inches, and that its surface was almost completely
covered with heavy floating ice. Sevealsupward-
bound boats were obliged to lie up The Republican
of the 9th says: -. ......
The river at this point was falling steadily all day
yesterday, at the rate of one inch per hour At 5
O'Clock last evening it had fallen full ten feet since the
time of our last report, and the whole decrease has
been from two and half to three feet. The weather
was pleasantly cool, with the wind in the South. To
ward evening tne wind shifted to the west and it blew
up colder The prospects were a hard freeze last
night. The ice in the river hourly increasing, and
except the Alton packets Two of tie Jefferson City
and Western packets arrived and have laid up for the
winter. The Alton packets and one boat from the
Missouri were the only arrivals from above with car

WASHINGTON, Dec 8, 1856 Senate-The Senate
was not in session to-day.
House of Representatives,, !. The House resumed
the consideration of the Whitefeld case.
After a great many motions and much talk, which
amounted to nothing the further consideration of the
subject was postponed to Monday, and made the
order of the day.
on motion Of Mr. Stanton, the House adopted
resolution for members to select their seats. -,
According to the method prescribed. all the seats
were vacated; the members retiring without the bar
As the clerk drew each name, written on separate
piece of paper, from a box, (Which many gentlemen
demanded should be well shaken) the members gene
rally made their selection, seating themselves to Sc
cure possession l@3
Much laughter was occasioned by Whitfeld's name
being first drawn. Several of his friends expressed
satisfaction by huzzas and waving Of hats. Several
on the other side exclaimed, sWhat business had his
name in the box 2; and He has no right to seat.
The Speaker interposed in support Of this last eX
from Kansas being undecided.
The House then adjourned to Monday.

which, when found, were, he informs u.s. plump and
smooth, bearing more striking resemblance to
the human face than now. 1t is about the size of
goose egg, and is much the same shape, save where
the smooth surface is varied by the outline of the tea
lures and all OF it except the face is covered by
substance remarkably resembling hair! It is unques
tonably fungus and The wonder is the perfection Of
the face. Mr. Bell informs us that i'll the mouth,

A Plea for Kissing.

The fountain mingled with the river,
IA The river with the ocean:
The winds Of Heaven mix forever,
With sweet commotion.
Nothing on the earth's single,
All things by law divine
In another being mingle.
Why not I with mine? '--- '
See the mountain kiss high heaven,
And the waves clasp one another
No leaf nor flower would be forgiven,
fit disdained to kiss its brother;
And the sunlight clasps the earth:
And the moonbeams kiss the sea-.
But what are all these kissings worth,
IF thDu kiss not me!

1t is universally conceded that this place is one
among the most healthy river cities in the West We
have resided in this city number of years and have
noticed that when sickness of all kinds prevailed to
an alarming extent in other neighboring cities we,
with the exception of 1851 at which time the cholera
made its appearance among us and proved fatal to
many, were blessed with the enjoyment of health,
every one comparatively speaking appeared to move
