal, and
another to rinse the mouth and settle the dnner and
occasional one in the course of the afternoon and
evening-bnt never take too much" For such per-
persons the incidence is of no use--their case IS
hopeless. It is as necessary that the patient should
know that he is sick, as that the Physician should
understand the nature Of the disease to effect cure

From a late London Paper.

Fatal Temeritj-A few evenings since, the fol-
lowing dreadful occurrence took place At the Star
Inn, in Bedminister. was caravan of wild beasts,
and the keeper being in want of an attendant. a
person who had from infancy been accustomed to
the business, offered his services, and was accepted
He was, however cautioned not to go within the
reach of any Of the beasts this caution he unhappi
ly neglected. A party came to see the animals,
and as the lion asleep and did not appear will
ling to rise the imprudently went into his den
The beast suddenly awakened, and probably hungry,
and alarmed at the presence of the stranger darted
forward one of his paws, with which he seized the
Snowman by the shoulder, and at the same moment
with the other he very dreadfuy acerated the face.
The miserable man cried piteously, and struggled
to get loose but his efforts were in vain. and the H.
on now infurated seized him by the throat with his
mouth. and held him in that situation ntdeath put
period to the too horrible sufferDgs of the victim.
A gentleman happening to pass who lived in the
neighborhood, Immediately brought his pistols, and
another person called to blacksmith, who had
piece of iron redhot to afford assistance but it was
twenty minutes before the animal would quit his
prey, although his mouth was much burned at
length the head of the unhappy man fell from his
jaws, spectacle too horrible for description, when
the body was drawn from the cage. We under
stand that, under ordinary circumstances, the ami
NAL was exceedingly quiet and docile; so much SO,
indeed, that two women and two children had actu-
ally been in the cage with him the preceding day.
