Merico and TeraS.-It is currently
reported, that negotiations have been en-
tered into, between the Governments of
the above countries, having for their OBJ
ject the recognition by the former of the
independence of the latter, upon the con-
dlion that the project of annexation to the
United States be abandoned on her part
The proposition is said to have origna-
ted with Mexico. by the advice of the
French and British Ministers, who are
understood TO be zealously laboring to
bring the contemplated arrangement to a
successful issue. How much credit is
due to the report. we are unable TO saw !;
but, as the Congress of Texas are to meet
on the approaching Fourth Of July. for
the express purpose of celebrating upon
the question of annexation to the Ameri-
can Union, we presume the matter will
be decided, one way or the other, in the
course of a few weeks.-.4H0n Tel.

GGNT.-I learned last night from tho Hon.
Jas. Shields, that Commodore MonnIs would. in
lew days, be ut your place, sent cut bv the Pre-.
sdent 10 explore the canal route aud the lakes,
and ascertain the proctlcablity of constructing a
ship canal, and the establishment Of dcpots, etc.
ON the lakes. The Commodore will certainly be
with you shortly-perhaps before this note reach
es you. The project is magnificent one, and
confidently believe will eventually be consum-
mated. Of course you will give the gallant tar
glorious reception. w. l.. ID. EWING.

We have received one or two numbers Of the
Omitted States Journal" Formerly the Madlso-

s, Co, who modes,ly offer to exchange with us if
we will do about ten dollars worth Of advertising
for them AS they charge but 81 n year for their
paper, and we have been selling our own at that
rate, we guess we can't trade. Besides, to be
candid, we care very little about exchanging with
paper that appears to have no higher object in
view than to injure the influence and usefulness
of the Washington Union and Richmond Enqui-
rer, journals that fear this ghost of John Jones
paper can never hope to rival. We npprehcnd
Mr.. Dow has embarked in what he will find sor-
ry speculation, and an "amazng sight less prof.
table than THAT agency business he was engaged
in few years ago.

Ever since the explosion Of the State
Bank Of Illinois and the Shawneetown
Bank, the State of Illinois has been de-
pendent for her paper circulating medium
upon other States. Ohio and Michigan
have chiefly supplied her paper currency,
and greatly have the farmers Of this de-
voted State been shaved by irresponsible
bank issues. One institution, located in
the Territory of Wisconsin, furnishes
now a large portion of the currency for
northern Illinois, and southern and ives.

which allows the issuing of certificates of

ally issued at Chicago, assume on their

No one can doubt but that the lcgisla-
ture Of Wisconsin never intended that n
Company, chartered for the purpose of
insurng against losses by fire and water,
should exercise banking privileges nor
is it less questionable, that the issuing of

Early Haruesting.--A gentleman who
is an extensive planter, residing few
miles from Edenlon, N. c., commenced
cutting his wheat on Thursday, tho 22d
Of May, being some three weeks earlier
than the usual time of harvesting. We
are not informed (says the Eden,on Jour-
naD whether this genlleman's crop is
fair one or not, but we do know that the
whea, crop generally, in this country, at
least, has been generally injured by the
cold and dry weather; and perhaps this
NAV account for its ripening so soon.

Brutal Murder.--A Mr.. Patton,
very respectable farmer residing within
mile and half of Westminster, Pa. lately
with a part Of his family started for
church, leaving the house and infant child
in charge Of his son William. a lad Of ID
years of age, and bound girl of Is.
About half pas, ten O'Clock man named
Jabez Boyd who had lived with Mr.. Pat.
ton some years since, entered the house,
carefully locked all the doors, and with
pair of fre-tongs deliberately beat The
boys brains out and threw the body into
the fire that was burning on the kitchen
hearth.
The girl. the moment the boy was at
tackled, with admirable presence of mind.
snatched the infant from the cradle, rails.
ed the window, threw it out, followed
herself, and gave the alarm to the neigh.
bors. The neighbors soon gathered, and
after trying found all the doors fastened,
and had to break the front door in. They
found the lifeless body of the boy in the
fire, partially consumed, and The cup
board in which Mr.. p kept his money,
broken open and about $50 in gold and
silver taken.
II is supposed that Boyd had not left
the house when the neighbors arrived,
but when they rushed in at the front door
escaped by the way Of the outside cellar
door. To strengthen this supposi,on,
the neighbors say that The cellar door was
shut when they entered The house, and
tina! alter the confusion Of the moment
was over it was found open-n0 one
knows by whom. 1t is also supposed
that it was the murderer's intention
when he entered the house to kill both
the boy and the girl-take the money and
then set fire to the house. BOYD is a
young man Of bad character. lie was
imprisoned IN West Chester three years
ago on charge of larceny and broke Jail
since which time he has not been hear
Of until within few weeks.
Boyd was followed and arrested at his
fathers house. Our informant did not
state whether the money was found in his
possession or not, but the girl recognized
him as the murderer Of the boy, aud The
citizens Of the neighborhood have no
doubt as to his guilt.--Phiia. Times.

Ii would seem there has been n vast amount OF
powder usclessly expended upon this subject.
The Quincy Herald says: ave learn from gen
tleman lately from Washington, that the secreta-
~ OF the treasury does not consirue The resolution
passed by congress, authorizing him to retain any
money in the treasury which nigh, be due a state
owing TO the general government interest on
bonds held by the United States, TO have any re-
ference to the school funds due the new states un-
der their solemn compact with the general 60
vcrnmont, at the limo they entered the Union.
Such we believe to bo the opinion entertained by
majority in congress at the passage Of the reso-
luton, hence the reason why so few opposed the
passage OF it. In fact it was understood by most
of tho members to have reference alone to south
western state that was demanding the whole sum
due under the last act for the distribution Of the
proceeds of the sales of tho public lands, and
as there had been no act Of congress authorizing
the secretary of the treasury to retain the interest
as was done with regard to this and other states
in 1912, the resolution was thought necessary to
enable the secretary to act under the authority Of
congress. This, we conceive, will put an end to
Tho ado that has arisen upon this subject"

The Crops---The ScusOu.

NV ht
These subjects are on every body's lips.
Flour has taken quite run, under sort
of panic, but we are sejoiced TO say that
all hopes Of wheat are not passed. The
crop is greatly injured, and field after field
mostly ruined, yet there may be more
wheat than the most sanguine have hoped
for. We should not be disappointed. at
all events, to see those who would buy
up the bread of a city on speculation, at
such time, little bit in their mercenary
hopes.
1t is not yet too late for the corn crop
the ground is in most excellent order,
so far as weeds and cultivation are con.
cerned and if no Encouragement seizes
upon the farmer, from his frequent plan
tings. we may have good corn crop yet.
If we have to have year Of fasting. let
us meet it without repining. 1t will be
severe but just lesson, teaching us how
dependent we all are on the farmer, and
how important is the SOIL 10 all our wants.
1t will show how perfectly imbeci|e and
worthless are all humbugs of political
mouniebanks, to benefit The people, and
convince those whose eyes are slow of
opening. how hearllcss are those who
would ill their purses out of the crying
mouth of hall,(ed poverty. Let the cult.
va,ors of the soil then apply themselves
still closer TO their duty, for without their
sweat, and energy, and good judgment.
and successful labors, this world would
soon become great carnival house for
buzzards. and dry picking at that. The
farmer will be estimated as he should be.

EDITORIAL TEMPERANCE CONVENTION. The
New York Organ suggests the propriety of
holding convention of editors to promote the
cause of temperance. We hope that the sug-
gestion is not intended as a sly insinuaton that
temperance reform is much required in the edi-
toriaI corps-that they are addicted to the too
free use of ''blue runn-and yet we should
have no objection to such convention, parti-
culary of political editors, for they are gene
rally most Incorporate men in one sense-in
the application of abusive epithets to each
other and to candidates-an intemperance
which is of more serious injury to the public,
than if they were to drink their whiskey by
the quart per dav, albeit few of them could af-
ford that quantity. We believe that editors
are generally as exempt from the beastly prac-
tice of intoxcation, as any other class OF So
cietv, and there are few of them who have not
lent their time and talents to the promotion of
the cause of temperance; we do not, therefore,
think that much good would arise from hold
ing a convention to consult about the best
iiouO vi ucsliOylIl9 tuC VI "a
cohol, for they already fight manfully against
it-but if they will assemble together and give
a mutual pledge to respect themselves and to
treat others with respect, we believe that great
advantage would arise from it to all concerned.
CHRIST HEALING THE SICK. We noticed
some time since, a publication by several artists
in Cincinnati, in which the picture of Christ
Healing the Sick, was denounced as an impo-
sition-a wretchcd daub-although it is exhi-
bted as the production of the celebrated West.
The last Cincinnati Transcript contains pub
LEGATION in which the painting is extolled as be-
ing of the very finest order, and stating, that,
if it be not by West, it need not his name to
give it celebrity. The writer says-"I rather
guess that those artists who condemn, would
gain reputation by making an exact COPY from
Messrs. Morris picture-J they can" fit b,
fine painting it matters little by whom it wa
executed, excepting to the artist himself
though, if it be not by West, it is wrong to pas
it for his production.
