Santa Anna still INDUCES the pleasing dclu-
sion that he will be called again to the head of
affairs in Mexico, after having been driven out
80 often. He is a hopeful tyrant and appar-
emily builds his trust upon what other men
would regard as damning proofs OF. incapacity
and neligibility-repeated defeats and a thors
rough, popular detestation of his acts. He ha-
recently issued an address to the Mexican poo
pie, denouncing the present government OF
Comonfort, the new Constitution, the laws at
fectng the property and privileges Of the cler-
gy, &c, and announcing that there must be
another sanguinary revolution, even though
half of the territory Of the republic should have
to be sold to supply the sinews Of war. The
people of Mexico appear to BIO of different
opinion. They are now in the midst of pop
ular revolution, such as the Constitution pro-
vides for by means Of the ballot-box, and SO
| far they manifest conhding trust in the abil.
| ity of their intelligent President, Comonfort
| who has received majority ofthe votes ofthe
people of the country.

LAMENTABLE OccURREScE.-At noon on Sa-
turday, small boy, two and a half years old,
named Thomas Hockring, whose parents re-
side in Cressen's alley, in the vicinity Of Sixth
and Race streets, was killed in the following
| manner The mother had taken the child TO a
store, at Sixth and Race streets, and left it on
the pavement while shs went into the Store.-
| A hand. barrow was standing against the front
of the store which the child took hold Of and
pushed to the curb, where a horse attached to
q wagon, was tied to a post. The barrow was
pushed against the legs Of the horse, which
frightened the animal, and in his plunges he
threw the barrow over, and the child being
between the handles, was thrown under the
feet of the horse. Before assistance could
reach it the horse had tramplednpon it, crushed
the head of the child in most shocking man
ner, as well as breaking its limbs. This was
the work of but minute, and the little pratt
tier, which the mother had just left, was re-
stored to her arms mangled corpse. Coroner
Delayan held an inquest on the body and 9

A Day in Ottawa.

The Aurora Beacon of Saturday discourse.
thus:
The last two days have brought upward
Of 8, 600 bushels of corn to Aurora each
In Nessrs. Nix 4 Plum's warehouse day be
fsre yesterday there were 1885 bushels
grain received; yesterday, 4,56o bushels,
and also shipped to Chicago 3, 1856 bushels.
Aurora "sets up" to be quite . city, and
claims to do heavy business in grain. Ii
is . small place, however, by the side Of OF
tawa taking the above figures as an index.
Last Saturday, there were unloaded at the
different warehouses in this city s21 wagon
loads Of grain, Cloths Of it corn, averaging
at least 40 bushels to the load This would
give an aggregate Of at least 81, 900 bushels
and this, We were assured by the warehouse
men, was by no means the heaviest day OF
the week. There were in town during the
day certainly over thousand teams from
the country, blocking our principal streets
occasionally SO that it required sharp dodg-
ing to get through without becoming tan
glsd."

FIRE.-Abont IL o'clock on Tuesday night
an old, unoccupied building standing near
the ravine bridge in West .ottawa, was set
on FIRE by some one on mischief or crime
intent, and burned down. The building be-
longed to Hon. VIM. Reddick, we believe !;
was worth nothing, but should have been
spared by the incendiary on account of its
historical associations. It was one of the
first buildings erected in Ottawa; and had
in its day-been the court house, post office,
county clerks and recorders Office, dwell
ing house, and devoted We don't know to
how many other uses. Some 10 years ago
it was moved ACROSS the Illineis river on the
ice, to its late locality, mile or more from
where it WAS originally built.
The Ottawa free trader. [volume] (Ottawa, Ill.) 1843-1916, 1857-06-13

PErxR Russxl's.-Ths best business i'm.
provement in Ottawa this year seem all to
be up La Sslls Street, in which direction
business seems to be making rapid strides.
Foremost among the new buildings in that
locality, are the three new stores erected BY
Peter Russell. From small beginnings, our
froiend Russell has, by steadily and unosten-
tatiously persuing his business of making
and selling furniture, gone up so that he is
now the owner Of enc of the handsomest
business blocks in Ottawa. Peter is hard
working, active stirring man, and deserves
to succeed

RuSAwAY.-We learn that on Tuesday
afternoon, team belonging to Mr.. G. W.
Pickens, of Livingston county, and driven
BY his hired man, took fright just as it was
passing off the south end of the Illinois
River Bridge, and ran at a furious rate up
the narrow road leading to the bluff. The
driver was thrown off and very badly bruis-
ed, 80 that he will not recover for several
weeks, the wagon was broken to pieces, and
the lumber and shingles with which it was
loaded scattered in all directions. Tit
horses were recovered uninjured.

NEW ENGLAND BARDs.-Whoeyer wants
to enjoy rich musical treat, will not fail to
go to Metropolitan Hall this evening and
hear the New England Bards. This troupe
was here last fall, and no concert ever given
in Ottawa gave better satisfaction. Durant
is probably the best comic singer in the
country. He was the life of Ossian Z.
Dodge's company, SO celebrated several
