Yesterday morning, TWO members of the oppo

dat OF some riding they were in their seats in the
House this morning, and the bill was killed the
second time. Immediately several dealers in the

Discovery Of Lead Ore.
Z. ANTHONY.

One Ct our correspondents informs us that 4
discovery OF lead ore has been made in the town
OF Ottawa, Waukesha county, few days since
The circumstances under which the finding took
place are these. David Thomas, farmer Iesid
ing about one nile south of WateIvilIe, had no
tcsd peculiar kind of limestone on the side of a
hlli on his farm, and from the appearance of the
rock was induced to believe that coal might be
fouad under it. he hired another man name VIM
Owens, and commenced drilling large hole, they
had descended lille over eighteen feet. and were
about giving up their search, when the hired man
proposed they should make up the twenty feet be-
lore they quit on going about two inches far
Their they cleaned out the hole, and in the clean
ing rod .ound considerable lead among the dirt
they continued down the balance OF the twenty
tcst (ghc extent 10 which they were confined by
the length Of he drilling rods) and found that the
balance was all lead ore. They are procuring
more aPparatls to prosecute their discovery.

of to IL. There was a bill introduced into the
House in accordance with the petition of Joseph

the affidavit OF any one person that a Ichool
consisting OF twenty scholars had been taught

The Retiring President.

The NV York Commercial Advertiser, com
menting on the circumstances in which the Pres
idert elect takes charge of the helm Of the Ma
tional Administration, remarks:
But while we thus admit that something of
the improvement in public affairs may be Justly
attributed TO the course so honorably pursued bv
the President elect, TO the present Administration
belongs the honor of having brought our foreign
policy forth from the gloom that encompassed il.
and leaving 1t to their successors without a sin
gle serious difficulty or embarrassment Consid-
erlng all the circumstances Of Mr. Fillmore's Ad-
mInlsration-the difficulties that were rife when
he assumed the Government. the political hostili-
ty of Congress, and other impediments which are
well known-it must be regarded as one of the
wIsest, most successful and most brilliant the
Union has ever enjoyed. Political opponents
may deny this, but the demonstration is before
the world. Ii has the confidence of foreign
powers so far that, while maintaining untarnisb-
ed the national honor, it has arranged the most
delicate questions with proud and ancient mon
archy of continental Europe, difficult and intri
cate questions with Great Britain and is able to
leave to its successor propositions from the Eng
lish government of liberal and pacific character,
such as that government probably never before
made to any power the face of the earth Mr.
Fillmore and his Cabinet will retire from office
leaving both the domestic and foreign affairs of
the country in far better condition than when
they took office; with negotiations on foot which
had they had time 10 complete them, would have
added Impersbable renown; and they will leave
to Mr.. Pierce and his Cabinet an inheritance of
national prosperity and national honor and inhu-
ence such as perhaps no administration ever en-
tered upon
