been created by the singular conduct o.
alarge dog who has infested the road tc
Mercer, about mile frem-towa, for sew;
eral months past. He runs mp and down
Atheefoad for the distance of two miles,
fowiing and exhibiting all the distress
which is usual in the canine race when
lost or separated from his master. Kind
ness and compulsion have been used to
have him quit the road, but all have pro-
we'd unavailing. Several attempts were
made by very expert marksmen to shoot
him. but ne seemed to bear a. a''charmed life
and escaped unhurt.
He has made hollow log his lodging,
and has subslsted principally on the car
cass Of an animal which had died and
had been hauled out into the woods by
oae of the neighbors. 1t was thought
that he might have belonged to some
traveller who had perished in the woods,
but the most diligent search has been
made without discovering any thing
which would oorroborate this opinlon.--

TOWNS UPON THE LINE OF THE WA
BASH AND ERIE CANAL

We intend as we shall be enabled to collect
the requisite information, to give our readers
brief description of the several towns upon
the Wabash and Erie canal, or, which will be
in any way benefcially effected by that work,
embodying in our remarks such facts in relation
to their age, growth, present size, future pros
poets and the manner in which the canal will
effect their interests, as we shall be enabled to
learn from the sources of information, which
may be within our reach. And we would re-
spectfully request the owners of property at,
and the citizens residing in such towns to rem
der us such assistance as may be within their
means, for which our thanks shall be always
ready.

out, and considerably damaged. Per-

MR. EDITOR:
Sir:-It seems to me that
the people Of this place are cupably ne
gligen, in regard to the proper measures
to secure themselves from losses by fire.
] believe that there is no engine or orga-
nized fire or hook and ladder company
in this place; and in my walks about
town | have had frequent occasion TO
observe instances of,it strikes me, al
most criminal-Gs~elessness, in the expo
sure Of houses and other property to de-
struction. Large numbers Of new hous-
es are weekly going up and being finish
ed i; and as these buildings are mostly
constructed of wood, it follows of course,
that immense quantities of highly COM
bustible matter is scattered around and
among them. These buildings, when
completed, are used as dwellings, stores,
or what is worse, mechanics shops, and
the rubbish being frequently left in their
neighborhood, or even under their floors,
is in continual danger Of taking fire, and
the damage which could thus be done in
one windy dav is almost incalculable
and would undoubtedly have an irrepa
-rable-rffeot upon the growth Of our, a
pfeseHl, growing and fiourishing Iown.

EDITORIAL SUMMARY.

Several Schooner launches have taken
place within a short time, at different
ports upon the lakes. We notice the
Nicholas Bid die and Brandywine, at
Erie, the S. B. Ruggles, at Dunkirk,
and one built by Capt. Westcott, at
St. Josephs.
The steamboat building at Perrys-
burg, under the superintendence of Capt.
Pratt, will be launched on or about the
25th of this month.
The steamboat Monroe, says Buffalo
paper, left that harbor for Detroit, on the
I'd inst. but as nothing has been heard
from her at this end of the lake, it seems
most probable, that she was forced back
on account of the ice.
ltis stated, that the Bridgeport, Conn.,
bank has stopped payment. Theydon't
owe US but $500.
The schooner Com. Lawrence, of HUI
ron, commanded by Capt. R. Smith, was
struck by lightning on FridayIthe 5th
inst. The fluid passed downboth the
masts, shivering them to pieces, and
throwing the fragments n every direc-
ton, and passed off by the chain cable.
The hull of the vessel was not injured,
and the crew escaped without the slight
est hurt.
The lake is open as far as Dunklrk.
A line of elegant packet boats has been
established on the Ohio canal, between
Cleveland and Portsmouth.
The New York papers predict that
the price of -four, in New York, will be
reduced TO $500 before long.
More than two million bushels of for
eign wheat have been imported into this
country from abroad, within the last
twelve months.
The fund commissioners of Portage
county. have concluded to loan the por.
ton of the surplus revenue belonging tc
that county, 10 the bank of Cleveland, IA,
six and half per cent. The amount is
thirty-six thousand dollars
The Mormons. says the Ohio Star, are
sending their runners into different parts
ofthe state, and buying up all the horses
they can get, and paying for them in
Mormon money.
The number of failures in the city o
New York, amounts at the last advices
10 two hundred and fifteen.
General Gaines has been spoken Of ii
Tennessee as a candidate for the office
of Governor at the next election.
The ice remained firm at Buffalo a
the last advices, but il is to be hoped
that by this time vessels have been ena
bled to reach that place. There are said
to be a large number of Immigrants, and
a heavy amount of goods waiting the
opening of navigation, to be shipped for
the west.

From the N. Y. Daily Express. !

The picture our columns to-day pre-
sent of the finances of our country, and
of the world, is the most distressing it
has been our duty to draw. Mississippi
is convoking her legislature--a power
less body to remedy, the evils Of these
times !! Stop, stay, relief, and replevin
laws, are the panaceas proposed for the
times-measure which if adopted, wo'd
stamp everlasting disgrace upon the
state In New Orleans, the distress is
aggravated by the fact, that such .prodi-
gious sacrifices of property are necessa-
ry to raise money to meet debts. From
Havana we have doleful accounts. Eu-
rope too is sad in the forebodings it
sends Us. W s
No plague, nor pestilence, nor fire..
no storm, nor war has ravaged the
worId,-but what has brought US where
we are =? The answer is-the highest
award to the power Of our country, and
the deepest disgrace upon our oppres-
sors who have perverted it to wrong
The -balance-power of the world
as necessary as the political balance
is disturbed. The ship is sinking, for
the ballast is all on one side. Conf
dence which is the calm upon the sea,
is gone, and the storm howls, and the
waves dash-and there is no helmsman
to guide. Closely linked as we now are
with England and France, whoever ex-
peliments upon US, experiments upon
the world. 1t is absolutely necessary
to the existence of the bank of England,
that she have back the specie, an undue
proportion of which we have, and the
world will be convulsed till the prize is
won. The bank Of England must either
suspend specie payments, or have back
her specie, but loaned 10 us, and for
which we owe. Till her struggles are
over, our cotton and produce must go
down-our resources be cut of-our
credit dishonored; and though we may
succeed, robber-like in holding the plum
der we have got, yet the contest will be
one of terror, overwhelming our mer-
chants and PLANTERS here, and starving
half the population in the large manuiac-
turing cities of England and France
Never was there contest so unneces-
sarv and so worthless. Gold and silver
now do US no more good than they would
the famished man, who was dying for
bread. Concert ofaclion between ours
and the government Of England, would

stopping to view. that country, concerning
which SO much truth and falsehood has been

MEETING OF THE MERCHANTS OF N. York.
A meeting of the merchants of the city OF
New York, was holden, at the masonic hall
in that city, and was attended by several
thousands. The objects of the meeting, as
stated in the address of the president, were,
the taking into consideration the distressed
condition of the city, and adopting some mode
Of relief. The addresses given, and resolutions
adopted, show in strong and vivid language
the great pecunary troubles under which not
only the merchants but all classes in that city,
and throughout the whole county now labor,
and point out the causes which have brought
upon the commercial community the present
pressure and distress. The following resou-
tion, shows their opinion respecting the
cause.
Resolusd, That the wide spread dis
aster which has overtaken the CONNER
cial interests Of the country, and which
threatens to produce general BANKRUPTCY,
may be in a great measure ascribed TO
the interference of the general govern
ment with the commercial and business
operations of the country; its intermed-
ding with the currency; its destruction
of the national bank; its attempt to SUBJ
stitute metallic currency for credit
currency and finally, to the issuing by
the president ofthe United States of the
treasury order, known as the specie cir
GUAR"
The meeting further resolved, that COM
mittee of at least FIFTY should be appointed to
repair to Washington and remonstrate with
the Executive against the continuance of the
specie circular, and to urge its repeal, and al
SO to ask, that orders be given to the collectors
of the U. 8. revenue not to commence suit
upon bonds which may lie over, for non-pay-
ment until after the LIST of January next, and
further. to urge upon the Executive the pro-
-priety of calling an extra session of Congress,
for the purpose of devising suitable remedies
tor the present state of affairs
