Mrs. CAss.-The National Inteiigencer,
in alluding TO the death of this accomplished
lady, feelingly says: "liow often does brief
word of the Telegraph fill many bosoms with
pain! Last week it said to US, simply, Mrs
Cass is dead" but that short sentence gave
pain TO many kindred hearts hearts here,
where she was well remembered and loved.
OF all the estimable ladies have resided at
the seat of government with their husbands
holding public stations, not one was more
esteemed for goodness and sweetness than
the amable and gentle wife of Mr. Cass, or
the memories of whose virtues will be more
warmly and sincerely cherished by the sur
vivors of the circle in which she was best
known"

SEEn CoRN,-The farmers of Illinois are
complaining that their corn is unfit for seed
1t is said that in some parts of the State, not
one kernel in twenty will germinate if plant
ed. This defect is attributed to the dry
weather of summer and first fall month check
ing its growth, and the wet weather of the
rest of the season keeping it in the milk, or
at least the germ soft until frost came, which
destroyed its life.

SToRM--Loss OF LIFE-RUMoR, &c.-One
of the most terrific storms which it has been
our lot to record, passed over this section of
our county on Friday night last Its effects
on the river were notwithstanding fear
iul loss of life and property. 1t is rumored
here that as a couple of coal bouts attempted
to land below town, they came together with
such violence, that both were sunk, and that
the entire crew of one-amounting to eight
persons--and one Of the other, found watery
grave. Some Of the survivors are now in
town, and truly do they tell a melancholy
story. 1t is also stated that some two or
three other boats, besides those mentioned
above, were sunk within mile or two of
Wellsville. The Egyptian darkness of the
night, and the violence Of the storm, render
il next TO an impossiblity that a single in
dvidual on board the last mentioned boats
could be saved! For humaniy's sake, we
hope the above rumors are greatly exaggerat.
ed; yet the circumstances, we fear, are a.
ganst us. We have not been able to learn
any namss.-W WeiispiLle Patriot.

Mr.. SoULE AND THE SPANISH MIssroN.--In
stating the other day that Dir. Soule had de-
cared that he would not accept the Spanish
Mission unless he was clothed with full pow
ers for the purchase Of Cuba, we were not,
probably entirely correct. But It was an
error merely of expression. The term dc-
quisition, instead Of purchase, should have
been used. With this correction the state
ment is strictly accurate-our information
was from unquestionable authority. Mr..
Soule is after Cuba, and he takes the Mission
to Madrid to accomplish its annexation to this
country by hook or by crook.--About this
there is no mistake. Mr.. Soule is good at
high vaulting. Let him take care that he
don't come down on the wrong side of the
object he is practising at and bark his own
shins into the bargan.-N Y. Tribune.
