ECONOMICAL Saw MlLL--Thc Cincin.
na'i Chronicle says, nearly every body has
heard Of tho saw mill some where tout
West" which was driven by the .ssorco Of
circumstances" This il as desirable a mo-
tive power for mill M could be thought
of; not only economical, but having tho
very linc quality, as every body knows, Of
gaining force as the money market tight.
ems. We travelled west a few miles tho
other day. We did not find tho mill driven
by the ''furco Of circumstances" probably
because we did not 60 Cur enough, but al
no greater dist snce than Aurora, Ia, NO
found ono driven by power noasly a. eco
nomical. Mr.. Watkins, Of that place, has
steam saw mill lately put in operation,
in which the only fuel used Is the sop dust
made BY the mill itself. There arc two boil.
crs two engines, two saws, and the average
work ofthc mill is about 1900 feet pcr day.
Upon occasions this amount Of work can
be nenrly doubled. We hare heard Of mills
where the boilers were heated BY tho saw
dust and slabs, but here the slabs arc applied
TO other uses, and mono Of them used for fuel
except u worry small quantity when the
dust has become very damp, from wet
weather.

C0olneSx and Good Fortune,

On Friday lat, at the sale of largo
quantity Of plants nj auction in the Arcade,
Gen. +. n. Wnul, Of Mississippi, while IN
der the pressure off large crowd Of people,
felt the pressure particularly severe in tho
region Of his pocket book, which he soon
after discovered had hccn taken from him
by some piekp"ckct. The pocket book con-
tained large amount Of money. With
out being disconcc rtcd, ms is generally tho
casc, the General walked quietly without
an ontcry to the door to prevent cgrcas from
the room. lie then addressed the crowd,
stating his loss and his belief TINT the gen
tlcmen present would aid him in detecting
the thief. A general search was proposed,
which was readily nsscnted 10 By the
shouts ofthose present. As this operation
was about 10 begin, gentleman present
saw the waving md agitation Of large
plant, us though bird had Just aligh.cd
upon slender bough. Upon examination
the bird WINS found 10 nc the identical peck
CT book which had been lost-thc rosuc
who stole il no doubt finding il like no,
potato, hard TO hold, took this means Of re-
lievins himself Of his ill-Qotton treasure.
The General then informed the assc,nbIaqc
that tho pocket book was unriiled Of iis
contents, and thanked them Cor the ready
manner in which the, had nssenied 10 the
searching operation;" closing with the re-
mark that no crowd could be fou:.d where
a combination Of honest men would not al
all times triumph over and detect the
roguos.

CONFIDENCE AND CREDIT.

The day was dark, the markets dull,
Tho 'Change was thin, gaZe;;es w..c full
And half the town was breaking,
The countersign Of cash was ssSiop;r
Bankers and bankrupts shut up shop;
And honest hoarts were aching.
when near the 'Chnnge, my fancy spicd
A fading form, with hasty stride,
Beneath griefs bur,hen STOPPING;
Her name was Crt dit, and she said,
Her father, Trade, was lately dcnd,
Her mother, Commerce, dropping.
The smile that she WINS won, to wear
Was wiihcrcd by the hand Of care,
Her eyes had lost their lus,rc;
Her character was gone, she said,
For bascly che had been betrayed,
And nobody would ,rus, her.
That honest Industry had tried
To gain fair Credit for his bride,
And found the lady willing.
But, ah! a fortune hunter came,
And Speculation was his name,
A rake, not worth shilling.
The villain was on mischief bent,
lie gained both dad and iuain's consent,
And then poor credit smar,od.
He flched her fortune and her fame,
lie fixed blot upon her name,
And lcf. her broken-hcar.cd.
While thus poor Crcd. seemed 10 sigh,
Her cousin, Confidence, came by,
(Methinks hc must be clevcr:)
For when he whispered IN her cnr,
She checked tho sigh, she dried the tear,
And smiled ns sweet as ever.

M. Adams Madness,

The anecdotes related Of tho cold man
eloquent" would I'LL volume. One Of the
mos. touching, md cmincn,ly illustrative
OF the devotcdncss which his domestic vir-
tues called forth from those in his service,
was recently narrated 10 rs, in substance
rs follows:--
A few ycars ngo rs John Quincy Adams

II the building. lie was tnken up for

Capitol, under tho room in which Mr.. Ad-
ans brca.hcd his last, followed by many
persons, among them Mr.. Adams himself.
After some time the injured man was re-
stored TO consciousness, and apparently re-
gard'css Of his own sutlerings, turning his
eyes nnxious!y around, his first words were
SIS Mr.. Adams snfcg' Mr.. Adams re-.
piled TINT he was unhurt. Tho poor fellow
exclaimed, THEN An CONTENT and re-
lapsed into an unconscious state. The
venerable statesman was deeply moved at
this evidence Of ntleclionatc regard of bis
welfare, and tears flowed down his checks.
The wounded and suffering man was taken
to tho patriots house, hut did not survive
until morning. Mr.. Adams was engaged
to speak in some important cause before
the Supreme Court Of tho United States
on tina, day--it is believed in the Amistsd
case; but his feelings were such that hc
went to tho Court, and stating tho circum-
stances which hsd occurred, solicited, ~ .
personal favor, tho posironcmcut Of the
case tiIl tho next day, which was according.

Sheriff. LaleS. .e..s,,

Several of the papers of this State have
taken up this subject, and urge the pas
sage Of law requiring such sales to be
published in a newspaper. We think the
suggestion good one, which would
result in benefit to defendants, and to
the community at large. The present
mode of advertising Shcriffs' Sales, is
just about as good as no advertisement at
all, for the reason that not one man in ten
ever thinks Of stopping e read . written
notice, whereas, if these, s - were made
public through taas ea3ts;s* " newspa-
per, hundreds would see them, and theresult
would be, that bidders would be present
at the sales, and the property, SO sold,
would bring something near its real val
lie. There are other reasons which we
might suggest, why these notices should
be published, but we think any one may
see by moments reflection the utility OF
the measure, and we hope that the Legis-
lature will pass law to that effect.
The following are cases in point, and
need no comment:
''Some time ago we attended Sherihs
sale, where eighty acres of excellent land
were struck off at ten cents per acre. Rea-
son-only one or two persons knew of
the sale. We hope that the Representa-
tives from this district will consider the
matter, and vote for any actto remedy the
evil.-Quincy Herald.
These things are happening repeatedly;
and our Legislature should pass law to
have all Sheriils' sales and foreclosures of
mortgages puLlished.-Chicago Dem.
An instance occurred in this county,
where over 500 bushels of wheat were
sold for trifle over trenty doIlurs. 1t is
high time that our Legislature took some
action in this matter-largc amounts of
property are sacrificed for want of suffi-
cient advertising. VIII our representa-
tive attend to this matter?-Ja Jackson Coun-
ty Democrat.

FRoM sALriLLo.-A party of Ameri-
cans arrived here last evening from Saltillo.
They report that every thing was quiet
there, and that Bustamente was expected
to arrive in Monterey on the 18th Of next
month, at the head oftwo divisions of Mex
lean troops-the first commanded by Gen.
Minon, who was second in command, and
to other by Gen. Mejia. The cause Of
sending these troops to the frontier was to
put down any insurrectionary movements
there. The people talk considerable about
separation from the Central Government,
but appeared to be generally opposed to
any foreign interference. Arista was not
in Monterey when our informant left, but
was expected there in a couple ofmonths.
The party crossed the country from Saltillo
here, but neither saw nor heard Of any In
dams on the route.
