The case of Abram Van Auken, who died in this
town on the LIST instant, aged sixty years, was one
OF the most remarkable on record. Mr.. Van Auken
was seized with appoplexy some time last Feb
ruary, which left him in partially parayzed con.
dition, and mostly deprived him of the power OF
speech, retaining simply enough to utter yes y
and "no." Between two and three months since
he refused all kinds OF food for the space of eight
days, when he was prevailed upon to take trihe
two or three times and then utterly refused nour-
ishment up to the day of his death, which occurred
Sjcty dayS after he took the last particle of food
In vain were efforts made TO induce him to take il
in any form or disguise; he would suffer nothing
to pass his lips but pure water and upon this alone
did life nger for sixty days, and with the trilng
exception above mentioned, for sixty-eight days.

wharf at Belfast, which was found and returned tn

Last Friday this J0rtuaatc Mr. johnson was
arrested by an officer from New York on a reauisi
ton from the Governor oil California for the robBer7,
and murder Of man in California, some time las

affair is, that Two i3l7ocsat persons were accseJ

johnson was in the States. Some recent develon.
meuts, however came out connecting him with the
murder, which left doubt as to his quilt. and

Congress.

| In the SENATE, on the 9Th inst. Messrs Yuee,
Gwin and Borland appeared and took their seats.
A MESSAGE was received from the President of the
United States, covering note from Senior Rosa, the
| Mexican Minister, asking that Congress will exc
cute the llth article of the treaty of Hidalgo re-
| atlng to Indian depredations on the Mexican
| frontier
A bill to distribute 500 copies of the decisions of

| Territories was rejected-yeas 10, nays "a,
| Mr. Butler gave notice OF bill 10 indemnify the
| State of South Carolina for advances made and
losses sustained on account of the General Govern
ment during the Seminole war.
| Mi Benton introduced bill to make good to the
State OF Missouri the two per cent funds reserved
| on the sales Of the public lands in that State.
In the HOUSE, the names Of the members of the
| standing committees were read. The House then
resolved itself into Committee of the Whole TO take
into consideration the Presidents me- sage
resolution was read referring the various sub
j7cts contemplated in the message to the appropri-
ate standing committees. Some discussion took
place as to whether the claims against the Govern
ment should be referred to the Committee of Ways
and Means or the Judiciary Committee, and it was
ultimately agreed TO strike that portion of the
resolution, with the understanding that the cues
ton should he hereafter determined.
That portion of the resolution which alluded to
the domestic policy of the Government called I'D
Mr. Giddngs. of Ohio in opposition to the position
therein laid down by the President Mr.. Giddings
made speech in his usual lanatical manner and
denied that the General Government could compel
the people of the free States 10 enforce a law to
which they We're opposed on principle.
Mr. McClernand said thata a member from a
Tree Stale, he denounced the sentiments expressed
by the member from Ohio, He considered it a
fraud to profess to maintain The constitution and al
the same time to oppose the operation Of law
which was based on its provisions.
no iurther remarks were made, there being an
evident dissemination to discuss The question, and
the committee proceeded to the consideration of the
other portions of the resolutions and to refer the
different subjects which the Presidents message
embraced to different committees.
The House then resumed, and the report of the
committee was agreed 10, the previous question
preventing any debate.

THANKseIvrNG.-By solemn proclamation, to-
day has been set apart as day of Thanksgiving.
A day two since, ventured TO say that there
was no necessity for the establishment of such
HOLIDAY 1t has given offence to some of our
friends. We now propose to give reasons for
that opinion. The Puritans, in their hatred of
every thing which smacked of Epsoopacy, refused
to commemorate Christmas. But in its place, they
legislated what may be called the Puritan Christ
mas, Thanksgiving day. That holyday has been
kept up in all of the New England and Western
States, while Christmas there, though kept by
some denominations of Christians, is not generally
treated as festival. Now we no good reason
for keeping here Thanksgiving December 10Th,
and the following week entering on the Christmas
holydays, which last fortnight Judge Buchanan
yesterday announced that he should keep his court
open for the transaction of business. He thought
quite time enough was devoted to thanksgiving in
the two weeks of holydays which are so near.
Let us give up Christmas or Thanksgiving. TOD
many holydays beget idleness We think their
great number in Catholic countries is serious
injury. We are too industrious a people tc
throw away time. Let us observe the Sabbath
Fourth of July, the Eighth of January, the Twenty

that State. IL useless bravado, that tate is
out of the line of travel for fugitive slaves and
years may pass before the Supreme Court of the
United States can act on the question. We deplore
the madness of Vermont as much as we do that of
Carolina.
