BLOWING OUT THE GAs.-On Tues
day night, one of the boarders at the
Peoria House discovered a strong
smell of gas prevailing his apartment,
and tried in VAIN to discover the cause.
On opening the door into the hall and
finding it even more powerful there,
lie at once descended to the office to
learn who were the occupants of the
adjoining room. This was found to
be widow lady from the country with
two children, and committee at once
waited upon her at the door of her
chamber to see what the trouble was.
After some difficulty she was awaken
ed and the question asked, " Did you
turn off the gas in your room, Madam.
or blow out the light"
Blew it out sir"-was the friphteu-
cd response.
"Cau you shut it off ?"
81 do not understand how" was
anain the response in even more fright
ened tones than at first.
"Then," said the clerk, "you will
be obliged to unlock your door and let
US in" which was accordingly done /;
for the woman's olfactory sense had
already convinced her there was some
thing wrong, but whether arising from
internal. external, Of course, she could
not determine.

GooD FOR OH BUCK.-An instance
of Old Bucks disposition to serve his
friends has lately manifested itself in a
striking way to quiet and unpretend-
ing citizen Of Mendoza. The young
man IN question is a German-Bleicl
by name-who is a surveyor by occu-
patton, and was one of Fremont's men
in his first exploring expedition in the
West. 1t appears by recent develop
ments that Mr.. Buchanan, while at
tending the Ostend Conference, met
the father Of this young man, who is a
person of high standing in his own
country, and who rendered Mr.. Blu
chanan some essential service. This
gentleman mentioned to Mr.. Buchanan
that he had a son in this country, and
the nature Of his employment, and sug-
gested that he should pay him some
attention should it come in his way.
The young man Bleiel got married
became poor aud dispirited-and
out Of employment, sought home at
. humble German house in Mendoza,
where be was recently surprised at the
reception Of letter from the President
Of the United States, who offered him
. coosulship abroad or any other post
70 which his tastes or talents might be
suited. Young Bleiel wrote immedi-
stely. thanking Mr.. Buchanan for his
offer, giving his reasons, which were Of
. domestic nature, for declining the
cossulship, but designated surveyor.

der the date Of Nov. Goth, gives the
following information regarding the
"diggings."
Numerically, the prospects" are
good-miners are making from five
to eight dollars per day, but to tell
you the truth, very small proportion
of the citizen OF Auraria, or Colona, or
Kansas, as the case may be, are miners,
and very large proportion Of them
are spectators and do not like hard
work. There is plenty of gold here,
but person must work to get it. l
have a nice little job on baud, survey
ing the tow Of Auraria, for which get
fifty ce, is per lot and all my hands
furnished. We have some fifty houses
up now, and by the last of the present
week will have over one hundred.
Finally, the weather is delightful,
the air pure, the water good, whiskey
high, game plenty, aopetites good,
duns nowhere, fun plenty, fiddles in
demand, squaws pretty and affable,
and no man was ever known to die a
natural death in the country.

Between republican constitution
maksr, republican Legislators, and re-
publican Boards Of Education, affairs 10
The State Of Iowa have become SO
mixed up, confused and complicated,
that it would puzzle that person. pro-
verbally acute above all others, "a
Philadelphia lawyer" to disentangle
them. Each one Of the three above
mentioned bodies seems TO have been
Of the opinion that it comprised with
in itself oil Of the wisdom, learning and
craftsmanship in the country, and each
individual member OF each body ap-
pears to have entertained the impress
sion that he was the grand depository
Of wisdom which endowed these
bodies with these distinguished quail
tiles.
Proceeding upon this impression,
each body not only contradlcted its
own acts: but interfered in matters OF
the others, with which it had no bnsi-
ness whatever, and the consequence

versal conflict of authority and con-
fusion worse COMPOUNDED, in every de-
partment OF the government
It will be remembered that the
Board Of Education converting imme-
diately after the decision Of the SUI
preme Court, declaring the School
Law unconstitutional, enacted a law
legalizing and confirming all acts done,
all taxes levied, and all elections of Of
ficers, under the bogus law. This law
they designated a curative act, and
intended that it should at once put an
end to the confusion, into which the
judgment Of the Supreme Court had
thrown our educational interests and
again restore that happy state of az
fairs which had offered such facilities
for the insertion of the greedy fingers
Of hundreds of useless republican Off
cials into the public pocket: but alas
for their good intentions, alas for the
happy self congratulations Of the res
stored republican officials, the "cura-
tive" act has Tut aggravated the dis
ease 1t has acted as oil poured upon

the voices Of many thundcrs to the
already deafening chaotic confusion.

publication OF the act, 1t has been de-

declared null and void. At the late
term Of the District Court held at

we have mentioned was made BY Judge
