A DREADFUL TRAGEDY. The Georgetown,
Ohio, Standard, of the 18th inst, says On FIJI
day morning last, Mr.. Hugh O'Nei, OF Perry
township, in this county was found dead near the
door Of his house, and his house burning over the
posrderod bodies of his wife, and three children o
p. O. Riley. who were living with the deceased
From circumstances, it was supposed that he muir
dered his wife and the three children, set fire to
the house, and cut his own throat, No other
cause can be assigned for this horrid deed than
mental arrangement.

"The humiliation of space" says d
late number of the North American Re-
view, "occasoned by the introduction of
steam into navigation, is in nothing more
wonderfully exemplifed than in the time
within which ii is possible to travel from
New York.to Jerusalem. The fact may
be startling 10 our readers, but il is never
theless true, that person favored by cir
cumstances, may reach Mount Calvary
within thirty three days after leaving
Broadway. Thirteen days may take him
to Bristol, two to Paris, three TO Mar
settles, ten to Syria, four to Jalfa, and one
from there TO Jerusalem. And the French
steamboats, plying upon the Mediterrane-
an, to Syria, to Alexandria, to Greece. to
Smyrna, and to Constantinople, are safe
and pleasant vessels, and we'll found in all
respects" What would Mrs. Grundy
have said at this fifty years ago !-Bost.

A little group of veterans-fve in num-
Der, one Of whom was Gen. Jackson, all
OF whom were companions in the early
settlement Of the Mississippi Vallcy-lab-
pcned together at the Post Office in this
place few days ago, when, III the course
of their conversation about events of olden
time, they mentioned their several ages,
which, added together, made an aggregate
OF 2sS years. Ofthe five, Gen. Jackson,
who was "A in March, is the youngest.
These brave and persevering pioneers
of this region, who were among the first
to penetrate the dense forcsts-who sub
sisted on the game they could take as they
passed along, clad themselves in the skins
OF beasts, and fought their way westward
over the corses of red men-made notch.
es on the trees beside their pathways. as
guides for their return, or for the direction
OF those who might come after them, and
lclled the green canebrakes that ilourished
on the side of our own beautiful city
seemed to enjoy vivid recollection of the
retrospect. Their contrasts of this coun-
try with its now flourishing cities. its
steam navigation, its M'Adamizcd turn
pixies, its cultivated fields, and its immense
population, with its wild aspect in earlier
days, was of the deepest interest to tho
young who witnessed their interview.
Each has more than numbered his three
score years and tcn--and one of them,
who is now more sprightly than half the
young men at twenty, has entered on his
fifth score. We wish them many de-

spent lives. They must soon pass away
but the freshness of their memories
shall co-enduro with their country's his

Thirty-,hrcc Day, TO Jerusalem !

Nothing marks the present age more
strongly, perhaps, than the wonderful IA
clitics afforded for travelling. In the i'm
provcmen,s steam has introduced into the
mode of conveyance, space seems almost
annihllatcd, Half century ago, and a
Journey from Boston TO New York was
viewed Il most serious undertaking, not to
be engaged in without grea, consideration
and, i~somc instances, solemn prayer IN
the churches. Now one crosses the At

At the particular request of the editor

this occasion, from the following text:
fyc are honest, honorable men,
Go yc and--pay the printer.
My heaIers-There are many seeming
trillcs in this world which you are too apt
to overlook on account of their apparent
unimportancc, the neglect of which has
plunged thousands into the deepest mlre
of misery, and sunk their characters into
inex,rcablc degradation. Among those
ostcnsibc lrilles, that of ncglecting to pay
ones honest debts is the most common,
and attended with the worst of conse-
quences. 1t takes of all the silken furze
from the fine threads of lceling--creates a
sort of misanthropic GOODNESS about the
heart-skims of the cream that may
chance to rise upon the milk of gencrosi-
tv--and makes man look us savagcly up
on his brother man as does n dog upon
one Of his species while engaged in the
gratifying employment of eating his mas
tcr's dinner. One debt bcgcts another
| have always observed that he who owes
man dollar is sure to owe him Z
grudge; and he is always more ready to
pay compound interest on the former thar
on the latter. Oh, my friends, to be owe
head and ears in love is as bad predca
mcnt as person ought ever to be in ; bn
to be so deeply in debt that you can
sleep of nights without being haunted b!
the ghost of some insalatc creditor, i
enough to give man the hydrophoba--
make him bite u whcclbarrow-causc
to run mad, and create general constcr
nation among the lamp posts.
MY dear lrionds-thc debt that sits hca

From the Genius Of Liberty
Health of Northern Illinois.

During the three last years the I'M
healthincss of this region has been extern
sively reported; bu, facts and philosophy
furnish data for the conclusion, that this
inviting portion of the state might be &C.
cupied by healthy population. The
rcputed ill health of this country is to be
attributed TO the bad locations of the in
habitants, nineteen twentlcths OF whom
have planted their habitations by streams,
low lands, and timber, for the greater con-
vcniencc i'll point of wood and water, and
covert from the winter blasts and also
other circumstances olconvenicncc. The
conclusion that far better health might be
enjoyed, will probably be sustained,
when the dry and airy prairie shall have
been occupied.
To spread nut this subject in detail
may afford some satisfaction to such rs
would emlgrate, could they indulge ;
reasonable anticipation of health; but ar,
now deferred by settled opinion, tina
good health can aeve be enjoyed by til,
tenants of this western soil.

that we find Il clue to those conc,s;o,
upon this subject that are sustained i
facts. Vapor, when set anoat by the n
ton of the heat, seeks its next r,s,i,

denslng cause or causes. Exhalato

forest trees; and contrary to the fearful
apprehensons of the inhabitants surround
ing this fountain of miasma, no calamit-
Gus results were experienced. 1t is by
no means certain that any of the miasma
arising from this pond, settled upon the
limited valley surrounding it. For al
though the degree of heat might be sulli-
cicnt 10 lift up the poisonous eilluvia till
the hour of three or four in the afternoon,
1t was probably too far distant at the re-
turn of night, to come back TO the valley,
in defiance of the attractions of the forest
crowned hills; while the vapor sufficient
ly near at night to fall back TO the valley,
having risen after the heat of the day had
too far declined to raise miasma; fell
back as it rose, pure vapor. On the
other hand here is my Illinois neighbor
down at the edge of the timber, where
the fountains Of miasma are far more pro-
life than the pond to which allusion has
been made but when night comes on,
the miasma finds no resting place among
lorest-clad- as in the other case, but
the point of strongest attraction is the
land he occupies, and the foliage of the
grove.
Will it fall upon the heated soil of the
higher prairie around my dwelling, mile
distant from him This till nature shall
have changed her laws, is a result not to
be anticipated. We share no part of the
miasma of the ncighborhood, but on the
contrary, it returns to him in connection
with much that has originated on the
higher prairie. say much-lor during
the summer several hundred acres have
been broken up by the plough on the ele-
vation | occupy, which gives Off no small
portion of eGluvia. But on whom does
it fall at night! Not upon us who occu-
py this elevation; but repealed by the
greater heat of this soil, which is sensibly
warm to the hand after the lapse of night,
it will seek ainities at the grove, where
the juicy foliage of the forest is momen-
tarly cooled by the return of night, and
where the water course, and a soil of far
greater moisture, all uniting, form COM
bincd and powerful attraction. Thus we
arrive at the just conclusion, that instead
of wide dispersion of the cilluva, which
rose near my ncighbor, till it should
prove harmless, i, has gathered down
upon him, attended also by that which
had taken its leave of our higher and
warmer ground; and the result is that
his dwelling is hospital, while joyous
health is in our habitations.
In conclusion may say, am not cons
cious of having said any thing calculated
to make wrong impression, unless it
might be supposed, from the proceeding
description, that mortal sickness is prey
alent in the unhealthy portions to which
alluslon has been made. In all places
where disease has been general the three
past years, but where they are exempt in
wet seasons, the bill of mortality has been
astonishingly light.
