The Hon. William u. Sheldon, OF James
vile, in this Territory, died in Buffalo last
week. His remains are TO be removed to
GAINESVILLE for interinent
The Galena Advertiser of the 9th inst
says:-" A fight, which ended in stabbing,
and which may result in death, took place at
the White Bear tavern, in this city, last
Saturday night. The names of the parties
were Howard and Dirst. In the first fight,
Dirst got the worst of it, But Howard con-
tinuing to crowd upon him, the other drew
a knife and inflicted several severe wounds,
some of which are supposed to be dangerous
to life. Dirst fled, and has not been appre-
hended.
And that last week, Mr.. Moses White
sides, Of Belmont, w. T., was thrown from
his horse, and so sadly injured that his re-
covery was considered doubtful"
A riot lately occurred in Fanueil Hall,
Boston, in consequence of John b. Coughs
attempting to address temperance meeting.
The lights were put out, Cough was struck
with chair, a constable was noored, blows
became general, and it ended in general
row; after which, order was restored and
the meeting proceeded with their business.
The New Hampshire Wing State Con-
vention has nominated Hon. Nathaniel S.
Berry for Governor, and Mr.. Webster for
President.
We learn that John ID. May, just senten-
ced to the Mo. penitentiary five years, for
setting fire to the steamboat St. Croix, in St.
Louis, is pardoned by the Governor.
The Galena Advertiser, says:-" We are
assured the steam horse will stretch his iron
sinews over the prairie by the middle of next
September, if but a small sum more shall be
subscribed. The iron is already contracted
for, conditioned upon subscription Of
$500, 900, to build the road to Fox river. 1t
is contemplated to finish this section within
the year. With an abiding faith in the en-
ergy aud perseverance, of western men, zoe
believe IL DW be done.
1t is said that Secretary Walker win ask
for tax upon tea and coffee, at the opening
Of Congress, and upon iron.
1t is said that the sum of $4,000 has been
subscribed to the Buffalo aud Mississippi
Railroad in the last two weeks, by the citi-
zens of Laporte and vicinity.
An Indiana editor says:-Kendall has
come out West with the intention of taking
out an injunction upon the rival telegraph
lines set up by O'Reilly s. Co. This thing
of taxing out an injunction upon a streak Of
lightning, is new feature in the applica-
ton of law.
Rumors are rife in New York, that the
Bank of England will not be able 10 meet
its obligations to pay the interest on the
Government debt.

Gentlemen ~ wrote To Won Yesterday,
giving YOU all the intelligence that had come

form You thar have been assured by several
individuals that they had seen and spoken TO
an uid-de-camp of Santa Anna in this city,
where he arrived two or three days ago.

any thing thereon as positive, it is confident
" stated that Santa Anna is now, az this very
moment, in the vicinity of the coast, intend-
ing To embark on the English steamer Med
way, which starts tomorrow morning for
Havana. IL cannot be said with certainty
that he viii embark on this steamer, yet II i

him thoroughly, that he viii seize the first
opportunity which presents itself to eNtricate

The next is said to be letter from highly
respectable Spanish gentleman, dated the 2d
0ctober:-
Generals Santa Anna aud Rea are en-
deavoring to prevent the entrance Of Gen.
Lane into Puehla; the latter has $500 men
under his command, the former 5000. Iii

obtaining any s,h antage from this, his last
enterprise, he viii retire To Oaiacas to rest
himself and augment his force in that State
of the Mexican Union which is, rs you know.
in the immediate direction, or vicinity of
Guatemala.
This impression derives force from the
fact that Santa Annals lady i. at this mo-
ment, in that neighborhood, at small town
called Tcpeaca. The conviction here is
that Santa Anna viii be equally unfortunate

Excuses.

When we have nothing original to present
TO our readers, we will leave it for them to
find it out, instead of spinning out half a
column Of excuses about it. One attributes
the borrenness Of his brains to press of job
work, another TO sickness, another, TO un-
avoidable hindrances, another, to " circum-
stances over which he had no control" an
other, to the increase of little responsible
tiles" All these excuses in no manner
concern the reader, who seeks only for an
interesting newspaper. The witty editor of
i" The Prairie Farmer" in his November
number, lectures this class of editorial nin-
nyhammcrs, in the following manner:--
apologies are always most tolerable,
and not TO be endured, as old Dogberry says;
but they arc the most unbearable of all things
in newspaper. For an editor TO be ever
lastingly boring The public, with what he
meant to do and ddn't--and what he means
TO do aud don't, is enough to secure vote
of earrion to him, and burial forthwith
Why, my dear friend Wiudandink, why
don't you do the things you are talking
about! II would cost less sweat by far.
Hut there is one apology which the new
nedged editor often makes, laughable even
to horses, feeding alone. There is one now
lying before us. The editor has just got "ut
/ his first number--a medium sheet, pretty
| blue, and bad TO be read by weak eyes-pub-

with population of 500 souls, besides fwo

meant, il seems, TO have appeared last
week. but through unavoidable delays,
has not come along till this. All Of which
he relates to us through goodiy half col
umn. Why, my good editor, we didn't
know You were coming at all never heard
Of it positively till we saw you here. We
are not sorry YOU have come; but never felt
a moments pain ut the delay in the periee-
ton of your embryo. The world would
have gone ON the same il you hadn't come
I'LL next week, or week after next--and IN
fact il is doubted il the world had missed
you, had you never come at ALL"

Is settied-you have recovered your health.
Jayne's Carminative Balsam, for bowel and

medicine that will cure. Thousands of persons,
have given their testimony in its favor. No fam
lily should ever be without it. tt-s
Uhg tcear a wigf-A majority of the wigs
worn are wholly unnecessary. The use of
jayne's Hair Tonic will always prevent the hair
from falling off, and its continued use will IN most
cases re-clofhe the head with beautiful crop of
new hair.
Ferer and .dgue-zCufe warranted-Jayne's
Ague Pills are warranted TO cure the worst forms
of Fever and Agne. The money will be refund
ed in all cases If they fail to cure-but they never
do fail.
A strong evidence that DIR. Jayne's Expector-
ant is superior to all other remedies for Coughs,
Consumption, Bronchitis, Asthma. and other Pal-
monary affections, is, that the same persons who
commenced the of it in their families ten years
ago, still prefer it TO all other remedies of the
kind; and where ans have been induced to try
other preparations, they have almost invariably
been disappointed in receiving the benefit which
was reasonably anticipated from the high pri ises
bestowed by the proprietors; and have returned to
the use of Jayne's Expecforant. as a nedy that
never has failed to reiiete them, and which prob
ably never had its equal in arresting pulmonary
diseases.
