At our last annual meeting, the impor-

Sickness at the Wet.-The Peoria
(lll.) Register OF September 2sth, states
that IN unusual decree Of sickness prevails
in many parts of that county, especially
upon the bottom lands along the water
course The upland praries were general
ly healthy. Within the last two weeks
there had been about twenty cases Of sick
ness in Peoria, and two deaths. Popula-
tion about 1900. The st. Louis Republi-
can of the same date says:
ALI the numerous accounts which we
have received from different parts of this
State and Illinois, concur in representing
this as season of unusual sickness. A
high grade of bilious fever has prevailed
generally throughout the country, varying
only in the virulence of the attack, which
if taken in the early stages, mostly yield
rapidly to medicine but if delayed often
proves fatal. The most singular feature in
the season; and one which appears to have
been universally observed, is, that the
towns especially those on the rivers which
are considered more unhealthy than those
in the interior, have almost universally es-
capped with less sickness than common.
This has been the fact in our immediate
vicinity. The sickness and bilious attacks
in 81. Louis have been fewer this, than
former seasons, whilst scarcely neighbor-
hood in the country round about has esca.

Of the country merit the attention of medi

"NEw JERsEY-ALL RIGHT I"

So say the federal prints; and so say we,
New Jersey is all right. Aud had the gues-
ton been upon the Congressional Ticket,
which is always voted for by the psople Of
the whole State instead of by districts, the
Democrats would have succeeded by ma.
jority Of near fifteen hundred! The Demo
cratic majority in the popular vote is near
Two thousand; therefore, the rejoicing of
the wings at the gain they have experien-
ced, is only rejoicing at the success of
well-Planted piece of cheatery. The Dem
ocrats are glad because they have the ma
jority of the votes, and will thus secure
their FIVE members Of Congress the Wings
because they can "jerry-mander" with
such happy results.

A QEeer A1air.--On Monday, ruthcr a
queer case occurred ia front OF Mr.. Sander
sons hotel, in Fourth street. A gentleman
named Stroud was viewing the procession
in honor of the arrival Of President Van
Buren, and in putting his hand into his pock-
Ell to extract his handkerchief, he pulled out
a purse and pocket book, neither Of which
articles belonged 10 him. The surmise is,
that they had been deposited there by some
pck-pocket, who being pushed rather hard,
made use of the sailors maxim, Any port

OUR OWN CONCERNS.

This number (26) completes year and a
half since our connexion with this paper,
and i, has now become absolutely necessary
that the small sum due us from each Of our
patrons be paid. We have claims pressing
upon US that must be settled, and we have no
other resource 10 leok for means 10 iqudaie
them, but to our subscribers, not having
either PrOthonotsry or Collectorship to
sustain us. 1t is true that the sum due
from each is small, yet it is from such small
sums that we must make up large ones.--
Our terms, il will bs remembered, are two
dollars, if paid within the year, if not, fifty
cents to be added. From such as will now
pay us, the extra will no; be charged. We
hope that such OF our subscribers at dis
tance as have no, paid US any thing from
the commencement will forward US a five
dollar bill, that we may credit them year
in advance. Wood, and Grain Of all kinds,
will be received in payment
