More Of the Beauties Of the Institution.

The St. Louis papers give an account Of
the destruction of Printing Press on the
part of the Missouri FIRE eaters at Parkville,
Platte county, Mo-, on the 18th. tits
anotherof the very mild and Christian fea-
lures Of slavery, developed by the repeal OF
the compromise. The paper issued from
the office sacked, was the "Luminary
had been printed, says the Intelligencer,
some three years. Neither Of the proprie-
tors were Abolitionists-one of them was a
STAKEHOLDER. But the paper was not quite
as pro-slavery as the 30 demanded-was
friendly to the settlement OF Kansas byany
body and every body that chose to 60 there.
And therefore the mob loaded the press
upon cart and tipped it into the Missouri
river. Laid violent hands upon one of the
proprietors- other could not be found
and would have tarred and feathered, and
ridden him on a rail, but for his wife, who
chung to her husband, begged, plead, and
with her tears did finally SO far soften them
as to procure his release on condition of his
leaving that State in three weeks-but
must not go into Kansas!
Whata beautiful institution this is which
requires such extreme measures for itspre-
servation and propagation. The Republi-
can says: "a people who will engage in
such unlawful proceedings must be greatly
exasperated by the course Of those who
have gone into the new Territory, and are
supposed to be striving to render slave
property insecure and Improbable The
Intelligencer remarks: "it is unworthy OF
the liberal spirit of the age, and unbecom-
ing the chivalric character Of Missourians.
Yet they are not so much to blame for the
affair, as the arch-demagogue, Gen: Atchi-
son and his subordinates, who have insti-
gated it. Atchison voice is net heard, nor
his name mentioned; but he is at the bot
tom Of the business. He has famed the
slavery excitement into wild and danger
Gus flame, which threatens yet more terri
BILE results than have transpired What
Go the repealers Of The Missouri Compro-
mise thipk ROW: Are the fruits Of that
repeal so glorious and promising as was pre-
dicted!"

North American Ostrich.

The Keokuk Gate City says that one of
these remarkable birds was captured a few
days since, in the neighborhood of Salem in
that county.
1t is specimen of the same. caught near
Fl Des Moines some months since, ofwhich
SO mich has been said by the papers
throughout the State. The bird was pur-
chased by Prof. Hughes, who intends pre-
pairing it for the Medical College Museum.
1t is snow white from tip to tip
Of wing over 8 feet-height 6 feet-length
of leg p feet. This is certainly very
rare specimen.

the session just closed, passed law in re-
gard to Church property, which will effec-

of his death, it shall escheat to the State.

from the bridge 10 Lewiston-cutting down
through that mass Of rocks right along the very
brink Of the river, to get an easy grade from
the upper to the lowerlevel. This is one Of the
great sights Of this region Of wonders, aud ought
to be alone sufficient 10 bring throng of curious
travellers by this route. The other road that from
Canandaigua by the Falls 10 Lake Ontario a.
Youngstown, bears of TO the right and goes down
the mounfsin near the route Of the old horse-cir
road passing Leeisro3 on the east. This part Of

half OF three fourtbs of mic from the Lewiston
wharf, waiting to see whether they Will be com
De lied IN seideieDse, to continue il down .y miles

There is another suspension bridge between
Lewiston and Queenstown for cOmmon road pur'

of 100000 Whether profitable or not | could not

farming land as can be found in this cOuntry-that
in Canada is noted for its fine wheat. and Niagara
COUNTY on this side, Will be one of the richest in
the State.
There are three lines Of boats from Lewiston
one 10 Toronto and two to Montreal, though both
of the latter are owned by one Company. The

81 o'clock, and run straight to Cape Vincent with
out stopping; shifting passengers at Ogdensburgh
TO the river boats, which arrive at Montreal the
same evening about q hours from Lewiston.
The Bay State and her consorts carry the mail,
and as matter of course are not required to be
speedy They make the trip along the south shore
Of Ontario stopping at Rochester, Oswego Sack

the first, which we pass in the night, and all the

Of all the throDg travelling for pleasure, nine
