Loss OF IdFE.--We learn that the steamel
Charleston bonnd for Cincinnati from Mem
pills. was burned last Friday night one mile
below Golconda, ILL.,, on the Ohio river
She was loaded with cotton. Her cargo, 94C
bales, was all destroyed. Four white men and
one negro are missing, supposed to be burned
The fire is supposed to have originated from 8
cigar being carelessly thrown amoug the cot
ton. The officers arrived here last Saturday
evening on the Arganaut, and took cars Sum
day evening for Cincinnati The owners OF
this boat have been unfortunate. They have
had several boats sunk or otherwise des-
troyed.
- The Harrison Bridges arrived Sstur-
day night from Green River, with good load
o. freight. Green river has been rising.
- The river was still rising here Satur-
day, and in fine condition. Falling at Pitts
bnrgh, and about on a stand at IN iaaati
The fine packet Fashion was here from
Louisville in good time Saturday. We thank
Mr.. Clark for papers. This steamer will be
here Wednesday morning for Louisville.
The Northerner broke some of her
m achinery below Paducah. last down trip, and
was compelled to return to Louisville.
- The d. A. Given is at Cincinnati load
ing for the Wabash.
- There were upwards Of ten feet water
in the Canal at Louisville last Friday. Boats
were ascending the Falls.
- The David White had LOO toas of
freight on board when she passed out of the
Ohio, picked up principally at Evansville and
points below.
- The Ohio Belle was here Saturday
morning; from Cincinnati with good load on

ever, for good deal of pork, &c. from this
place.
- The City Council of Nashville have
passed al ordinance, making it misdemeanor1
and subject to fine of not less than So or
more than SO, for q steamer whilst at the
wharf to toot their whistles.
- The Hickman was at our wharf good
while Saturday afternoon taking in freight
She left Cincinnati for New Orleans light on
Thursday, but left here with pretty good
load. Capt. Pritchard has charge qfthe Hick-
man this trip.
- The fine steamer Virginia took on
large quantity of pork and other freight at
this point last Saturday for New Orleans. She
will be very apt to gat freight here when there
is any to take, as she is a popular boat.
- Jos. Gordon, mate of The Clara Fisher
has been arrested at Pittsburgh, and held to
bail in the Sum of 81 900 for throwing man
overheard. The man was not SO seriously in
iurcd as Gordon promises to be.

A PREsEE1IMENT OF DEATH AND ITS Full
FILMENT-About two or three years ago, q
young lady, resident of this village, who at
the time was in the enjoyment of good health,
was visited one night at her bedside Gas she
affirmed at the time,) by an an apparition, who
in solemn accent informed her that at the age
Of eighteen she would be an inhabitant of an
other and better werld. She made the in
client known to her mother, who Vainly en-
deavored to erase the circumstance from the
mind of her daughter by treating it as the hal
lucination Of dream. The daughter, howev-
or, ayerred that she was in possession of her
faculties and wide awake at the time of re-
ceiving the spiritual visitor and such was the
effect it had upon her mind, that from girl
full of life and glee, she became thoughtful
and reserved, and gradually sank under its de-
pressing influence, until during the past year
she became tenant of our village grave yard
at the age of ISL Kanaerhook Rot.yh Notes.

"THPiT on IT, CAPTArKm

"A good story has been told of a lispinc
officer IN the United States army. hayin,
been vlctlmized by a brother Officer
(who was noted for his cool deliberat;or
and strong nerye,) and his gettinI.
square with him in the following man.
ner. The cool joker, q captain, wa,
always quizzing the lisping officer. who
was lieutenant, for his nervousness.
Why" said be one day in the pres
ence OF his company, nervousness is all
nonsense! / tell you, lieutenant. Nd
brave man will be nervous"
Well, inquired the lisping friend.
now would you do, thpose thell with

and where it wath thertain that if Won

pered!" f>f
How" said the captain, winking at
the circle; Why, take it cool, and spit
on the fuse
The party broke up and all retired for
the night except the patrol. The next
morning number Of soldiers were as.
sembled and talking in clusters, when
along came the lisping lieutenant; lazi.
ly opening his eyes, he remarked
Il want to try an exthperiment thith
morning, and thee how exthesdingly
cool you can be-"
Saying which he walked deliberately
to the fire burning on the hearth, anil
placed In its hottest centre a powder
canister, and instantly retreated. There
was but one mode of egreSs from tho
quarters, and that was upon the parad,
ground, the road being built up for de.
fence; the occupant took one glance at
the Canister, comprehended his situation.
and in moment dashed at the door, but
1t was fastened on the outside.
" Charley, let Inc out if you love me -
shouted the captain.
Ihpit on the canitheri" shouted hs
in return.
Not moment was to be lost he had
at first snatched up blanket 10 cover
his egreSs, but now dropping it, he raised
the window, and out he bounded, san,
culotte, sans everything but very short
undergarment; and thus, with hair
upon end, he dashed upon a full parade
ground. The shout which hailed him
brough out the whole barracks to sea
what was the matter, and the dignified
captain pulled tall sergeant in front OF
him to hide himself.
Why didn't you thpit on it," in.
quired the lieutenant.
Because there were no sharp shoot
ers in front to stop retreat" answered
the captain.
"All L have got to thay, then, ith,"
SAID the lieutenant, "that you might
thafely done it, for thware there wathn {
a thlngle grain of powder in it,"
The captain has never spoken against
nervousness since.

KISSING AMONG THE FREyCH.-A
sprghdy amusing American correspon-
dent IN Paris thus describes the rage Of
kissing in La Belle France"
1.-The almost univeral custom of kissing
IN Paris seems at first very singular to !,
stranger coming from country whers
the proprieties of life rarely permit yo,l
to take lady's hand-much less to sa
Lutte her. In France, to kiss a lady will,
whom you are not at all intimate, OIL
meeting her is very common, especially
is this the case if she be a married lady.
Not only the members of the family, but
all the guests, expect invariably to salute
the lady of the house on coming down i'm
the morning. But though the modest
American may, perhaps escape the cere-
mony on ordinary occasions, yet on New
Year S morning it is imperative. On that
morning | came down to my coffee about
3 o'clock. sat down quietly, bidding
Madame bon jour, as on ordinary occa-
sion. But was not to get off so easily,
In few momentS she was at my elbow
with Mons. D., L am very angry with
YOU L expressed, of course, q regret and
ignorance OF having given any reason.
"Ah" said she, ''you know very well
the reason. 1t is because you did not en-
brace me when you came down this NOR
ing"
Madame was lady Of perhaps twenty
eight, with jet black, glossy hair. large
lustrous black eyes, and clear, fair COM
plexion. She was very beautiful; had
she been plain / should have felt less en-
barrassed. Size waited as though expect
ing me to atone for my neglect; but how
could before the table | sat at all this
time trembling in my seat. AT length
madame said Mons. B, em5rdse= MOI
The worst had come. arose trembling.
put my white bloodless lips, all greasy
with butter and wet with coffee flor IN

MEDIcAL.-Since l849, a prize of one
hundred thousand francs has been offered
by the French Academy of Sciences, for
prescription which would cure the
Asiatic cholera in the majority of cases.
AT late sitting of the Academy, the
committee appointed to examine the nu.
merous communications upon the sub.
Ject, reported that not one Of the many
suggestions offered was worth farthing.
1t has now been decided that any per
son who shall discover a positive indica-
ton of the causes Of the disease, SO ttat
by the removal of them it will disappear
or who shall discover sure preventive,
such as vaccination is for the small pox,
shall be entitled to receive the prize.
There is likewise standing offer Of five
thousand francs for a demonstration of
the existence, in the terrestrial atmos-
phere, OF any matter or snimalcule oper-
atlVe IN the propagation of epidemic dis
eases.
