CT, on the night of the llth inst Some time
after the family had retired TO bed, the house
was struck by lightning, and Mr. Hawey who
was sleeping in one corner of the house was

the fluid struck the opposite side Of the house,
aud passed down into room in the basement
story, where his son, sons wife. and child were
IN bed. The fluid passed FROM the wall TO Mrs

o. The Metropolitan states that the Govern
ment has not yet sold any of its lands in the To-
wa district, w Wisconsin. The emigrants, since
the times have gotten SO much out of joint. keep
their money, and squat upon the public lands
They thus get the of those lands scot free.
BY and by. when they have made Doney en-
oagh to pay for their lands, and the wants Of the
government compel it TO force those lands into
market, these squatters will claim the right oil
pre- -emption and prevent the land from bring
ing as much as itothcrwise would. Had the go.
vernmen, pursued policy in the sales of pub
lie land, that bordered little more closely up
on justice and liberality, and let the currency
tinkerng alone, much of it in all probability
would have been sold and many an emigrant
provided with a home Of his own.

is making to turn him out Of the Con

ask a good round sum-you can get
it-they are all anxious 10 get rid of
you. Get your money secure and
leave Washington for the West; trav-
ell as little by the day as you can, and
don't write your name on the Tavern
books; you may be roughly treated
when coming near Lynchburg.
N. B.-Take KENDALL with you,

that city and how you left it, thank
God that you have both made an es.

have both lost your heads long ago
in Russia you would have both been
sent to Siberia, and in England hang.

o. The National Inteligrncer publishes a
letter. written by Mr.. Samuel IL. Davis, former
ly of the Winchester Republican, to the Editor
of the St Louis Bulletin, by which we learn
that ronbles are anticipated from the Indians in
the west. The cause of the anticipated trouble
is the inability of the Government, to meet its
engagements. made to the Indians. BY trea.
ties, the government is bound to pay the Sacs
and Foxes about S 200 annually in specie be-
sides tobacco, salt, and horses, amounting 10 ten
or twelve thousand dollars more. The time Of
payment for the present year was about the first
of the present month, the Indians made their ap.
pearance atthe station, and applied for their mo-
ney, and were told that there was no money for
them-that the Banks had all stopped specie
payments, and it was impossible for the govern
ment TO fulfill its contract, They then demand
ed the tobacco salt, and horses, but as no provi-
sion had been made, they could not get them
The Indians left the agency in great rage, and
apprehepsions arc abroad, that they mediate
revenge.

On Thursday the Goth inst, JAMES
WILLIAM Monroe, aged % months and
I days. son Of MIR. William Lowry Of
Darksvile.
Wen plant wild flowers DER his tomb,
The living DER tho dead,
The volcts wiichiDg, soft perfume
Around his grave is shed,
As emblems of bright mem'ry's sway,
Rejecting beauty pass'd away.
We seek the spot, when the last blush
OF day is on the rose,
Aud DER the wave a deeper flush
Oh burning crimson CLOVIS,
And there we think how more than bright
Was his young day, when near its night.
We saw him come, like morning dew
Rejecting sunmcr skies,
His check blushrd with Aurora's hue,
And heaven was in his eyes;
And his bright trcsses could have won,
No brighter beauty from the sun.
He was amongst rs, as dream
OF farcr worlds on high
Flashing like sunlight DER a stream,
A moment but 10 die;
A dew drops that TO earth arc given,
But TO retuTn again to heaven.
We saw HIM on the couch of death,
More lovely in decay;
We listened as his last drawn breath
Passed on the breeze away:
His spirit left its earthly bower
Calmly, as incense leaves the flower.
We cannot weep, we cannot weep,
So tranquil passed his breath
His cy es seemed clothed in gentle sleep.
Not the dull sleep Of death;
His brow, was still as marble fair,
And ia his cheek, the rose was there.
Yes, that which through life's fevered hour
Blossomed but 10 betray,
Did not with life, lose all its power,
Nor pass with death away;
No! still il gave its lovely bloom
As though in mockery of the tomb.
But all is pass'd that bosom ne'er
Again shall ,hrob TO sorrows sigh,
That brow ne'er be the seat Of care
No tear again bedew that eye;
] will not weep, that he's al rest,
Would were with such slumbers blcss'd.

Tue REMEDY Some time since, the people
Of ChiIlieothe honored the Hon. THOMAS Ew-
ING with a public dinner, as testimonial OF the
estimation 10 which they held his public service
while in the U s. Senate. Letters OF invita-
ton 10 this dinner were sent TO many OF the DIS
tin guisbed men Of the country, and among others'
TO the Hon. JoHE SERGEANT Of Pennsylvania
who being engaged, a member OF the Penn
syIvania constitutional convention, then in SEES
sion, declined the invitation. In his letter to
the committee Of invitation, he contrasts the
present condition ofthe country, with lis former
estate At the close Of his letter, he proposes a
remedy, simple and effective, for the evil.
under which the country is suffering. This rem
edy will, we think, strike the reader as being
more potent, than any that has yet been laid be
fore the public II is in fact the only remedy
that can reach and remove the evil. Send back
TO their proper places the charlatans and knayes
whose nostrums have destroyed the prosperity
of the nation, emaciated its constitution anc dc
stroycd much Of that confidence OF the people
which is indispensable to a continuance OF Tree
representative form Of Government, and tht
times will become sound and healthy withou
delay. The following is his remedy.

been displaced, and, with a little moment TO re

BREAD STUFFs.-It was stated day

BREAD STUFFs.-lt was stated day
or two since, under our commercial
head, that contracts for delivery of
wheats of the new crop, had been made
at Richmond, as follows :--S l. 70 to
IS for parcels at the end of the present
month $ l, 55 to Co. for August de-
liveries and at s 80 for Sept'r deiv-
cries.
These are high prices, it will be seen,
in the face ola plentiful harvest, but the
actual stock of bread stufls throughout
the country is unusually low and the
prices Of the early deliveries are there
fore graduated upon the existing scar.
city, rather than on the approaching a
bundance. The price Of wheat will
doubtless keep the above " average"
throughout the year-ior we must see
another harvest before the effects, Of
Of year Of scarcity will be entirely
removed. But there is little doubt that
the price will recede considerably from
what it now is, as the supplies of the
new crop shall be made available, and
reach market. The contracts for de-
livery at Richmond. as above, may be
taken as tolerably fair index of this
downward tendency, for some months
after harvest. 1t follows therefore that
the agriculturalist who is first at mar
ket with his crop. while the supply is
at its lowest point, will be likely to Sc
cure the highest price. The stock OF
-four at Baltimore has not accumulated
to any amount, at any time during the
winter, and is now quite inconsiderable.
The prices, here, therefore, as we'll as
at Richmond, and we presume at most
grain markets in the Union, will be en-.
couraging to early deIiveries.-Bah.
