COAL COMPANY,

4 Company has been formed, called
the White Cloud Coal Company, whose
object is to work the coal mines West Of
here, and keep a supply of the article
constantly on the Wharf. to boats,
or to any person who may want
it. The arrangements are not yet COM
pleted, bat no doubt viii speedily be-
They can make handsome thing of it,
by getting into successful operation soon,
and while navigation is open. The St.
Joseph Gazette thus speaks of the pro-
ject:--
WHITE CLoUD Coal conrAST.-we under
stand that this Company is now actively engaged
In mining the extensive coal beds on their lands
near White Cloud, and that it is their intention
to keep large quantity at that place on the
wharf TO supply boats. We would call the at
tention Of our citizens to this important fact,
and urge upon the formation Of a company among
US, to have this city well supplied with fuel on
opening of next winter. We are now in the
midst Of the heated term" an6 are apt to be-
come forgetfuI of the difficulty we all encoun-
tered last winter in procuring wood, and the
enormous cost of it when it could be Obtained
Unless We can put check on the extortion our
citizens have suffered from dealers in wood, We
must witness q serious check to our prosperity,
for men who labor with their hands for a living,
cannot stand up under such prices. Shall we suf
fer our laboring classes to be driven from amsng
rs by such cause, when we can by union Of
our capital and energy reduce the price Of fuel
within reasonable bounds, and thus Also confer
an important benefit on every class Of people2
The river is now open, coal is abundant and
of the best quality at White Cloud, only fifty
miles distant BY water. and we have boats con
stantly making down trips past the coal depot at
that place; let US resolve that we viii have it
here, and il can be done.
We suggest that all who see the Importance
Of this movement will meet at this Office on to-
morrow evening. We have money enough here
to accomplish a revolution in the fuel trade, and
speaking for the majority Of our citizens, we
say that il shall be done, and that wood can new
again be sold at from five to ten dollars cord
in this city. We intend to spare no pains to eff
feet the reduction of fuel, satisfied as we are
that no greater benefit can be conferred on the
people in this latitude than cheap wood and coal,
and that without these necessary elements Of
prosperity in ABUNDANCE at decent prices, the
growth and welfare of St Joseph must be great
ly retarded, If not permanently injured.

An Exciting Case in Switzerland COun'
ty, Indiana.

The Evansville Enquirer gives the following
account of an exciting case, which lately occur
red in Switzerland County, Indiana:
The lamentable State of morals that exists at
present in some of our larger cities, seems to be
extending over the rural districts. Information
has come to US in reference to a Grim. con. case,
which is now in the ears of the citizens of Swift
zerland County, in this State. The particulars,
50 far as we could CLEAN them, were as follows:
A respectable mechanic, whom we shall desig-
nate as Mr.. Dean, having suspicious that an i'm
proper intimacy existed be1Eeen his better-half
and Mr.. Gurley, an attorney ofsome note, "set
his pegs to ascertain the facts. M. D. inform
ed his wife that in a few days business would re-
quire his presence at Cincinnati, and appointed
the evening of his departure. The time rolled
around, and, bidding q vile AN aSeef;6uate
goodbye" he proceeded, carpet sGck in hand,
on his way to the town of Patriot, the nearest
point Of embaTkation. A short time after dark,
he retraced his steps; and, meeting one of his
neighbors, unfolded to him his suspicious, and
solicited his aid in detecting and furnishing the
supposed offender. The two approached the
house, which exhibited no light from the win
dows, although carly in the evening. This, to-
gether with the fact that horse was discovered
hitched near the house, led Mr.. d. to suppose
that his suspicious were well founded, and nery-
ed him TO accomplish his desperate determina-
ton. He placed his friend at the front door as
sentinel, and proceeded to the back part of the
house, where he noiselessly effected an entrance
through window. Here he lit lamp, and ap-
preached the door Of his bedroom, which he
suddenly opened, and discovered Mr.. C. in the
act Of dressing himself With the fury of tiger
he pitched at Mr.. G., and plunged his knife into
him several times, and would have killed him
on the spot, had not the aitbless wife seized her
arm, and, extinguishing the light, bid
G. make his escape under cover of darkness,
which he did in dOubIe-quiek time. He succee.
led in reaching his home, and at last accounts,
was in imminent danger Of paying for his folly
It the expense Of his life.

lMPRovEMESTs.--The spirit of improve
ment' pervades this community to graft
flying extent. The sound of the carpcn-
ter's hammer is heard from morning to
night, and new buildings are seen rising
in every direction--yet many buildings
are kept back, from the fact that the saw
mills cannot furnish lumber as fast as il
is demanded, and sufficient number Of
carpenters cannot be obtained; notwith-
standing, we are informed, carpenters re-
ceive some fifty cents more per day than
even in Omaha or Leavenworth, and
boarding is not as high as in either of the
above places.
OF the buildings going up, VIC may
mention some sir or seven to be occupied
as Dry Goods, Drug. Grocery and Pro-
vision Stores, one Hotel. several shops, a
public hall by the City Company, and
quite number of dwelling houses
This is only sprinkling of what will be,
afte the Lot Sales, on the Fourth Of

~A friend, writing us from the
East, says he contemplates paying White
Cloud a visit, sometime during the sea-
son, and wants to know where Me shall
land, to get here. AS near as we can
get at it, he would better land at White
Cloud. unless he wishes to come part Of
the way by lsnd-in which case. he can
60 ashore anywhere down the river
But we would advise him to keep on
board until he gets here. he viii not
find it difficult to land here-the boats
lie up to the shore. with the guards on a
level with the bank, and he viii find il
as easy stepping ashore, without the aid
of plank, as to step from one room of a
house into another-then he viii be in

The Last nRsa Cant .


Banishcd by law are becom ing the old
red cents" Congress has provided a
nfw cent, not red. but the color of q
quS adroon, South. or a negro voter, North.
Il Ms about one third the size of the old
red Ncent.
The first of the new coinage appeared
at thu Mint at Philadelphia on Monday
last. NThere was great rash to get them
.-old sd cents and old Spanish coin
were 4 ken in exchange. The way the
old Bungtown coppers and Spanish pis-
tareens Jaw about was caution. A cor.
respondent thus describes it:
Those lwho were served rushed into
the street with their money bags, and
many of then were immedialeIy surround
ed BY an oulside crowd, who were viii
ling to buy pit in small lots at an adj
vance on fir4 cost. We saw quite a
number of peAsoas on the Steps of the
mint, dealing out the new favorites at
an advance Of from thirty to a hundred
per cent, and some of the outside pur-
chasors even huckstered out the coin
again in smaller lots at a still heavier ad-
vance. The great majority Of those who
came out made tracks with their bags
OF money, and not an omnibus went east
ward past the mint for several hours that
did not, like the California steamers.
carry "spccie in the hands Of the pas
sengers."
Those who made tI,eir way homeward
afoot attracted the attention Of passers-ty
by their display of specie bags. and we
doubt much whether. in the history Of the
mint, the was ever so great rush inside
the building, or so animated scene out
side of it. 1t was, in efFect, at once the
funeral of the old coppers and OF the an
cient Spanish coins AMI the giving of a
practical working existence to the new
cents.
In the course of few weeks the new
coin will be plentiful enough at par, the
Spanish coins will go out Of the hands of
the brokers just as they already have dis
appeared from ordinary circulation, and
as regards the old cents there will be
mary red" to be seen. except such as
will be found in the cabinets Of coin coll
lectors.

Coon PRosPEcr FOR MAILs.--Mr.
Baton, the gentlemanly Maj Agent. was
here last week, in company with Gov,
Bigler, and planned out mail arrange
ments. 70 be completed in the shortest
possible time, By means of which, White
Cloud viii be favored with as good mail
facilities as any other place in the Ter.
ritory.
The horse mail from Doniphan to
Archer. in Nebraska, the route of which
lies Just West of here, is hereafter to
mske this place point in theroute; and
the hack which runs from Doniphan,
BY way Of tho Mission, as far as Iowa
Point, will; by the new arrangement,
mako White Cloud the northern termi-
nus Of its route. A route is also to be
established, by which tri-wceSly mail
will be carried from Oregon, Mo-, by
way Of White Cloud, to Padonia, Ply
mouth and Richmond, in Brown and
Nemaha Counties. The latter arrange
ment viii probably have to await Con-
aressional action but the balance will
not be subjected to. that delay.
