D9ATa or DocroR KAxr-The telegraph last

DsATH OF DoCroR KANE.-'The telegraph last
night brought us tho sad intelligence of the
death of the great Artic adycnturer. His death
will be sincerely muurned by thousands of the
best people in both hemispheres, inasmuch as
he had by his daring desire for scientific discoy-
cry contributed so largely to our knowledge Of
the paths of the great deep.
Doctor Kane was born in Philadelphia in 1922,
and old as he was in fame and in theoretical and
experimental science, had but entered upon his
thirty fifth year; an age nj which most men have
hardly more than begun to found reputation.
He received his academic education at the Uni
vcrsity of our State, and afterwards graduated
as doctor of medicine at the University of Penn
sylvania. Shortly afterwards he entered the u.
s. Navy as a Surgeon and accompanied the first
embassy to China. He Travelled through China,
the Philippines, Ceylon, and Central India
He was the first white man who ever descended
into the crater of Luzen. In these adventures
he performed several daring exploits, and passed
through scenes to which the less rugged consti-
tutions and determined wills of his companions
gave way. He travelled through Greece on foot;
he also explored the Nile as far us Nubia. While
exploring on the coast of Africa he was attacked
by a force greatly superior TO his own, and only
saved himself and companions by his daring
prowess in hand to hand fight. In 1850 he
set sail in the great Grinnell expedition to the
Artic Seas His second expedition has won for
him name which will cmbalm him in the hearts
of learned men as heroic martyr to science.

FROM THE RIO GRANDE.-By the arrival yesterday
of the steamship Gen. Rusk, Capt. Forbes. we have
received the Brownsville Flag ofthe l6th from which
we extract the following . s ,..
We are in receipt of letter dated Carrie, 9th
inst from very reli9be FRIEND who informs that
the Indians are creating great havoc among the Mex
cans on the opposite side. Carrizo is thriving
American town in Webb county, situated opposite
the Mexican town CT Guerrero, and between Laredo
and Roma.
Our friend writes us: We have nothing new on
our side. In Mexico the Indians committing dep
relations daily. A party of about fifty went as low
down as the San Juan River. They are savage, and
am told more so than common Isuppose on account
of Nidaurri's using them up in the summer of 1856
They have burnt their prisoners. They are Mas Gale
ros, Gaulanches and Lipans, armed with rifles and
sixshooters."
1t will be remembered that in 1856, this tribe OF
Llpans was nearly extermnated by a body OF troops
acting under the orders from Gen Vidaurri then
| Governor of the Mexican State of Nuevo Leon. Ac-
tuated by revenge the remnant of these have
doubtless allied themselves with the Camanches and
the small tribe of Muscaleros, to visit vengeance on
the frontier We think they will find Vidaurri still
match for them, that his hands are free from San
Luis, and in the meantime it would be well for our
military defenders to provide against their crossing
on to this side OF the river.

TRoYE's PAINTINGs.-The oftener these beautiful
works of art visited and contemplated the more
do they asen upon the fancy. The greatest picture
of the ve to our notion is the picture of the Dead
Sea- 1t is desolations very self transferred to can
vas, and we value it the more from knowing that it
is fancy sketch but actual Inning from nature,
painted by Mr. Troye beneath his tent on the no rth
western shore of the The mrrorlike surface of
the water, mantled by blush haze through which
the declining sun glares urdy upon the red rocks of
the far off shore-rocky shores, CLASSY water and
smoky mist blending and disappearing into each
other in the distance no trees or grass or flowers or
BIRDS any living thing to give cheer to the fore
ground--nothing but shiny, salty shore, aboundng
in bones Of animals and skeletons of reesthe latter
brought down by the Jordan-and all petrifyng in'a
sort of neverendng DEATH form picture which the
reverent mind cannot speedily tire of gazing upon.
This picture alone is well worth the price of admis-
sion, though the other pictures are equally good in
their way. They are to be seen from 10 o'clock A.
NJ. till 10 P. NJ, daily in the lecture room Of Odd
Fellows Hall.

MAKING Fun OF Ir-The Washington correspon.

MAKING Fun OF Ir.-The Washington correspon-
dent of the Rochester Union, says:
Messrs. Harmon and Brodhead, late Collector and
Postmaster at Detroit have had some fun over their
decapitation. They went to an ambrotypist and had
several full length portraits taken then they cut off
their heads and pasted the pbure upon another piece
of paper so that their heads appeared severed from
their bodies and little clare trckling their
linen told at once the object of the artist.
Having had several copies of the picture taken in
them to Gen Cass, who at their request ranked them
to prominent Democrats in Michigan. The venerable
Secretary was not apprsed of the contents of the
yelope, and as they contained no explanation other
than was conveyed by the picture itself, those who
received might infer that the joke had been perpe-
trated by Gen. Cass himself.

man, has yet received no answer. The inquiry was
made at the request of the joint committee recently
appointed to provide for the award of the legacy in
