is to be no agricultural paper published at Montpe-
pelier the Mcssrs Bishop and Tracy may stand a
chance of succeeding in their ontorpri2c 1t would
rather appear though, that Montpelier would be the
best location for such publication. Whether the
one started by the Messrs Watons is still in exist

MARRIED.

To- LION IN TIE Way" Married in the
Highway, in the norheasterly part of this town and
near the line of Goshen, on Sunday evening, the llh
inst by Doctor Charles Backus, esquire of Brandon,
Mr. Jabez Lyon to Miss Marsylya Lard, both of
Goshen.
The occasion of this novel performance was tho
fact that when the Squire had been called, and the
important ceremony was about to be commenced
the discovery was made that Magistrate residing
IN Rutland county could not legally tie Hymeuial
knot in Addison county, and as the Land of Goshen
is located in the latter county and the Lard Facto-
ry stands the line Of the two counties, the par
ties decided that the shortest cut to carry out their
plans would be to step Off few rods into the high
way and over the line thai the fair ,amse might put
away her greasy name for one more to her liking;-
also that the Lyon might exhibit the qgaessence of
carniverousnes5 by devouiing this choice selection
Of Lard! Matters being thus arranged, with the
help of the Doctor the Lyon swallowed the Lard so
completely that not particle Off was afterwards
seen!

DEATH OF MIDsH1pMAN SHUBRICK. This
gallant young gentleman was killed while
fighting at his gun on one of the shore bat
teres. The correspondent of the New Orleans
Delta gives the particulars of the event, He
was shooting at a gun in one of the bastions
in the rear of the city, and was watching the
effect of his shot upon that piece of artillery
when ball from the piece he was shooting
at, struck hm-but the last shot he fired
dismounted the piece that killed him-thus
in all probability, both artillerists lost their
lives in shooting at one another, almost SIM
ultaneously.

FEAT OF A YOUNG SoMNAMBULrsT.-
We learn thata girl of about Is years Of
age, whose parents reside near the line be-
tween Hanover and Perrysburgh, recently
during severely cold night, got up in her
sleep, and without adding to her night dress
anything more than pair of shoes, left her
home and proceeded about two and a half
miles, when in attempting to go up the steps
to a house, she slipped down, and from sen.
sation of pain thus giyen, Immediately awoke
Suddenly becoming conscious of her awk.
ward situation, and entirely ignorant of the
means by which she was brought there, she
was at once overcome with terror, and arous-
ed the family by her involuntary shrieks-
When taken in, she WAS completely chilled
or as our informant says, nearly frozen
with the cold. The girl had never before
exhibited any somnambuic traits Or symp-
toms as we learn.-Fredonja Courier.

Interesting from Mexico.

MEXICO, March, 7th lS47-
Nineteen days since, revolution broke
out here and is not yet decided. 1t was COM
mcnced by the Church, or Liberal party, to
put down Gomez Fariaz, the Vice President,
because he was DESTROYS ofappropriating the
Church property for the expenses of the
Government He is the most conscientious,
upright officer in the republic. The Revo-
luton has been continued with desperation
many are the innocent families in mourning,
and numberless the signs of despair Both
parties have suspended for day or two, with
the expectation that Santa Anna will arrive
and settle ali difficulties.
This morning am informed that deep
plot is on foot to put down Gen. Santa An
ma if it bursts out, there will be bloody
time oft, worse than the present, which is
bad enough. No intelligent, sensible mind,
could hardly conceive the blindness and be-
wdcrel state ofthcsc' unfortunate human
beings and in q land blessed of all others,
in such great abundance, everything desir-
able for life and enjoyment, the very earth
they tread upon is filled to overlooking with
the fine metals, minerals and precious stones
and a climate more delicious than can be
described-yet, this unfortunate people exist
more like wild beasts than human beings.
l have seen from my window more robber-
les, more men, women and children shot, stab
bed and mangled, than has occurred in the
United States for the last ten years,
Since / wrote you yesterday, it is rumor-
ed that there is to be one general revolution
to put down Santa Anna. In case it should
prove true, none can foresee the end-ercept
the certainty that the United States wouN be
compsHedto take the entire Republic. d. B. B.

A HORRIBLE MASSACRE. A letter of the
18th ultimo, received from an officer in Capt
Pixies company, states that tie body of a
member Of Capt Danley's now 1t. Gaines's1
company, by the name of McCallaster, from
Clark county, had been found hung a few
days previous, with lasso around his neck.
A party Of his comrades from Lieut. Gaines
and Capt. Hunters companies had been
searching for him two or three days, and,
when they found him, he was stripped Of his
clothing, and appeared to have been dead
two Or three days Near the spot where he
was found they discovered a cave, and in it
over one hundred poems, Oaborers,) who, they
were satisfied were the murderers of their
comrade. Burning with rage at the unprovok-
ed and cold bloodcd murder, the party, in a
moment of excitement, fell upon the eowardly
wretches and killed some twenty-seven or
thirty Of them, and took the residue prisoners
and carried them to camp. This act on the
part Of the volunteers was severely censured
by General Taylor, who threatened to send
those engaged in it to Camargo and employ
them in loading and unloading steamboats,.
Against this treatment of them Colonel Yell
had demonstrated without effect. But it is
hardly probable that the threat was carried
into execution, as it is likely that their SER
vices were required in the defence against
the attacks of Mexicans, which must have
followed few days afterwards Rock

A CURIOSITY Mr. Erastus Chase, of this
town while cutting up a large pine tree which
had blown down, struck his axe upon the
blade of a knife mbedded in the tree and
broke it. On taking it out, it was found to
be, to appearance, an old Indian scalping
knife, which had been stuck horizontally into
the tree when sapling and the wood had
grown entirely over it. The blade is about
Fix inches long,with a buck-horn handle. On
the blade and handle are one Auadred and
forty distinct gs,-showing the number of
years of the trees growth, since the knife was
left thcro,-one hundred and forty years ago,
and twcnty-seven years before a white man
settled in this valley. The first settlement of
the town was in 1884, but the settlers were
driven off, and no permanent settlement was
made until 1853. The Ashuelot Valley was
a favorite resort and home of the Indians, and
it was with great difficulty and hard fighting
that they were at last driven from it. Many
interesting relics of the aborignes have been
turned up from the soil, before this discovery.

A FR1GHrFUL SUICIDE. A journal Of
Ha,Ac Loire (France) relates the following
revolving suicide: An inhabitant of Dunieres
firmly resolved on selfdestruction, accom-
plished his project with frightful determin-
alton. After setting in motion a saw moved
by water power, he presented his arms to its
murderous teeth and allowed them to be saw
ed off. This cruel operation finished, he ex-
posed his head to the same and deep slash
ing of the skull was the result.
Meanwhile, the proprietors of the works,
surprised at beholding the gate raised, know
ing, as they did that there was no work ready
stopped the water and entered the building.
There, most revolving spectacle was met
the wretched fool was motionless under the
slow action of the saw, dripping in his blood
and his flesh still quivering. Life had not
forsaken him. The cause of this energetic
and savage act of despair is not known.

ANARCHY AT THE CApITAL-PEACE RU-

just arrived. have seen a private letter
saying that Santa Anna was near Mexico with
the remnant Of, his army, some 6000 men,and
that battle was anticipated between the
contending partes-the peace and war
parties in the city-and fears were entertain
ed that much blood would be spilled. All
business was at a stand, and the city was in
dreadful state Of confusion"
The N. Orleans Commercial Times ofthe
9TH has this important paragraph: eve
have been permitted to perusc several pri-
vste letters of very late date from the city
of Mexico, written by persons of the highest
responsibility, and whose sources OF informa-
ton are ample. They state as a matter of
positive certainty that negotiations Of peace
between the United States and Mexico are
under advsement, and that the return Of
Santa Anna, who was soon expected, would
be the signal for the commencement Of over
