The honorable and elevated character OF the
trust confded in the hands OF the Executive Of
the United States, will always bestow on his an
nual message the power OF exciting in all ranks
OF society, an ardent solicitude for its perusa =
lis nature and object alone, independent Of the
character OF its views, and the extent OF its in
telIectual merit, give it surety OF eng con-
sidered an important public document. The
peculiar characteristics OF the present crisis-,he
recent manifestations Of popular opinion-and
the relations which now subsist between Martin
Van Buren, and the people Of the United States,
all contribute, in great degree, TO influence the
general anxiety which is usually felt in regard 10
the reading and bordering Of the annual com.
municaton OF the Executive. Hence. the mem.
bers OF all parties, religious and political, civil
aud social, nstinctively dis cover an unusual
curiosity TO learn, what Martin Van Buren,, in

Am Awful Casualty ina New York.

The New York Sun states that
about 2 o'clock OH Thursday after
noon, the occupants of the house in
the rear of 1913 Mulberry street, were
alarmed by the report of a musket,
discharged in the attic room, and on
rushing up stairs they found that
Thomas Hogan, aged about fftyyears
had committed the act of self destruc-
ton and was weltering in his blood.
Scarcely had the first stunning effects
fthe sensation caused by this melan-
choly circumstance subsided, when it
was found that the wife Of the ill-fated
man had swallowed a considerable
quantity of a solution Of corrosive sub
Innate, which had been used for de-
stroying vermin, and that she was IN
the last agonies of dissolution. Drs.
Power, J. B. Nissan, &c. were quick
ly in attendance, but in very short
time the wife was stretched beside
her husband, like him lifeless piece
of clay The coroner was immediate
ly on the spot, and jury summoned.
A great number of witnesses were ex-
amined, and it appeared that Hogan,
who had been previously married, and
had several children by his former
wife, had been living very unhappily
with his second wife-that they had
quarrelled yesterday morning-that
on his returning at dinner time they
again quarrelled, and that then he
had gone to the attic room, and taking
loaded musket that stood in an adj
joining closet, had shot himself
through the heart The ball entered
in an obligue direction the left ventri-
Gle, lacerating the lungs, and after
passing through the scapul or should
went by the window.

SaagEaaaion OF the BLOOD.

The repeated changes in the atmosphere, by act
ing as they do upon the consistence and quality of
the blood, give occasion for the most fatal and ma
lgnant disorders. The blood from state of health
becomes stagnant and is plunged into state of
corruption.
Thus it loses its purity: its circulation is impe-
ded; the channels Of life cIogged the Joscels be-
come cOstice, and if not ali immediate attack of
some malignant fever, headache, nausea, loss of
appetite, and general debility of the whole frame
are sure to follow.
1t requires the tempest and the tornado to bring
about state of purity in the ocean. when lis wa
tiers become stagnant; and it will require repeat
ed evacuation by the stomach and bowels before
the blood can be relieved of its accumulated inn
purity.
BrGndretA'S Vegetable UnirerSal Pills,
should be taken, then there will be no danger; be-
cause they purge from the stomach and bowels
these humors which are the cause of stagnation,
cleanse the blood from all impurities, remove every
cause Of pam or weahneSS, and preScrCe the const
tutlon in state of HEALTH and vIGoR that causual
changes cannot effect.

4 FUR TRADE ADVENTURE.
BY WASHINGTON IRVING,

Golfer with the hardihood of regular ira
der, had cast himself loose from the party
Of Lewis and Clarke, in the very heart of
the wilderness, and had remained to trap bea-
yer alone, on the head waters of the Mlssou-
ri. Here he fell in with another trappcr like
himself, named Potts, they agreed TO keep
ngether. They were in the very region of
@ terrible Blacktcct, at that time thirst
ing to revenge the death of their companions
and knew that they had to expect no mercy
at their hands.
They were obliged TO keep concealed all
day in the woody margins of the rivers, set
ting their traps after night-iall, and taking
them up before day break. Ii was running
a fearful risk for the sake of few beaver
skins, but such is the life Of ,rapper.
They were on branch of the Missouri
called Jeflerson's Fork, and had set their
traps at night, about six miles from small
river that had empticd itself into the forks
Early in the morning they assembled the riy-
or, in canoe to examine their traps.
The banks on each side were HIGH and
perpendicular, and cast a shade over the
stream. As they were softly padding along
they heard the trampling of many feet upon
the banks. Golfer Immediately gave the
alarm of indians = and was for instant re-
treat. Potts scohed at him for being fright
ened at the trampling of a herd of buiiaIoes
Golfer checked his uneasiness, and padded
forward. They mad not gone much farther,
when fr'gh,iul whoops and yels burst forth
from each side of the river, and several hum
dred Indians appeared on either side
OF the bank. Signs we're made to the
unfortunate trappers to come on shore
They were obliged to comply. Before thew
could get out of their canoe, savage seized
the rifle ofPotis. Golfer sprang on shore
wrested the weapon from the hands of ,be
Indian, and restored it to his companion
who was still IN the canoe, and Immediately
pushed into the stream.
There was sharp twang of bow, and
Potts cried Out that he was wounded. Col
