imolated in our streets yesterday. Mr.. Will
liam Mcpherson, about 80 years of age, ia
ther of respectable family in Caledonia,
came to town with load of wheat, sold it,
loaded several barrels of salt, and started
FOR home. While here, he became so much
intoxicated as to be incapable Of managing
his spirited team, and after various fantas-
tic fea:s, he fell to the ground and one
wheel passed over his head, crushing it in n
most horrible manner, causing almost in
stantaneous death. 80 that men will put

CHARLER VINCENT, a Tale Of Commercial
Lite.--rhis is the title of domestic novel
in two volumes, published by the Messrs.
Harper. The scene is laid here, in our own
most commercial city; and the author has
contrived to make very interesting story
out of such materials as are afforded by the
incidents and characters presented in the
course of our daily experience. He has
successfully demonstrated the fact that no
vel may be written--and good one too
without any resort TO historical associations,
or to legends Of the past, or to the refine
ments and complications of more artificial
state of society, or to the passions OF ruder
life, or in short tn any thing beyond the ac-
tual events and impressions Of the day, as
they are developed around us and in the
midst of US. Now this we hold to be no
small achievement. 1t is the overthrow of a
preiudice--the refutaton Of Il prevalent er-
ror--and betokens strength as well as or-
ginality of intellect The author wltlholds
his name; but ifsuccess can induce him to
step forth from his concealmcn, we have no
fears that we shall be long in ignorance OF
one to whom we are under obligations for SO
much pleasure. Coar. J' Eng.

Perhaps no place in the world can tract
of land be found more advantageously loca-

told that the soil is of the very finest des-

are entering land, would do well to hold on

THs CRops.-Finer crops than those OF
this year have been scarcely known.
Throw ghout all the wheat growing states,
the most cheering news is heard of the lux
uriance ofthe harvest. AS high as the for
tieth degree of latitude, the crop is proba-
bly, almost all secured, and two or three
weeks of good weather will place the whole
wheat region beyond danger. With us the
promises of plenty are everywhere seen.
For the irst time, the region of the Maui
NEE will export a surplus of bread stuffs,
md, but for the want of a sufficient number
Of mills, the importation of flour would be
at an end. From this harvest, the farmers
hereabouts will begin to feel easy in their
circumstances, and the growth of the coun-
ty will be more sensibly felt than ever be-
fore. The merchants, also cannot tail OF
receiving great benefit from SO favorable
n state of agricultural affairs, and may now,
with good reason look forward to some
thing like real business.
MILLINo.-The want of grst mill ca
pable of performing large amount of work.
will be severely felt in this place, the com.
ing year. good steam power like that at
the mill of Edward Bissell, Esq. of Toledo,
with all the apparatus tor making superhne
flour, would not cost SO much as to be be.
yond the meals ofmany of our citizens, and
if several of them would join, the cost would
scarcely be felt. The crops of the presen,
year will more than furnish employment tol
all the mills we have, and good steam mil
in Maumee City, might, at very safe cal
culation keep four runs of stones employed
from this crop, henceforward. That mi
ofthis description would be source Of profit
no one who considers the chances for full
employment can doubt; and that it will
turn large amount of trade from other
towns, to this, to the advantage Of all our
citizens is indisputable. Not only so, but it
will be source of pride to all, to see the
nucleus of a manufacture that will, one day,
be so extensive, commenced and flourlshing
here.
