Use of the Dictionary.

words below can all be found in the die

write English, or speak it, and still use an
unknown tongue. The letter purports 10

amount Of increase. The case of q largo
banking firm in Chicago was su Increase
oft is. That firm issued circulars throsgh-
out the northwest, inviting persons to de-
posit with them at per cent. Msny
took advantage Of that offer and the result
was that the bank failed. He iustanced
this to show that if they fix seven per cent
as the rate Of interest, it would not induce
greater confidence and capitalists would
call the Governors attention to the fact
that the State had fixed upon its legal
rate, and the rate they would be willing
to give. Confidence was what capitalists
were now seeking, and not SO much q
large amount of interest.
Mr.. Conger cited quotations TO show
that the longer the timc before stocks
were redeemable, tho higher they stood
in the market, the security being equal.
After some further debate the amend
mcnt reducing the proposed rate Of interest
to six per cent was adopted.

Wol thlcss People,

1t IL, indeed, a lameutablc fact, that
many Of tho young people Of this iutslli-
gent community mako it their business 10

young men about our town who hsve be-
como practical loafcrs, and who are scca
hanging around our public places Of resort
at almost all hours Of tho day, excepting
meal time, when they arc always ready to
play full hand.
We assert that this habit has destroyed
more young men in our towns and sities
than all ether causes put togethcr--our
State and County prisons arc full Of such
our old men who have grown up to worth
less droncs, pat in their best days loafing.
and We are nfi aid that some Of our loafers
are travelling the same road. But, alas
ii ID not confined alone to our young men.
Thore 10 q class Of human beings who
Ike to be styled "young ladics," who also
become worthless--while their fathers, hon
est laboring men. work early and latc 10
mako living, and their mothers enslavo
themselves TO mako them tidy, and cook

lolling about, terrified at nothing so much
as the idea Of earning even the salt that
seasons their food. They bavo hatred

The ostensible motive for the arrest of.

and was on his return to Washington at
the time Of bis arrcst. with the official copy
Of tho Lecompton Constitution in his pos
session. A fow Free State men who knew
this determined that his official copy should
never reach Mr.. Buchanan, and took this
means Of preventing it.

for the official copy. Washington letter
writers will no doubt inform you that "tho

ted o-morrow"--but heed them not

LAwREoss, X. T., Monday, Jan. 49,.
There is serious difficulty with the In.
dians on the Shawnee Reservation near
Franklin, a few miles from this place.
Their selections Of lands are not yet made
public, so they regard all the white set-
tiers as intruders, and feel bitterly towarda
them. Two or three days since, q feud
which had existed for some time between
Schouler, white settler, and Ned Tooley,
an Indian, resulted in collision between
armed bands Of eight or ten on both sidss.
Sehouler was badly stabbed, apd be shot
Tooley dead on the spot.
The Indians wrought up to desperation
by revenge, prepared for extreme measures
OF retaliation. Last night an armed body
of hundred and fifty Of them, surrounded
the country, drove of tho families Of tho
settlers and burned eight or ten dwellings.
Promp steps will probably DO taken ts
quell them, by calling out the niliiis,. J

LUDIcRoUs SCENE IN A CoURT RooM.--
Among the prisoners awaiting sentence in
the Brooklyn Police Court, last Monday,
says the Now York Express, was an Irish
man upon whose face the small pox was
found to be just breaking out with great
virulence. A general stampede took place,
the clerk turned ghastly white and made
a somerset out Of tho window, and tho
Judge, thinking The building was falling,
went after the clerk in most undignifed
manner, while the Deputy Sheriff and 9TH
or officers clim5o! tho posts and took re.
fuge among the rafers. The poor Irish
man was forced out Of the door and bidden
TO clear away and never return; and, as
no one would venture back, the Court was
pronounced TO stand adjourned.
