The MAGNETIC TELEGRAPH.-M'ssrs della
NO aud kIERsTED, agents for OReilley's line
OF Telegraph, are now in town, soliciting sub
srrptions for stock for the extension of the line
through from Dayton, via Lafayette, Logans-
port, Chicago, TO 81. Louis--a branch line to
in,ersect from Evansville. to Toledo.
This line is already completed from st. Lou
is to Chicago, from Dayton TO Craw louisville,
and from Evansville TO Vincennes. In order
to- secure connection with these important
points, and the Atlantic and Southern cities
with which they will soon hold telegra phic
communication, the citizens of Lafayette are
required to subscribe $4,000. The investment
is profitable one, and on the variors lines in
operation, has yielded Dividends of from IL to
rs per cent.
To the people OF Lafayette. the question is
not whether the stock will be profitable, as
whether, having important commercial deal
ings with the distant parts of the country, the
advantages of which depend materially upon
rapid and correct information. they can posi-
bly, do without it. The need-we might al
most say, the indispensable necessity for the
Telegraph is felt daily. Business men, in this
age Of invention, speculation, and enterprise,
cannot wait the snail-like movements of mail
coach. Indeed, were they to do so, their neigh
bors, who possess the advantages over them in
this respect would reap all the benefits Of the
fluctuations in prices, befor they were sensible
of the changes that had occurred.
The poles on this line are already erected to
Michigan City. In two or three weeks the
wires could be put up, and communication Sc.
cured via Dayton with the great East. Will
our citizens las they should not for moment
hesitate 10 do) at once take the amount ofstocl
required? They may as well do il now as again
for Telegraph they must have; and the tie RIM
are perhaps more advantageous now, than the.
will be hereafter.
The Telegraphic lawsuit pending in Ken
lucky, has nothing to do with Mr.. O'Reilly'
line north of the Ohio river, as we are wei
assured. Ii is merely testing the question
whether the new instruments of MessIs. Zool
and Barnes is an infringement of Morses pat
ent, and relates only to the line from Louisville
TO New Orleans. This line is protected BY tn
contract of O'Reilly with the patentees, which
when sought to be rescinded-for the attemp
has already been made to that eflect-wa
sustained by the concurrent opinions of Judg
Kane, of the U. S. Court. and committees o
eminent lawyers in Cincinnati, Louisville anG

Medica aud Pharmacy in the University OF

practitioners would seem TO have placed the
efficacy of the SarSaparilla beyond a reasona.
bic doubt. Its most extensive and useful ap.
plication is TO The treatment Of secondary dis
eases, and shattered state of the system which
sometimes follows the imprufent use of mercu
ry. There can be no doubt but it is one of the
best Medicines now in use, particularly when
il is mixed with the Extract of Tomatoes.
II is often said that all medicine put up in
this form is rec commended to cure all com
plants which flesh is heir to but it's not so
with this but | can recommend with the
utmost confidence, and the experience Of three

patch containing intelligence few hours later
from Paris -
PARIS, Friday, J,tne 80 O-The city still con-
tinucs in state of seige. The streets are
strictly guarded at night, and the few groups
assembled are dispersed by the military but
there has not been the slightest attempt at dis
turbance whatever in the worst quarters Of the
city. The number of arrests increases every
day. IN one prison there are 1900 without
straw to lie upon, and it is said typhus fever
is breaking out among them.
NJ. Lalanne director of the national work.
shops, was arrested yesterday. M. Emile dc
Girardin is in secret confinement. The Mon
iteur contradcts the arrest Of Lalanne. The
weekly returns of the Bank of France have
not appeared this morning. None of the
theatres are open. Many of them are turned
into temporary hospitals. Raspai, the editor
Of Sobrler's paper, the commune de Paris, has
been arrested. 1t appears that the report of
the Count de Narbonne being shot was a mis-
take; the person shot was named Lecompte,
from Narbonne.
The new Ministry gives satisfaction, and
much is expected from M. Goudchaux, who
has declared his opposition to the financial
plans Of his predecessors.

the Kings Hills Islands, Capt. Spencer went
on shore 10 purchase the chains and anchors Of
the ship Columbia, wrecked there some 10
months since, which were offered HIN by
Spaniard from one Of the Islands.
The weather being rough, Capt Spencer
resolved to stay on shore all night. The mex,
morning the Spanard came on board and told
the mate that Capt Spencer wanted some casks
to bring off some chains. The weather contin-
ued rough and they could not land them. The
