Another Warning!

George LPpard, the gifted author, it has
beea announced throughout our Union, j.
dead. He died Of consumption. Alas, how
many sink annually into the grave from the
ravagcs Of that fell disease. Look over the
bills Of mortality and you will find onc-hal
the deaths, at Il ast, attributed to consump
ton. Yet few comparatively die of what
properly may bo termed consumption
p9iaisis pumoaa'is, but every variety OF dis
ease which it becomes policy to disguise, is
included under the generic term consump-
ton.
George Lippard is another victim added
to the catalogue which intemperanc: claims
He made money rapidly ard squandercd i
roolishly. In "enjoying the world he ru-
ned his constitution and brought himself to
an early grave. His talents given him tol
i noble purpose, were prosttntcd to his ap-
petitcs and he died, leaving another exam
pie 10 our young men to beware OF the rock
upon which he was wrecked

Clearing ont the Rapids.

We understand that the Government has
given Il contract to Swan, Fenlon g. Co.,
to remove the rocks from the Lower and
Upper Rapidsin the Mississippi. This is
one of the largest contracts ever given out
BY the government, and if the contractors
succeed it will be of vast importance to
large portion of the citizens Of Iowa, llli-
no;s and Missouri.
The contractors are men of energy and
great experience in their business, and we
have no doubt that they will push forward
the work to speedy completion.
We clip the above from the Pittsburgh
Post Of the 18th. The information will be
gladly received by the people generally
throughout the State. We are informed by
Pittsburgh gentlemen now residents of
this city, that Mcssrs. Swan, Fenlon g. Co..
are experienced contractors on public
works Of all kinds, as wellas men OF exten-
sive capital. Should there be no doubt as
to the above arrangement, the fondcst wish
es of the public will soon be realized, and
Il revolution in the affairs of towns and
cities all along the river will be the instan-
result Bari. Telegraph.

Famine in Ireland,

A Dublin paper gives melancholy ae-
count of the state of the laboring classes IN
the eastern portion of the county OF L'mer-
ick. According TO the writer
Every kind of food is at such an enor-
nous price that it is absolutely impossible
for them to live. The want and misery
experienced by them are greater now thih
in time orthe famine; for although the prices
then ranged something higher, still money
was in circulation, so that the lnd,an meai
was within their reach.
..But now there are not, believe through
the whole two or three baronies in the
eastern portion OF the county OF Limerick
more than $50 to 200 men employed either
by gentlemen or farmers, and that where so
many thousands would want to get work, It
is a deplorabie state for the poor people =
II is true that the work house is onen to
them, but many, l will not say how bsnme-
able, have repugnunce to enter INSIDE lis
walls, and would prefer trying 10 worA ios
the nerest pittance outside, TO going IN.
aThe accounts from another southern
county CTipperary) are of similar tenden-
CIV. Every article OF consumption 's rapidly
advancing in price, and ii markets do not
speedily come down. misery among the poor
NAV be expected. Potatoes, the maia stay
of the people, arc scarce and dear Ihey
now rate from Sd to I'd. per stone
