COUNTY COMMISSIONERS.

The person who handed in the nomina-
lions for License Commissioners last week,
was mistaken as TO the individuals composing
one of il,erickeis. The committee appoint
ed for the purpose have made the necessary
corrections, and the two tickets arc now
fairly before the people. The one is UNDER

favor of judicious discrimination in the ex-
ercise Of The power confded TO them, and

tent. The other is radically opposed to the
entire traffic, and if elected, will grant no Ii
censes for the sale of liquor, except for medi-
cina purposes. This brings the subject fair
ly home to every voter in the country; and,
surely, no one will complain of the result,
who recognizes the voice of the people as
the will of God.

evening of last week. 1t is not well settled

of its progress, that not a solitary article was
saved from the building and the adjoining

year since, and had been but recently rebuilt

prompt, energetic, and untiring efforts of the

probably some eight thousand dollars, with
an insurance of only $500. The occupants

SUICIDE.

ALFRED c. BURDIcK, son of Mackson
Burdick, formerly of this town, put an end
to his existence, on Tuesday last, by hang
ing himseIfIn his fathers barn, at Wes(ord.
lie ives % years Of age-a young man of
good habits, and fine promise. He had
recently embarked in the pedling business,
and purchased, a few months since, guam
tiy of goods in New.York. But his business
mad proved less successful than he anlicipa-
ted. and he found his paper falling due, with.
out the means to meet it. Honest, unso-
phislicated, and unused to the expedien,s
trick-trade and cvasIons of the world-lhi.
was state of things not TO be endured. lie
looked to the dark side of the picture alone
until his mind became distempered, and the
longer he dwelt upon it, the less he saw
worth living for. 1t does not appear that he
had sqnandered or misappled the property
but had assets TO show for all he had recei
we'd. But his name was about to be dishon.
ored; and, Forgetting those higher obligation,
which reason and revelation enoin, he fell {
victim to the keen appreciation of higl
principle, which, in the merchant and man o
business, is the foundation of all that is en-.
nobling and honorable.

brought to close. The internal tranquility
of the country, threatened by agtating
questions has been preserved. The credit
of the Government, which had experienced
a temporary embarrassment, has been ahor-
ougldy restored. Its Golfers, which, for a
season, were empty, have been replcnished.
A currency, nearly uniform in its value, has
taken tho place of one deprecated and
almost worthless. Commerce and manu-.
features, which had suffered in common with
every other interest, have once more revi-
we'd; and the whole country exhibits an as
pect Of prosperity and happiness. Trade
and barter. no longer governed by wild
and speculative mania, rests upon solid and
substantial footing and the rapid growth of
our cities, in every direction, bespcak most
strongly the favorable circumstances by
which we arc surrounded.
My happiness, in the retirement which
shortly awaits me, is the ardent hope which
| experience, that this state of prosperity is
neither deceptive nor destined to be short
lived; and that measures which have not
yet.received its sanction, but which cannot
but regard as closely connected with the
honor, the glory, and still more enlarged
prosperity of the country, are destined, at an
early day, to receive the approval of Con-
gress. Under these circumstances, and with
these anticipations, | shall most gladly leave
to others, more able than myself, the noble
and pleasing task of sustaining the public
prosperity. / shall carry with me into re.
,iremcnt the gratifying reflection that, as my
sole object throughout has been to advance
the public good, I may not entirely have
failed in accomplishing it; and this era,ifi.
cation is heightened in no small degree by
the fact that when, under deep and abiding
sense of duty, l have found myself con
strained to resort to the qualified Veto, j
has neither been followed by disapproval OF
the part of the People, nor weakened in any
degree their ATTACHMENT 10 that great con
scrvative feature of our Government.

small trunk, when one of them, Mr.. james
Horton, about twenty years of age, being
awakened by slight noise, started up, saw
the figure of man in the room, and missing

IMPORTANT FROM MEXICO.

BY an arrival at New Orcans from Mcx.
co, report is brought that the American
Minister had demanded his passports. and
that serious revolution had broken out in
Jalisco.
The following is probably near the truth
IN regard to our Minister. Gov. Shannon.
in communication TO the Mexican Secre.
tary, protested agains, the proposed inva-
sion Of Texas. To this the Secretary re.
piled, denying the right of the United States
or any foreign nation to interfere with the
internal relations of Mexico. Gov. Shannon
rcjoIned in a strain of great Indignation,
complaining of the terms in which the Sec
rotary alluded to the United States, and CALL
ing for withdrawal Of his letter. At tho
last accounts, the Mexican Government re-
fused to withdraw the letter of its Secretary,
and Gov. Shannon consequently threatened
to demand his passports.

CHRIST AND THE CENTURION.

By MISS ELIZA BAYI.Y.
IT was a morn in Palestine, when forth
From Pilates gates n long procession passed
The sun was up in all his MONDAY might,
And helm and corsclet elitiered in his beams
While an oppressive languor, like the heat
Ensendcred by the Sroc's fiery breath,
Fell on the senses, lulling them into
A dcathlike drowsness. Before the walls
A mighty crowd was ga,hercd-they had come
To gaze upon and mock the Holy One
And expectation had attained its height.
But note the sudden hush that falls around
The trumpet sounds again. and through the arch
An humble figure, with face OF swec,
Unmurmuring mildness, though the clottad blood
Streams from the crown Of thorns upon his head
Walks firmly on. A massive cross he bears
Upon his shoulders. But the weight is less
Than that which griefllath cast around his mind
Not for himself but for the souls whom he
Game but on earth to save. Laughter and Jest
Un,imely mrth and mocking lips are still,
With an involuntary thrill OF awe
As he comes forth Who could survey that brow
And not feel touch'd by its sublimity?
And now they pass the cty's walls, and far
In the wide prospect mournful Calvary
Is lust discernibe The sun is yelled
With clouds that have dark porenlous look,
And Eolus hath loosed the keen West wind
To howl requiem fitted to the hour
O'ercome with thirst, with the long march ia
tisued,
Jesus would fain repose himself awhile.
Even this they grant not-laughing al his thirst
A sponge they dip in vinegar, and press
The vintage TO his pale and feverish lips
Ard, as he stasgers meath his burihens weight,
A bearded soldier steps without the ranks
And smites him on The cheek TO chidc his slolh.
But Jesus, calling all his dignity
Into that noble countenance, but bends
A mournlnl look on the centurion,
Exclaiming in the same unatered tone,
/ 60, bit larry thou until come.

THE PARADISE; OF TEARS.
TFrom The German of y. Muller.l
BY WILLIAM CULLEN BRYANT.

Br WILLIAM CULLEN BRYANT
Beside the River of Tears with branches low,
And bitter leaves, the funeral willows grow;
The branches stream, like the disbevelled hair
Ofwonen in the sadness of despair.
On rolls the stream with perpetual sigh,
The rocks moan wildly as it rushes BY,
Hyssop and wormwood border all The strand,
And not flower adorns the drcary land.
Then comes child, whose face is like the sun,
And dips the gloomy waters as they run,
And nostens all the region, and, behold
The ground is bright with blossoms manifold!
Where fall the tears Of love, the rose appears,
And where the moss is wet with friendships tears
FotSet-me-not and violet, heavenly blue
Spring, slittcrng with the cheerful drops of Gcw.
The souls of mourners, who no more shall weep
Float, swan-like, down The currents gentle sweep,
Go up The sands that shine along lis side,
And in the Paradise of Tears abide.
There every heart rejons its kindred heart
There in a long embrace, that none may part,
Fulilment meets Desire, and that fair shore
Beholds It's jewellers happy evermorc.
