p FIRsr-RArE puFF.-Ala large dry goods
establishment was recently burned down
in this city, when one of the large fre-safe
manufacturers of New York, who knew
they had one of their articles in the build
ing, wrote on, and requested the proprie-
tors of the ruined store, to state how their
safe had withstood the confagration.-
The answer was as follows: Gentlemen
your safes are wonderful. Nothing can
surpass them for protecting books and
papers, though they have some unfortu-
nate opposite effects. One of our clerks,
on Saturday, bought a Shanghai rooster,
and at night, unknown to us, put it for safe
keeping in the safe. That night, our es-
adjustment was destoyed by fire, and the
safe and its contents were exposed to a
tremendous heat for thirty-six hours, at
the end of which time it was hoisted out
red hot. As soon as possible, it was open
ed, when, you may Judge of our surprise,
when we found within it the Shanghai
rooster leaning against the ledger, frozen
to deatap'-Spiru ofthe Times.

Indiana Senators.

Indiana Senators.
Are Bright and Fitch legally elected ?
The Democratic papers say "aye," the
Republican "no." We know they were
not elected according to the usual method,
or rather we know that the JOINT Conven-
ton which returned them was not assem-
bled in accordance with the usual form
observed, but as there is no state law pre-
scribing the exact manner of electing Sen
ators, the Senate of the United States will
be the Judge and we are inclined to think
they will keep their seats. This opinion
is strengthened by the fact that the rejec-
ton of Harlan WAS because there was not
majority Of both Houses participating
in his election-in the Indiana cese there
aoas a majority Of both Houses, sixty-two
members of the House or twelve over half,
and twenty-s Senators or one over half,
answering to their names on the call of the
clerk. .a .=8 .#.~0r.

Spiritualism.

6piritualism.
In the village of Ludlow, in Western
Massachusetts, a singular manifestation Of
the peculiar influences of the spiritual
doctrines now so extensively diffused
in the community, was made public last
week. A widower in Springfield profess
ed to have received communication from
his departed wife, informing him that her
spirit had taken possession of the body Of
a married woman residing at Ludlow, to-
wards whom, in consequence, he was full
ly entitled to claim the position and au-
thority of husband. 1t does not appear
from the narrative, as We find it in the pa
pers, what became, or was supposed to
become Of the proper and original spirit
Of the Ludlow woman. We are left I'M
informed as to whether that evacuated
the premises at the approach Of the usnrp-
ing spirit from Springfield, or whether
the two souls continue to occupy the tene-
ment in common.
However that may be, the husband of
the Ludlow woman, who is himself a zeal
Gus Spiritualist, on being told of the extra
ordinary spiritual Transformation that had
befallen his wife, promptly surrendered
her into the conjugal possession Of the
Springfield widower, by whom she was re-
ceived as his own wife, clothed with anoth-
or woman's body. A sister of the trans
formed wife-the Ludlow wife, we mean
appears to have been implicated in this
strange affair, which at length aroused
the attention and the wrath of the neigh
bors, who broke up the spiritual circle,
by tarring and feathering the Springfield
man, riding him out Of town on rail, and
giving warning to the women to depart
forthwith.
There is reason to believe that transac-
tons of this nature, not of course precise
ly similar in detail, but similar in charac.
ter, are becoming alarmingly frequent
among the disciples of spiritualism.-
Probably not one tenth of those that occur
are made public, because every induce
ment exists to cover them, If possible
with the closest veil of secrecy. But
enough is known to make certain that
they have already caused a frightful
amount of revolving criminality and do
mestic misery. The evil, too, seems to
be upon the increase. The tendency to
loose and innovating notions on the sub
ject of marriage is manifestly becoming
widespread among the followers Of the
new faith, and unless some measures are
taken to check this tendency, the result
will be a perversion of opinions and a
decentralization OF manners involving the
gravest consequences to society.-Bosto'

Hoosier Gate.

Hoosier Gate. ...........
We invite attention to an advertisement
with the above heading. We know the
gentleman whose name is at the foot of it,
and we have witnessed the working of
the Gate. 1t is got up with but small
expense, and its construction is so simple
as to forbid the idea of its getting out of
order. We do not believe any one can
see it in operation and resist the opinion
that all the world will have "Hoosier
Gate as soon as it can be brought before
the public. In our opinion, it presents
the best opportunity ever offered to those
who desire to make money out of a Patent
right, which can not be otherwise than a
public benefit. A drawing and description
can be seen at our office.

Drowned.

Drowned.
While passing up the Maquoketa on
Friday last we met some men who were
searching that stream for the body of a
woman who was carried down by the cur
rent the day before. 1t seems that she
was in company with young man who
attempted to cross, in cutter. The
depth and swiftness of the water over
turned the cutter and both were carried
with lightning speed down the stream
The man caught the branches of an over
hanging willow and was rescued-the wo-
man was scarcely seen after the accident,
and up to Friday 10 O'Clock her body had
not been found; we learned no names.

News,
We can safely say that this article is
not found in our market this week. The
Mail bag from the South came in as usual,
but there was nothing in it, owing proba-
bly, to the impossibility of crossing the
Turkey or some other stream between
this and Dubuque. The ice in the Mis-
sissippi has become SO weak that it is un-
safe to cross the River and hence our
Eastern connection is broken off. Have
patience friends-read the old papers over
again as we have to do, and be grateful for
the small favors that the Government and
the Weather are enabled to dispense to
US. There is good time coming, and
we should not mar present pleasures by
"fretting our gizzards" about that which
is irremediable.

The River.

The River.
From present appearances the Missis-
sippi will open unusually early. The
mildness of the weather is having it's in
fuence on the ice and the safety of the
winter Bridge at this point is questionable
even for footmen. Teams declined the
risk several days ago. The rise in the
River is also having a salutary effect in
breaking the ice and we may hope that a
few days only will be required to ship
towards the Gulf as large feet of Ice.

Every interest hereaway is wishing it a
speedy departure. The winter has been
cold in the extreme but it has not been
tiresomely long. Business is already
looking up, in anticipation of an early

as general thing, while many of our

to know at what expenditure of money

enquiry propria persona, when the lady
very complacently gave us the following
bill of items and costs:
