est Louis, near Alton"

The Alton papers during the prevalence of the
high waters, and the consequent overflow of the
American bottom opposite st Louis, are congrat-
ulating the latter city on the benefits it derives
from its proximity to Alton. The Levee at AL
ton is the first landing above st Louis on the Illi-
nois shore, not cut off by the flood and to this
point all travellers, mails, marketing, &C., des-
tined for st Louis, must resort. The st Louis
ferries are bringing the market wagons from Al
ton, to keep the people of the city from starva-
ton. The words above, though often quoted in
ridicule, are said TO convey truth of the highest
importance to st Louis, by placing her in con-
slant communication with ''the rest of mankind"

It IS in contemplation to commence the pnbli-
cation Of law periodical, with the above title,
in this place, about the first of August next. 1t
will be devoted to the interests of the legal pro-
fesson, and will be open to the discussion Of de-
cisons Of the Courts, and criticism on all matters
Of interest to legal men generally.
The prospectus has been sent to the lawyers
throughout the State; and as the work will not
be published for private gain, and will be limited
in its circulation to the profession, the price will
be THREE DOLLARS at the most, and as much less
as it can be afforded at. The work viii be under
the charge of committee Of three censors to be
chosen BY the subscribers. Each subscriber is
expected to contribute to its pages, but the COM
mittee Of censors will determine what shall be
published.
We give this general view Of the design Of the
work, without entering into the details set forth
in the prospectus. The object to be accomplish
ed is good one, and the plan if carried out with
spirit, will be productive of much good.
The new CopE will 60 into operation on the
first of July, and Iowa will commence new era
in her judicial history. To disseminate through
out the State the earliest information Of decisions
made under the Code, and to promote as far as
possible, uniformity in such decisions, will be a
| prominent object Of the Lnquisitor. The time for
| the commencement Of such work is most OPP
perfume, and it is hoped that the legal profession
throughout Iowa will enter heartily into the spiri;
of the undertaking and see it carried out in good
| faith to successful result.
If suitable encouragement Is received, the first
number of the work win be published on the frs,
of August next--by which time each person hold.
ing prospectus is requested to forward the same
with the names of subscribers, to this Office.

How MAN WAS soLD-AND BOUGHT
HIS OWN EsTAre.-We have heard
capital good story Of our old friend,
Samuel A. Walker, Esq, the popular
auctoneer, which is worth printing
A physician Of this city bought tract
OF Ian in one OF our beautiful villages,
upon the water side, and in the course
of short time put a handsome dwelling
and other buildings upon it. The land
was laid out into walks, and lawns and
mounds, with fruit trees, vines, shrub
berry, fountains and sta,uary- tastelully
and beautifully arranged. In short the
doctor had spared no expense 20 make
il one of the most splendid residences
in the vicinity. But it was Of no bene-
fit to him-he got tired and sick Of his
country residence and removed back to
the city. After tryi g to sell ii at PrI-
vate SAFE for long time, and not ind-
ing purchaser. he applied TO MI. Wal
ker to have it disposed of at auction
Mr.. W. saw at glance that it was just
the kind ola place to sell, and at It he
went with his best foot forward.
The papers of the city teemed with
advertisements describing its beautiful
location -" healthy neighborhood"-
10 physician in town"-"none needed"
-"excelIent schools" different
churches in sight"- 'the politics Of the
town about equally divided"-in short,
it was just the place for man who
wanted country residence. The ad-
vertiscment caught the Doctors eye
he did not recognize the place as his
own, but il was the one he wanted
He gave an agent orders TO attend the
sale and buy that place Whenever 1t
was so!d-no matter at what price
But" said the agent who had read
the description little more carefully,
doctor, this is your place that is to he
sold 2" lis it ?-well," replied the doe
tor, after musing moment, 'nevcr
mind about that; you 90 and bid 1t Off
| for can't let another man have place
that has SO many advantages-slrang
| | have never observed this be!ore."-
The agent bid in the estate, and when
| ever the Doctor feels little homc-sick,
or Inclined to sell out, his wife reads
hIm one of Mr. Walkers advertisements
This quiets him Bosion Commonwealth.

KILLED BY AN ELEPHANT.-We learn
that lad was killed by a blow from
the trunk Of one Of the elephants at
tached to Raymond & Co.'S menagerie,
in Derby, during the exhibition there
on Wednesday. AS is frequently the
case. a crowd OF boys were feeding the
animals with nuts, apples, &c, when
the deceased. who was among the num-
Der. wantonly punctured the trunk, with
some instrument, which enraged the ell
ephant.
The keepers cautioned the lad TO
keep away after this occurred, or he
might be injured; but no heed was
given to the warning, and soon after he
approached within reach Of the elc-
plants trunk, from which he received a
blow on the head which prostrated him,
and soon after caused his death. New

HoME.-The mere sentiment of home,
with It's thousands associations, has,
like a strong anchor, saved many a man
from shipwreck in the storms of life
How much the moral influence of that
sentiment may be increased by making
the home all il should be, and how much
an attachment is strengthened by every
external sign of beauty that awakens
love in the young, are so well under
stood, that they need no demonstration
here. All to which the Eeart can attach
itself in youth, aud the memory linger
iondIy over in ripper years, contributes
largely to our stock of happiness, and to
the elevation of the moral character
For this reason, the condition OF the
family home in this country, where ev-
cry man may have home, should be
raised till it shall symbolize the best
character and pursuits, and the dearest
affections and enjoyments of social life.

UPOur harbor has on several occa-
