TREES.

Rows OF Trees along our side walks, would
greatly ornament our Town. Now is the
time to set them out. There is but one per-
son it this town who has ever had sufficient
public spirit TO set out tree between the: side
walk and the carriage way. The credit of;
that act belongs to Mrs. VIM. Bennett, ~ no
above four years since set out the locust srees
now standing in front of the store occ!pied
by ID. A. Fairchild & Co-trees that now are
an ornament to the street. We hope 1.any
will follow her example this spring
Even in their enclosures, very few q our
citizens have ever set out any ornamental fees.
Mr.. Strong and ID. w. Jones, are alnost
the only ones who have done any thing in
this matter. Col. Jones' trees are g owing
finely Ell. n and will soon be very great
We ought not to omit to mention tbs fine
trees in the yard of the Rev. Mr.. VIII bins,
which were set out by Dr.. Wilcox.
The several Churches should certainly hive
a few trees planted about them. A few trees
would not hurt the appearance of the odd g.
lows Lodge, and if we should plant scsne
about the Schoolhouses, our children misht
bless us for the gracious deed.
Did it ever occur 20 our tavern keepers Il az
fine tree in front of hotel is one of the best
of signs!
The Elm, white and red the Sugar Maple
the Black walnut, and the various kinds Of
oak are all fine trees, and can all be had with

The California question assumes daily new
FORMS While the question--how to get there1
is yet under trial, by thousands of adventure
ers, and the question--how to govern the
wild throngs who are now there lis battling
the wisdom of Congress the question how
to get the gold home is revealing the actu-
al poverty of many of the fortunate hunters.
Commodore Jones, writing from San Fran
cisco, expresses the utmost apprehensions,
that ships conveying gold from California,
will be exposed to the greatest danger of Tnu-
tiny on board; and events may also show the
route of our homeward ships beset with pi-
ratical rovers. The Commodore says it will
take all the ships of the navy to protect the
merchantmen freighted with gold. 1t is said
however, that the price of insurance has not
materially risen, though it may be that under
writer's were not yet in possession of the
Commodore's facts.

CIRCULAR TO REGISTER AND RE-

Treasury Department,

Treasury Department.,
February "a, Is49.
A question of much importance has arisen
in relation to Mexican War Bounty Land
Warrants, that may be located by bona tfde pur-
chasers.
FirSt.-Where Warrant is forged.
Second.-Where the assignment or trans
fer is forged.
Third Where the power of Attorney is
forged.
Several cases of this description having
been presented to the consideration of the
Commissioners of the General Land Office,
he informs me that in his Judgment they are
null and void, and that the land covered by
such locations remains the property of the U.
States, in which view this Department fully
concurs. In order therefore to induce greater
caution upon the part of purchasers, you will
please to show this circular TO all persons
proposing to make locations with Mexican
War Bounty land Warrants, and cause a
copy of these instructions to be posted in the
most public position in your Office. As these
forgeries are believed to be augmenting in
number, this notice is deemed necessary for
the protection of the government and the peo-
pie. r. ]. WALKER,

A BLOODY RFcoNTRE.-A tragicaI affair
occurred at St Geaevieve Mo-, on the Goth
1t appears Doctor of St. Geneyieve and a
Mr.. Scott, between whom difficulty of .oag
standing existed, met in bar room, when
the Doctor drew revolver and bowie knife
and told Scott to take his choice and defend
himself. Scott who did not understand the
request, returned some common place answer
when the Doctor again repeated it, with an
insult. when Scott thrust his hand into his
coat pocket and also drew a revolver seeing
which the Doctor fired, without effect. The
shot was returned, the ball taking effect in the
Doctors neck wi o then fell upon his knees
behind a table in the room, and discharged
the remaining five barrels Of his pistol ut his
antagoi lst, wounding him but slightly in the
hand. In the mean time, Scott fired four
ttmes-ihe second shot taking effect in the
doctors shOuiders-the fourth driving the ball
rectly through his heart-the fifth being
wasted after the Doctor fell to the floor
There were eleven shots fired by the parties
and although the room was crowded at The
time, strange 10 say, none of the bystanders
were hurt. Chicago Journal.

''Seldom have we witnessed before such
destruction of property caused by the breaking

A subscriber writes from St. Louis, under
date, of March 10th, that he has received but
one copy of the Tribune since the 1st of jan,
and wishes to know the reason. We are I'M
able to give any reason, unless it be on ac-
count of bad roads and neglect of the Post
Masters or Mail carriers. The paper is regu-
larry mailed at this Office, and we have every
reason to believe, regularly forwarded. =
We have received but one or two papers from
St. Louis during the past month, and our Ia
test dates from New York are up to Feb IL.
Probably the mail contractors find it profitable
to take passengers at an exorbitant price, and
leave the mails behind until the roads are
good, OF they have nothing else to carry.

We understand that President Polk has
appointed Col. John w. Greary, of West
moreland county, to an important post in
California. Mr.. Polk seems determined to
bestow rewards on the enemies of Gen Tay-

Now, that their measures have been con-
denned by unprecedented majority, and
the cry being for change Of men and meas
ures'' throughout the land, we think this ex-

CLEAN THE SIP EETS

There is an ordinance of this town prohib-
ting all persons from throwing any thing into
the streets.
During the winter this ordinance has been
entirely neglected. Now that the filth has
tiawed out it is time that it should be remov-
ed. Even High Street is disgracefuily dirty.
We hope the trustees of tfls town will see to
mis- matter, and have the ordinance enforced.
If a few persons were well fined, it might fix
the memory of the Law in their minds.
We would remind the Board of Trustees
that there are several careasses lying near the
road in the upper part of town, which we
hope may be removed without delay.

II Fact tc0rM hROU5ng.-It may no. be
generally known that the unparalleled success
OF the Cllckener Sugar Coated Vege table
PurgatIve Pills, is owing in great degree
to the method of compromising it. Other rem
e1leS operate upon the system generally, and
without any reference TO the particular COM
plant they are intended to cure. Hence If
the difficulty happens to be seated in the stom-
ach or bowels. so as TO come mechan ically
IN actual collision with the medicine. the ma
1ent may perchance experience a temporary
relief. But the Clickener Pill has search
ing power; and one or more of its ingredients
must enter into the blood, and go directly to
The seat of disease. For this extraordinar
property, 1t is indebted, as we before intima-
ted. to that peculiar chemical process, which
enables the inventor to extract the essential
virtue OF each particular article that enters
into Its composition, and reject those which
are ValuelesS or Injurious, for it is an undoubt-
ed fact, though known only to few, that eve
~ vegetable production is more or less infect
ed by extraneous substances which contravene
Its medicinal effects. The slightest error in
the particular might serve to prolong our mis-
cry, and shorten the duration of our existence.
Then do not hesitate to chose the lickener
Sugar Coated Vegetable Pill, because YOU
are certain of a remedy which will not inure
you, if it does not cure.
