Rea-A lamentable accident occurred near
Lake City, Minnesota, few weeks ago, by
the upsetting of sail boat, by which four
young ladies lost their lives. Two Of them
were sisters from Mazeppa, a small village
near Lake City, the others daughters of
Judge Stout Their bodies were recover
ed week afterwards, when, as may well
beimagined sad funeral procession wended
its way to the church yard. They were
with party ON an excursion to Maiden
Rock, and on their return sudden flaw
upset the boat, precipitating two young
men and five ladies into the water, three
of whom only were rescued in sinking
condition. BY private letter we learn
that one of the lost was engaged to be mar
ried in short time to Alex. Jacobs, ESQ.
formerly of this county.

eG~The " Elixir" prepared by Dr. James
Williams, for the cure Of Dyspepsy and
nothing but Dyspepsy, as advertised in anoth-
er column,) has by its own merits obtained
for itself so high reputation in Philadelphia,
that physicians acquainted with its properties
are using it themselves and prescribing it to
their patients, convinced by observation of its
great efficacy in restoring the disordered di.
gestive organs to a healthy function. M
merous cases of dyspepsy of the most aggra-
yated character, which were abandoned as
incurable by some of the medical faculty,
have by the use Of this Elixir been restored
to perfect health as aeested certificates testi-

WAsHINGToN, june l9.-Despatches have
been received from Mr.. Dallas at the State
Department. covering the response of the
British Government to the letters of Secretary
Cass upon the recent searches of American
vessels in the Gulf The pith of these de
spatches is that, while England disavows all
authority for any offensive acts that may have
been committed, and while standing ready to
make all the reparation that may be required,
she is not, at the same time, willing to aban-
don the right of visiting all vessels that may
be suspected of being engaged in the traffic
of slaves. In other words, the most effective
measures will still be used for its suppression.
1t is however, the desire of the British Gov
ernment that these visits may be made in the
most acceptable manner and to secure this,
the English Minister for Foreign Affairs
would be pleased to receive such suggestions
as the Cabinet Of the United States may be
disposed to make. The tenor of these de-
spatches being entirely unlocked for, has Gre
ated no little feeling on the part Of the Pres
ident, who, it is confidently predicted, will
insist at once upon the abandonment of the
position which England asserts her intention
of adhering to. In other words, the right Of
visit will not be conceded by Mr.. Buchanan
in any shape whatever.

THE CRoPS-Our farmers have COM
menced cutting grass, which at present
stands in good condition. For several days
the weather has been remarkably fine for
corn and wheat, but it would appear as if
the wevil is just obtaining fair foothold,
the wheat fields being literally alive just
before night with the insect that deposits
the egg. Fair weather with fast ripening
may however do much towards saving the
grain from the depredations of this pest or
scourge

BeA-Our community was considerably
startled on Friday afternoon by the an
nouncement that DANIEL FICHTHoRN had
died suddenly at Jacks Greek. In compa
ny with Alex. Eisenbise he had started off
in the morning for the purpose of spend
ing the day in fishing, &c, and while seat
ed along the creek eat considerable GUAM
tity Of sorrel, familiarlarly known as sour
grass. About = clock he was seized with
violent cramping pains and Immediately
taken to the building at the dam, occupied
by VIM. Palmer, where such restoratiyes
as were at hand were administered, but he
soon became conscious that his end was
approaching, aud after giving some di, &c
tions respecting his affairs, expired No
post mortem examination was made, but
the general impression prevails that he was
poisoned by the sorrel or some other herb
he inadvertently laid his hands on, though
this is evidently an error, as poisonous plants
do not act on the muscular system Mr..
f. was native of Berks county, and had
resided in this place for a number of years
engaged in various pursuits. His remains
attended by large number of deeply af-
hicted relatives and several hundreds Of
our citizens, were inferred in the Methodist
Cemetery ON Sunday last

ardu0us endeavors to elevate the standard of

FIRE CRACKERs.-The abominable prac-
tice of firing off crackers has already
commenced, and unless checked by some
contiagration or serious accident by soaring
horses, we suppose it will be continued by
every boy from three years old up who can
raise penny until the 4th of July. 1t is
certainly surprising that parents and 9th
ers will furnish money for such trash when
so much better use could be made of it,
and still more surprising that young chill
dren are suffered to handle and fire them
off before their faces without reproof In
addition to the danger to property and the
risk of soaring horses, the material of which
they are composed is poisonous, and in
one instance that we remember. caused the
death Of child.

New Filibuster Excitement.

New troubles threaten this country and
England about the flibusters. The steam
er Washington, which sailed from New
York two weeks ago, for San Juan, with
seme 200 California passengers, was beard
ed of the barber San Juan. by officers Of
the British ship Leopard and Valorous, with
side arms, and various impudent questions
were asked as to the character and destina-
ton Of her passengers, the evident suspicion
beng that they were fliibusters. This, Of
course, was oaother exercise, on the part of
the British, of tae right Of search, which our
government utterly repudiates. After COM
hitting this COURAGE" the British ship
Valorous is said to have started off in search
of the Steamer Susan, which recently left
Mobile with some 800 Of Walkers "emi-
grants" on board. If the Vaorous over
/ takes the Susan, fcourse, there will be mu-
sic; for alli,ougA our government has YES
sells also in pursuit of the Susan as filibus
tsring concern, yet she will not permit her
to be taken in tow or overhauled by . YES
sci of War Of any European nation. "The
OulS uOpC now, says LAG " osAiuStoh y q"
ion, 'ef averting another very serious diff
Guilty with England on account of the fill
buster and right of search question is, that
our cwn vessels may succeed in intercept
ing the Susan ard bringing her back to our
ports, before she is met by the British YES
sci in persnit Of her.
This whole affair, says q Washington des-
r patch, excites intense interest in official
} quarters, as IT is considered that if tbs SUI
san shall be arrested by the English and
other foreign forces, the volunteer feelings
, o!this country would be aroused to the
: highest degree OF excitement and immense
reineorcements rush to their rescue; hence
a crisis in the foreign relations Of our Gov
a eminent will be precipitated and NEST an
CRY and threatening state Of things viii
probably result between our Government
r and those of Great Britain, France, and
Spain.
The case becomes more aggravated frsn
, the fact that when the Washingting landec
At Virginia Bay with her California psssen'
gers they were not allowed to cross the
IsthMus Tehuantepec, on account Of British

WASHINGTON ITEMs-The Presidents re-
cent foreign appointments have all been re-
ported on favorably by the committee to
which they were referred. An executive
session will be held to morrow for their con-
firmation.
Times oorrcspo- dent says, the House
Committee on Territories met Yesterday
Stephens o: Georgia asked for authority to
report the bill for the admission Of Oregon.
1t is opposed by the Republicans, who say
they are unwilling TO admit Oregon with a
population Of only a, 900. The vote stood
four in favor and four against reporting. Sc
the motion was lost.
The House Committee on foreign relations
has agreed unanimously to report resolu-
ton of inquiry relative ia the visit Of Brit.
ish officers OF the Valorcus TO the steamer
Washington.
The TTibune's Washington correspond
ence says: Mr.. Douglas has proposed and
will soon publish doclar alton of his inten
ton not to be candidate fer the Presiden
cy in 1860.
The Republican in the House have deter
mined 10 make an effort to repeal the Eng
fish limitation in the Kansas act 50 as to
put Kansas on an equality with Oregon.
The Washington correspondent OF the
Commercial Advertise says Capt. Mcintosh
has written TO the department that the Brit
ish vessels OF war did not visit the Washing
ton on account of any pretention to the
right Of search, but On the ground ofthe du
ties Of Great Britain, under her protector
ate Of the Musq uito coast, and also in virtue
Of her engagements with Nicaragua for the
enforcement Of her police. The emigrants
on board the Susan, from Mobile, will re
ceiye similar visitation, and if cur own ma
val fierce should, in dsobediance Of positive
orders, suffer them to land, they will be fol
lowed by British forces into the interior
