BURLINGTON HAWK-EYE.

PROCLAMATION FOR THANKSGIVING.
THE people of this State acknowledge
the existence of Supreme Being, the
creator and governor Of the Universe, and
the creator, preserver and benefactor 0!
Mankind. They also believe that all bles-
sings flow from Him; that every enjoy
ment they possess is the gift Of His hands;
and that when it pleaseth HIM, He can
IN moment strip them Of those blessings,
and take from them even that life which he
has bestowed. 1t would seem that peo-
pie cherishing such opinions, would desire
that day should be appointed in which
they could assemble and with fervent and
overAowing hearts publicly acknowledge
the many blessings which they have re-
ceivel !; and with an humble and confding
spirit, beseech that great Being to contin-
Tie 10 be our guardian and benelactor. En-
retaining the belief that a day set apart
for such purposes would meet with APP
probation, and being DESTROYS Of following
custom which has been adopted by many
of our sister States, and which has sunk
deep into the affections Of the people Of
those States
Therefore I, ANsEL Bn1ecs, Governor of
the State Of Iowa, do hereby appoint
THURSDAYtTHE TWENTY NINTH
DAY OF NOVEMBER NEXT. TO be
observed in this State as day Of Thanks
giving and Praise to ALMIGHTY GOD
for the many and great blessings which
He has bestowed upon rs; and do
respectfully request that the good people
OF this State assemble on that day al their
respective places Of Worship, and offer up
to God that which is humbly conceived to
DC the most acceptable to Him, the incense
Of hearts filled with the deepest feelings
OF gratitude and love.
In testimony whereof have hereunto
set my hand and caused the Great Seal of
the State to be hereunto affixed at Iowa
City this 29th day of October, lS49.
BY the Governor: ANSEL BRIGGS.
JOSIAH II. BossY, Secretary of State.

New Discovery in .Agriculure.-An
extraordinary fact was mentioned the
o,her day at the sitting of the Academy
OF Science. One Of the members stated
that the agricultural society of Brest had
upon the proposition of member If tha
committee, sown some wheat upon land
without any preparation Of ploughine or
digging, aud in one Of the worst Soils no..
slo'e' and after having merely walk ed
over the ground to press the grain on the
surface, had it covered with fresh straw,
TO the thickness Of two inches. The pro.
duet was, it is asserted, more abundant
ana much superior IN quality to wheat,
raised from the same seed in the ordinary
way, Some ears of corn, the seed Of
which had been placed upon window
glass covered with straw, were also ex.
hibited.

T. X. BARsuM, the young gentleman shot by the
Montesquious in st Louis. died on Tuesday Of last
week. Previous to his death his deposition was
given in relation to the mysterious affair. This,
with other evidence in the case, led the examining
Judge to refuse the murderers bail, and they are
now in the st Louis Jail, awaiting their trial. which
will take place next January. The father Of young
Barnum has commenced suit against the Montes-
qulous' for the recovery Of $4,000, to compensate
for his sons time during his minority, of which he
has been deprived BY his death.
This murder-of Jones and Barnum-has caused
great excitement in st Louis. The only way to
prevent summary vengeance by the populace, was
to remove the prisoners secretly from the jail, and
confine them at Jefferson Barracks. Through the
fundamentally Of the press Of st Louis, and the
assurances that justice should be done in the case
may be attributed the allaying Of the popular indig
nation against these men.

The Barrett House.

We learn that this popular Hotel has changed
hands, and that the new proprietors will commence
operations the first of next month. Mr. FLETCHER
has had charge OF it since it was first opened, and
we believe he has given very general satisfaction.
Under his administration the House has obtained
good reputation. While we tender this tribute
voluntarily to Mr., may at the same time speak
pretty confidently of his successors, Messrs CRuM-
MEV and CLARK. During whole winters stay at
Iowa City, we sojourned at the Crummey House,
and il there was any other inducement for us to
stay in such place for such length of time, be-
sides the effort to obtain good job Of printing, it
was in being partaker in the good fare at the
Crummey House. All our fear is that the citizens
viii find difficulty in supplying their private
tables with good things finder the administration of
Father Crunmey and his family, than they hare be-
fore experienced. The only way to avoid this is to-
advise our farmers to raise and bring to market an
extra amount of Turkeys and other s.fxins. to
match. Capitally cooked and well dressed Turkeys
will be standing dish in the bill of fare of the Bar
ret House after the LIST proximo.
