The use Of Lime.

The free use CT lime as disinrecting
agent, appears to be universally admitted
to be one of the best preventives against
cholera. The common council of Burlinr-
ton have providee supply for that city,
and we hope our lefty fathers" who have
thus far proceeded with commendable
promptness in the discharge of their off,
cial duties, will expend small appropoi-
alton for the same object. The following
extract is in relation TO the good effect
produced by similar means in St. Louis:
LIME! LIME!-A letter from St Louis
dated on Saturday last says:
'ENhort your fellow citizens to Lime
their city in lime, and not wait till the
scourge is upon them. 1t has certainly
checked the disease in this city at its first
furious onset. The city is not all LINED
yet, but where it is so the benefit is not
only prcceptible, but very great, rendering
the air sweet, and the infected neighbor-
hoods comparatively healthy. The minis
tiers of st. Louis are very active. Bishop
Hawks has not scarcely had his clothes
off for two weeks, and has scarcely slept
within that time

that the instrument has caused more dread

approached grand piano than they have
been suddenly seized with 4 sore throat

Further Particulars of the Sat-.
Louis Fire:

The point at which the fire first .tart.a
on shore was at the corner of Locust stree,
and Levee. 8
The corner house and three build;uo.
aboveitfronting the Levee were destr oyeS
The flames then crossed Locust stree,
and swept every house, with one exc.n
ton, on the blocks fronting the Leyee and
Main street, and extending from Icons,
street southwark to Chestnut, a distance
Of three squares. At Chestnut it crossed
to the next block south, at the junction NJ
Commercial Alley with this street. and
from the Alley TO Main down to Market
street, burning all except two building,
at the corner Of Market street and Com.

ket and Main, the flames crossed d;apo.
nally to Market Street House and followed
both sides of Market up to Second.

Of the block north of Olive. Here i,

Before the progress Of the flames could
be arrested, it was found necessary 70
blow up one or two houses near the corner
OF Market and Second, and in doing so, at
leastthree persons were killed. The frag.
ments Of one of their bodies were found
in the opposite side Of the street, one near
Walnut on Second, and the thigh bone and
a foot belonging to another near the foot Of
Walnut, some two or three squares from
where the houses were bownup. These
with the boy burnt on the Levee, make
four that are now at the Police Office.

More Heads on

We understand that information has
been received of the removal of the high
~ popular, able and efficient land officers
in this city, and Of the appointment in
their place of Gen. Eastin Morris, editor
Of the Republican, as Receiver. and Doc
tor Jesse Bowen. wing elector, as Regis
ter. During the period Of time which
Doctor Lowe and Col. Neatly have dis
charged the duties Of these offices, we
have never heard the first word of COM
plant as to the manner in which they
have performed their duties. But that is
neither here nor there. They were dem
ocrats, and must give place to Gen. Tay.
lor's partizan friends, as hundreds have
done before them throughout the country
during the two past months. 81
As to the gentlemen who have been
appointed to fill these offices, we have
nothing to say against their capacity or
their honesty. But in relation to one Of
the selections, (that of Doct. Bowen) be
lis loud-mouthed, brawling politician,
and has been an aspirant for Office at the
hands of the people in this State for a long
succession Of years, without once meeting
with success. He may make good Off
Ger, however, as far as the bare discharge
OF his duties is concerned; but he is en-
'tirely too overbearing and dictatorial for
us to suppose that he will give anything
like the universal satisfaction that his sue
cessor has always given.
The Office, in his hands, will be used
almost exclusively as an elec,ioneerine
machine. Although he is oriously UNI
popular, even with his own party, still
wings who have business with his office
may get along with him. Democrats
however, must make up their minds TO the
excessive annoyance Of his natural dispo-
sition to ob,rude politics into every thing,
in connection with his overbearing dispo-
sition. While we are disposed to give
the Taylor administration the full length
of rope asked for, his is one of those ex-
tremely obnoxious appointments which
calls for check from democratic Senate.
As TO Gen. Morris, although athoroush
and radical whig, we think we may safe
" say, that if tie democratic incumbent
must be removed, no appointment which
could have been made from the wing ranks
would have given such universal satisfac-
ton as his will give. And in this ex-
preston Of our own personal satisfaction
lat our cotemporary's good fortune, we
merely echo the sentiments Of almost eve
ny man, democrat as we'll as wing, in
town. He will also make all efficient. as
well as an oblging and gentlemanly Off
Ger. His appointment is understood to
have been procured through other innu-
enccs than that of the notorious dictator.
Fitz Warren, in contrast with whose
character, that of Gen. Morris is in d.
rect opposition.

DIDNr He FEEL CuEAp?-Some of the
workmen about the Capital, finding an
empty pocket-bcok. among the rubbish,
stuffed it with divers old papers, musty
tobacco guilds, etc, and, tying it carefully
up left the tempting bait near the door,
a stranger who had not yet seen the ele-
plant, happening to DROP soon after, took
himself in, in the following manner
Walking somewhat briskly towards the
door, he made a sudden stoop, or rather
squat, and without stopping his Roadway,
thrust the prize safely and quickly into
his breeches pocket. Passing around to
the end of the building and looking care
fully abont, he apparently thought himself
not quite secure enough from observation
there TO examine into the extent of his
good luck; so going down into the river
bottom, he went around to the rear Of an
old building for that purpose. From
thence he was soon observed going away
with his chin resting upon his breast, and
his hands performing e,olutions somewhat
similar to those Of man who had been
using his fingers for a candles nutfer.-
Wonder if he went always experience an
unpleasant sensation in the ends of his fin
gers in future, at the bare sight Of quld
