Office; and the risk of their delivery
to the persons to whom they are adj
dressed should not be thrown upon
the department.
The service is performed in the
Transmission and should be paid for
at the time, and by the person seek
ing the aid Of the department. The
immense number of letters transmit
ted to the Offices to which they are
directed, and returned as dead let
tiers to the department, shows the
Importance and necessity of this
change. 1t is estimated by those
having charge of the dead letter of
flee, that they average about three
hundred thousanh quarterly, and
the first quarter under the new law
about four hendred thousand. The
department receives no compensa-
ton for their transmission, and is at
the additional expence of forward
ing them through the mails to the
dead letter office. In addition to
this loss, an immense mass of print
ed matter is sent through the mails
Which is never called for by those
to whom directed, and which is not
required to be returned to the dead
letter Office.
The prepayment of postage would
put an end to the practice, too COM
mon, of sending anonymous commu-
nications through the mails, inten-
ded annoy and harrass the persons
to whom addressed as we'll as the
still more common practice of scat
tering newspapers, pamphlets, &C.,
throughout the whole land, when
any particular object is to be effec-
ted, by addressing them to persons
not ordering them-often refusing
to take them out--and for which,
even when taken out and paid, the
department receives no compensa-
ton adequate to the expense of car
rying them in the mails. 1t might
diminish the number of letters, even
under the present low rates Of post
age, sent through the mails, but
would certainly add to the revenues
OF the department. The pay on the
dead letters would surely exceed
the probable loss which might arise
form diminution Of correspon-
dence.

EXEtUsIUN OF A BOY,
by AN EUROPEAN HANGMAN.

BY AN EUROPEAN HANGMAN.
A few years ago was called out
of town to hang little boy, who lad

ice q/orethougM. If guilty he must
have been in the habit of going to
the executions. Ten thousand came
to dabble in the poor young crea-
ture's blood. This was the young

the way of our business, and a beau
tiful child he was, too, as you have
seen by the papers, with a straight
nose, large blue eyes, and golden
hair. | have no heart, no feelings !;
who has in our calling? But those
who came to see me strangle that
tender youngster, have hearts and
feelings as we once had. Haze?
no, had; for what they saw was fit
to make them as hard as our servant
and his master.
They saw that STRIPPING lifted,
fainting, on the gallows; his smooth
cheek the color of wood ashes-his
little limbs trembling, apa his bosom
heaving sigh after sigh, Is if the bo-
dy and soul were parting without my
help.
This was downright murder, for
there was scarcely any life to take
out Of him. When | began to pull
the cap over his baby face, he press
ed his hands together (his arms you
know were corded fast to the body, }
and he gave me beseeching look,
Just as the calf will lick the butch

this creature muttered, pray sir

him, and | do think | should have

Now let me tell you about our
bear fight. Some eight Or ten of us,
came across an old she bear and her
two cubs; (and by the by they were
of the grizley breed of bears) and
we surrounded them in thicket.
placed two men at each stand, with
directions that one should reserve
his fire in case of an attack, so as to
prevent accidents. We then sent
some of the boys into the thicket to
drive, and after some time, the bears
made their appearance. One of our
men fired and wounded the old bear,
and as she passed me l gave her an
other shot through the body, away
she ran up ravine believing and
growing prodigiously. We soon
found they were all in a thicket, and
one of the party fired upon and
wounded one of the cubs, when it
ran away also screaming Justify. In
few moments / found the old one
again and gave her another shot
through the body from the other side.
She now ran down the ravine to
where Morgan Keys was stationed,
who gave her another shot, thus at
tackled on all sides, the old lady
made chase after Keys, whose only
chance was to run, his gun being
discharged. He ran for life towards
where | was standing, and l had
barely time to get between him and
the bear, when she turned after me.
| now had recourse to my pistol,
(not having my gun loaded) and as
she made a grab at me | placed it
against her neck and fired, which
turned her a complete summerset.
Keys now run up and fired at her
with his pistol, when she again gave
chase to him. Our only chance now
was our knives, l drew mine and
pursued her, but she gave up the
chase of Keys and again took to the
brush. After hunting some time we
again found her and Jack Robinson
fired upon her. She turned upon
him and pursued him when run in
and shot her through the head, which
ended the battle.

The latter is a thin, spare man,

SEPTEMBER 10th, lS4;

Dear SIR Permit me to inform
you that | am now on the west bank
of Louis river, about one hundred
and seventy miles below Fort Hall,
in good health, but with many cares,
owing to my situation in the compa-
ny. They selected me as their COM
mandcr, when we first set out on
our journey, with the assurance that
| should be relieved from it in a
month or two. But since that time,
| have endeavored in vain to get rid
of this arduous task. | still have
the command of forty-one Wagons,
with sixty-tive men, well armed, and
about one hundred women and chill
drcn. You know, that in among so
many, there are always some who
are ungovernable, but in the main
behave very well. We have great
trouble in getting up our cattle in
the morning, sometimes five or six
are gone, when we have difficulty
in finding men willing to stay behind
and hunt for them; especially when
there is danger Of Indians. We have
been molestcd by them but little,
though the PawneeS on Blue river,
killed some of our cattle and stole
six horses from us. Afterwards six
Of them came into our camp. es-

them and kept them under guard
until morning, which alarmed them
very much, and We were never
troubled by them again.
We have had hard times for wan;
of grass. When we first came on to
Platte river, we had good grass. but
as we passed up that river, it became
worse until we came to Fort Lara
ME, where we found it exceedingly
scarce. For some miles above that
place on Sweet Water, we found
good grass on the bottoms, but on
the uplands, there is nothing but
sage, or worm wood as some call it.
| must say to you, that it is a much
greater undertaking to go to Ore
gon, than most men think. But il
the country is as good, as it is rep
resented to be, those who go to ii,

TuEA,iERlCAN FLAG,

We are all accustomed to the Ea-
gle, the Stars and the Stripes in Our
national ensign. But this flag was
not adopted until l777; previous to
which time there had been hard
fighting by sea and land under other
devices, which are now matter of
curiosity and history. The Pine
Tree-Me Tree IF Liberty-was tho
American standard at the battle Of
Bunker Hill. The Liberty Tree
with the motto GAN AppEAL 10 Con-
was another Revolutionary flag. But
the original banner of the Revolui
ton was the RATTLE-SNAXE WITH.
the significant motto "doni tread
upon me-"
This ensign was in high favor with
DR.. Franklin and others, as a most
characteristic national emblem -
the Rattle-Snake being indigenous
to our country; living in the wild
and free range of nature, where it
can subsist, uhmolested and unmo-
Testing; never attacking unless it is
invaded; never fetreating from man
or beast or reptile never striking
unless it gives its enemy warning;
and when it does strike, its wound
is fatal.
The Pine Tree and Rattle Snake,
with the motto "Don't tread upon
me-" was first hoisted on the water,
by the famous John Paul Jones on
board the American Frigate Alfred,
Dec, l776, in the Delaware river at
PHILADELPHIA.

John Smith, Jr., of Arkansas, in
N. York, writes to Charles G. Green,
of Boston, during the great -four ex-
citement, that "the N. York church,
es were very well attended to-day,
especially by the citizens who are
engaged in traffic and trade. One
or two flour dealers who sat near
me, appeared to be very contempla-

their souls were lowering around
the purlieus of the -four market, in
stead of the portals Of paradise.
