New School HousE.-The residents of
the northern part of this township have just

s;stance. 1t is called the "Lve Oak School
House." and will be opened on Monday next
for a public school term.
We are requested to say that on to NOR
row afternoon, at Q o'clock, religious service

LATER News FROM THE EAsT.-The John
L. Stel%ens a,rived at San Francisco, on
Wednesday morning with Eastern dates to
the 2sth of February. There is not much
news. In Congress the Senate had refused
by vote of % ayes, to 27 nays to strike out
the clause restricting Kansas to a certain
population to enable her to Obtain admission
into the Un;on. The President had sent a
message to both Houses pointing out the
necessity of law that would enable the
President to promptly obtain redress from
other Governments when outrage was COM
mited upon tie persons and property Of
American citizens. The news from Europe
is warlike. France and Austria continue
their warke preparations.

CAPITOL AT OAKLAND.-The annual fever
for removing the seat of Government has

think the move was rather premature-i,

DnhuQue to be Sold Out.

Some few weeks since, it will be
remembered, We explained at length a
proposition then pending before that
highly respectable body, the Common
Council Of Dubuque, for sw,ndling the
tax payers Of that city to a large
amount to relieve the Central Island
Company from the endorsements in
which it had become involved. Snb
sequently We mentioned the fact that
IN Injunction had been applied for by
the tax payers, and granted, to prevent
the contamination Of the fraud. We
now learn BY the Herald that Judge
Williams, Of Clay ton-a neighboring
couuty-has dissolved the injunction
and that it is expected that at the next
meeting Of the Council-the last
obstacle to the enactment of the swim
die having been 'emoved-the sale Of
the City to the Central Island compa-
ny will be completed. A meeting Of
tax payers il called, as a last resort, to
sss whether some plan vet untried,
ecms influence not yet brought to
bear, cannot be devised or interested,
70 prevent the fraud. Verify the cities
q Iora are peculiarly blessed in their
Common Councils. Davenport kaows

TERRIBLE ACCIDENTAL sad acct
dent occurred yesterday, by which one
child has lost its life, and another it is
feared, IS fatally burned. The wife Of
Frederick Shaber, residing in Elizabeth
street, was accustomed to lock the chill
dren in the house, while carrying her
husband his dinner While gone upon
this GRAND yesterday, the attention Of
the ne,ghbors was drawn to the house
by the smell of fire; they proceeded to
burst open the door, and found the
children of Mrs. Shaber, lying on the
bed, which was on fire. The little girl,
bnt little over two years old, was dead
when discovered, apparently smother
cd, as she was but little burned. Her
brother, boy of 4 years of age, was
lying by her, burned in most horrible
manner. 1t is scarcely possible for him
to live.-Nepark 1dcertiser, 18Th.

A BATTLE OF LANGUAaEs.-Quite
an amusing occurrence took place a few
DAYS since between a Chinaman and a
Frencbman, concerning q disputed
matter Of clothes washing. Gesticula-
ton and vociferation were fast and
furious, and to listen to the wordy war
one would imagine that both Of them,
like Shakspeare's character, had been
to feast of languages, and had
stolen the scraps" but were totally un-
able to digest the polyglott food thus
surrpetitou.ly obtained. There was a
perfect tumble Of English, Chinese,
French, and aught We know Arabic
and some of the dead languages. The
Chinaman had the Frenchman BY the
collar, and ratified away at the fellow
ing rate
"Me wishes = lenty tmes-two, tree
weeky-no hab got cash-you no good
alice same very bad-you teefy =
you hong wo tiYun." screamed John
falling ha OF is mothers tongue for
an expleative sufficientlysweighty.

the Frenchman, gesticulating like mad.
Here both parties became SO
excited that they both fell back
on their mother tongue, and amid
the roars OF hongs' and the
rattle Of French consonants, the China
man tore his antagonists coat, the
latter jerked Oft peice Of the Celes-
tails tailcular appendage, and the con-
ference broke up in general row OF
invectives, fierce, no doubt. but unin-
teligible. Our ears still ring with the

HEART DIsEAsE-Sudden deaths, which
are becoming very frequent Of late, are
usually ascribed to disease of the heart
This is only a guess. and probably not
correct one. DR.. Wynne. in q recent lee.
ture before the New York Medical College,
said that the deaths from heart disease were
extremely rare. Of twenty-six cases Of
sudden death examined by one physician,
not one was by heart disease, but 10 by
pulmonary congestion. OF forty cases ex-
amined by another, only two were Of heart
disease, and "a by pulmonary congestion.
When a man is said to die of heart disease,
it usually means only that the cause of death
is not known.
