Mathematicians pretend that straight
line is the nearest way between two points,
but these Dubuque stagers claim that the
furthest round is the nearest through, or,
that the periphery of a circle is less thar

The nearest, best and cheapest way te

AppoLoNIA P. O.-This office, lately es-
tablished at divers Mills, D. OLIVER, Post
master, has been vacated by order Of the
General Department at Washington. An
effort is being made to extend the Galena
and Beetown route on west to Gutten-
berg, which would pass by divers Mills
and cause that Post Office to be restored. -
The extension of that route as above, wo'd
be of valuable service to the inhabitants
and we cannot see that any place could be
injured thereby. The citizens Of Clayton

object, and we have no doubt the route
will be extended sooner or later.

The INDIAN MAssACRE.-Jhe San Antonio
Western Texan of the Goth has the following adj
ditional particulars, relative to the recent muir
ders by the Indians near that city:
"A company of soldiers followed in pursuit of
the Indians, about II hours after the massacre
took place, and the next day a large company
was organized by Majors Neighbors and Howard,
and great excitement was manifested by citi-
zens generally. Some three or four companies
are already in pursuit, amounting in all to near
one hundred men, and they have been in pursuit
three days. A Mexican and his wife, who lived
in the vicinity of the murdered family, have been
missing since Sunday,and it is thought that they
are either murdered or taken into captivity. The
Mr.. j. Z. Beckman, accompanied by some five or
six others. well armed, left city for the resi-
dence of Mr.. Forester to see if they could learn
anything in regard to the children.
son arriving at the house they met sight too
horrible to relate. The father was lying in the
door, shot through the heart, scalped and the top
part of his head cut off with an axe, which was
near by; the two daughters, one of them H. the
other Ii years. were dead on the floor, near by,
shot with several arrows and stabbed, and it was
evident that they had been treated in the most
cruel and barbarous manner. The babe was also
lying dead, stabbed through the body with large
knife;one only was missing,a boy about six years
which they evidently had taken with them. The
mother distinctly remembers seeing her oldest
daughter trying to defend herself with a knife,
and the same knife was near her when she was

SERIOUS RENCONTRE.

DANNlLlE. May -.
On the night of the 9th inst, serious rencon-
tire took place on the opposite side of the river
and not far from Danvle, between VIM LYNN
and Lynch OWEN. Upon meetng.a severe strug-
gle ensued, in which Lynn inflicted several severe
wounds upon Owen with a cane sword. A ply
scian was called to the wounl led man, and upon
investigation he found several severe wounds, but
none of necessarily fatal character He was
found in very precarious situation, but has raj
lied since and it is hoped he will recover.
Lynn, and one or two alleged accomplices we're
arrested yesterday and examined before magis-
trate who committed l.. to jail to answer at Il call
ed court. Considerable effort was made to bail
him but the magistrate would not acquiesce.
Lynn is young man of steady business habits,
and was never engaged in such an affair before.
Owen is a man somewhat advanced in years,
a family. He is said to be at times passionate
and rather noted for getting into difficulties.

every case where n note of less denomination
than five dollars is offered or issued a money,

The fine may be recovered by motion before
single Justice or Alderman. one hnlf to go to
the informer the other to the City Treasury.
We cannot undertake TO say how far this law
will be respected and obeyed by the people of
the State. No one can deny that if specie
currency can be substituted for the dirty shin
pIasters with which we are now afflicted, the
change will be AN advantageous one. The doubt Is
whether sufficient amount of gold and silver to
answer the purposes Of change can be procured
and we are not aware Of any efforts being made
10 obtain it, So far rs we can form an idea OF
the disposition of the people of Lynchbmg in
the matter,t is to do as others do" OF one
thing, howeyor,we feel assured-if the law is OBJ
seryed,it will be by the voluntary acquiesence Of
the people and not from constrained obedience,
put of fear of the penalties. No informer will
